We will see. I really hope so.

I guess that is all he can say at this time, but in all honesty it did not leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy about KD returning.

If he's on campus and in class I would "expect" him back but if he's not on campus I would have my doubts after "expecting" him back after spring break.

My thoughts, also.

Really hope to see him back in the fall. I was looking forward to seeing him and Craig-Myers torture opposing secondaries.

He is and has been at home taking care of some things. That's all that can be said right now. I'm not sure if he will be back or not.

Great news!  We need him, glad he has stayed academically eligible and will be here for summer works/fall practice.  WDE Kyle!

??? What exactly is great news, the fact that Gus continues to say what he has always said? Gus is master of hiding the ball so we shouldn't rely on anything he says about Kyle Davis. Gus also expected Lawson back too soon after he injured his knee - that didn't exactly turn out like he said.

True...better to say something like..." we will know when we know"....but he just can't seem to keep his mouth shut about the stuff that he should keep his mouth shut about.

I gotta see it to believe it

Boy!!! Gus can't win on this forum. If he says something, someone will say "he should have been quiet", if he don't say anything, someone will say "he should have said something". I think people need to think about what they're saying before hitting submit.

He can say whatever he wants. A smart AU fan would be in see it to believe it mode because a lot of what he says comes to be untrue.

On this particular issue though, what he said is all he can say right now whether Kyle comes back or not. If he said anything else it would create extra needless drama for the time being.

lol so true. But wins on the field eliminate the complaining about all the little stuff. Nobody cared about what he was saying in the press when we were killing teams. But when the wins aren't piling up as fast as we'd like all of a sudden the same things he said in the media when we were winning get under some people's skin.

Gus and coach speak ... whatever Gus.. good luck to Kyle . I hope he is getting the support he needs

Ikr....it may not be up 100% up to Gus...I am sure he wants one of his most talented players back by fall. What coach would not? I see no problem with his answer. If KD he does not show up for fall (which I hope he does because he is an elite talent) but if not then next man up.....

The good news is that our WR group is probably as deep as it has ever been and might be the deepest of any position we have on the team so if we have to miss an elite player, I guess WR would be the position to choose. That said, KD is probably our best receiver so he can't exactly be replaced.

Gus has earned this.

WRs have struggled in the Spring though overall. Here's to hoping they come on in the Fall.

Don't forget that NCM was, at one point, the #1 high school player in the country at any position. Not saying he's better than KD... but he might be. And he looked like a monster to me at A Day. 

Just felt like sprinkling a little sunshine on the thread...

NCM and KD would be the perfect compliment. I see KD as a possession receiver - he never seems to drop any passes and I see NCM as being the burn you long type of receiver. I definitely think this offense could go places with both of them. We can still be really good on offense without him, but we could truly have a special offense with him.

No doubt. Fingers crossed for a happy ending. No, not that... jeez, guys, come on.

Not me...I am always in the camp of "...Gus should keep his mouth shut as much as possible when talking about issues of health, who might start, who looked good in practice, and a dozen more things"     ..... because nothing he can say will actually advance the fortunes of Auburn's football program....JMO

Hopefully a more consistent Sammie Coates. Good contrast to the big yards after catch factor of Stove.
