Auhsv 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm listening to WJOX and they said some kid had talked to Barbee and wanted released from his scholly. I didn't heear who it was. Anybody hear it or got an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I think they might have been talking about Jalen Steele. Any of the basketball people know much about this kid? I heard he was AA player of the year at Fulton County averged 24 points a game and was like 6'3. They did say his release is pending but I can't imagine Auburn would make him stay when he doesn't want to be here. Is this a big lose or just an opening for a Barbee recruit??

Auhsv 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 OK, I had heard that he might want out right after Lebo was let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotownAUfan 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I dont think it's Steele, I know Anthony Salter, a JUCO point guard wants out of his scholly because of some kind of trouble he is having with a class in JUCO or something of that nature. Not necessarilly anything to do with Barbee. That is the only person I've heard of wanting out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthyfan 124 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It is Steele. He met with Barbee already and wants to consider other schools. Not much to worry about as Barbee is a recrutiing nut who will go after his style of player. Not worried at all because Barbee's rep is very very good. And when he announces his staff next week, it'll be much clearer. See other posts about new recruits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdoc 17 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 According to reports on al.com, both Steele and Salter have requested releases form their LOI's. http://blog.al.com/auburnbeat/2010/04/report_jalen_steele_wants_rele.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange and Blue 17211345162833 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I would hate to lose Steele but the future of Auburn Basketball is bright.

Steele`s coach says he is or has requested a release. he wants to look around some more and is not necessarily closing the door on Auburn but just wants the opportunity to look. Who knows where he might end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Mech 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 If he doesn't want to be at Auburn. Then give him release with the stipulation that he has to go to a school outside of the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Let him go. It only take 1 bad apple to mess up a whole bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,866 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 If he doesn't want to be at Auburn. Then give him release with the stipulation that he has to go to a school outside of the SEC. I agree, let him go but not to another SEC school. If he doesn't want to be here fine, but don't let him help anyone we compete against. That's fair to both sides. Too bad it can't work out, he is going to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IManAUBURNlifer 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The more people that leave, the more spots Coach Barbee has to bring in his own guys. Personally, I really like the sound of that.

msg6367 1 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I can't believe that I agree with every posts. I want players who want to play at AU. Coach Barbee needs to have room to recruit some next year. With no seniors on the squad and being very close to the maximum of 13 schollys available in bball, Coach was left in a tight spot and requires tough decisions. I have 100% confidence that he will make the right ones. I would give Steele his decision after April 14th (I think that's the next signing day).

AuburnKev 15 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I agree. Release them conditionally, so they cannot go to any other SEC school, unless he wants to sit out a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubtigerfan21 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I agree. Release them conditionally, so they cannot go to any other SEC school, unless he wants to sit out a year. No let him go where he wants. I want him to see what he left every year when we beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotownAUfan 0 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Haha, yeah seems like I was a little behind on the info curve, no worries though, like everybody else I think Barbee can bring in his guys that are going to be great "replacements" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad5628AU 35 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I know if I had the chance to play for Barbee I would take the oppurtunity. Maybe he thinks with all the talent we're going to bring in next year, he won't see much time. I have a great feeling that the classes we bring in this year/next year will be top recruiting classes.

Mikey 16,630 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The more people that leave, the more spots Coach Barbee has to bring in his own guys. Personally, I really like the sound of that. If you don't want to hop on the train, then get off the tracks fast! Except that most good prospects already signed last November, in the early signing period. The loss of two point guards, Steele and Salter, hits us at a position where we are really weak. Only the coach that sits down across the table and discusses this with them can make the call on whether to release or not. Maybe he knows of a suitable replacement that's available, maybe not. I suppose if they really want to go, you can give them a conditional release and not help the SEC opponents. I do maintain that it's not good news for us to lose two promising guard prospects when we don't have a single scholarship point guard returning to the team.
