OT: 2021-2022 AUBURN BASKETBALL

Wasn’t expecting much from this child this year but word around the internet is he’s upped his game significantly.

I feel like Bruce has done this before. Where he publicly praises rotational guys that probably won't get much playing time. Almost like a way of saying "I really appreciate you and want you to stick around even though you won't play much this year"

Reminds me a little of the Malik times. He wasn’t always great but there was never a time when Bruce didn’t want him and love him because of what he gave us behind the scenes. Not to say their personalities are the same necessarily but you don’t have to be great every night to get love and respect from your teammates. Seems like Moore has it.

Me three months ago:

While I'd thoroughly enjoy a 40-0 season, it wouldn't be disappointing to have a loss or two going into March. No need for the added pressure of an undefeated run.


Powell gone, Sharife gone, Thor gone, Alexander gone.

Me today:

Flanny is still such an under appreciated stud by boog nation. Suspect BRUCE will get the big chaulk in the first rd mix as well.

between Devan, Jaylin, and either KD or Desi we’ve got 3 potential Malik’s to come in and swing a game on their own... then there’s Zep and Dylan who can swing games with their devastating good looks... with Moore and Stretch making sure no one can take anything for granted or they’re gonna be ready to take those minutes

and those are the bench pieces
KD = Malik. Dylan has definitely been a guy who could come in and make a difference.
Gatdamn hope Wendell can throw that lob like Sharife. Showtime at the Clam set to make its glorious return.
Yes, yes he can and it has.
He thicc and Steven gonna get the child to lose the lingering UGA baby fat and whatever lameness from being around Tom Crean for a year.

Thought I was honkin a bit when we landed this child but he’s way up there on all the transfer ratings. Stats are super legit. Film checks out. Gonna be a stud.
No honking.
My excitement level for this team is kinda scary. We have so many great pieces, and if they can all gel together and work as a group, it seems there are few teams that can match up with us across the board.
Oh they gel’n.
 
Personally, I’m not a big Kessler guy. Bro seems like a bitch.

I don’t understand the pursuit of Kessler. I just don’t get it. Especially if we get Thor back

I’d have Thor back over Kessler in a heartbeat but that’s just my opinion

Most definitely. He’s better at everything than Kessler other than having a wide body.

The internet seems to be indicating Kessler is going back to UNC which coincides with my personal policy on not wanting any chaulkies in our regular rotation.

I would generally agree, but Mac MaClung entered the portal yesterday and I would be willing to make an exception for him

Thor is baby Chuma. With an offseason, he could become full on Chum 2.0. I just don't think Kessler will ever get utilized the way people think he would. I'm perfectly happy with Jay Magic running the stretch 5 and Cardwell coming in to push people around in the paint

That's odd. Thor started multiple games at the 5 and no way Kessler starts over Jaylin.
Gang, I wasn't looking for this but I found it while looking for something else. I hope we can all take a moment to laugh at how poorly we evaluated the ChAUlk StAUr (TM pending).

Ahem...

I really like Thor and certainly hope he returns, but I don't think he starts over Kessler at the 5. In Kessler's 2 games where he got 20+ minutes this year for UNC, he put up huge numbers. I would bet he and Jabari both play 25+ minutes in competitive games next year. If Thor comes back, he's versatile enough to play the 3-5 which would make him an incredible 6th man.

last season stunk for all sorts of reasons. But i do feel like people tend to forget just how good some individual players were just because it was a bad season. Thor would've been a monster this year. He averaged 11 6.2 and 1.8 blocks in sec play last year as an 18 year old. He was a beast

Would have still been a tourney team in my mind if everyone was healthy and available all year. And we didn’t ban ourselves too I guess. Last year sucked anyway though. Sharife and Thor would easily be 2 of the best players in the country if they came back.

For sure. He’s playing in the NBA. He was a stud. It does stink that we never had last year’s squad at full strength.
 


Time for BRUCE and his HYGs and the bored to get that swag back. Y’all have a great one. Time to set that tone!!
