re: 2017 Basketball recruiting and offseason news thread

Nevermind. Just had something in there it couldn't post. I was about to say... Regardless those dislikes accumulated pretty damn quick for an Auburn-related basketball thread. I think I struck a nerve.

How the frick do they have the #1 class? I don't care if Phil Jackson is recruiting for them, that place is a black hole for talented players and coaches in basketball. They haven't done shite since Barkleys days there. I guess they have cranked up the money machine again and are cheating their asses off. It always seems to come easy for the basketball coach.

Here's how they have the #1 class. I just looked at the class rankings and only 29 other teams have at least one 4-star or higher player. Every other team has either a 3-star or no players. There's probably only about 50 total teams with a commit. There's like 300+ CBB teams. It's still way too early for them to be bragging. They'll be a top 25 class when everything's said and done, but there's no chance they'll be #1. I have a really good feeling Alabama will have a higher ranked class in the en

Auburn also leads the crystal ball for Jamal Johnson, a teammate of Austin Wiley who they already have. Johnson is a three or four star player, depending on which site you prefer. Like it or not, Auburn Is going to have a top 10 class, probably even top seven or eight if they get Johnson.

Alabama has the potential to have a great class too, but auburns is pretty much a slamdunk. I really hope Avery nails this thing down, because I'm getting a little less and less confident as the days go by with no commits. We are sleeping on Herb Jones, there is UAB talk now with Alex Reese, Collin Sexton is blowing up, you never know what he will do, and John Petty was always a pipe dream, although we have the last two crystal balls, it would still be a miracle if he came here. At this point right now, I could literally see us in the top 10, or not even in the top 50. I just have no idea what's going to happen in the next few months, but I am buckled up!

John Petty is no miracle. He is just like any kid from here that grew up liking Bama. They want to help turn it around.

Regardless, Bruce has done a good job at convincing good players to give Auburn a shot.

Without a doubt. I don't think anyone should care where they end up ranking wise, just as long as they get the quality players.

Non-conference schedule gonna be announced tomorrow!

DONT FORGET: Tomorrow at 4 CT Alabama will reveal the non-conference schedule live on rolltide.com.

Troy Brown posted on Twitter he will cut his list down on July 28th

We are making a lot of lists, I just hope we don't finish as a hat on the table for the guys we want.

Jerry Meyer hinting to Bama fans that the blueblood latecomers recruiting Collin Sexton will be bigger factors than previously indicated.
