I forgot about Dunans but he feminds me of the guy that played for Bama in college from Childersburg. He could jump out the gym but couldn't shoot to save his life.


Gerald Wallace was his name.

He is definitely one of the more athletic guys on the team. He can jump out of the gym.


He could jump 60+inches and I would still call him unathletic since he doesn't move wall around the floor. He isn't quick and he fricking gallops when he runs

Seriously though, he doesn't pick up his feet and has like a 1 inch clearance from flat ground. I imagine walking up staircases is a bi*** for him

You missed a ton of players  

Jamison Brewer - 54 games 
Pat Burke - 127 games 
Bobby Cattage - 78 games 
Eddie Johnson - 675 games 
John Mengelt - 636 games 
Mike Mitchell - 759 games 
Chris Morris - 747 games 
Mamadou NDiaye - 69 games 
Stan Pietkiewicz - 96 games 

With a couple more that played less than 10 games



I was referring to former AU players who had an NBA career, not just making it to the NBA. Mike Mitchell was the one I couldn't think of. You could add Mitchell, Mengelt and E.Johnson to the list of Barkley, Chucky P, Wesley P, Morris and Daniels that actually had NBA careers.

Antoine Mason shot ~30% 3PT at Niagra. He shot 40% at Auburn. They have been working a ton with Dunans on his shot and he says it is what he wants to improve on most

Is the game Friday going to be on the SECN?


No. The 2nd exhibition game will be on the SECN. The only way to watch the 1st one is to be there.

Man that sucks. Would love to just see how the guys look out there. Tyler Harris & Kareem Canty got me excited about this season. I think for first time in forever we actually aren't going to be outsized everywhere on the court which will be really weird

Is there any chance the AD decides to live stream it in the next couple days?

Because it's an exhibition, I'm guessing we don't have to worry about who has rights to broadcast it etc.

I'm going to the concert at Ingram farm. GF's cousin is playing so I don't really have a choice.

Clown question bro. Halloween parties is the excuse that women need to go out and dress up like sluts. Game over

When you are married and not in college, that's a risky game my friend.

Damn. Since you are a married has-been like myself, the exhibition game is probably your best option.

MCT, rank the players on our team from most to least likely to have a NBA career.

I realize a guy like Granger probably isn't going to make it but humor me. Just interested in if my idea of guys talent ceilings isn't way off base



Probably best to "Ask The Black Guy" on this... jk

But here goes...


Purifoy
Spencer
Harris
Dunans
Lang
Canty
Williams
Brown
Bowers - I see NFL
Granger
Shamsid-Deen

This seems to be a really trendy transition lately for guys looking to play TE.

Bowers' hands aren't that great in the post though. Don't know how he'll do catching passes

He's quick and agile for his size...

3-4 DE or TE and he'd be rich.

He'd be a huge project at DE. He is big but not the level of muscle mass you'd want if you've seen him slimmed down. Would have to hit the PEDs pretty hard

TE makes more sense. DEs need to be nasty people and I don't know if Bowers has it in him to punish people's souls into the ground.
