fredst 9,064 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Wish the kid the best. Hope he lands in a good situation and has success...just hope it isn’t somewhere that he beats us. And, if he ends up being the AU Alvin Kamara.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys transferred because they were stuck behind future heisman winners and nfl running backs. AM wanted to redshirt this year and got screwed by the idiots on the coaching staff. Not nessesarily. There were 5 guys ahead of him with more coming in this year. It’s not far fetched to say what I have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably question the idiocy of this program right now, and want to play where there is normalcy. I might have missed another. That is 1 above the average I believe (5) for power five programs. Just the way it is. With these new transfer rules, it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,860 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The whole “he was down the depth chart” is just a crazy sentiment for me to understand. Kam Pettway was also “down the depth chart” and only got to play when we absolutely had no other choice. Had a pretty good season that year to say the least. Where Asa was on the current depth chart is absolutely irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the discussion as a whole on Asa: I liked the kid. I was very excited when he committed. I thought of him as the next KJ. I did think he needed to transfer though for him and his family. I think a lot of people on this forum also forgot he had a lot of fumbling issues, which is why he was buried in the depth chart. With this day and age, if kids don’t start they are tempted to transfer because they are used to being the “top dog.” I wish him nothing but the best and hopes he succeeds wherever he lands.

I don't care how far down the depth chart he was or whether or not he was ever going to play at Auburn, you do NOT treat a player, esp a young man right out of high school, to this type of stupidity or incompetence.

There were only two running backs on the roster before Pettway. Right now there are five running backs ahead of Asa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,066 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 And people forgetting that with his frame he can be 220 and still have all of his speed. I want to say he had very good hands as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think that if Chip made all of the offensive decision about who plays and who sits, he would have stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 4 and Martin really don't count and Miller doesn't measure up at all, they will be moving him you h back or full back. It was his first year, asa had the most potential out of them all to be a complete back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auelvis87 96 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It's not so much that Asa is transferring. I'm really not surprised he is. I hate to see him go but wish him the best. To me it just shows once again this offensive staff seems to have no plan, strategy, or competency. The guy enrolled early, went thru Spring training, played in 4 games, and this staff still can't determine whether this kid will be able to contribute this year or how he might fit into the offense? Wasted a year of this kid's eligibility for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you that Miller had a ton of potential and I am sad to see him leave, but I do understand and wish him the best. That’s about all we can do as fans really.

I can definitely respect this post and your point of view. I think the coaches really mismanaged AM and that had more to do with him transferring than anything.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I hope Gus is happy with the way he botched Asa's redshirt and now he's transferring out. Another great coaching move on Malzahn's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 With Asa transferring, I'm wondering if Malzahn and Horton will bring in 2 RB's for the 2019 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU82 127 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I wish him luck wherever he ends up. Kids transfer in all sports. People change jobs looking for a better situation. I don’t hold anything against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asa, NCM, J Myers, Jaylen Harris off the top of my head. found an article stating that NCM was the sixth player since fall camp to transfer, so that would put us at 7 I guess.
