Yeah, we would have been worse playing Augustus all year...

All I know is that with Augustus we were 12-9. Without him we were 8-3.

In games against SEC teams, including today, we were 5-6 with him playing and 5-1 with him on the bench.

All that having been said, he has played well the last few games and I hope he keeps it up. He's got a ton of talent.

Do I think it's his fault, yeah I do, do I think it's Stans fault, yes I do (wish I could say more). Sure I wish things would have been different but thats behind us and now we have to look forward not look back, you should know. Why complain now, at least wait till the season is over.
How many teams in the Ncaa win 20 games? Look at it this way, Stans is consistent in winning, thats part of the goal. If you don't win 20 plus games it's pretty hard to dance, regardless. Not only 20 wins but now we are 10 and 7 in the SEC, thats pretty good as well, how many teams in the SEC have winning records?
Hey, with this team, the NIT ain't all bad. It's better to play than not to play. Who knows 34, we might catch magic in the bottle and get to the finals and anything can happen.
I don't think Kodi will transfer, why would he want to sit "another year". I've been told he'll be back. He seems to be happy now, I hope he stays, again with he and Jarvis would make a great inside game.
SC is gonna be tough, hope we get on fire as I think we will need to score in the 80's to beat them.

Stans started the year with Jarvis and Brian at the 5 and Elgin, Kodi, and Osby at the four. Then Brian got hurt again so Stans had Jarvis with Elgin at the 5 and Kodi with Osby at the four. Then we underperformed as a team and he probably re-evaluated without Brian available and made a decision to go with 4 gaurds. Kodi ended up the odd man out and told Stans to kiss his *** then got into Stans' doghouse. If that happened I imagine Stans took a hardlined approach and stopped communicating with Kodi until Kodi made-up and Stans absolutely needed him and Elgin got hurt. I could be completely wrong, but this is my guess based on 200 mins in a game and Stans trying to spell the 4 and 5 in order to maximize their production.

Whatever happened I am glad Kodi is playing right now and he appears to be playing much better now than he did early in the season and a more complete game than his AAU coach advised. So whoever is at fault the most I have no idea, but I do know that kodi should be telling that AAU coach to eat his *** or whatever from not getting a little defense out of him. Afterall, if he can shoot and nothing else he will not last long in the league.
