Roster

Schedule

We should have more depth this year. Hopefully the Mustapha Heron kid is as good as advertised.

Should be much improved this year. From what I've seen, Bryce Brown had a good summer and getting Purifoy and the freshmen will be huge. Hope Wiley can play in January.

I think we're all anxious to see the team play at this point. I just hope there's no drama this season like that one guy caused last season.

Have they started practicing yet, or do they still have a couple of weeks?

Really think we can be a tourney team this year. If not in NCAA at least a top seed NIT.

Bruce Pearl agrees. There was an interview this summer where he said we have as much talent as any of his Tennessee teams (was kind of unclear if he was including Wiley who may enroll in January or the 2017 class). He also said that not only is the postseason realistic now that we talent AND depth, but that it should be expected from now on.


I was in 6th grade the last time Auburn made the NCAA tournament in 2003. The season hasn't even started and this is the most excitement I've had for AU basketball since Carmelo Anthony crushed my 11 yr old dreams.
