Thanks. I wonder if the Sharife connection puts us ahead of WVU.

Based off some IG stories from Coach Steven Pearl and Bryce, it looks like Jared, Chuma, and Bryce were back in Auburn today working out with the team.

FROM WIKI

these contracts are not offered to every aspiring NBA player, but only to undrafted players whom a team would like to keep "on retainer" without having to sign to a full-time contract. Each NBA team can have up to two two-way contract players per season, and are typically considered to be "16th and 17th men" on a roster.[5] Excluding time spent before and after the G League's season begins and ends, players on two-way contracts can spend up to 45 days in the NBA while spending the rest of the season in the G League.[6][7] As of the 2017–18 season, players earn $75,000 while they are in the G League and roughly $204,000 if they spend the maximum 45 days on an NBA roster. The two-way contract system benefits young undrafted players who do not want to play professional basketball overseas, as well as those who believe an organizational investment in them is beneficial to their development. Some player agents are concerned about this system, because in exchange for guaranteed employment at a higher salary than a typical G League player, two-way players give up the freedom to be called up from the G League by any NBA team, possibly one with intent to sign the player to a 10-day contract, which could eventually lead to a full-time NBA roster spot sooner than with a two-way contract.[7]

There’s a number of ways players on that contract make more. So he could make up to 500K or whatever depending on days on the NBA roster, etc. But a lot of kids would take 77K in their first job out of college. Happy for him

Giving myself credit for calling that a few post ago lol.. Now just need Bryce to sign that G league contract and to figure out what happens with Malik.


I also said I would have some Peach Jam clips to show (mostly Twitter but the last 2 are YT). I'm late, but here they are:

Cooper 3pt to end the half
Alternate angle of Cooper 3pt
Some plays from AOT
Cooper controlling the game
Brandon Boston scoring on the break
Cooper finishing inside
Brandon Boston plays.
AOT vs Boo Williams highlights. Many people said it was one of the best games ever at the event. (Mostly focused on Cooper and Zion Harmon)
11 min phone interview with AOT asst coach. Talks a lot about Cooper and his preparation.

It's being discussed on the Rant, so might as well include it here. Auburn has sent a victim impact statement to the court dealing with the Chuck Person case.

The victims impact statement from Persons trial... Wiley got $800... Purifoy $1,250... States we expect a notice of infractions.

4 In total, Person ultimately provided Wiley approximately $800 over roughly 10 months during
his freshman year.

I am quite certain the NCAA knew the numbers before the players were reinstated. We had an asst coach arrested by the FEDS. The NCAA must look into it just for public perception.

Yeah, didn't we/they make Purifoy and Wiley repay the amounts immediately?

I believe so.

The fact Pearl was given a big raise and contract extension, with our Head of Compliance, told me right away not to be concerned down the road. This is just NCAA window dressing.

Jesus. What a statement.

Hopefully the NCAA reads that and says "poor guys they don't need an NOA"

quote:

Devan Cambridge just verbally committed to Auburn and intends to enroll in school this coming semester, Hillcrest coach Nick Weaver tells 247Sports.

"He is a great fit for Auburn because he is ultra athletic and can score from all three levels," Weaver said. 

Cambridge, a 6-foot-6 forward originally from Georgia, picked the Tigers over Oregon and West Virginia. Cambridge has previously visited Auburn unofficially and is planning to take an official visit to campus at the end of July or in early August.




quote:

In 15 games on the Nike EYBL circuit, Cambridge averaged 14.9 points and 5.3 rebounds. He was particularly impressive during the Nike Peach Jam this past week, where he went 36-for-62 from the field, including seven of 18 from three.

"Devan is a 6-7 super athletic wing that can shoot the three," Weaver said.




quote:

With the addition of Cambridge, Auburn now has seven newcomers headed their way this season. Cambridge joins a class that also consists of Isaac Okoro, Tyrell Jones, Jaylin Williams, Babatunde Akingbola, Allen Flanigan, and Javon Franklin.
