I always watch to the end. Why do I always watch to the end?

Goodnight all.

People aren’t going to want to play for SP if this is the product. He was in charge of portal recruiting that put this product on the floor. .500 isn’t going to cut it

Worst team I've ever seen in an Auburn jersey. There have been years with worse records, but not sure there's ever been a worse group of players. Selfish lazy MFs. I'm not fully convinced Hall and Pett aren't throwing games.

I'm dead serious about this.. the season is over now. I'd rather bench of some of these cancers and play the walk ons. We're going to lose either way, but at least I wouldn't have to watch some miserable pathetic players cosplay as Auburn basketball.

Again, Shariffe year as an example. We were dreck that year and that was an all Bruce roster just like this one is.


That year was fluky as hell with COVID though. And that team had zero talent without Cooper.

The talent on this roster is much closer to Bruce's team in 22-23, just slightly less balanced. The difference is Steven looks to have lost the team and they seem to have quasi given up. That wouldn't have happened with Bruce.

Steven will get next year to recruit his own team fully, and we'll see what he's got as a coach. This team nosediving into the ground as the season has gone on is a really really bad reflection of his coaching ability though.

Butterfingers tonight. This group of guys are talented, but they aren't quite a team.

Just popped in to say Steven sucks. Bruce would’ve drug this team to 20 wins, kicking and screaming

JT Thor got some NBA minutes. Jaylin Williams was there but raw as all get out. Flanigan was there (streaky as we was and was literally running point for us at the end of the year). So was Dylan. It was a raw team.

This one is too but with far more portal misses.

Bruce quit. He gets no credit for your hypothetical. He set Auburn and his son up for failure this year.

I doubt that. The composition of the roster is the issue first and foremost.

Love Bruce but this roster is not good.

So tell us who put this team together and was responsible for recruiting the portal?

Yeah, that lineup without Cooper you just listed was about the equivalent of Freeman, Murphy, Jovic, and SWA this season. And this team has Overton, Hall, and Tahaad on top of that, it's not really remotely a comparison in terms of talent.
