re: Auburn @ Missouri GameThread

For all the nonsense about this being a flawed roster and you can't blame Steven do some of you realize this is most likely the most talented roster he will ever coach. Let that sink in for a minute. Also one of the biggest aspects of coaching at this level is getting players to play together. We don't on either end of the court nor do we consistently play with effort. I've been an Auburn basketball fan since before the Barkley days and will continue to be regardless of who is court side but if you can't see where this is all going I don't know what to tell you. The sooner we end this forced experiment the better.

We were throwing up bricks in Wednesday night away game.

So yeah we sucked…. But there are degrees of suckage and I’m not going to toss in the towel in quite yet. SP might still get more out of these boys than we’ve seen and not making the tournament doesn’t have to define his 30 year career before it’s hardly started.

Why are you so sure of that?

Middle of the pack NIL and a HC with no proof of concept to get the benefit of the doubt. I don't blame Steven for this mess but this never should have been his 1st HCing job and I don't believe he has what it takes to turn this around.

I just don't think this roster is littered with talent that commands high NIL $$$ other than Hall and Pettiford (who is proving he really should just be a piece on a good team, not a centerpiece). I think you could build a much better and attainable roster with the same budget.
