I'm not sure there is more depth at guard at UK. At least not proven anyways.
Before Hagans' commitement, you don't even need to include this line. Assuming SGA/HD go pro, UK had only 3 guards who are not elite .
Auburn is returning two upperclassmenm, All SEC guards, another two players who averaged 10+ ppg as FR and a senior who got about 10-15mpg last season

Before Hagans' commitment, UK only had 3 guards total expected for next season. They were a backup (Green), their worst recruit last year (Baker) and an overrated FR in Hero
Right. That's what I was trying to say. UK may have more depth if you look solely at recruiting rankings, but Auburn's guards have clearly done more at the collegiate level and don't look to easily be displaced.

They only had 3 guards expected before Hagans committed. They had absolutely no depth
Auburn not only has better guards like you alluded to, Auburn has more guards and players fighting for minutes

5 guards before Hagans committed, UK is really deep at the guard position. Herro, Quickley, Green, Johnson and Baker are all expected to get some decent minutes next year. Hagans just adds to that.

They'll have at least 5 guards who were ranked in the top 50 on their roster next year.

Sorry, I forgot Quickley who makes 4 guards. I consider Johnson as a SF though
Considering none of those 5 would start at AU next season, Hagans is smart to take his chances with UKs limited depth. Probably wouldn't even be first off the bench either

I considered Johnson a SF and Baker isn't top 50
Forgot about Quickley

It's the "limited" part that's not accurate. We're going to have 6 guards(Johnson is a SG) vying for 2-3 spots most times. We are very deep and very talented at that position.

If you are seriously suggesting that these players would start over returning all conference guards from the SEC Champ you clearly are trolling.

Nope, you’re trolling. And yes, several of the guards would start for Auburn.

You must be the rare UK fan who doesn't know shite about college basketball.
It's also impressive how you appear to be upvotibg all your own posts

What exactly do I not know about Auburn basketball?
Who exactly do you think would start over Harper/Brown? Right now you are entering LSU basketball fan naivety by pushing this idea
Hagans, Green and Quickley aren't better PGs than Harper
Johnson and Baker + those above aren't better SG options than Bryce Brown who made the Naismith Final 30 list

So we are clear on here...your saying Hagans had no interest with Auburn because he was scared of not getting any playing time? Your on the record with that hot take?

I'm saying the reclassification was the nail in the coffin. We were fading post FBI scandal even with play time to offer. Take that play time away and we were down for the count. If Hagans stayed in the 2019 class, we'd still be in fringe contention but doubtful. If there was no FBI case we'd be in the thick of it
Btw, EJ Montgomery was not a FBI casualty. He is a "his sister accused a WBB coach of assault and AU did nothing about it" casualty

UK is loaded now. Looked for a second there like Cal had lost his touch a bit but he's back.
