Davion transferring?
- Thread starter Big Blue
- Start date
I’ll have myself convinced of this soon enough. For now I’m sad.
On Mac transferring, I’d think that would be dependent on Wiley returning. And I wonder if his injury had an impact on his transfer possibilities. Chuma is odd because I could easily see him starting next year if he improves some in the offseason. I could see him taking Murray’s spot and Murray being a great bench guy. And with Davion leaving, that should alleviate some of the PT issues at the 3 guard spots, thus limiting the chances of someone like Purifoy taking minutes at the 4. So him transferring for PT don’t necessarily make much sense.
Rodney’s nuggets are the pits. I mean, I appreciate them and all. But just the worst.
no hard feelings OP, but I’ll be putting you on ignore temporarily so this thread doesn’t show up for me
Someone explain why Chuma would transfer? He'd have to sit out all of next year. Then the year after that he would undoubtedly be starting for us.
There is no explanation unless weird stuff is going on behind the scenes.
My guess is Purifoy returning could fall into his position and eat some of his minutes. With Mitchell leaving and the expectation that Purifoy will play 2 or 3 exclusively, that might change his mind. A transfer when he would play significant minutes or possibility start this coming season makes little sense.
Yeah I fully expect Chuma to earn the starting 4 spot over Murray. Danjel doesn’t want to play the 4 so he’s taken himself out of that competition and has to sit 9 games. Chuma should get 20-25 mins a game easily and be our star player as a Jr so I simply would not allow him to leave.
I think we are just getting a harsh lesson in the challenges of an elite program. All these kids want to go to the NBA and want to posture for more PT and whatnot after the season.

The lesson is much harsher due to our recruiting being handcuffed by the FBI stuff. Hopefully Pearl hits the road sooner rather than later
True. Trying my best to brush this one off but if we have another I may just need to wash my hands of Boog athletics.
I don't think our recruiting is being all handcuffed by the FBI stuff (at least not from what we have seen at this point). Even before that, we were always taking a small class for 2018 and focusing more on 2019 (bigger class).
I haven't read a thing recruiting-wise for 2018, so assumed that was the case I guess. Odd we didn't have any sort of visiting updates or anything like that on tbb. Especially considering the attrition in CBB. Could be dead wrong
It’s a good decision for Mitchell. There’s a good chance he may have not even have started as a senior with the talent we will start getting.
I think we basically shut it down for 18 after the Chuck stuff. Although it’s an historically bad class and the 19 guys are all better than anyone we’d have targeted in 18. We may have had a couple guys on the hook if need be but we’d be better off filling holes with a grad tranny or 2 then letting the 19 studs step in.
Well in case you haven’t heard @seaborn56 knows more about X’s and O’s than Bruce. Probably talent evaluations too if I had to guess...
I don’t think it’s the end of the world that he’s leaving but I think it’s very homeristic and optimistic to think that we’re gonna just magically start to consistently pull in better players than Mitchell. Davion is super talented top 50 player
I'm gonna assume the equestrian coach made lascivious advances towards his little brother since This Is Auburn.
I know this was a joke, but on a serious note, Greg Williams is a great dude.
Long term, Davion has much higher upside than Harper does.
Not really sure. Maybe just as simple as him not getting enough done in 10 years here. Haven’t heard anything dubious or rumors of anything bad.
Brett Hawke was my swim camp counselor at AU while he was still a student there. Really nice guy
