re: Basketball Recruiting Thread: 6’8 G/F Elyjah Freeman commits!!!

quote:Just to add some more context to this, I think he was only taking about 2 a game. A few knocks on him I saw if that he's not as aggressive as he should be all the time on offense.. I think that's something this staff will be good about getting out of him though. His % will go down with more shots, but he should still be good.
45.6 3pt% would have put him at 6th overall in D1.

I believe we’re still working on Luis Jr, Stojakovic.

Good pick up. At least the roster is starting to come together.
And Chad made a huge mistake imo. I doubt he's going to get the money he's looking for and very few coaches will put up with his attitude. He was in the perfect spot for him.

Next question is it actually enforceable?

I'm not sure that's how that works. I think as long as he still fulfills his contract with whoever his NIL is with then he still gets paid.
I've seen it in football a bit.. player transfers, but still has to make social media post about the school he left. Not entirely sure how it works in basketball though.

Addarin Scott just hit the portal. Not really a big deal, but not like we have the money to replace him either apparently.

"We" = Auburn and Auburn NIL. Its a joke we are still having to look in the cushions to able to afford players. I agree with what you said, the issue is that there should be more money period. Final 4 again and still penny pinching.

If we can't afford to keep our best players anymore then I might just be done with basketball. Making the final 4 one more time might just be a good way to go out.

Wouldn't shock me. I expected him to go there over bam.
I can't speak on why they would say that about his mom. He's from my city though, never heard a bad word about his mom.
If I had to guess UGA ended up with some extra money after their guy (its late and I can't remember his name lol) declared for the NBA and they are going to pay Reid and build the team around him next year. I'd still love for Bruce to touch base though. I just think he would thrive under his coaching.

He was a freshman playing under the wrong coach. I'm not saying we should make him a starter, but I would love to get him and see how Bruce develops him. Coming out of HS I compared him to Chuma but slightly less good as a shooter, but way better as a passer.

Derrion Reid is in the portal. I hope we give him a call this time.

That can already happen. You don't think Sam Turner couldn't do something like that right now with the hype he's been getting? Its impossible to hide players.
Looks like most of the fans agree, because the stadium is empty today.

I'm guessing he will use some kind of guard. There are a few good products out there. Also possible they could just custom make their own.

A day is dead, now its just a day, and paranoia killed it.
I like how the reason is because coaches are worried other teams might find out about their players... as we sit here discussing insider info from 247, ON3 and personal connections, like other teams don't have access to that same info lol.

Sounds like Fields might be a solid redzone guy. If you've seen his film, he has trouble separating but he's good at those contested catches.

I kind of had this feeling all along, but we still probably have to dip into the lower levels to get some more players like we had to with Chad and Chaney. We find good players, but we just aren't in that elite group of recruiting right now. Be in NIL or whatever. We are good for like 1 or 2 top level players and then we have to fill the rest of the roster out with guys that fit the system.
I think Hoke tweeted that Hall played some C earlier in his career before he lost weight, so maybe he can play the 4 and knows how to be physical enough inside.. as it stands right now though, I hope we shoot the ball like never before because rebounding and defense are going to be issues.

When listing our the roster next year you forgot the Bashir bro. He's as good of a shooter as there is.
Its basically going to come down to can we find a starting 4 and 5 who are good enough and does Pettford come back and take the next step as a PG or do we have to go find another PG. Get those and we can have another good year.

Best season in Auburn basketball history. I'm going to miss these guys. Guys like Cardwell and Chaney don't come around very often. Might be the last time we see any guys who stick around for years like these guys did with the portal like it is. This group was special.
