So we at least get two new additions.

But don’t y’all think because Flanigan and Williams already thanked the Auburn family that they are probably gone?

I think WG/KD/Holloway/Westry/Donaldson has a chance to be a really good rotation at the 1 & 2. Hope Bruce will mix and match and move them around at each spot

Yeah there isn't any shame in a very mediocre team getting to the NCAAT and winning their first game and then losing to a #1.

There is shame in completely collapsing in the last 10, but we can't pretend that's off brand for this team.

I'm simultaneously proud that they at least got to this game, but really, really, ready to move on from this year.

This. Bruce needs to cut the dead weight loose.

I love both of them honestly. But we have got to get more guys that have a killer instinct and want to be that guy. Nobody on our team right now wants to be that guy. Sasser and 12 for them tonight were “that guy” and that’s the difference in basketball.

LOL Only Auburn sports can get me this worked up. I had us losing to Houston in my bracket and it’s obvious you can’t win in the tournament with poor guard play and bad FT shooting. Then they ball out like they did in the first half to give us hope. Totally expected us to lose, but somehow we do it in a way that is so frustrating.


Same here. Didn’t expect anything from this team in the tournament against Houston but we somehow find a way to look like a final four team the first half and same ol’ Auburn the second half.

We just need to make it til the next year when we actually have some talent at guard coming in.

As a reminder, Holloway is coming, Pettiford and Philon aren’t till 2024.

The problem with Moore leaving is that if he leaves after Jaylin and flanigan also leave we suddenly have basically nothing at the 3 and the 4 going into next year

If Jaylin and Flan are out then I’m still confident we can find someone better than CMo in the portal. At the very least he’s a guy you recruit over and make him make the decision.

Yeah for some reason I was thinking all 3 were 2024. Still going to need massive portal help for next season.

I see KD, Wendell and Flanigan also hesitating on their shots, mostly threes, and they mostly miss them.

I’m not sure he made one 3 when he hesitated or double pumped before shooting. He just lacks confidence when things get tight.

CMo can stay all day. He is extremely solid off the bench and a ton of energy!

We could be loaded next yr if some guys decide to continue playing. Flan and JWill aren’t ready

Probably yes. But I don't think they've been given any official draft projection yet

It’s freshman FYI. Gonna need to hit the portal hard. Based off guys that have already entered, it looks like Bruce is putting a lot of effort here.

They were both asked in interviews at the SEC tourney about returning, neither would provide a answer.

I still think they are gone imo but only they know.

Bruce and staff about to get busy in the portal though.

I get the vibe Flanigan is gone gone but Jaylin maybe not. I hope we try to portal over Jaylin regardless. Love the dude but he doesn’t have that dog in him like almost every one of our players has
