There is no way we are able convince two separate quality grad transfer big men is what I'm trying to say.

If we could, we should bring in 3 GT. I just don't see a grad transfer PF/C coming to Auburn when realizing 'They brought in a grad transfer big man, return a key big man, have a 7ft guy plus brought in a FR'

ETA: There also is a ton more competition for grad transfers from major programs

I don't understand what you're saying. If a grad transfer big, Spencer, a 7 footer that has been in and out of trouble(barely registered any substantial minutes while on campus,not exactly dependable) and an unheralded true freshman, scares off a grad transfer post player because of our depth down low, we don't want him anyway. The fact we can offer immediate playing time down low should give us a leg up on most major programs because most teams are a lot deeper than we are in the paint..

That is a lot of depth. And no guarantee of playing time.

This is the most baffling part of your statement. It is absurd to think Auburn coming off a 11-20 season is good enough as a team to convince not one but two quality players to come here.

The lesser of the two grad transfers would be competing for only one spot against a promising returning starter, a talented 7+ big and a freshman.

That is before youc onsider Danjel Prufioy supposedly isnow 6'8 and likely plays a stretch 4 eating into minutes.

There aren't that many quality grad transfer options year to year. There are more programs recruiting those options. Hard to imagine we snag not one but two of them

Major programs like Arizona, Louisville and UConn who all have brought in GT big men in the past year to start immediately?

You normally don't register minutes when you redshirt. Regarding trouble, he can't be in too much trouble if he was allowed back and hasn't had any publicly known issues. There is a good chance it was academic issues which he has supposedly worked on
