Tiger 8,801 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have a hard time thinking losing a 7'2" player that appears to be ready physically is a good thing. Doubtless, for whatever reason it was deserved but it's a shame he didn't pan out. I don't think a fight with Duke caused this. Too much time has passed and there's a very real question whether a fight had anything at all to do with Duke's difficulty. D. Craig said a fight wasn't a factor with Duke. You're right in that its never good to lose a 7 footer who was finally coming into his body...and considering he was a 4*. I was trying to be as optimistic as possible honestly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are back to having a team of forwards and guards.....and having big bodied teams beat us to death inside...JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ber798297 241 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Has it been officially announced yet that he's gone? He's still listed on the roster on the official website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,813 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well this would be a crappy bit of news mixed with all the positive things going on with the program. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it develops. As others have said, this would definitely hurt us for this season at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,367 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I forsaw a ndiaye type of trajectory but with even more results. Would be a bummer of we can't keep him on the team. A few years of solid coaching and this kid will make some money. He is athletic for how big he is and with 260 pounds on his frame could be a monster in time. If he can't make it under pearl, I don't know who he will succeed under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,104 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Since I saw the original post about Reed being off the Team I have been seeing if there has been an official announcements or whether any news sources will confirm. I still have not seen anything. Has there been any announcement from Auburn on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I hate to think that he is off the team. I envisioned a great reclamation story about him turning his life around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,104 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It has been two days since it was reported some pay sites said Trayvon was released from the team. Still no official announcement and nothing in news organizations. Does anybody know if he has really been released? I am hoping that this was false information because he has the potential to help the team this year and in the future. Either way I would like to know for sure.

Almost.....except that football coaches at least acknowledged that Duke was alive and on campus.....this one makes me wonder if Reed has be abducted by aliens and transported elsewhere..

AuburnNTexas 7,104 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Six days since initial report about being kicked off team but no official announcement so does anybody know anything? I have never seen a report like this without an official comment one way or the other within a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a report like this without an official comment one way or the other within a few days. Yep. At least there should be a followup from those that reported it, either backing up what they said or yelling "oops". Either way we should have heard something from somebody.
