Agiye Hall tweets "calling it quits" then deletes tweet.

[4Q Basket Case]

Time stamp on the tweet is 7:42PM. So unless there’s some weirdness with how Twitter assigns time zones to the time stamps (I’ve never had a Twitter account), he tweeted during the game. Either he was sitting at home, not on the travel squad, or he tweeted from the sideline.

Do players even have phones on the sideline?

Pretty sure it is a NCAA and SEC rule that phones are not allowed.

Coach's post-game comments were illustrative. Players have to do things the right way, on the field and off.
I do not know what things young Mr. Hall needs to work on, but Coach knows and I bet Mr. Hall knows.
Buck up, young man. Resilience.

Does anyone know if he was at the game?
Saw this coming, and either it’s a come to Jesus meeting time or hit the road jack.
Sorry to see it happen because he is an immense talent but being a freshman you either have to out practice everyone ahead of you or wait your turn.
Hope he gets his head right but if not, NEXT!

He has a lot of ability, but he’s missing something or he definitely would’ve cracked the lineup with the play of the receivers this year.

Straighten up, work hard and you’ll get out there.

Talk to najee, he had thoughts of leaving early but his good sense won out. Now he starts for the Steelers after being a first round pick with a few mill in the bank. Patience and hard work will be rewarded.

It’s gonna suck when he’s catching passes for the Barn…

It’s gonna suck when he’s catching passes for the Barn…

Or worse, catching passes at Fourteenessee (soon to be Fifteenessee).

I hope he gets his act together. I think his issues are off the field... missing class, late to meetings, etc.

 

[Tide&True]

I hate to see true potential circling the drain

 

[LSUgrad2BamaDad]

I was wondering about him. I remember post A game, the thought was he would be in the WR mix.

Social media and youth are not a good mix.

The play of the receivers is probably why he's becoming impatient. We all saw him at A-day and it must be tough sitting on the sidelines watching the receivers on the field drop balls and just play with a lack of focus. However, it really sounds like his problems might be more of the off the field variety...classes or something.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

To be fair Jeudy and Co were also unhappy early on and I'm pretty sure Jeudy tweeted some stuff.

Hes talented so I'd love for him to figure it out here. Think he could be very good.

That said if not we'll just keep doing our thing without him

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

I‘m not gonna jump on the young man. I think it’s foolish anyone here is doing that without knowing what’s going on. I hope that he finds his way and hope that it’s in Tuscaloosa once he does.

Patience is a dying attribute among college athletes - the transfer portal created this and we see the effect every week...transfers on every team...Ford is running very well for Cincy as just one example of a bama player moving on. It would not surprise me to see him leave. He is probably having his head filled with nonsense from people in his life about what should be his playing time vs working hard and being patient to get it. Sad but a staple now in the game thanks to the change in rules.

Najee couldn’t pick up the blitzer well as a freshman, didn’t see the field much. He is rock solid at it now, just ask Big Ben! It’s the little things , maybe downfield blocking on run plays??? But something, he is super talented!

Our last 2 Big Time recruits that left the program, it didn’t end well for them at their next location. Not sure either one is still in football.grass is not always greener.

Let's not be harsh here. I can't believe I have to say this. Tua, Najee, and others were frustrated at Alabama and wanted to leave. This is nothing new, but people, come on! Let's not be too harsh to young kids with immaturity issues. We need to do better as a fan when it come to stuff like this.

Situations like this remind me of the episode of “The Andy Griffith Show” where Opie befriends a hobo (played by Buddy Ebson) who leads Opie down a primrose path.

Andy states that with children, a parent can't simply let them choose, as they would pick the first thing that comes along wrapped in shiny ribbons. He continues in saying that the hobo life seems to be all fun and games to a child even though they know it's isn’t. Andy tells the Buddy Ebson character he's no longer good company for Opie. Opie thinks just about everything you do is “the best way”, so Andy’s problems have just started.

Coaches in situations like this assume the parental role for these kids. And like Opie they are all kinds of people that “have their ear” and social media only makes it worse. Hard for kids to listen to “Trust me. There are no short cuts”.

Best to young Mr. Hall, whatever he may decide.

No it won’t. He either gets it together and makes it here, or he doesn’t in which we are better off without him.

I agree, I’m a little surprised at some of the reactions!
