Ultimately I fault it on having no true one. Tahaad can’t be that. He’s an off guard by nature and can’t run the O.
Magwood was a miss.

Just for shits and giggles KenPom has us at 40.
Hard to believe after the past 10 games or so we still are a top 40ish team. I can remember seasons where we’re like 150 in RPI lol sitting about 4-12 in conference

Find another person who wants to talk discipline or Bruce love affair then weirdo.
Yall aint talking basketballl.
Auburn used to steal points on defense. Now we are the polar opposite: giving up freebies on cheap baseline entry passes. Cant even press the guards into dribbling in full court press.

press.
Could have just said no. Didn’t need a word salad.

Nobody cares about Ken Pom. It's a dumb lagging indicator that is apparently tracking some zombie Auburn team.

I am guessing you didnt play in college either.
I did play in high school not that that even matters to the conversation

What was your motion offense called little Ben?

This was our biggest issue, followed by a lack of three point shooting at the 1 and 2 positions in general. When you can't shoot 3s with your guards and they also suck defensively you are going to have a hard time. Combine that with Murphy being a completely average starting center with no backup at all and it's a bad combo.
I'll second Corch in that Overton surprised me some games playing much better offensively than I expected, but he was tremendously worse defensively than I expected. The combo of him, Hall, and Tahaad was just awful defensively. Once they started to show weak effort defensively it was game over.

The extent of my college level play was soccer lol.
But you’re the laziest piece of shite with an unwarranted superiority complex I had to weigh in

The issue to me is that is the sort of thing coaches rarely come back from overall
Luckily most of the players on the court will be gone and we can reload once again.
Hall and Murphy gone for sure. Magwood gone I would expect.
Pettiford either takes a massive pay cut to get more players or is asked to leave.
Overton possibly stays. I’d put it at 50/50
Freeman and Jovic probably stays. Gotta find a way to move Jovic to backup SWA. He needs to be a 3 but can’t shoot so probably the best hope is a post up 4. If he continues to improve his feet on defense he could cover the 3 on defense. Still a project 4 year type player. Freeman and SWA will make jumps after a full season. They are solid players but need to be more physical around the rim scoring.
So like I said luckily we are in rebuild mode again.

I don't think anyone respects Pearl. Nobody will enter the school respecting him, they will see him as a soft nepobaby.

Dont think "soft" is relevant. People will see him only one way and that's getting the job because of his dad.
And first impressions are hard to break.

Agreed. We should be solid at the 4 with SWA starting and Jovic as backup. Freeman should be solid as the starting 3 in year 2 (and hopefully he makes a jump in 3 point shooting next year). Overton is good as 6th man if he comes back. Maybe Tahaad comes back, but I can't see it.
Gotta find some good talent at the 1 and 2 that can shoot threes, and two good bigs. Gonna be tough to pull in 5 elite transfers.
Best scenario at the 5 would have been a top notch transfer for starter and a good recruit 5 for backup (similar to SWA at the 4 this year). But our high school recruiting seems to be non-existent, which I don't think is feasible long term. We aren't going to outspend people for 6-7 transfer players every year.

You literally profiled my athletic prowess against what "players say" and then got your precious feelings hurt again
Tell me to diaf and leave Jesus out of it.
