It's wild because he was one of the few guys I liked all year. Felt he consistently brought positive energy & leadership, always brought effort even if he was a bit underwhelming defensively.

How you finish things really matters.

True. I am not fully sold Pettiford can be your true 1 if you are a good team though.

You could maybe make it work if you had some kind of point forward type you could run the offense through, I just don't see us having that sort of comeuppance in the portal.

I can guarantee you Noah Williamson will land at Bama and that he will be extremely underwhelming. Willing to bet my life on it.

“We’re excited to welcome Narcisse Ngoy to our program. He’s a high-upside young man who brings toughness, physicality, and a team-first mindset to everything he does.

Narcisse has a strong feel for the game on both ends of the floor. His instincts, ability to catch and finish around the basket, rim protection, and willingness to embrace contact will make him an immediate impact while filling a huge need for our team.

What stands out most is his commitment to winning. He’s not focused on individual numbers—he takes pride in doing the hard, physical work that helps his team succeed. He competes at a high level, processes the game well, and understands how to play within a system.

Off the court, Narcisse lives a disciplined lifestyle and has shown he thrives in a structured, demanding environment. He’s highly coachable, responds well to being pushed, and is strong in his faith. As he grows into his full potential, we believe his ceiling is extremely high.

Narcisse is a humble, driven young man with tremendous upside, and we’re excited to help him develop both on and off the floor here at Auburn.”

I'm gonna go with Pat Dye easily. Tubs and Gus are close but I'd lean Tubs. I do love Gus though.

Is it? Several high profile coaches have retired in the last 3-4 years for that reason. Sure it got exhausting for the old school guys especially.

Donaldson appears out of eligibility but man I love how he evolved

Not sure I wouldn’t mind him being the PR this season. We need someone that just catches the frickin ball there anything else is a benefit

We had a stretch in the late Tuberville years where we couldn't field a punt to save our lives.

It had been a solid run in that department until Freeze reopened those wounds.

Really hoping to get down there for a series this year

With the exception of UGA the SEC has been very impressive.

The SEC wasn't all that great in non-conference play this year (compared to last year) but I think that was more to do with timing than anything. Most of the elite teams from last season replaced most of their rotation and it likely took a while for them to gel.

And some of us never gelled..
