Well there ya go. Best of luck to him bulking up and finding his shot (and confidence) elsewhere. Wonder if this potentially pulls TD back in the fold?

Ouch

Good for all involved. Now let’s get some real play makers in here at the guard spot once again. 

[Tigger1985 807]

Hopefully our upgrades are on the way. Thanks for your time Aden, good luck elsewhere

In the words of a very southern version of Socrates ... Well DooDoo

Do we really think Bruce will finally get the G position right?  This is becoming a bad look for him in an otherwise good Auburn career...

Does this change anything as far as our actual recruiting class? Does BP try to recruit a PG now?

That’s what I said in a previous forum .Outside of Jabari who would have made it any where none of these high profile guys are working out. At some point conversations going to be had.

I'm really starting to lose interest in college athletics in general.

Time will tell, but imo the “old Bruce” would have held onto KDJ and AH out of blind loyalty. He seems to have figured out his deficiencies and is attempting to address them by punting KDJ and AH. Not sure about Tre’s decision. 

[WillMunny 1,378]

I wish the kid luck.  Not sad to see him leave, though.  Hope Tre decides to come back now.

@tigeraddikt Likely depends on what he & his mom can get on the market. They are shopping for NIL & PT.

Aden Holloway has a lot of growing to do before he can reach 5* expectations.  He just lacks physicality needed for this level and who knows if he can actually get to that level.  Tre is an all around better choice for point guard in the SEC and he has a higher ceiling than AH, IMO.

Just been a house of horrors with the guard position. No matter how good we do with other spots, there’s just not many teams that are going far with the consistent … there’s 1000 synonyms and none of them are great… at point

The competition coming from Tuscaloosa has opened his eyes also.  If Bruce doesn't change his recruiting and roster management Oats will eat his lunch.

Did he actually push AH out though. I believe someone said AH hasn’t been with the team since the tournament. Sounds like Tre  wanted more NIL so is he addressing it by choice or force.

Best of luck to Aden. He was just in over his head at Auburn.

Did Tahaad Pettiford disappear or something? I thought he was due to arrive on campus next month. Another of CBP's miniPGs.

 

[RunInRed 16,409]

You have to be invited to come back.

[jluvah 665]

Bruce MUST be trying to upgrade the position if all 3 of these guys are going portal. 

[gravejd 3,270]

Bruce is struggling hard to manage the roster in the NIL era. Hope he can figure it out. Brand new team each year stinks. 

[auburnatl1 4,930]

Aiden is in the world of prayer that his shot comes back.

Please explain this. Does Bruce have a formal understanding with players he puts on scholly that at each season’s end their scholly is under review and if he doesn’t formally invite them back, i.e. “renew” their scholarship, then they know to jump to the portal? Or did you just mean “To return, Bruce & Co. have to want you to return?”

You also have to be invited the first time to be invited to come back.
