I’d assume that he’s closer to 6-5 or 6-6 than his listed 6-7. Could still be growing but I assume he’s the heir apparent to Chuma

love the skill set and BRUCE has been on him hard for a while so I’m sold - but he’s not “leap off the screen at you” explosive
very smooth... very skilled... 3-4 year player that you really build a program with... but I’ll be more comfortable the taller he gets and closer to the basket he can play
I think he’ll be a monster once he gets in a college weight program. Kid comes from a town of 1k people and a super rural small HS. Doubt he’s ever really lifted or trained in his life
Found this perusing the Internet:
Auburn hosts key prospects
Auburn already has the No. 8 recruiting class nationally with pledges from Isaac Okoro, Allen Flanigan and Babtunde Akingbola. They’ll look to add to their committed list this weekend, as they host two of their top remaining targets.
Four-star forward Jaylin Williams and four-star guard Tyrell Jones will both take their official visits to Auburn.
Auburn is considered the leader for both based on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. Six of the seven predictions for Williams have picked Auburn, while all six logged predictions for Jones have picked the Tigers. If they added both, the Tigers would have the No. 4 overall class in the country.
To go with those important official visits, Auburn is also slated to host some key underclassmen. Top three 2020 prospect Anthony Edwards and top three 2021 recruit Jonathan Kuminga will both be in town, which is significant.
Other visitors include Moulaye Sissoko, Bretner Mutombo, Rafael Pinzon, Michael Thomas, Emareyon McDonalds, Franke Anselem, Elias King, Dalen Ridgnal and MiKale Stephens.
+++++
Studs galore. Thought the Massoud kid was visiting maybe just an oversight.

The Massoud kid's visit became questionable because they weren't sure if he would be able to fly home due to the hurricane.
i feel like this is getting overlooked gang. The AOT twitter account liked my post suggesting their AAU team should just be AU's farm league team. Went through their "like" too on twitter and there was nothing else like it for other schools.
this monster child is on campus right now listening to Bruce's silver tongue
Jesus even his teammates were like damn that’s too hard.
Bruce is everywhere. Along with with Steven and presumably Flanagan. Haven’t seen much of the new guy from Penn.
Between BJ Boston, Anthony Edwards, and this child, Bruce is going after all the top 2 guards in that class.
Jaylin Williams committed to boogs
young man needs to add some definition and quick. Those arms are boderline prepubescent.
Well that didn’t take long. Bruce being Bruce. I’m greedy though I want another. Bruce probably give us 2 or 3 more cause thats who he is.
Stephen gonna turn this youngster into a chiseled beast. Watched a clip of him and he’s a lefty so I know he’ll be a stud even though the stroke is a little clunky right now.

“I did it last night,” Williams said. “I always liked the SEC and then it’s not far from home. I thought it was the best fit for me. The whole coaching staff is pretty cool.”
Williams, a standout at Nahunta (Ga.) Brantley County, also strongly considered College of Charleston, Georgia, Mississippi State and St. John’s, before opting for Bruce Pearl and the Tigers. Williams said his decision really hit him earlier this month."
sorry @MomentInTheSun hate to take this kid from CoC but it's for the greater good

Here’s some tape on the newest Boog. Play by play from the best in the biz:
look at Bruce still refusing to wear those new dumbass under armor polos.
His mother played basketball at Auburn.
interesting. With her and Wes Flannigan having kids the same age, you'd think they're proably the same age and know each other form their time playing at Au. Surely that'd help.
Says he had a great visit, but plans on signing in Spring. Says he is not sure when he will commit. Has two more OVs set up, UL and OM
Unfortunate. Hope he reconsiders. Feel like he’s at the top of our board but I’m sure Bruce could procure a similar talent early if he wants.
Ugghhh. I’m sure plenty of coaches have been all in his ear about how Harper is a 4 year player. I’m okay with missing on him as long as Jared absolutely stays his senior year.
Not sure how that would really hurt us, though (Jared being a 4-year player).
Yeah. I want Jared to stay 4 years absolutely but it’s already shown that he’s making it difficult in crootin pgs. Davion left and then they couldn’t get a grad transfer in that was willing to play behind Jared. I think ideally they didn’t want a 2 year Juco in McCormick but that’s what happened. It is all setting up for the Boogs to get Cooper though (assuming he doesn’t reclassify).
I understand that, but was just saying wasn't sure how Harper being a 4 year guy hurting for this class. I agree on the last class. But the 2019 PH we sign would get the play with Harper before taking over (or competing with Cooper). So since none of the guys we are recruiting is a one and done type at PG in the 2019 class, I would think Harper being a senior next year would help more than. It would hurt, since he would be gone their soph year. JMO
when you're not forced to stay in school for at least 3 years like in football, I just think bball recruits prioritize early PT A LOT. If a kid knows he's gonna sit behind Jared for a year, he may see it as a waste when he could've been starting at Ole Miss or something.
We just disagree here. If it was more than one year of having to sit behind Jared it would make more sense, IMO, and I would agree with you. But not for just one year, IMO.
saw that earlier. Hope he still comes to boogtown. I just see a crowded backcourt for him to get pt in as frosh
