[quote]On another note, Okoro completely flipped this Cavs-Magic game 7 in shutting down Banchero[/quote]
He’s one of those guys that casual fans wonder why they stick around the league for so long. He’s a guy I could see a stronger team going after to be a role player....

[quote]Achor would be an insane pull. He’s very very good[/quote]
No doubt. He’s the automatic starter at the 4 and is versatile enough to play the 5, which would be needed if we actually ran a twin towers lineup....

Lock him down Bruce. Achor and a PG to give us a solid 10 mpg and this off season was a smashing success....

I think OU needed two guards anyway. My guess is he wants to know who the other guard is before he signs....

Hoke just made a post saying NIL was likely the driving factor. Said Auburn is about tapped out on NIL resources with the pieces they have.
Adds a little cause for concern on the remaining two spots....

Dang that sucks. Guessing they offered him the starting spot. Gotta regroup and find another. He was about the ideal guy....

Pinkston talked with someone who believes Auburn is the “clear frontrunner” for JuJu. Pinkston is still skeptical because he hasn’t really talked to the kid. Also was told if he flips, other kids will follow JuJu....

Brazile is a concern in the locker room. Achor Achor from Samford hit the portal tonight. That feels like a guy Bruce goes after. Wouldn’t be shocked if we did a little coercing after Godfrey went to uga....

I raced for a few years as well. You’ve gotta have a little craziness in you to do it at a high level and I didn’t have it. Ended up having to choose between it or traditional sports....

HS: football and baseball
College: Had a scholarship offer to a smaller school but decided to go to Auburn instead and enjoy a non-busy schedule. It was a late offer to kick and I had already mentally shifted to just being a student. Ended up just playing intramural football with a group of guys ...

Yeah he left today. Comments were as good as you could hope. Said it’s been a life long dream to play for Auburn. Loved the visit. Felt like home. Going back home to talk it over with his parents and likely makes a decision by the end of the week. Gotta feel good barring a big school swooping in and...

[quote]Making the kid wear "247 Transfer Portal" twitter handle on the practice jersey is fricked up. That's purely ostracizing and embarrassing the kid to his peers so that he will leave[/quote]

[quote]Just need some insurance at PF or center depending on what they sold Broome.[/quote]
I’m very curious about this. The fact they’re going hard after a 4 and nothing on a 5, makes me think the twin towers lineup is going to just be a rotational/situational piece. But if it’s a consistent lineu...

Definitely not. Wrightsell is definitely locked into the starting 2 spot. If Sears comes back then bama becomes a very good roster. If he’s gone they are very unproven. ...

The way Hoke has talked, it sounds like Miles is ours if we want him. Unless a big program decides to offer him the starting spot of course....

No way Philon starts over Aden. If Philon develops a consistent 3 ball he will be very good in that system, but that’s by far his worst trait. I guess the counter argument to Aden is his 3 ball was awful while being his best trait, but I have way more confidence in Aden finding his stroke that he lo...

Talk of Philon to bama. Don’t get that fit at all. I 100% understand Oats wanting Aden. He’s experienced and has potential to be a great 3 pt shooter. Philon on the other hand struggles from 3 and is more of a driving guard. If Sears goes pro I’m curious if Oats tries to grab another, veteran G....
