I really wish we got a big midyear transfer. Having a mandatory redshirt "year" would give them time to develop then contribute next SEC slate.

Look y Craig Victor at LSU. Garbage at Arizona wouldn't crack lineup. Year to develop and learn and he is 13 ppg 8 RPG and opens up game for Simmons

Not right now. They have others higher.

That will make 13 schollied players on roster & leave no spots left unless we take Waddell off scholly. I hope I'm wrong but I think TSD is done & we get a big to replace him.


Waddell has already or will graduate this spring. He has a year of eligibility left but last I heard he wasn't planning on using it.

Isn't New Williams supposed to be a future PG?


Eventually yes but I don;t see him ready to play there yet. We also want to play Canty off the ball a lot more next season which is another reason I think we look at a JC or GT point guard if Tahj can't go. Ideally we need and want to have 5 bodies for the 4 and 5 but with the way the roster is now that might not happen.

This just seems weird to me. He shoots off the bounce not really a spot up shooter. He also isn't a great defender.

Is Harper going to come in ready to play? If Williams is the #3 option at PG, I don't see that being a huge liability.

If we don't get Azabukie, we'd have room for GT/JUCO 4/5 & PG wouldn't we?

I'm hoping we get a grad transfer big if we don't get Azubuike. Next years class has 3 bigs we could possibly get. Might as well have some room for them.

I think Bruce has striaght up said we will look for a GT Big guy. We don't have much of a choice giving our situation


If Trayvon Reed comes back, I think he has a chance to be a solid contributor (mostly defensively). His issues were being completely lost + raw. As a midyear addition to the team and more time to develop, I think he should be a solid body. Athletically he is off the charts

I do not keep up too much, but didn't he get in trouble for fighting?

I thought he was the one who got into with Williams?

I don't remember reading Reed's name w/ that stuff. I remember reading Dampeer fought w/ him & per JGT apparently Canty clocked Duke's arse.

Almost everyone thought it was TReed not Canty who had the altercation with Duke


ETA: I mean message board rumors were TReed and why he got sent home since Football > Basketball & TReed has a history

Yeah. I just don't remember if JGT said anything about Reed. I remember well though him basically saying Canty beat Duke's arse. What stands out to me in 1 of his posts he said Harlem 1 Nola 0.

Duke is a big dude, I'm surprise Canty was able to take him. He does seem scrappy though

TSD update from BMatt

His shoulder injuries are genetic. Latest surgery by Doc Andrews was to tighten the right 1. If it does not work TSD will have to give up Bball.

Is there some way he will be able to stay on scholarship yet allow the team to add an additional player to replace him?

With Reed back on the team AU has one spot left to fill in the 16' class and it will be a big.

Pearl is looking at some high school kids as well as jucos and grad transfers.

Some names to watch

3* Bruno Fernando 6'10 225 - Has grade issues
3* Nick Rakocevic 6'10 210
Unranked Yuat Alok 6'11 200

I've seen this posted a few times and I'm curious as to where this coming from?

He is the nephew of former AU LB Quinton Reese and been coming to Auburn games since he was a little kid. I've been led to believe we are in good shape for him.
