******Official Boog BBall 'Crootin Thread*******

Reminds me of a time when Luper and Trooper would give some info about kids and our "insiders" who had contact with those coaches would run with it and then get torched 3 months later. Those 2 guys could recruit but they often exaggerated their ability too. I wonder if someone on the staff has gotten a little overconfident and isn't really reading the landscape all that well right now. Or some of these insiders are just hearing nuggets and getting caught up in the excitement and don't understand that "leading" for a Jared Harper or Chuma type might not work out the same as leading for a Top Ten ranked kid. The game changes at that level.

I believe we're going to be better in recruiting than we've been, but I'm hesitant to believe we're gonna put a Fab Five type of class together because that just seems like a stretch even for Bruce.
I noticed that Jayden Stone posted a picture of Pearl visiting him a few days ago. He is probably a back up plan right now, yet he is still a top 50 player on every site.

I don’t think he’s a backup plan. Bruce will probably take three guards in this class and I’d bet they’d take his commitment

ok gang - just wanna go ahead and get out in front of this one

Sharife is still the most desirable HYG in the history of the known world... CAM is the only Auburn related croot I’ve ever lusted after more, and if I’m being honest there’s probably a tad of revisionist history there

anyhoo... Boston has been a close 2nd for months... Auburn has never signed a player like him - just an unstoppable 6’6”+ scoring machine

but... it both saddens and excites me to say he’s been supplanted by Greg Brown... originally listed as a SF but growing nicely into the prototypical BRUCE 4... still has those wing skills, but attacks the basket with such ferocity that he’s the perfect modern frontcourt player... we all know the 4 is the showcase spot when the BRUCE train is running at peak power... it’s why Precious Chuma was so key for our run and why, for more than a year all of us here have been saying we’ll go as far as he can take us and just waited patiently for him to realize it too

adding either as a 2nd piece to Sharife will be HYG overload... but, gun to my head, give me Brown... he’s the 2nd most H of all the YG’s in the galaxy and I just want to get that on record early

The things Bruce and Steven could do with a stud like that my goodness.

I’m kinda swooning on this Jaemyn Brakefield youngster. Kinda looks and plays like Chuma. Lefty. Maybe a mix of Chuma and EJ so could fill 2 holes in my heart. Not that anyone could ever replace Dr C but would be a nice add if Chuma stays in the draft.
 
Hooks continues to lay it on thick regarding Cooper being a lock. At some point is this overkill that could sour the kid on AU? He may be a lock, but he doesn’t want to commit yet otherwise he would have. Seems like it would be advisable to let him go through the process and commit when he’s ready.

 
I’m sure if it was a problem then Bruce would kindly tell him to stfu. But yeah, I’ve kind of soured on this Hooks fella. Seems kind of like a dude that just popped his cherry and now can’t shut up about it. And his tweet after Tiger won the masters was just mind numbingly douchetastic

Yeah, am I the only one dreading the Charles Robinson story about an overzealous Hooks bringing down the program?

I don’t think he or his 14 likes on that tweet are going to have much affect on Sweet Sharife

your larger point stands though

nah, just really tough to get a visa in our country. would have been easier if he had remained in the US.
Man I’d pay a few e-bucks to know who the idiot is that sent this HYG back to Africa to be stranded for over a year. Kid should have a year with Bruce under his belt. Would be a chiseled shot blockin, 3 drainin machine by now.
 
247 is reporting that 5 star G Nimari Burnett is checking out Bruce and considering if he's handsome enough to come boog.



 
Do we want Jayden Stone? He's certainly not as handsome as the other guard prospects.
Hard yes on that. Not a traditional beauty we’re used to but he’s got that austral mulatto/ Ben Simmons ethnicity that adds to the allure.

Now if he’s trying to reclass I’d say no room at the boog we got 2 spots one is for Rayjon and one if for a big.

So what is your opinion on next year's class? especially at the guard position...
