Look for a top recruit to say yes to AU in the next period of time

Hmmmm


Lol.

But if anyone at all was going to know, it'd be Hooks. Dude is about as well connected as anyone, in regards to AU Basketball.

Given his vocal support of Bruce from day 1 of the scandal, the staff is likely going to be even more welcoming


Hooks is almost for sure the most heavily invested (emotionally) major $ donor for basketball. Most of the other donors of that level aren't as big basketball fans

Surprising, but probably shouldn't have been. He was about to be the victim of our playing time crunch at guard

About half of Mitchell's minutes came at SG this past season as Brown's backup. With Brown/Doughty and possible Heron getting minutes at the 2 next season, Mitchell was about to see a reduction in playing time

The situation likely doesn't improve his JR year as then it would be Harpers SR season and we have Doughty plus recruits for SG/SF

Who’s the backup PG?... can doughty handle?

Keeping Harper healthy is always a concern, given his size.

So some twitter user Mike Marshall tweets out a false fact, I call him out for it and he blocks me

Reporters on twitter are so thinned skin. JGT blocked me awhile back too... which is weird because I don't think I have ever tweeted at him

I'm also blocked by Tate because I called him out for a dumb Cim Bowers take like three years ago.

Marshall is one of those self-important ones that walks around the arena and Jordan-Hare like he IS the show.

Villanova looked great last night. They looked a lot like Auburn when we were actually good.

I thought the exact same thing watching the West Virginia game. Everyone in the court would make the extra pass and hit open 3's.

No, he's testing the draft process without hiring an agent meaning he keeps his eligibility.

You live in half truths, don't you?

I don’t think there is anything to make of this as long as they don’t ruin their eligibility. Bryce and Wiley might as well test the draft, too.



If Harper gets bad info on top of Mitchell transferring, that’s when we are fricked.
