Sahvir Wheeler in the transfer portal. I think he will get virtually any offer he wants. Not sure if we have a chance or not.

Per Jonathan Givony of Draft Express,

"Auburn sophomore Allen Flanigan -- a projected second round pick -- tells ESPN he'll return for his junior season and not enter the 2021 NBA Draft. Flanigan, a candidate for preseason SEC player of the year honors, is a potential 2022 lottery pick.

Flanigan, who is younger than several freshmen currently projected to be drafted, having yet to turn 20, was ranked the No. 54 prospect in the ESPN 100 prior to withdrawing from consideration. He is projected as the No. 17 pick in the ESPN 2022 mock draft."

I didn't realize he was this young. Hope he has a great year next year and is able to become a first rounder

Allen took the biggest leap this season. I expect Cambridge to be the SEC 6th Man of the Year next season. He's probably a starter at 10 other SEC schools

Flanigan was the #298 prospect in his class on the composite. Pretty remarkable the development he’s had as a player. He’s a pro if he can clean up his game and put together another solid season

Didn’t realize he was still that young.

Flanagan could really improve with better guard play next season... glad he’s coming back.

Had no idea he was so young. Did he come to Auburn at 17?

JLee is saying Sills commits to Auburn today. Probably means Thor is gone for good

Does that mean with Sills (if Thor leaves) we still have 1 spot remaining? For Scoot essentially?

I think he was Arks best scorer before an injury. Could have that mixed up but he’s a serviceable veteran that can get streaky.

Why does everyone think he is older? He's played 2 years without a RS.

This seems a normal age for a sophomore. He will turn 20 sometime this year.

I graduated from HS at 18, was 18 when I enrolled and started at Auburn in the fall. I was 19 my sophomore year, but eventually turned 20 later in the year.

But glad he is coming back. SOunds like he wants to enjoy college a little more. He also knows he and his dad probably want him to either get his degree before he declares next year or come close.

He's definitely developed and good but SEC POTY? I was a guy defending him when he was hucking up those bad shots too, BTW. Its my observational prowess. I know these things.

I thought he was great this year and made a ridiculous leap. If he makes another decent sized leap he's certainly a first team all SEC level guy

I don't know a ton about the guy, but he had one of his best games of the year in a comeback win against us. In that game he was killing us driving to the basket and getting to the free throw line. He only shot one 3 pointer in that game, but apparently he can be a streaky shooter from outside as well.

Seems like a veteran guard who knows the SEC and has tournament experience. Prior to a few comments he made on his way out the door in Arkansas, Arky fans seemed to love him and he was expected to be a starter for them next year. I'm pretty excited about the boost he could provide off the bench. And honestly we need more help at guard than we do inside. I feel good about the rotation at the 4 and 5 with Williams, Smith, Kessler, and Cardwell.

It sucks that we never got to see Thor or Cooper really blossom into their full potential at Auburn. With that said Thor just wasn't consistent enough last year to leave a real lasting impression. If we get Sills in his place next year, I think it makes Auburn a more well rounded team.

I personally think Scoot will not reclassify and the one scholly left is for Thor if he were to return.

Agree. I'd like to see a jump in efficiency. He's not that.
