Avery Atkins from Auburn HS in Auburn, AL (All A's and makes all A's so he must be A-OK)

You have to like the way O identifies a weakness and goes after it to get it fixed asap, transfers, then JUCOs, now preferred walk on at a spot that will be the difference in 2-3 games almost every year. I like that alot, much more of a sense of urgency

Hope he works out, that way we don't have to use a slot for 1 like we did this year.

Why are they doing the “L is for loser” hand gesture?
