Dunks, 3s and shot blocks. If our alley oop to margin of defeat ratio >1, I don't even care if we lose. I just want to see the And 1 Mixtape tour basketball if we aren't going to win

Truth. If your team is athletic enough for that, you'll start getting your wins and the players will have fun playing, regardless

Nearly every advanced statistic supports a 3point shooting, dunking team. They are high efficiency attempts and improve your points per possession

It's nice that practice is getting underway right as our football team is shitting the bed.

Purifoy is in school and practicing with the team, but is still waiting to be ruled eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse.


What's the deal here? It's October, the kid is in school, how could it possibly take so long to look at his transcripts and give word one way or the other?

NCAA clearinghouse goes at their own pace, Purifoy was a transfer to Hargrave so they have to track everything down, they will double check everything Bruce Caboose does cause they don't like him

Damn I love Bruce!

Just by hearing him speak, you can get a sense of how intelligent he is, and it's not just basketball intelligence. I hate to say it, but Nick Saban has the same vibe...he's just a little more aggressive with his tone and attitude.

I wish we had a football coach and AD who could do the same.

Someone claims to have gone to practice on the bunker here are the highlights of what he claims

-New Williams looks healthy and dunking all over
-Canty isn't a ball hog and dishing it out
-Tyler Harris most impressive - Posts up and hits 3s
-Harris is legit 6'9
-Horace Spencer is great at rebounding/blocking shots
-Bryce Brown is a great 3 point shooter
-TJ Lang has found his 3pt touch and knocking them down
-Purifoy looks amazing but still sitting out NCAA
-Dunans extremely athletic below avg shooter


Starters during practice as of right now
PG- Canty
SG- Lang
SF- Harris
PF- Spencer
C - Bowers

About Canty, the hype in the basketball side of the AD is real. Guy I know who works on basketball has been telling me since game 1 of 2014 season that Canty is the best player on Auburn's campus

You could watch him at Marshall and know that.

He's lost 35 pounds and will be a beast for this year. Last year he looked chubby and got tired easy, right now he looks ripped and in shape. Bowers and Spencer will be a force in the paint.

I'm highlighting that he's still playing out of position

Who else are we going to play there? He's got a center's skill set, he's just short for one. Barkley played C a lot AU.

We want to press so I don't think Bowers playing C is a big deal. He is serviceable in half court D and we can double elite Cs with Spencer/Harris now

Losing 30+ pounds is the worrisome part about Bowers playing C to me. I like the improved athleticism aspect but it isn't enough to be a very undersized C
