Nah, but I'll try to dig around for some more info/rumors
2020 Early NBA Mock Draft Notes
quote:
Okoro is only ranked No. 36 in the RSCI, but his statistical profile and strong frame indicates he may be the most underrated player in his class. Okoro is a 6’5 wing who should make a major impact on Auburn next season. He hit 46 percent of his threes as a rising senior on Nike’s EYBL circuit and also dished out four assists per game while limiting turnovers, good enough to earn him second-team all-league honors. He projects as one of the best perimeter defenders in this class, using his length, strength, and quickness to keep offensive from the basket. While his free throw percentage of 68 percent is cause for concern, his true shooting percentage of 65.8 percent was one of the best on the circuit for a perimeter player. His projects as a high-IQ, two-way wing.

Notes from Hooks
Non Performance Notes
-F "Stretch" Babatunde Akingbola is expected by everyone to make it to campus this season. "Progress" is being made
- G Tyrell Jones and G Javon (J'Von?) are being held out of contact drills due to inj recovery
- G Tyrell "Turbo" Jones has been making 'incredible' progress after surgery and already able to shoot around. Estimated return for contact in ~1 month

Practice / Performance Notes
Returning Players
- C Austin Wiley looks as 'heatlhy and fit as I have ever seen him.' Aggressive and played through contact (sure) with an emphasis on improving getting the ball and finishing.
-G Samir Doughty shooting the ball very well and with confidence. He seems locked in
-F Danjel Purifoy is making strides and shows progress towards improving body composition.
New Players
- G/F Isaac Okoro currently on the "starting 5" at the 3. He stood out on defense and skill "going down hill and in passing" while solid on open shots.
- Expects Allen Flanigan to contribute this year as a 'glue guy.' Great athlete who can play above the rim, fundamentally sound and solid on open shots.
- F Jaylin Williams seems to be a project but flashed a high ceiling. Good athlete + frame

I am really really concern about our PG this season - McCormick looked really good in the tournament but we don’t have a significant sample size for him. Really sucks that Cooper won’t be reclassifying.

Javon Franklin the JC commit. Not McCormick.

Ill back up Chin with a few things from reading some sites:
Jay Tate continues to say there’s a surprise PG that will be on the team at some point. Thinks it’s Cooper not reclassifying, but graduating early like Wiley did and joining the team in December.
Very reputable poster (jhead) predicted Cooper, Stone, and Kessler to commit to AU by the end of July - If so, it’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks. Lot of people think it’s us or Duke for Kessler. Maybe having Powell will push it over the finish line for us since they’re good friends?
Not getting Cooper would be beyond disappointing at this point. Rivals national guy had this to say in an article on who the next big commitment is:
“I'm going to go with Sharife Cooper popping for Auburn at some point in the near future. I'm honestly not even sure he's visited any other schools throughout the recruiting process. He's been to Auburn numerous times, and I'm told spent a lot of time recruiting for Auburn on its big recruiting weekend at the beginning of June.”
After that, who knows what happens. Boston and other 5*s you don’t say no to but we’ll be in a spot to be really selective.
The 2021 squad could really be something special...
Cooper
Stone/Powell
Okoro
??? Williams probably
Kessler
