I've never seen so many guys who feelings get hurt when you don't agree with them. You guys sure clique up quick though 😂 That would eliminate you from that also. You're as thin skinned as it comes.

This is just a really odd decision, IMO. GL to the kid except when he plays us and Auburn continues to dominate TN in BBall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,779 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This is what? His fifth school in six years? Sixth in five years? Apparently his daddy is just as bad as some of the "handlers" we've seen running players in the past. The kid is old enough to tell Daddy he wants to stay at AU if that is what he wanted. This silly move hurts AU and doesn't help Powell at all. I hope at some point in the future Justin grows a set and starts making his own decisions. That time comes for all of us and his time is already past due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,114 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 On a side note I'm surprised that guys like the Powells & Pinson are choosing SEC schools not knowing if they will have to sit next year. Even if the NCAA 1 time transfer & play goes through as expected there's no guarantee the SEC will follow suit & change it's interconference transfers have to sit a year rule. In fact people like Saban are strongly opposing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,084 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 And I'm not buying it's all on his dad either. I have an 8 year old good god son that has enough intelligence that wouldn't let go of something he has for a promise of something he might get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUSage 10 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Having Justin Powell transfer away from Auburn is a net negative for us (as most of you have acknowledged), having him transfer to TN to play for Barnes is a net negative for him. I live in KY and scuttlebutt among the Big Blue faithful is that the kid's dream all along was to play for UK. Calipari did not recruit him from high school and apparently doesn't want him now. Hope things work out for him. Loved watching him play for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,111 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This kid will regret this mistake for a long time. Still don’t understand why talent continues to flock to Rick Barnes when he’s proven that he will under-develop & under-perform with that talent every year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,823 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 It honestly pisses me off how stupid this guy’s dad seems to be. “Let me take my son off a future top 10 team and trust the slimiest coach in the sport that he’ll put him in a better position” Id trust Satan before Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
