Seems its been the rumor this was going to happen for days now.? What's the deal with this dude? Did Bama want to part ways with him?

 

[aggietider]

So what really happened here?

 

[Jordan Harper]

Off the court legal issues arose this year.

Perfect response.

There is absolutely no evidence that RJJ got in any off-court trouble.
Could it be that it's just not a good fit anymore? He is a short 3-star combo-guard who probably won't get much playing time at Bama.

While the last sentence is also true, those that live in or around the area of Huntsville knows what happened with him. I’m just not going to speak on it.

This was not unexpected. He did have some off the court problems, but l have never heard what they were. l was told however not to expect him to be in this class and have posted that earlier.
