New proposed rule would get rid of most of the Euro guys that have played professionally. I personally like the rule but it's a little late to implement it for next season
That USC team was really good so I'm not sure we would have won but we wouldn't have been embarrassed like a certain team

Rumor was that he was fighting some mental health issues IIRC.


Thought it was diabetes but my memory sucks these days
The plan was to play a more offensive high tempo style but Bashir being a bust and Magwood's struggles adjusting to playing pg and his off court issues made that impossible.
CC said Durkin went and evaluated him in person last week.
Good luck with that. He can call plays but Lane is petty as frick. Freeze took his OC 2 years ago and he's probably still tweeting about it.
Along the same lines I wonder what Auburns team era would be if they didn't play on a field with a short porch. Going to be an interesting matchup next weekend

How do we need to finish to get a national seed?

I have and it's not bad if you get there early. Bring some lawn chairs and pick a spot where no one can squeeze in front of you
Jaylon Moore just announced his commit so that ends the speculation
Clemente says to keep an eye on this one for a potential next commit. 3 star but he's an IOL with a solid offer list

Mantas will be an immediate starter at the 3. Like I said earlier in the thread he will be our best player if/when he signs


Starter probably but I'd tap the breaks on the best player stuff. He wasn't a starter on his team. Granted that team probably beats all but a handful of teams in the NCAA but still that's a big leap imo. The safe bet is this will be Tahaad and Overton's team and the rest of the roster are complimentary pieces.
Waiting for word on his eligibility from the NC2A is what I've heard
I need to watch some of his tapes. I was under the impression he was athletic but primarily a catch and shoot guy who can get some points off offensive rebounds. Could be that's what he was asked to do at Troy though
Now we need another wing. Preferably one who has the ability to attack the basket. We have a lot of shooters but Tahaad and Kimble are the only two true downhill types on the roster. I haven't seen him play but reportedly that's in the praying Mantas's toolkit so sign him up and lets roll

Still not ready to get fully on board the Steven Pearl train but I will start spelling his name right again and am fairly impressed with the roster construction for next season
That's big. He can play both guard spots and allows Tahaad to slide over to the 2 at times to help his scoring if he's in a funk

Good Riddance


With the way rosters are year to year now I believe we upgraded for next year trading him for Dowd but SWA has a much higher ceiling and could break out his Jr year if he puts in the work. He would be a nice piece to build around
Agree on Dowd. this is from a tweet from J Ferguson


Scouting report on Auburn-bound Thomas Dowd from a coach:

Strengths: “Best player in the league by far, elite above the rim athlete. Plays wing spot, small ball four. Defends, can switch. High level in transition. Good shooter. 3 level scorer, finisher. Elite rebounder, competitive, plays extremely hard.”

Weaknesses: “Post moves. Needs to improve passing. Has trouble guarding on the perimeter off the bounce 1-3.”
