I wish we could sign Derrick Jones 
Forgot to mention JGT said we still are in great shape for Horace Spencer and expects a signed LOI.
He also dropped that he expects Auburn to try and sign a big man PF/C in this class.

I am happy to process several from this team, but is there a concern about our APR if we have too much turnover?

All depends. We should be fine assuming we don't have academic failures right now and the kids transfer not drop out.
I'll break down how APR works
APR is done on a semester basis and calculated based on a point system for each player.
Each player at the beginning of a semester has a total potential point value of 2. One point is for maintaining good grades, one point is for continuing towards their degree and staying in school.
**If a player is to leave school for non academic reasons (transfer/NBA etc), as long as they finish the academic year maintaining proper academic standing, they do not count against the school's APR.
If we process anyone, the key is that we find a landing spot and they maintain grades. If they do that, and our current roster meets grades we are fine.

How does it work with graduated seniors? What if they don't complete their masters?

If he was injured you couldn't tell by that dunking performance.
That three pointer off the backboard was cool.

I don't know. Trying to find out but getting nothing.
APR is based off scholarship players though. Since we have extra schollies for this year, I don't see why we didn't just put some All Academic team players on scholarship for this year only to help keep our APR flying high

Counting Atewe we are already 1 over next year assuming Spencer signs and everybody qualifies. I've also seen M Murphy post that Atewe's injury isn't career ending and if true he won't qualify for a medical hardship.

As long as he continues his education at someplace, does not negatively affect APR. In fact, it benefits Auburn for this year. Assuming Medical Hardship he stays At AU next fall and if he is academically eligible all year he gets 4/4 points.

I meant for the current roster right now (if I am counting right). I think we only have 12 scholarship players on the roster which is why i said we should just get some rhodes scholar to "walk on" for a year to help APR

Wiley is sick and won't make it but I feel good about our chances with him as long as the current staff stays intact.

I'll admit I don't know much about BBall recruiting but it seems like we need size.
Why do we only have one big man committed? Are we still looking for more guys in this class or are we done?

Jay Tate, had mentioned that he believes we take another big guy in 2015 class. That said, next year if Atewe is healthy we have two 7 ft guys, two PFs in Bowers + Spencer and a stretch 4 in Jordan Granger.
Add in that we add a 6'6 player in Danjel Purifoy at wing plus a 6'5 SG with TJ Dunans and we should be a fairley tall team
