Gotta build a foundation. Especially at Auburn. On its face, 4 stars are better at program building. We need guys who will stay 3-4 years and get better every year.

It was easy to get discouraged this year with all the undeveloped talent. Let's see which guys get better this offseason. Decision making, strength, and shooting can all drastically improve.

Who do you think takes a big step next year?

Spencer is my pick to click. Also, I think Heron starts to figure out his game. He can be special.

Spencer isn't nearly as well rounded as McLemore in my opinion and he's a year older too. So give me McLemore as the big developer down low.

Heron has his offensive game figured out. He just has to develop defensively

If there was one aspect of the program that brought a smile to my face this year, it was Anfernee McLemore.

I feel like Spencer's shoulder injury will really limit his development too. Hard to work/improve on his offensive game when he can't move his arm well

He's better defensively and has the explosiveness to put up a Chris Porter-lite season.

He's not the most likely to put it together, but if he does his ceiling is huge

Sometimes sitting and watching can help you recognize mistakes. His decision making could use a lot of work

Moe Wagner is killing it for Michigan, really wish we would go to Europe to get a stretch forward in the mold of Wagner, Porzingis, Etc.

Hell, go get another Ethan Happ. His presence on the court alone turned Nova into two different teams offensively.

I'm seeing a lot of basketball transfer announcements lately. Is Auburn interested in getting one or more?

I would love for Wesley Person Jr. to be an Auburn Tiger but not sure how realistic that is..

We have 3 spots available next season but our team is extremely young and seemingly solid at each position. With EJ Montgomery and others in the 2018 class, spots will get tight.

I don't see us signing a normal transfer because spots will be limited by the time they would be able to play and we won't need immediate experience by that point.

And if we sign a GT, he'll have to be extremely solid to get any playing time with this group. I could see us possibly signing a big body and/or a Combo Guard.

The prospect of signing a project from overseas is being explored, but I'd rather have a great 2018 class and establish depth for years.

It has to be Heron and Wiley.. I think we saw glimpses of what they will be.

Can I get a frick Barbee for old times sake? Kid was too small to play at this level (bottom 4 SEC level). We didn't need anyone with his family basketball pedigree. Frick Barbee.
