I wrote this on 247:

I’m seeing several recent CBs to other schools for Jalen Green, Cliff Omoruyi, and Jaemyn Brakefield. Not looking good right now.


Hooks’ direct response to me was:

Good grief. This board has gone down hill rapidly with the succes of the program. Unbelievable honestly how quickly folks post here claiming the sky is falling.

We are in fully with all three of those guys. In fact as of writing this we are in the lead with several but whatever......

Sorry Hooks but a general rule right now is if Memphis is in the mix you probably aren't in the lead.

Walker Kessler was CB'd heavily to Duke yet he went with UNC. I think many of these CB's are not generated from the circumstances with a players recruitment but more from an 'insiders' gut feeling.

Edit: I hope Memphis tanks so hard this season...just like LSU in 2015-16 with Ben Simmons. I would love to see recruits start jumping ship from their commitments there.

Evan Daniels (which CBed Brakefield to Duke and Hooks has a problem with it,) picked UNC hours before Kessler committed.

Jesus Hooks is an emotional bird.

Your comment is fairly accurate. We may still get any one of those guys, but when CBs start rolling in for other schools, it usually isn't a good sign.

There is no surer thing in college hoops right now than the fact that Memphis is cheating. It's an open secret.

He made some bold claims that brought a ton of skepticism and he’s been defensive ever since.

Dang. That sucks. Important to remember though, Powell and Cooper is still an insanely good start to the class.

I wonder who we target next?
I’m not convinced we can get Greg Brown.

Matthew Murrell and Chris Moore?

They are already targets at the 2 & 4 respectively. Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by who we target next.

I guess I should’ve said who is most likely to join the class now.

Anybody bought 2k20 yet?

Chuma was on there when they initially launched, but apparently with the very first roster update they took him off the Magic's roster and out of the game completely. It makes sense since he won't be playing this year and is waiting to sign his contract so the Magic can use his roster spot, but it's still annoying af to have to wait a while nother year just to use a former Auburn player on this game. Only makes it worse that Barkley is one of the very few NBA legends you can't use since he doesn't allow them to use his likeness

Uninstall the game and then install it again and don't update the roster. I would have thought he would still be in quick games and career just not online.

I haven't even bought it yet, I usually don't pick up 2k until after Thanksgiving

But my buddy picked up the game a few nights ago, he's not even an Auburn fan but he text me saying he was looking for Chuma but couldn't find him. So I googled it bc I had remembered seeing his rating was a 72, so I looked it up and found this usatoday article talking about how Magic fans are pissed about it

I don't have it either... I would say maybe if enough fans complain about it then he will be added back, but this is modern gaming companies we're talking about. Maybe if they can sell him back for $9.99 lol.

Yeah sucks Chuma isn’t in there. Surely Harper will get added at some point though.

@Tomas_Verde

Danjel Purifoy said freshman Isaac Okoro reminds him a lot of Mustapha Heron when he first got to Auburn
