Alabama's Nick Saban has suspended a pair of players at positions where the Crimson Tide needs help next season.

Redshirt freshman receiver Keiwone Malone and sophomore defensive end Darrington Sentimore have been indefinitely suspended for an unspecified violation of team rules. Also, Saban announced that senior defensive back Robby Green would not return this fall after missing the entire 2010 season because of an NCAA-mandated suspension.

Green's dismissal is not a surprise. He was all but done after Saban suspended him this past spring. Sentimore was competing for a starting job at one of the end spots on defense and had shown some signs of being an effective pass-rusher in the spring. Malone was one of two redshirt freshmen (DeAndrew White being the other) that the Crimson Tide were hoping could help fill the void at receiver with the early departure of Julio Jones to the NFL.

Green is the sixth player to leave the football program since the end of the 2010 season, joining running back Corey Grant, running back Demetrius Goode, defensive end Glenn Harbin, cornerback B.J. Scott and linebacker Petey Smith. In addition, defensive lineman Kerry Murphy is expected to go on medical scholarship because of recurring knee problems, which would end his playing career at Alabama.

As much as I despise Bama I like the way Saban runs a program. That guy is all business.

No, I think these guys will not be back on the team. Lets look at the facts before we start praising Saban for being such a "disciplinarian." He needed to find about 11 roster spots for the last signing class. Knuckleheads like these players makes it easier on him and makes him look good at the same time. I highly doubt he would be this tough on a Richardson, Barron, Simms, etc. Not saying those kids are bad kids, just making a point. Unless you're a diehard Bama fan, you probably hadn't even heard of these kids.

Until there is a situation in which this has come up, I dont see how you can say that he wouldnt. I am unaware of Saban letting a player slide who was a top performer.

Does anybody know what they did or how severe it was. Suspended indefinitely just means that no number has been attached. It doesn't even mean they did something to deserve a whole year suspension.

Malone is a high school All-Star from Memphis. You may want to temper all thoughts on who would be clueless on these high school blue chips. Either that or calling yourself "georgia insider," simply denotes you don't get out much.

I didn't say anything about HS. Where do you think these kids would be on the depth chart and how many spots have to be cleared in the summer? You're a Bama fan, you're supposed to know all about your boys.

Given what I've read from you, dismissing your silliness as worthless banter is absolutely the right tack, but sharpen that toothbrush and you'll get somewhere someday.

I think Sentimore would be a potential starter, at the least would see significant playing time in critical circumstances. Malone has every opportunity to succeed at wide receiver.

By the way, being suspended, does not mean they've been cut loose. They are still on the team. Your assessment of coach Saban's intentions, based on what has happened, is ridicules. He has every right to discipline any player, anytime he so chooses.
