Mustapha Heron, Auburn Tigers, 25th in ESPN 100: There aren't likely to be 24 better college freshman next season than this five-star prospect. Why? He's expected to start, play heavy minutes and be a main tenant of the offense right away. He already has a college-ready body, so his physical transition will be easier than most. Most freshmen lose minutes because they can't keep up defensively, but that won't be an issue for Heron.

Let's hope he isn't 1 and done. We need at least a couple of years to build around him.

We got some Elite guys coming in right after him too if I'm not mistaken

Austin Wiley is actually rated a little higher than Heron

Whatever happened to Langford? Am I completely off or was he committed to us?

he REALLY could be a 1-and-Done kid

He is a 6'4 wing player who currently is a below average shooter and not an elite ball handler by NBA standards. Unless some absurd level of development occurs, hard to see him as a 1 and done. Especially given that Purifoy is likely "the guy" next year

I think Heron is going to tear it up, I just don't see him jumping if he is fringe 1st RD and he doesn't have the measurables to lock in a lotto pick without just stupid numbers

Joshua Langford was interested but never committed to AU. He signed with Michigan State

He's 6'5 210 and an phenomenal slasher with a great first step. The potential is there and he's a good defender.

Justice Winslow and Stanley Johnson are the same type player, Heron is actually WAAAAY better offensively than those 2.
