Perplexed as to everyone's obsession with this.


Top 50 recruit and despite struggling against pressure and the defensive issues he can score. imo he would have thrived in Pettiford's role last year
He called Coach Pearl a bitch on his backup social media account and then deleted it but not fast enough that it didn't get out. It's hard to walk that one back and still maintain control over the locker room. I believe the only reason he wasn't immediately kicked off the team is that he played for Overtime Elite in AAU

Sonic of your choosing. This disrespect shall not stand

Sure looks like Golesh thinks Abrams is a better fit and his preferred choice


Willing >>best fit. An analogy.....Scarlett Johansson is my preferred choice for doing the nasty but sitting around waiting on her to choose me back leaves me alone with my junk in my hand so if Jennifer Lawrence comes knocking im answering that door.

Magwood is missing out on some minutes. I hope he’s learned to be a better team member and team mate


I originally thought there's no way he would ever be allowed to play for Auburn again but after it being pointed out to me that he played for Overtime Elite I'm far less confident in that prediction.
Saw a stat that we only had 4 empty possessions in the 2nd half last night. That's pretty dang impressive from the Berg
I don't think they would impact each other. Hall and Freeman have played together as wings in our offense pretty often

He's forcing up a lot of tough shots


It's mainly confidence but he's a little fatigued too. There were a few times last night he turned down good in rhythm looks just to take an out of rhythm shot late in the shot clock. I'm interested to see how he looks after the bye and am hopeful the time off and a little extra work in the gym can flip his switch.
That was a mature win. I like mature wins. Kept playing our game and they eventually cooled off.
Hugh fit well in auburn and had buy in from the boosters and we see how that worked out. If he can coach he'll do well. If he can't we'll be back here in 3-4 years
Finally some cruitin news. He's a '27 kid so with the lack of any info on any '26 kids I'm thinking the rest our 26-27 roster is going to be transfer heavy

Thats not true. lets look at the last 2 NC outside Indiana. Mich was a senior laden team built from HS, OSU was not filled with transfers but built through top 3 HS recruting classes.

Cant be a new standard if it only happened once with Indiana, Golesh said he wants to build the team through HS recruiting. Until he says otherwise thats still the plan for us.


Those were also very early in the transfer era before Indiana showed a different way. i'm not going as far to say it will be the new normal but more and more teams will start following it and if it continues to show improvement then...
Im in a pretty similar place in regards to Steven. Let's see how good he is at refocusing the team for what on paper is an infinitely easier game. I would also like to see a little more development from the guards. Tahaad can not play this many high pressure minutes a game. He was gassed in the second half and made some poor decisions because of it. We have to find some depth behind him and a way to get him off the ball more often so he can get a few in game breathers
With as many pieces as he brought from USF offensively and all the returning pieces we have defensively I'm hopeful for a smoother than normal transition year. All the key pieces on offense have played together so integrating the newer and more talented upgrades to the 25 USF offense should be able to produce out of the gate. Defense is the same situation even though it will probably take a step back this year with a little less talented group and added possessions from playing opposite a high tempo offense
Hell of a coaching job by Steven. That's 3 in a row where we've been able to outwork teams and get a win.
I have no idea how it works now without walk-ons but somebody has to be on the scout team.
They both played in NBA games. The only one i can think of that would still have eligibility and never played in the league is Austin Wiley
It's not a coincidence that our shooting began to suffer when Chuck Person was indicted.

What were the OM students chanting every time. Tahaad was at the Free Throw line? I couldn't quite make it out but it sounded like "DUI, DUI, DUI"


You heard correctly

His instagram calling coaches something like bitches after being benched didn’t help.


The official story is he was calling Ferguson a bitch. I'm not buying it personally but he's still on the team and dressing out so evidently there's still a pathway back to playing time.
