When did women volleyball start practicing at Auburn Arena? I’ve only known them to practice at the old SAC. This had to have started in the last couple years. The practice gym didn’t have volleyball net inserts in the floors nor did it have lines for volleyball

The only reasonable solution is to convert the indoor volleyball team into a beach volleyball team

3&4) Baffling that we need to redesign/fix tech that’s only a few years old, but should be doable by next year. Maybe we should get some Troy grads to figure it out. Their A/V program is highly regarded

I know a bit about the scoreboard. This is the result of being cheap in the beginning then a cheap band-aid fix

1) We Originally chose a shite, unimpressive scoreboard from a shite company. Hooks said company is now out of business

2) We built a second addtl scoreboard. You know how there is a top/bottom display on the scoreboard? Ya those are ENTIRELY SEPARATE scoreboards by 2 separate companies that operate on different systems.

The original one frequently crashes and reboots during games.

3) We added the ribbon. While cool AF addition, yet a 3rd system to control independent of primary scoreboard


Regarding sound, we had shitty AF speakers in football for years. You think they were putting good speakers in for basketball in the Lebo era?

2) Do we build a basketball only practice facility somewhere?

Why don't we just kick everyone but mbb sports out?

Just looked at some quick highlights. I want him

For a guy his size, he looks really smooth moving on the court. He also is a sparkplug. Seems to be a rim running lob guy right now.

The AU 2020 class will be #1 in the nation.....you heard it here first. WDE

Yeah I’m starting to wonder about him. Sounding a little fanboyish. I’d think someone of his experience knows a thing or two about not writing checks that he can’t possibly cash. Love his enthusiasm but we would have to win battles with Cooper, Boston, Greg Brown, and Stone to be in the running for #1 at a minimum. And that’s assuming Cooper doesn’t reclass. And with all the talk about him possibly reclassifying, all the beat writers are still talking as if he’s a 2020 guy.

I mentioned that a handful of posts up.

The class of 2020 is a bit short for high-major talent in the frontcourt which should only push Rongie Gordon’s name higher up within power conference recruiting boards in the nearby future. While he is a bit undersized at the power forward spot, Gordon doesn’t lack for instincts, a motor, the ability score inside and out, and defensive versatility. It was all on tap Friday evening as the three-star forward finished with a complete stat line of 22 points and five rebounds. He has been close to inclusion within the Rivals150 over the past few updates but his night session in Chicago was enough to put him over the top for when it comes time to update the 2020 rankings.

On the recruiting front, things are beginning to pick up for Gordon as Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech and UAB are among those that have already offered. However, Gordon told Rivals.com that Auburn is the program that might be the school to beat as he has made a number of visits to the SEC program’s campus over the months. If that is the case, Auburn fans should imagine the next Anfernee McLemore in tow which means a solid two-way threat that should make for a positive impact each time he hits the floor.

He's real stiff like Nick Ward. Slow to get off the ground, not Wiley slow but not Zion fast. I'd like to see how his touch is around the rim. He could be a beast with more weight on him.
