MSU @ Auburn isn’t happening tomorrow, according to Ben Howland

Makes sense. Sounds like highway 82 is an ice skating rink with downed trees

Reading from a State reporter sounds like Thursday could be the makeup date

Howland clarified that the game at Auburn will definitely not take place tomorrow night. He's hoping it gets moved to Thursday. Again, no official word from the league yet.

The boom was 110% in reference to Malzahn’s hiring. Their bromance is out of control

Tomorrow's already postponed game against Miss St. has been postponed again to a TBD.

2 Auburn CB’s for 5* PG Scoota Henderson

He could also reclassify

Makes me think the coaches are expecting Cooper to leave. Scoot would ease any and all concerns I would have about next year's team without Cooper. He's not on Cooper's level when it comes to passing and vision, but that's an incredibly high bar. He is however, better when it comes to size and explosiveness. He's supposedly improved his perimeter shooting a good bit too.

With Henderson's height, is it possible he could play the 2 guard for maybe just 1 year, if Sharife comes back one year more?

It would be great to have him on board, with or without Sharife for sure...

Yeah I didn't even think about Bruce selling him on the same thing we sold JD on.

Do we have room to add him (in ‘21) if Cooper stays?

No, I think one person would have to leave for him to have room. Which I could easily see Franklin moving on to get more playing time.

Scoota and Sharife on the same team is a problem we can find a solution to me thinks

Pretty sure we already need one person to leave just to make room for Jabari and Alexander. We are at 12 schollies and you are alotted 13 and we have no seniors.

You are laughing at my prediction about Sharife going lottery this year? Lol, ok. I was in a similar spot last year saying the same of Okoro and getting downvoted.

You will see.

For now...no way Sharife is getting Lottery money. Fans would roast their team if they took him as a lottery pick.

He is no where ready. His only skill so far is dribble drive and look for the open guy. He is avg on a jump shot and below avg on his 3 pt ability.

And even his dribble drive recently has been dribble drive..and half the time get rejected.

He needs to polish more than 1 skill to be a lottery.

At this point in time...........comparing Sharife and Okoro is absurd. Okoro could do everything on the floor, at both ends. Cooper isn't there yet. I think Sharife is very good. He just has things he needs to improve immensely to be a lottery pick.......even to be first rounder.

Um, what? I love Okoro and would have taken him third overall but this isn't even close to being true.

Cooper has many weaknesses, but he also has otherworldly vision. Usually one skill isn't enough to get you drafted in the lottery, but when you are talking about a guy with the highest assist % in the NCAA since 2009 you are talking about a guy that can completely change the dynamic of a team. That kind of elite skill does sell in the lottery.
