Wait. These guys are coming here to get a degree....

“William” didn’t have anywhere else to go. Today? “William” would have transferred…And got paid!

That was an awesome tribute to a guy that exemplifies what it means to be an AU student athlete. I’ll miss seeing him on the court. Good luck and God speed young man.

YEA! Crap… All in one inning!

Come on man. We haven’t hated GT since 1987! You must still have some grease on your hands from way back in the day!

I don't know man. No other sport had as many athletes in the Olympics. And that's a pretty "major" thing. AU swimming put AU on the world map.

Come in man. Didn’t you see Major League? Sometimes you gotta catch ‘em off guard!

That was time I won’t get back. Fighting to stay on the field with the bottom of the league. Can’t walk batters and expect to win.

Nah. But we have enough mealy mouth fans that they need to be called out when proven to be nothing but a blow hard.

Dean making one last stand? Maybe his departure will be a celebration instead of a good riddance.

NIL is not paid by the school.

Many so called AU fans were horrible to Nix. I’m happy he did what he needed to do for himself. I’m saddened at the modern fan for the way they turn on players so quickly. I will try to cheer on our guys as best I can. Hopefully I won’t fall into the pit of despair when it comes to an individual's play. Hopefully.

Gotta keep ‘em calm sos they hits that three ball baby!

Have you seen the modern AU fan? Good luck with this.

She is a basketball player…

Wholloway? Done.

I’ve thought this same way over the years, however it seems once you get above 6’ 1”, there are few guys who truly excel at DB. I’m not sure what it is. It’s a very reactionary position. Maybe there is a cutoff in which the smaller guys just adjust better. That’s not saying they don’t exist, it just seems the very good ones at that size are fewer. It would be nice to have a couple though.

Yes we do. And I think he’s there. The last part of the season and especially the tournaments, he picked it up. Coming back as one of the leaders, I think he’ll take a huge step forward. As someone else mentioned, hopefully he can finish a little stronger on his drives. He is very close to being a complete SG.

I am looking forward to DJ 2.0 next season. His confidence and aggressive nature finally took over. Hopefully with JPP coming in, the shot opportunities will open up tremendously for both and create a two headed monster that gives teams fits. One can dream. Chaney finally got comfortable and looks like he is ready to take off. CBM will only continue to get better, I feel. It took these guys a bit to fit in and fully gel. And thank goodness we get them another season. That was the only reason to allude to any slow starts; The fact that anyone we bring in with only one season left, should be ready to hit the ground running. The more I see what BP is putting together, the more excited I get.

He and Aden missed a lot of threes early on. Aden never got started. Denver went on a tear later. Just think if he had made 30% of those threes early on what his overall % would have been. I can’t count the games we all lamented his 3 point shooting and asked when it would finally kick in. Thank goodness it did. But we can’t discount the slow start.

It took Denver until the end of the season to find that shot he was brought in for. He could barely hit a three for over half the season. He was a good defender, so that offset the missing threes. CBM was an excellent defender and was a good addition. He definitely got better by the end of the season. Chaney struggled with a slow start but was able to step up when Jay went down. All of these guys struggled a bit in the beginning but they are also multi year transfer players. So the risk was worth it. With a one and done, if they don’t come in hot, their upside is a huge risk for AU.

I thought Wes had been discussed. Excellent person, step slow. Freshmen aren’t passing him by because he is not liked, or worked hard, or hasn’t been given a chance to prove himself. After a couple of seasons, one realizes they are a step too slow for this level of football. The freshmen leaving now did not even give themselves a chance after their redshirt year to see if they would progress. These are two different scenarios.

It would be a shame if this is about money this early in their career.

Was he upset at being redshirted? Or did he get beat out? As he is just a freshman, I think he would have progressed tremendously this season. I guess these freshmen see the writing on the wall. It used to be work hard and show them all. Now it’s go elsewhere.
