Those starving toddlers and babies should have done more canvassing in their neighborhoods. What is happening to innocent civilians and children in Gaza should make every person sick to their stomach. It’s unfathomable.

Clearly orchestrated to make Pete and Trump look bad. And if not, 4D chess move by the administration.

re: Auburn put interesting deal In Chad Baker - Mazara NIL deal from last year

Well I hope Auburn gets what they want out of this deal, but what if this makes him come back to Auburn? Would he be welcome? Could he be trusted to play for the team and not himself?

CBM is a nut job on the court. By all accounts, he’s a good teammate and not an issue in the locker room. He’s also a very very good basketball player. I don’t fault him for trying to maximize his earnings and would love to have him on the team next season- doubtful he returns though.

He cost us a tournament run last year and was a turnover machine and rebounding liability this year. Also was likely the reason we lost to our in state rival at home in OT. Hell of a legacy

I would say CBM has been our second best player behind Broome the last two years. Injuries restricted him some down the stretch this season but his impact on the game is going to be very hard to replace. Just a highly efficient, good basketball player. Not to mention the mind voodoo he inflicted on other teams players. (He was also a victim of his own mind games at times too)

Probably for the better. Dude is locker room cancer from what I hear and Bruce isn’t stupid.

Definitely not the case. The lockeroom loved the guy. He’s just a head case on the court. Some team is about pick up a very very good player. He was AU’s second best player for most of the season. Some injuries slowed him down towards the end.

Great defender and super efficient on offense. Bruce handled him pretty well. Not sure any other coach can do the same but plenty will take the chance.

We got better when KD left, maybe the same with CBM.

You do realize we made the final four last year?

In this scenario, who would you replace him with? You can't just remove a starter without a replacement and use that as an argument. Remove any starter off any team and they would finish worse than they did

Well my point is that he was more than just a starter. He has been the second best player on a very good team for the past two seasons. His defense and super efficient offense makes him a huge difference maker. He also has excelled in the system and makes others better.

He is valuable and if we have the resources to pay him we should do it. But, I get it’s probably not possible to pay what someone else might.

Kid didn’t play with the maturity needed out of an upper class man. Talented? Yes… prone to dumb mistakes yes…

Take CBM off the roster last year and we finish fourth or lower in the SEC. I get it’s easy to bitch about him but he has been so so good for us.

I agree, but I feel like CBM thinks that era is over. I think Bruce & Co feel the same.

Yeah but this isn’t some daytime drama. It’s about winning games. CBM wins you games.

Lol yeah no way. For all his faults, CBM is a great bball player and a game changer. Our staff knows this more than anyone. They want him here.

He learned what we are paying the UCF transfer and isn’t happy about it.

I get it. CBM was arguably the second best player for 3/4 of the season last year. He’s insanely efficient and can turn a good team into a great team with his skill set.

If anything Pearl and Golden should have tied for what they did in the best conference we have ever seen.

Group of 8 rolling into San Antonio today. Bought my flight two weeks ago. AU should be well represented.

Explain to everyone here how your 5th year 22 year old is athletically superior to the Freshman 18 year old. Broome plays 5 ft. and in 90+% of the time. So I can't wait to hear how versatile he is.

If it’s a most athletic completion, give the award to Grant Nelson or Chaney Johnson.

Broome is a center. The last four winners were centers who played with their back to the basket.

Watch some basketball or something.

I respect your opposition and opinion, but Cooper is 4 years younger and exponentially more versatile and athletic than Broome. Respectfully, if you believe they are even close athletically, then perhaps you're "dumb".

Is that all you think Flagg does? Flashy dunks?

No? Casual fans/media will gravitate to a player like Flagg over Broome though. Flagg had greats stats against far inferior competition. Broome should win it but he won’t. It’s not that big of a deal.
