Obviously need to wait and see what he did, but he would look good in Maroon. We need guys like him.

Hopefully it was something that forced Golesh's hand but isn't something that makes him nuclear. Like say blowing up on Golesh in front of the team, which is bad but could be a momentary lapse that he can learn from as opposed to doing something that would make it hard for a school to take him.

LSU all the way. Must have been a cancer because the Auburn fans are actually glad he’s gone. Super talented.

Rumor I saw was he was missing meetings and just disappearing generally and didn’t respond well. Sign him up. We can even eliminate team meetings as part of his NIL package
Same rumor I saw. I say we just let him do his thing away from the team. Give him a uniform on game day and tell him to wreak havoc. **

I haven't heard the background of this, but I'm just gonna say that if it's bad enough for Auburn to actually dismiss someone, we should probably tread cautiously
Not only that, but they got rid of him, and actually played better (against #1 I might add)

2 games he missed were their best wins

Don't need this clown

obviously it was for wearing profanity on his jersey.

The way we are losing important dudes on D, there is almost no SEC starter that we couldn't use.

THIS. This is Auburn we are talking about.
Well, it's Golesh. This may be him having to fix culture. Chances are good that Atkins will not learn his lesson for the next stop, but it's not a massive risk to take him. You take him if you can get him and the NIL is conditioned on behavior. If he comes and still hasn't learned his lesson, then you cut him lose and aren't really worse off unless you had another LB that passed on you because you took him.
