Glad he's back. Hopefully Pearl can figure out how to use him in a way that accentuates his scoring

re: Dylan Cardwell. What a player.

Has Broome been injured or is he just not getting much playing time?


Looks like he had a knee surgery in February and is still recovering.

Talk of the receivers having problems getting open


That could define the last 10 years of Auburn football :lol:

Definitely looks pretty awkward. Accuracy is going to be a concern, especially trying to drop it over the shoulder of the receiver with a DB on his tail.


I don't disagree with you that it looks awkward but in his two full time starting seasons he hangs around 65% accuracy which is good enough for college. Granted those were not seasons where he goes up against the SEC full time, but all kinds of weird releases work at this level that don't translate to the pros.

Have to get the ball out quick and compact.


Yezzir. I think it does have to do with taking a little longer to get the ball out which allows both the rush to have extra time to get to the QB and for DBs to see the motion start and break on a pass.

ea, that has always been a knock on him. It is almost a bit like Byron Leftwich's throwing motion.


It is an odd motion, but not an issue at the college level. If he wants to be more prototypical NFL QB he has to address it though.

Mfer, this isn't a family run restaurant lol

This is a business, and Bruce screwed over both the university and his son by placing them in this position.

Looks like he was trying to work on his distribution skills, those are important for a guard.

We're keeping baby Pearl another year, minimum. His contract is $15m over 5 years with 50% buyout if fired without cause.

If the MBB program is already kind of second choice for NIL donors imagine what it would be like to have to pay a buyout on a coach too lol
Yeah, Pettiford didn't live up to his or the teams expectations. I think he might go try and find a team composition closer to the one last year. It's clear he is miscast as a PG.
It wasn't pretty, but the same thing happened with Wilts 100pt game.

I think once he got around 70 last night both teams shifted to enable and disable him getting any more points, respectively.

Edit: Looks like Sharife Cooper got 6 minutes in that game

There is a chance we could get by MSST if Pearl comes up with a defensive strategy on Hubbard that isn't "let him get a career high in points". Anything past that.... ehhhhhh

You might be right. I don't follow social media stuff but if he was posting and showing signs of being manic that would be a step towards diagnosis. What we've seen on the court is mostly just bad temperament, at least to my eyes.

CBM was a headcase, but he was our headcase.

It is rather bizarre to witness a grown dude have such an issue with remaining level. Happy as can be when winning, unless someone pushes his buttons. Happy as can be when losing, unless someone pushes his buttons.

You'd think he would realize that everyone knows how to press his buttons at this point, but there is a serious lack of introspection.
Yeah, the games after Hugh was fired pretty much told the story on how crippling his playcalling/scheme was. Not that we were world beaters, but at least there was something going.
GM positions make sense in the NIL era. I know certain mindsets can be grinders but it's too much to keep track of ALL players who could fit the system and your own team on top of that.
Phillip Rivers is the ultimate legacy guy. With all the kids he has, some of them are bound to be good at a sport and NC State has a leg up on each one.

I cannot think of much aside from serious felonies that would have AU tell Cam he's just straight up not welcome here.

Yeah he seems to be doing well for himself in what appears to be a stress-free job. Why anyone would leave rambling on TV and podcasts to a pressure-cooker and probably lower paid gig at AU is beyond me


His TV show got canceled recently, maybe this is why he is interested now :lol:
