really like all the guys from last years team and hope they can get better this off-season and be a more complete, veteran squad next year. I would especially hate to lose Jaylin. We would still be lacking a true shooting threat though, unless our guards can really improve this off-season.


Agreed.

I can't see Kessler coming back. Maybe he does though. Guess it depends on draft grades?

That definitely appears to be where this is heading. Would be huge. That would honestly fill out the rotation for next year though, unless we lose somebody else that was playing this year (either Jaylin, Flanigan, or one of the guards). Think we could still possibly land Traore if he can play at the 4.

Speaking of Flanigan...I saw where his dad didn't get the Louisiana Tech job, so if he doesn't have any other irons in the fire, Wes will be back, and so might Allen.

If Allen does come back, he's got to get better offensively and find his game. Down the stretch I don't think it was his injury impeded him, but the loss of confidence really showed.
Pearl better bring in a quality 3 that can shoot, or we are going to be just as weak as this year in that spot.

As of today, it appears Walker Kessler will be back next year and with a huge NIL deal at Auburn. The poster, BruceBall, expressed that this is a fluid situation but that it looks good for Auburn right now and him returning wouldn’t affect the 5* LSU kid (can’t remember his name).

There is talk of Keon Ellis entering the transfer portal, leaving Alabama, and coming to Auburn…mutual interest, in other words.

The Stevenson kid is supposedly down to Auburn or WVU.

Stay tuned for more.

Pearl must really like the Stevenson kid toughness both of those guys are rotation players and non starters at Auburn nxt year if they do end up here assuming that Walker, Allen, & Jaylin stay.

Only 9 of those guys will get real rotation minutes more than likely, and a 10th could get a few minutes here and there situationally (that is where Chris Moore fell in the rotation last year). It’s tough to get anybody more talented than C-Mo or Stretch that deep in the rotation. If they do leave, it would not really open the door for anybody that actually wants significant playing minutes without others in the rotation leaving.

It’s got to be a tough balancing act to pursue all of these transfers and recruits, while guys decide whether to go or stay. Based on the numbers of guys we are currently said to be after, it will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

Depends on the position. There is plenty of playing time available at the 3. Flanigan is really the only one with experience there(Westry will play there some obviously, but he isn't the level of prospect that is going to stop someone transferring in).

Bruce knows we need shooters. I’m good with pushing some guys out for established 3pt guys.
