Why can't we have 2 deep at every position? The SG position is what keeps effing up for us. KD is our starter there. Desi was going to come off the bench but still we can't have depth for ish at SG.

slyinsocal 831 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 So.....he may still come......but it sounds like a situation with a few credits not transferring, and/or the majors not lining up, which can happen to ANY student. But come on. It's Arky to Auburn. Within the same conference. I know Auburn has a little higher standard than most, but it's not Vandy. As a student, I'd be bummed out if some of my earned credits weren't accepted by the new school. It's a head scratcher for the academic side to NOT accept credits from a fellow school on the same level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was very evident lol, there’s a lot of things that could be not true in that picture. All of it could be true and he’s running media for himself. None of it could be.

It's a head scratcher for the academic side to NOT accept credits from a fellow school on the same level. I think what I am reading, is that Sill's major is not one Auburn has or maybe has one quite not like the major at Ark, and therefore some of his credits don't fit the major he would have to change to at Auburn. They are saying he can lose some credits but still be fine coming to Auburn, but it puts him behind getting his degree, and he has to decide if he wants to do that or not.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Auburn has a little higher standard than most, but it's not Vandy. It's not just a matter of accepting the level of the course, it's whether or not Auburn has a course that lines up with it to make the transfer plausible. For example, I took Graph Theory at Auburn, and when I transferred back to AUM to finish up, it didn't transfer. Of course, my advisor said it's more a postgraduate course, in the first place, but I was only able to use that credit as a math elective, not as one of the core math courses like I would have at main campus. I suspect it's something along those lines that is not allowing his courses to transfer too well. I would think this would do nothing but set him back a little in pursuit of a new major that is as close to his old course of study as possible. Maybe that's what's going on with the situation changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, you know, if I'd seen this 8 years ago, I would have thought you were crazy. The fact that we may well have two full lineups of players that could, with a couple of decent bench players added in, win 17-18 games in the SEC. Putting both lineups on the same Pearl-coached team is a recipe for pedal to the metal basketball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,670 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Many schools have bull**** variations of essentially the same damn course, Auburn included I had my own issue with a course from a school within the state that actively makes its money on courses being able to transfer to the Aubs and UAs...it’s just unfortunate sometimes Cool to hear these advisors are also piss poor at handling athletes with thousands of followers and thousands in value lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddc 13,194 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Forgot about b-ball transfers! Sills is hopefully getting his stuff in order to play for AU this season. Edited June 5, 2021 by toddc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,650 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The Desi pendulum has swung back to "he's not able to come" again. Nathan King seems confident this was the last attempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublaise 199 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 So am I to get this right, for Desi the "student" is more important that the "athlete?" If this is the case, I am highly impressed and wish him nothing but the best of luck at his next school (with his major) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
