Is there any chance EJ Montgomery re-commits? He has been killing it lately m

I don't know anything about ej specifically, but you have to think we need some closure on the FBI mess/internal investigation before our recruiting picks back up.

I may be wrong but I think Person was the lead guy on Montgomery.

His sister was involved with some of the bad stuff going on with WBB. Ship has sailed sadly.

Was his sister the one who was rumoured to be banging an assistant, then kidnapped by assistant, dragged to the woods and held captive at gunpoint to not rat the assistant out post softball scandal?


I wrote that out so people know the worst rumors I've heard and don't have to ask for them.

Jesus fricking Christ, is that what the rumor is? That is terrible by my standards...

I think so. Maybe as high as 20.

While I could see us as high as 20, I'd be shocked if we are higher than 24-25, may even go unranked.

Not only will AU not get recognition due to lack of exposure buy Not a lot of teams played themselves out of the rankings, a few teams played their way into the rankings

I really don't know much of the details. I'm sure that with the Person stuff was more than enough. Can't really blame EJ.

I definitely think we could be as high as #20. Wins @23 TN and then at home against 22 Ark back to back. After last night our RPI is projected at #9, SOS up to #56, and were riding a 12 game win streak. OM projected at #113 though so hopefully we crush them. 8 SEC teams projected in the top 50.

LINK If you care to look.

The issue is half the voters probably don't look at metrics and vote blindly

Not blindly, they just rank traditional basketball schools + the teams that beat them first

So for example we will probably be behind both Tennessee and Kentucky next poll

Also Danjel Purifoy appeared to have been a no show last night. Not sure what that means

I noticed that and wondered where he was. He tweeted about the win though If I were Purifoy and Wiley I would've dipped to Europe by now

Wiley doesn't benefit by leaving for Europe. He is projected a late RD1 pick even w limited inconsistent film.

Purifoy meanwhile probably only has a Europe future if he can't prove himself at Auburn. I agree, not sure why he is still here

I'd do it simply for the fact that I'd rather make money and play for half a year than not make money while not playing
