Hooks has said not to panic, but we should be getting comfortable with the idea of Thor playing pro ball.

Makes me think if Thor is drafted at all that he’s gone. I think a team will take him in the second round based off potential.

Bruce's uncanny ability to turn good but not great prospects into pros is awesome and sucks at the same time.

I really wish the NBA and NCAA could work together and come to a similar agreement as MLB and the NCAA. Go straight to the league from high school or sign with a school and play a minimum of 3 years. Even a 2 year commitment or skipping school all together would be an improvement over what we have. This one and done stuff is killing college basketball imo.

Yes, but Texas, like Auburn, isn't exactly smart with money.

Tigerprowl has to be a Kentucky basketball plant.

What? I’ve been an Auburn basketball fan my entire life, through the good times and the bad. What would make you think that? Because I don’t just go along with what the board wants/thinks and have my own take? I was the first to say we weren’t getting JD and that we had a much better chance of landing Jabari, although the board didn’t want to hear that at the time. I go with my gut based on what information I have.

His posts since before the final four run can be examined for further investigation.

I would love for you to go back and look at my post history, especially before the final four run. Funny, that I actually called the final four run, on the first page of the basketball thread that season. Look it up.

Edit: I also said that Turbo would most likely transfer out this past season and that JJ would get more of those minutes moving forward, and that wasn’t this board’s view at the time either(not to name names), but that is exactly what happened.

I’m sorry if you can’t handle a different perspective but it makes for good discussion sometimes..

mmhmm You for sure were talking about Kentucky being superior than Auburn throughout the season of that year.

Pull the thread up.. maybe historically, which is true. But seriously, pull it up and look at the first page.

Was I a bit apprehensive about Kentucky recruiting Cooper? Yes but understandably so because it is Kentucky.

I agreed with this but Indiana just gave a 6 year deal to a 63 year old

I don’t think Bruce is going to Texas for what should be obvious reasons..

Yep. It would make things a lot more stable in the college game.

I don’t think so either but age probably isn’t a factor

What is your problem?

I’ve already said

It is recruiting, sometimes things go well and sometimes they don’t. What is your point? Why are you calling me names like a child? One thing is for sure, you still need to grow up. This is a message board meant for conversation and discussion. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.

To be fair to your older posts...You were right a good bit, and ain’t stupid, but you’re still a Kentucky plant if we argue again. And that’s my olive branch to you.

Did you say that after I pulled up the article for you.

So what do you think the chances are of landing Pinson?
