how often does a player get released for playing time and allowed to go to another in conf team? this doesn't seem to common to me.

fwiw i think he is still tigerbaitable

if theres any positive in this its that he only gets 2 years at Auburn (assuming he goes there) and that his senior year he would only really be a junior experience wise. I still wish him well in regards to his future.

Well it is the difference between LSU and AU

AU=lots of playing time
LSU=better work your arse off to see the field

With Chizik, this may become more of a commonality

yea just seems odd that we are just letting him walk off. i mean the u and shannon put all kinds of restrictions on marve

fwiw i like the move of letting him go. It should help us in recruiting his school later.

I never believe in letting a kid go when he is going to another SEC school.

there might be some other motive here like staying in good with his former hs coaches.

Doesn't his transfer have to be approved by Les? It was always my understanding that you could block certain transfers from happening, such as transferring to a rival.

I think the school has to release you. Im pretty sure les has agreed to do that.

Which baffles me... why approve it to a heated SEC rival?

This sucks given the current info. He could bite us in the arse big time. Phelon is not some 2 star lame-o going to Kansas. This guy has always been mentioned on this board as being a starter or contributor next year. Anyone remember who freaking Auburn is?
