In other news, Boog QB recruit Bo Nix getting mixed reviews at the Elite 11 Finals.
“Not great arm strength”
“Questionable mechanics”
“6’1.5” and 190 lbs”
Once upon a time, someone here called him a rich man’s Sean White who’s being vastly overhyped because of who his dad is.

I’ll wait for Trent Dilfer to weigh in before I decide if Nix is the rich or poor version of Smoke White.
Yep. Need to make sure he can paint beautiful pictures with his balls first.
Speaking of SW, is he playing anywhere now? I honestly always liked the kid mainly because of his toughness and his teammates seemed to love him. Not really his fault our mongo HC couldn’t find a better option to play QB...
They have similar size, arm strength and athleticism. What other physically talented metrics could we differentiate them on?
He’s also the exact same size as Tua Tagliova. I really don’t see your point. And Nix’s arm is pretty fire but I’m not sure where you’re pulling that one quote from.
Anyways, the Sean White comparison you made was dumb, lazy, and trollish. It was literally based on nothing other than Nix being white
I simultaneously agree with you BUT also have to admit that a rich man's Sean White doesn't sound that bad to me. I got blasted on tbb for saying that it wasn't so much that he has great arm strength, but instead he has great foot work so he can put all his strength into his passes. There's a big difference between that and being able to flick the ball 40-50 yards effortlessly.

It's on the same level as demeat trying to quantify why Lebron is really just a power player.
“He’s only good at basketball because he’s so big and strong and athletic”
You mean outside of them being roughly the same size, having similar arm strength and similar athleticism?
I agree.
Auburn tends to do very well with those types of QBs on a national level. Especially when we’ll likely be counting on them as freshmen.
(Because we allowed ourselves to be outbid for Fields.)
Just look at these two beautiful studs seducing 5* CB Andrew Booth’s sister at BCW.
Dear God, the Cam/Carlos sandwich.
So. Damn. Jealous.
You're wrong about Bo. I doubt you have ever seen him in person.
I wish rice would come ITT, so he could argue how great Bo is and you could debate how much he sucks. It's great message board comedy when posters act as if they are talent evaluators by watching HUDL highlights.
I hope I’m very wrong about him. We’ll likely be counting on him as a true freshman.
I’m just saying the in-person evals he’s getting at the Elite 11 this week (solely his physical attributes) match up pretty closely with what I’ve always thought about him.
Hope he helps us sign a Top 5 class this year and leads us to multiple SEC titles and playoff appearances.
His dad holds a special place in my heart and is one of my all-time favorite AU players.
Where did you get those quotes from? Here's the first reveiw of his performance that I saw and it completely contradicts two of your concerns:
"No. 8-Bo Nix, Pinson Valley (Ala.). Committed to Auburn -Nix struggled a bit in the roll out drills but looked smooth and efficient the rest of the day. The Auburn commit is another kid who has a pure stroke, very solid mechanically and an effortless release. He has enough arm strength to get the ball down the field but is at his best making the high percentage throws with timing and anticipation."

His eval after Day 1...
“Nix struggled a bit in the roll out drills but looked smooth and efficient the rest of the day. He has enough arm strength to get the ball down the field but is at his best making the high percentage throws with timing and anticipation.”
Just sounds like a kid with an average arm that will need a clean pocket and perfect timing/crisp routes to make plays in the passing game. Not the kind of kid who can just run around in circles avoiding pass rushers and launch TD bombs downfield that we typically win championships with.
I’m skeptical about Gus’s ability to win titles with average size/avg arm strength chalkies. We already tried that with one former Elite 11 MVP and it didn’t work out very well.
Again, hope I’m dead wrong.
Just think. In three or four years we’ll know who really won this argument.

Huntsville area starting to consistently produce some elite tier hoops talent... Petty at BAMA, Langford at Michigan State, now Lewis... I may have to step up and get involved in the bag dropping for this one... the other 2 were solid, talented players - but just weren’t handsome enough to be worth my effort
Young stud sounds like he's coming to AU and he could be bringing another 5 star with him
swoon...
normally the best way to get over someone is to get under someone - and I’m thinking he looks like just what the doctor ordered to find some closure for me and Young Davion... we’ll still be friends, and I’m pulling for him always - but at some point I have to heal and move on
I’d hope that Bruce’s new contract extension and job security helps some of these kids go public soon. I remember having Chuma and Davion like locked like 2 years before they signed. Time to get these studs officially on board
Nice blurb on this future boog stud and hopefully a couple others:

That was a good write up on strech. I hope we can red shirt him. I’d hate to delay his enrollment.
Damn. High praise for all the future Boogs. Already saying Stretch is gonna be an elite nba rim protector is pretty wild
Any news on the new assistant? Hopefully it's Sharman or Charlton.
Id be thrilled with either one of those. But someone said White has actually already left Ga State and went back into the HS ranks. Not sure if that is accurate, but if it is, I wonder if just doesn't like the college coaching life
gonna be nice to see Chris Paul and Clint Capela in the orange and blue... throw in Jaylen Brown and whatever other BRUCE surprises and I weep for the blasphemers who refuse to heed our warnings
High time someone starts an official basketball recruiting thread. Sick of having to wade through all this football BS to get the BB nuggets I crave...
Apparently ran a sub 4.4 40 at camp and dominated. Sounds like this year's sammie Coates/Marcus McClain/Josh Marsh.
Camped, dominated, got an offer
