I haven't looked back to see if it was mentioned but Jovic injured his knee in the 1st half and wasn't even on the bench in the 2nd. no word on the severity yet but it feels like bad news is coming
And blindly assuming the roster will be better next season. Good bigs and guards aren't going to be lining up to play for SP.
Jovic does play with a lot of effort so point taken but Broome also has a bit of length on Jovic that makes a lot of difference. Being left handed and possessing impeccable timing for blocking shots didn't hurt either
Didn't we recruit him out of HS? That names sounds hella familiar

Effort is only a part of it.


Effort is what made those guys you listed good defenders. Tahaad and Overton are more athletic than Bryce Brown and Zep Jasper. What made those two elite defenders is that they wanted to defend. That's effort.
We are not well coached. Maybe he grows into the job but I have a feeling this is going to be a long two years. Defense is all about effort and want to something that we are severely lacking along with any cohesion or semblance of a style. People can say what they want about the roster but this is a different team with Bruce on the sidelines
You can't blame this shite show on a cheap roster. We have more talent than A&M. They just outworked us at home
We are soft. That's coaching. No hiding from it.

you know we really did this guy a solid to save his redshirt and he up and leaves us like that


He would still be here if Golesh wanted him here. He was not a priority retention

I wonder what Byrum Brown is up to?


Negotiating is what NKing posted. You'd think hope these things were already wrapped up but Brown has some leverage if he wants a bigger deal

I downvote out of general principalities just for mentioning them including myself for quoting you in this tweet
It's the lack of intensity that bothers me. We've had teams with less talent and less size but they would fight you for every rebound and loose ball. Bruce's teams would literally run through a brick wall and I haven't seen any of that mentality this season.
I didn't like how this all went down. Bruce retiring the way he did forced Steven into the position. I get that this is a flawed roster but Steven was part of the team that put it together so he's not without blame. We don't play with anywhere near the same intensity that we have in the past. He's not on the hot seat by any stretch but if the roster doesn't get straightened out in the off season I personally don't think he should be promised a year 3 without clear signs of improvement
I haven't heard any names other than the G league big from Egypt we were looking at earlier but I'm pretty sure he's signed somewhere by now.
I still think we work our way into a 7-10 seed but I'd be lying if i said i didn't have some doubts. This team has no identity on either end of the court.
Doesn't help that we awarded two walk-ons the last 2 scholarships so anyone we could find to bring in would have to pay their own way with NIL until next fall
Not that I know of. Maybe some lower rated or JC guys but the top 150 are pretty much accounted for. It's going to be a heavy portal class this year imo

He dropped us when Bruce retired. I've seen him play in person when he was a So and he impressed me more than Philon did as a Sr. I'd love to have him in O&B but it's a pipe dream at this point.
Cobb was injured and if we had any depth wouldn't have been playing in the iron bowl. If you want to put that on nix then you do you. Still hope he sucks a fat one at bama
Found this little factoid from N King to be encouraging

quote:

Auburn's first-year coaching staff under Alex Golesh will have 51 seasons of combined experienced in the SEC, including 15 combined years as coordinators.


Also while not in the SEC around 10 years of HCing experience and that doesn't include Golesh. Impressive start. I am cautiously optimistic
