re: 2022-23 Auburn basketball season thread- 21-13 (10-9) Season over

This was a good read on the Israel trip: link

Junior center Dylan Cardwell reflected on what the trip means to him as a Christian, “First of all I want to say “All Glory to God” I wouldn’t be here without him. Just the experience alone is an experience of a lifetime. Growing up in Georgia I would have never myself traveling across the sea to go to Israel. It took me surprise just everything here. There is so much going on between the food, music and the drinks, the community and the feel, it’s just an amazing environment.”

“For me spiritually this is the closest I’ve ever been to God, physically, spiritually, emotionally. I just thank him everyday that I can step foot in his Holy Land and the land that he created. It’s just a blessing that not enough people are fortunate to get. I pray that I take full advantage of this and grow through my experiences and get as much as I can because this is the trip of a lifetime. I want to thank BP (Bruce Pearl) and everybody at Auburn and everyone involved. I want to thank God for his grace for blessing us as a team for being over here as well. I want to thank Israel for allowing us to be here.”

“This is a historic visit and the first time a Power 5 Conference basketball program has been here and this is an inaugural event. Our goal is to try and bring 2-4 teams every August and our media partners will come alongside of us and Complete Sports Management under the leadership of Lea Miller who is the best at putting these kinds of trips and tournaments together. Next year it could be Duke, Florida, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech. Lots of different clubs are interested and when our kids come back and they have experienced this incredible culture and love that we are feeling here, I think this will be a place that a lot of college programs will want to come to.”
