Purifoy and Wiley were considered to be the two best NBA Prospects before the Pearson issues


Maybe, but not at this point many would argue Wiley clogs things up and hurts the free and fast system that worked so well.

Most teams were happy to see shooters go off the floor and Wiley come in.

Bruce recruits to his system, not to magazines.


Bruce recruits talented kids who fit his system. Most, outside of the highly recruited kids like Okeke, take time to develop and learn.



Time will tell, but Auburn lost the core of their identity. Role players will have to become something they haven't been before for Auburn to be a Top 25 level team next year.

Harper and Brown are huge losses. People trying to downplay their losses are kidding themselves. There is a slight chance Harper comes back though. Sharife Cooper would be huge if we could get him and he reclassifies.

Wiley was the major force on the team around the boards. He doesn't get credit for the UK game in the Reg Finals. When healthy he is considered one of the better big man in country. Purifoy has a reputation as being a 3 point shooter and his biggest issue this year was his conditioning. With Johnson they will continue to run and with a healthy Wiley they will have a force on the Defensive Boards. Every good team has a question mark, we will see if Bruce can answer them. Most AU fans feel comfortable he will and most other fans are trying to alibi why he won't.
