All fair points.

Just to be clear, not calling for any of those 3 at this juncture. But if it becomes clear this season is a lost cause and I don't see more of them, I'll be extensively frustrated.

Blocker deserves and has earned more than 2 minutes. That's not debatable IMO.

At this point he should be getting Devo's minutes

Saw a film review on Rivals and he apparently got beaten 8 times off the dribble for layups yesterday? Not sure if its accurate but pretty shocking if true.

His published stat line is

Yeah according to Adam Ford, Devo has graded as our worst offensive and defensive player this season so far.

I never thought Mitchell was great but he definitely showed a few good moments last year that he just hasn’t been anywhere close to this year. He was top 10 in the SEC in blocks last season IIRC and now it seems like he just can’t guard anyone.

The regression on defense by him and Devo are both perplexing

Crazy the parallels between devo and KJ. 2 years ago everyone loved them because they saw the potential if they developed but instead of progressing forward both regressed.

I would say some of Devo's minutes. Remember he's a freshman with absolutely no SEC experience. He's been prone to some dumb turnovers as well.

Hopefully Devo will pull his head out of his arse and play experienced and smart basketball .

Auburn up to #16. Still crazy the quality of our losses.

Got to get some wins though just Duke won't do it.

Comparing a QB whose best win was a scrimmage vs a half opted out team, to a guy who's led us to 8 NCAA tournament wins.

Devo has accomplished unequivocally more than kj ever did I’m just saying there’s similarities. I also don’t think devo would ever leave for another university

That really is incredible because can be elite defensively.

Auburn looking very meh at home tonight vs A&M.

Up 3 with 2 minutes left, only scored 56.

They may be lucky they played this game at home, they shot their wad against us. But we didn’t offer much resistance in the second half though.

It seems they have a thing about Arkansas in football and basketball. Play their best against us then struggle. Kinda weird.

Muss said we had a great practice. Hope it translates to a much needed W.

They've had great practices all year long according to Muss.

They recently started using scholarship players instead of assistants and GAs on the scout team.

They don't go live in practice, it's just practice, we talking bout practice, not a game, practice.

So practices are more of a study session than actual just normal 5 on 5 play? What?
