Bowers 20/18 night was the first time an AU player had done that in 16 years

Wrong players to rotate. Either Spencer or Wiley would come off the bench and Purifoy would play the 4


That is assuming Purifoy doesn't go pro like some think he has potential to do

I don't know about Purifoy having a chance with Heron and Canty demanding the ball early next season. 2017 all depends on Dunans getting an extra year, which Pearl didn't expect, and how good the rotations play together. Ideally, Purifoy needs to play Dunan's position opposite Heron because of his ability to drive. They and Heron could all 3 be junkyard dogs on defense by then and force Wiley or Spencer to sit. I can't wrap my head around our rotations in 2017. Our future point guards must be happy.

I guess when recruiting now, we can't really use the 'playing time' card anymore. I'd say it's a good problem to have haha.

Heron won't start at SG until he improves his 3pt shooting. He shoots around 25% 3PT. There is a reason that nearly every site says he is unlikely to be a 1 and done. He is the rawest of 5*s


It isn't like we have a glaring hole at SG and need help. We have Dunans, Brown and Williams/Lang?

Having Dunans off the bench in 17/18 (knowing how to run Pearl's system like the back of his hand) with Spencer, Purifoy, Heron, and Wiley in the starting lineup? Yes, please.

2) I imagine Dunans starts 17/18. Seniority and his skills are missing from our best talent lineup.


Someone has to run the point.

We have Harper and 247 5* combo guard. New Williams also is supposed to be a PG as well

We will have 9-10 players averaging 15-20+ minutes. We will always use the playing time card

Once we start pressing as much as Pearl wants to, I can imagine there will be a ton of substitutions/ playing time.

Just a heads up:

I have noted that the game is on the SEC Network at 8:00 Eastern, so I am avoiding that channel at all cost.

I will check in later for the results.

As always, you're welcome.
