OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

From the lunatic board (PAM):

Austin Wiley and those close to him were caught by surprise Thursday when the NCAA said he would not be eligible to play again until next season, but they have a plan.

Auburn will appeal the NCAA’s decision, and that appeal is scheduled to be heard on Jan. 23. Should it be unsuccessful, Wiley’s plan is to remain in school, declare for the NBA draft but not hire an agent. If he projects as a first-round pick, he will likely go into the draft and his college career will be over. If he does not, he will then make a decision between returning to Auburn to play next season or going to Europe to play professionally.

According to the NCAA’s release announcing its decision, Auburn self-reported activity involving recruiting, extra benefits and agent-related activity. The extra benefits and agent-related activity relate to the charges against Person. It is uncertain what recruiting violations were reported. Auburn does not expect program-crippling sanctions, though there is never certainty in NCAA matters.

In any event, any NCAA action in that regard is far in the future.
I hate Vickie Orr so much.
 
I don’t see the kid going to Europe. My expert opinion is there’s a pretty decent chance he’d come back next year. Ya done fugged up royally if you risk getting picked in the 2nd rd when you can assure yourself 1st with another year. It’s not like the NFL. Going in the 2nd is a disaster.

Agreed. He would 20 years old at the 2019 draft. Not like he would be past his prime or anything

30% chance they both play for the Boogs next season

40% chance only one plays for the Boogs next season

30% chance neither laces it up for the Boogs again
 
Interesting. Hoke felt strongly about it so I assume he talked to someone.

Regardless, hopefully this Hooks guy keeps helping us land the studs
Hooks is the one that led and encouraged the email campaign to Leath. He maintains that it helped.

I'm sure he was hearing from the Pearl side that things were getting bad and he needed support. In reality, both sides just needed to come together and Pearl needed to talk. Sounds like that happened at least to a somewhat satisfactory way.

Hooks boogs out hard, but he knows what's up.

I enjoy that Boogs has become both a noun and a verb

I’m a little more optimistic. I think a little better than 50/50 for each Boogin again.

Neither is gonna choose to go to Europe. Only way that might happen is if Austin stays in the draft and doesn’t go in the first or if Danjel is ruled permanently ineligible.
 
Kid was gonna be a first round draft pick this year. $11K isn’t worth jeopardizing your sons future. She’s a POS and if you disagree that’s fine, but. I don’t give a fvck.
Agreed...would have thought being around b-ball for most of their lives , they would have known it wasn't worth it, but i guess we're all human. (well maybe not @GregMadia )

Yeah. I don't think either of them go to Europe. Hopefully Bruce can use his salesmen skills to convince all these kids to stay in boog town bc they have the opportunity to do something really special.
 
With Samir, danjel, and Wiley..I'm thinking Auburn has the best scout team in the country.
Scout team has been and will be a big part of this team's success, but also probably the reason the team was a bit winded only three games into the SEC schedule. Word is that Austin was abusing boogs yesterday at practice.

I would think that being around BASKETBALL for most of their lives they would have know it's just standard operating procedure.
You’re acting like this justifies her actions. Which is idiotic. She screwed her son and the university she attended by doing this shit.

What if he had a career ending injury? Every other university she could have sent her son to would have paid him tons of money to attend there. Why shouldn't they get a piece of the pie just because Boog U can't even cheat right?

Dude, quit acting like you really care about her potentially 'damaging Austin's future.' We all know that's some insincere bs on your end. You're mad bc she potentially deprived you of enjoying seeing Austin help create a dominant AU bball squad.
Well fvcking duh

I’m just saying she’s a POS for that. I don’t care about his future I just want AU in the final four

Nice. Just taking out his anger about the NCAA ruling on his bros.

Somebody get up in here and answer this for me about RPI & how it all works. We play the Ole Misses twice & UF only once, so it is good that OM beat them today, or so I would think? Do we not need every conference team we play twice to beat teams we only play once? Or does this not even matter so much?
