Good, 17 you Bruce.

Good. 100% the correct move.

And before the local haters try to compare Garrison to Shaq Wiggins, we have NOT had any coaching changes and Auburn IS IN our conference and in our schedule every year. Apples/Oranges

I hope that the kid really does want to be here and it's been all mama

That doesn't even matter. Wiggins was a graduate transfer, and Brooks was not. I see zero reason to restrict the school, but he absolutely should have to sit a year.

This is the crux of the entire conversation. I'm hearing conflicting reports. Some think the momma is 100% behind this and the kid genuinely wants to be here. If Garrison doesn't want to be here, then let him walk. To me this is all about WHO is making the decision.

This.. mama is not going to be happy. Send her some Juicy Jumbos...

To me, it doesn't sound like he wants to be here.

IF he doesn't want to be here (and I see no reason to necessarily believe that he doesn't), he can walk. He can play a year of JUCO ball or sit out a year and transfer wherever he wants to. He just can't go play at Auburn immediately.

You can't force a kid to be on your team, but he shouldn't get to just go somewhere else with no consequences.

I don't even care if he ends up at Auburn, but he better be sitting out a year before he plays for them.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

I agree, I don't see the issue. Is it just that he wants to play immediately? Is that the only holdup? If so, forget him, make him sit. Isn't that an NCAA thing?

I really hope Auburn is tampering and gets nailed for this

His tweet should instead say "I took somebody else's spot at MSU with my commitment and Coach Howland believes the NCAA rules deal with my decision to back out."

This puts it all on him instead of Howland.

Apparently the NCAA has also DENIED his appeal. AL.Com is reporting that Brooks is down to two options .. "Either go to prep school or (Mississippi) State," Brooks said.
