Traore
Jabari
Cooper
Herron
Kessler

Unbelievable. In the same time frame Auburn football has only signed five. Also unbelievable, in a different way.

Derrick Brown
Marlon
Calvin Ashley
Bo Nix
Owen Pappoe

That's really sad on the football thing. It's a good thing we are a basketball school.

Posters for years now have jokes about Bruce teaching Gus/Harsin how to recruit.

James Franklin has spoken about this early in his career but it’s an innate ability. You have it or you don’t. I’m sure it can be learned to an extent but by the time a head coach has been in the business for a while they probably are what they are from that single standpoint.

Pearl could get Congress to agree. He’s just a special personality. He gets people and it’s genuine.

So next season we’ll most likely only have 5-star basketball players and gymnasts on campus:

(5-star Walker Kessler)
5-star Yohan Traore
and maybe some others…

5-star Suni Lee
5-star Olivia Greaves (incoming freshman 2022-23)

AU football has never recruited 5*'s tho. We pumped a ton of cash into basketball and lucked into Bruce. Not sure the two are comparable.

I don’t care how much money you pump into a shite program like Auburn basketball was. We pumped money in when Barbee was here and his 3 stars he got would bolt or refuse to play for that dick wad.

Bruce is an elite recruiter. Requires you to play maximum speed effort defense and let’s you play freely in offense. What every major recruit wants so they can get ready for the NBA.

Chizik recruited really well. During his three years he got a good bit of 5 stars.

Cam Newton
Shon Coleman
Michael Dyer
Kris Frost
Carl Lawson
Reuben Foster (flipped once he got fired)

Yep - and success leads to more success. Bruce can now point to Kessler "this guy was a role player and a year later he's a first rounder". Gets guys wanting to play for you and buying into the program.

Kessler was never a role player.

You’re pigeon holing him.
Now. Now.

Do they really do star ratings for gymnastics?
