I’m still pumped for the upcoming basketball season, but Tuesday really hit me in the gut. Reports earlier in the day has  Alabama Guard Nimari Burnett with an injured knee, likely costing him the season. Later, Auburn confirmed Guard Allen Flannigan had a procedure on his achilles that will sideline him 12 to 14 weeks. Two pieces that could make really good rosters elite. Rehab is a lonely place. Good thoughts and speedy recoveries men.
