The 'worst'


I wouldn't be shocked with probation, possibly lose a scholarship for a year or two and minor recruiting restrictions like off-campus visitation reduction

Just enough for the NCAA to claim they served justice, enough for AU to feel it is a nuisance but not enough to have a meaningful impact on outcome

vacating the wins where Wiley and Purifoy played last year and in that case who gives a frick? We all saw the games so we know who really won.


On average? Not Auburn

I heard one of the guys on wjox ask BP if he might be concerned about bringing Wiley back and hurt the chemistry of the team (this was while they were playing well and waiting on the ncaa decision). Pearl said, with Wiley, Auburn is a final 4 team--no questions asked. Before the season, Wimp said he would run the entire offense through Wiley if he had him. Wimp was very high on Wiley.

Pre-injury collapse? I don't think this is an absurd claim. Even if Wiley was just good, not great, the lineup combos/play style/matchups he'd provide would dramatically alter the game in AU's favor. AU also would not be exposed in the lenght/height department or foul trouble in the post

I would expect Austin Wiley to compete for POY next season and surprised if he wasn't 1st team All SEC. When I say I'm not as high on Wiley, I mean that I see some red flags/concers and recognize he wasn't dominant his FR year as hoped. I think he has a high floor, but I'm ont convinced he is a lock to be what some AU fans expect

Wiley has shown zero passing vision in the half court and his hands haven't been elite on entry passes.

Wiley has "run the offense through the post" potential, I just will have to see him prove it before I'd ever want it to happen

Collin’s brother posted a pic on twitter that said “He doesn’t know yet” and then quickly deleted it. OMG IF COLLIN COMES BACK

After his SEC/NCAAT performances, he is moving on some boards as high as #4. Not sure why he'd come back, you can't go much higher than that and the salary difference won't offset having 1 less year of salary in your career


Kid is fun to watch though, would be interesting to see him tear up CBB

Lol don’t think you’ll find anyone who would disagree with you

If he came back, it sure wouldn’t be to increase stock or make more money... which translates to, he’s not

I think Collin could get more consistent with his shot and slow down at times....but Id rather be getting paid to develop and learn that if I was him.

Collin will benefit from the four players he's playing with in the NBA being able to hit 15 footers, more space for him.

we didn't do that so well.

I personally think Collin is 100% gone. I don’t see why he would want to come back.....unless he wants to enter next year’s draft and make a run at being the #1 pick lol

When you realize that maybe he wore #2 because he wanted play college ball for two years.

Don't believe he will stay but his brother wouldn't bs with us , that's a stand-up family through and through. No logical reason for him to stay but I ll say this ...His mentality is way different than most his age and not common in this generation of millennials. The kid wants to be the absolute best and maybe on some level he feels there's some unfinished business. Either way he's done alot for this program and I ll always have him among my favorites to come through here.

Just for speculation, let's say Riley comes back, AJ Jr. stays on scholarship. Who do you want to transfer away? Who ends up transferring away?

I’ve felt all along like Key may transfer. He just never seems to be happy and doesn’t celebrate wins with his teammates as much as others. Maybe that’s just his personality....idk. Plus he wasn’t much help this year.

I thought it would be Key too but his quote after the last game made me think otherwise, said he was excited for next year.
