******Official Boog BBall 'Crootin Thread*******
- Thread starter MomentInTheSun
- Start date
No Twitter Tuesday but I’m pretty certain I’ll be on the Wednesday leftovers. No shame in that I guess
I’m going ahead and penciling in this HYG as part of the class... I know we’ve got a couple of other higher rated guards still on the line, but Murrell just feels the most Boog’ish to me
also - I reserve the right to do a complete 180 should Steven decide to let Murrell down softly and procure a different guard instead... but for now, it’s Murrell for me
Bruce is a fuggin busy man this week
No. Don’t think it means we’re far behind but he was certainly never a guarantee. So you gotta keep crootin centers until one commits
Plus WK is probably a 1nD type player and Cliff could RS or play as a frosh + a year or two.
Not the answer I was hoping for
It was a strong question. If it wasn’t for all the Nike money running through college hoops he’d be all boog no doubt.
Bruce clearly putting the full court press on this child
obviously would love to have Green but never really thought he was a true possibility. Even getting this stud on campus shows that the Pearls are working hard and the Clam houses a legit program. Maybe we fair better with Mr. Brown instead.
Pretty smart of Mark Few not to show his face around the child the same day BRUCE goes in home. Suspect K knows better as well.
And I just want to note the pride I feel for this thread far surpassing the huthut crootin thread.
Check out the War Room/Hoops Scoops
Most of the stuff, you guys have already covered but it’s content. Im thinking whatever happens with Omoruyi is a good indication of where we stand with Kessler. Are we planning on taking two bigs?

Losing both Austin and Mac this season. If you can take both Omoruyi and Kessler I would.
(Will you cut and paste for the banded please)
I think they’ll just take one big. Would’ve taken two if shit with Akingbola had gone belly up. But with him on the team now. You add one more true 5 and you’ll probably see one of Jaylin Williams or Javon Franklin act as the small ball stretch 5 too
HOOPS SCOOPS
Auburn coach Bruce Pearl and assistant Steven Pearl both made an in-home visit Thursday night with five-star center
Walker Kessler. And from everything I’ve been told, the visit went extremely well.

Kessler is fresh off an official visit to Duke and any momentum gained by the Blue Devils last weekend was halted by the Pearls on Thursday. Auburn continues to feel good about Kessler despite the recent push from Duke. In fact, I expect Kessler to be back in Auburn very soon (see below).
SEPT. 27-29 = HUGE
Auburn will have its ring ceremony during the football game against Mississippi State and several top recruits are expected to be there to witness it. That includes Kessler,
Cameron Thomas and
Jalen Green. Oh, and five-star point guard
Sharife Cooper, too.

Yes, Cooper (15), Kessler (19), Thomas (28) and Green (3), four of the top 28 recruits in the 2020 class, are expected to be in Auburn in two weeks. All four could be on official visits and even more 2020, 2021 and 2022 recruits will be on unofficial visits. Talk about a big weekend.
And while we’re talking about Cooper – Bruce Pearl, Ira Bowman and Steven Pearl made an in-home visit with him Monday night. Again, it went extremely well. Auburn is battling Kentucky, but continues to feel very good about its chances with Cooper.
2 OVs THIS WEEKEND
Auburn will have two official visitors on campus this weekend in four-star shooting guard
Matthew Murrell and four-star center
Clifford Omoruyi.
Auburn has made moves for both of these guys, but maybe more so with Murrell. The No. 44-ranked player in 2020 has long been considered a Vanderbilt lean because his former coach is now a coach at Vanderbilt. However, that no longer appears to be the case.

Ole Miss is in this. So is Florida. But Auburn may have the most momentum here. Wes Flanigan has been working Murrell very hard and has the Tigers at or near the top of Murrell’s list.
We should know more on where Auburn stands after this weekend. The same can be said for Omoruyi.

hope memphis swoops in and steals thsi child from Bama
No homo, but it appears BRUCE has a semi, and so would I if surrounded by those future HYGS. Also pretty ingenious on the part of our AD to try & help the huthut program using such opportunities.
