Rivals Reports Three Gone

A thin defense gets even thinner. AuburnSports.com is now reporting that three players were dismissed from the team for disciplinary reasons and will not return. They are sophomore safety Christian Thompson, redshirt freshman linebacker Marcus Jemison and redshirt defensive lineman Jomarcus Savage. The reasons have been reported as disrupting classrooms, missing classes, missing workouts, etc...

Four Players Gone?

Auburn Undercover is confirming rumors that at least four players have been removed from the team, while Rivals states that they are still with the team and going through summer workouts. The players involved are Cameron Henderson, Philip Pierre-Louis, Jomarcus Savage and Christian Thompson. In spring practice, Tommy Thigpen was raving over Thompson and Pierre-Louis looked to return after an injury in the first game of last season that held him out all year.

Thursday Practice Report

Thursday's final practice of spring was a scrimmage in Jordan-Hare and it is being described as a very physical affair.

• It is considered a "half" scrimmage.
• Neil Caudle and Barrett Trotter both took hard hits and got a little dinged up. Their exact injuries are unknown. Both seemed to be fine and returned to the scrimmage according to Mike Blanc.
• The defense again dominated the offense by just about doubling up the offense's score. (50 something to 20 something).
• Onterio McCalebb had two long runs.
• Jomarcus Savage has been moved to defensive tackle.
• Players not participating in A-Day include Aairon Savage, Gabe McKenzie, Zac Etheridge, and Eric Smith. Tommy Trott and Antoine Carter are questionable but doubtful. Mike Slade also has some sort of injury making the secondary even weaker. No word as to whether he is questionable for the A-Day game. Philip Pierre-Louis will have minimal playing time.
• Harry Adams reportedly had a good half scrimmage at receiver.
• Kodi Burns threw a touchdown pass to Derek Winter.
• It's late, I'm going to bed. I'll work on some more information tomorrow.
