Does anyone want to have Final 4 nostalgia tour?

Dylan Cardwell only started two games before last season and never averaged more than 5.5 points per game, but remained loyal and became the soul of Auburn basketball, and he is still growing and making an impact in the NBA for the Kings. Just let the Kings know we loved him first.

I didnt hear the Instagram Live but supposedly our 17 year old center was saying Howard was going to turn heads next year.
quote:

I think he got to show he deserves to start somewhere.

Did you miss the part where he was a starter at Stanford before he decided to come to Auburn to back up Arnold?
quote:

Pavia is a terrible example, where are you going with this?

I didnt bring him up.
quote:

Why are you guys so upset? The team was 5-7, in this day and age

Mainly because of the coach and QB. Change the Coach and the QB and strengthen the roster is what you ideally want. The defections will pile up and and we would have to deal with that, but paying less money up front is pouring gas on the fire.

You say this "day and age" as if your mindset has shifted but reality is you are using the same archaic logic as the rest of them.

Auburn is not done bleeding out yet and already down into the 60s in scholarship players while the scholarship roster size will be allowed to balloon to 105 next season. Like I said in 2022 when you are adding 40ish new players to the roster at one time there will be too big of a mixed bag in success, and the odds of competing drops as the number of misses inevitably piles up. You are seeing that phenomenon on a bigger level in basketball this year. We had to recruit a whole roster in one year- some were fine, some were not ready, and some will be busts, thus the players in the later 2 will have a greater impact than the additions.
quote:

It doesn't get any more clear than that.

Well then why are you convinced that On3 number represents the number schools are paying to their athletes? Like Vandy making Pavia a top 9 paid athlete?

We know Amaris made 350,000 because we also know he wanted that number doubled.

Why in the frick am I supposed to believe some lesser player in Perry Thomposn was being paid "like an All American?"
quote:

Again, do you think Vandy was paying top 9 money for Pavia?

I dont care. I know third party deals are represented on that number.

Amaris Williams supposedly made 350,000 at Auburn and he was much more highly sought after.
He turned down Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and the list goes on and on and on.
quote:

NIL Value, on the other hand, measures an athlete’s market value in terms of licensing and sponsorship. This value is influenced by on-field performance, media exposure, and social media presence. Typically, only elite national athletes or those with a strong social media following generate significant revenue from brand marketing compared to their Roster Value.
quote:

You should let him go. Spend the money on OL instead and you might need to pick up a QB. It’s unlikely year one you’re a contender under a new coach and getting pieces in place for 2027 would make sense.

Coach Ghoulish is considering buying a minority ownership stake in JMU. Anything to help the russians gather intel.
That's Pavia's estimated net worth.

AKA third party deals

Perry also has third party deals and his number is still around 473,000.

quote:

I’m pretty sure the On3 evaluations aren’t generally accurate, and are just for clicks. We’re talking about them right now so I guess it’s working.
Not precise, but normally in the general ballpark.
quote:

I think this is your answer. It sucks to lose guys especially the two CB’s but most AU people are in a wait-and-see stage, to see if this is a negotiation tactic or if they are really leaving.

Freeze was into star chasing and over-paying guys just hoping they would miraculously perform without any real coaching. Golesh schedules his time down to the minute every day. The difference is stark. I’m willing to see how coaching and discipline and development and “fit” works for a change because Freeze’s way sure as hell didn’t work.

Indiana and Oklahoma both lost more than 30 players to the portal last year and both made the playoffs. I’m willing to gamble with the big Russian this time. Hoping it works out.

I'm not.

There is one way to get better in the SEC. Go get great players and develop them.

Why is Golesh trying to reinvent the wheel? He was an 8-4 coach in the AAC and he is bringing an AAC mentality to Auburn at the moment.


quote:

He was a highly sought after WR coming out of HS. Do you honestly think he signed for $400K?

Yes. On3 has him valued at 473,000.


He was a 4 star.

Also LSU COACH/ Fans:

Dear Diary
Bruce said that during the Auburn Michigan game. Bruce said 1 million by Auburn didn't even get him to the negotiating table.


Auburn also couldnt afford a backup 4 for the final 4 run. Have to think a good backup 4 could've been the difference in beating Florida. Chaney Johnson played like a God and he needed to because he is all we had.
quote:

Golesh was hired to make changes to 5-7 team. There are 22 declared entering the portal so far for Auburn, which is about average for a SEC team. T

If Golesh wants to ask his players to take less money up front then 22 is just the starting point lil brother
quote:

It does seem to be the trend that some of these kids get the bigger bucks and just have huge production dropoffs.

Coaches too.
quote:

It means on Auburn's roster, he was getting upper-end NIL money.

No he wasn't. He was probably getting about 400,000 maybe. Youre gonna see players like Cam Coleman make 1.8 million. Singleton, Xavier, Arnold, and Deuce over a million.

Only Xavier has put up the numbers. So how far are we going to let the blood letting go?
quote:

I would bet the farm Perry Thompson was getting first round money. He wasn't worth sixth round.

What the heck is "first round money"

The list of the top 25 NIL earners is out and I highly doubt Perry sniffs that list.
quote:

So you sit Deuce down and say, your pay is still the big bucks
You "performance doesn't meet the paycheck" stans are just making shite up. I know Deuce is worth more. You know nothing. Stop pretending that you do. I can read what Daniels wrote.
He is one of those guys that squashes the "he makes too much" narratives considering he didn't even expect to play.

He came to be a backup for Arnold after being the starter at Stanford. Doubt backing up Brown was an issue.

I bet the Mercer merchant is paid a lot though..
