Let's wait for confirmation. There are plenty of folks on this board who can let us know for sure whether this is a scoop or rumor.

Steve, you took the word from a "Student" that goes to another university.....Yes, Alex is coming back....I guess where this rumor started since he isnt coming for Summer Session, which did not make the coaching safe very happy, but you cant blame him since he has a job where he's making 16 bucks an hour....so yes as of right now he isnt here but that's b/c he's home working, He's a very good student so the credits were not needed like a lot of student athletes need....so just relax guys, if anything changes I'll tell yall first but dont expect anything

Thanks for clearing that up. All we need right now is to have someone else leave the program who has potential.

maybe just wishful thinking on the part of a BSOUTH rival or something! Glad to hear we're retaining him.

:lol: :lol: :lol:


That was pretty good PA!

A phone call was made to him today and he said again how he needed to get home and make some money to pay some bills (family isnt in a position to help him out) and he signed up for summer classes b/c he intended to take them but this needed to be done...it's not the best situation when most of the team is here but he said he cant wait to get back here and he loves the school and loves the team....so I guess you just have to take a man at his word, but geez now a days anything can happen with todays athletes!

In fairness to Steve, how on earth would he have known the guy was from another University? I am ever amazed at your computer skills HMO.

i spoke to my man alex earlier today. he lives about 15 min from me but anyway, hes been working really hard in the weight room, working on skill, and he also has a job. who ever this guy is starting stuff, he has no clue about what he's talking about. nothing to worry about, our 6'7 230 horse will be back and better than ever..... no need for this thread to go on any longer!

p.s. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SCAR :lol: !!

Thanks for the birthday wishes LUBM. Have you lost your log in info? I see you posted as a guest. Alex actually hit me with a birthday greeting on facebook yesterday too so I am confident he is still in the mix. He is gonna be fun to watch next season.

It's not about that it's about the fact someone got on here asked a simple question and he responded with....Ohhh great (he could have been serious and he could have been joking) but my response would have been the same if it was a student at LU....heck even if I said it, dont jump to the conclusion that it's fact! Lord knows I've been wrong on here (although I must say my % is steller!)

We're lucky on this board b/c most of the info is factual but most message boards are filled with lies and stories and people bitter and just trying to start drama

PS, if it seemed like I was picking on steve, I'm sorry it came across like that, if I was to pick on anone it would have been our guest
