OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

Yep. Hoops guys just end up going places. It’s not like football. You cannot count on everyone who should logically return making it back. We won’t have all we have this year plus Samir/Danjel/Wiley. It just won’t happen. But adding those 3 and losing 2 guys from this rotation is still a massive W.

Yeah if you look at the roster with everyone available, there are a couple spots where it won’t kill us to lose a guy.

Harper/Mitchell
Brown/Doughty
Heron/Purifoy/Dunbar
Murray/Okeke
Wiley/Mac/Spencer/Akingbola

We could afford to lose Dunbar or Purifoy and Mac or Spencer. That would still leave you with a 10-man rotation and give us a chance to RS Stretch possibly.

It’s all speculative but it’d be such a shame to lose a Guy like Horace. Seems like he’s turned into a real vocal leader and I love the energy and contribution he provides

In my hopeful boog mind, if we make a good run this year and Purifoy and Wiley return next year, guys like Bryce and Horace, who were part of the original group, and the freshman group from last year, who were the foundation of this team now, would want to hang around for one more run at the NCAAT and SEC. Would be a really cool story and a testament to their teammess and to Bruce.

If they both played next year we’d be pre season Top 8. But it ain’t gonna happen. And guess what? We may still be pre season Top 8 next year, depending on how deep we go in March.

The other thing is if they all return we’re in a real fvcked up position for that 2019-2020 season. We’d have 4 seniors leaving, 5 Juniors (some of whom might leave with the Srs), and one scholarship to give to a transfer after this season. IMO it would almost be better if 1-2 leave and clear some space for some transfers to sit out a year and be able to contribute with the freshmen recruits we bring in in 2019.

I think Horace loves AU, and he has a kid that I’m assuming is close to campus, so I don’t think he’d leave unless he was forced out.
 
Bruhs we a top 10 squad next year without Austin. Top 5 maybe #1 with him.

2019 look at that core. It’s so ridic. I’d expect pretty much all our FR and So to still be here. Plug in 3-4 studly FR, maybe a grad tranny. As long as we hold onto BRUCE and don’t let the NCAA bend us over this program is all set.

My Boog heart still hopes maybe EJ sees the light and we make room for him. I mean who the hell wouldn’t want to play for this squad?

I hate to say it, but if Danjel and Austin both are back next year, then Staph needs to go... that frees up the most shots and minutes and we wouldn’t lose any lineup flexibility

Jared/Davion
Bryce/Samir
Danjel/Malik
Chuma/Desean
Austin/Horace/Mac

with the ability for everyone but Austin to slide up 1 spot to go big and still be able to keep everyone happy

I’ll be pulling doubly hard for Staph the rest of the way... it would be great if he turned it on and led us to a Sweet 16/Elite 8 run and did enough to get drafted in the 2nd round... it would help in multiple ways

regardless, as long as BRUCE is here, we’re good to go

Cliffs:

-They think Auburn plays with swagger/confidence which makes them good
-Think Pearl is a really good X's and O's coach, especially compared to Cal
-Think Boogs would be a dangerous team to play
-Think Pearl will get hammered by the Adidas/FBI stuff, although some reasonable people in there agree that Auburn isn't doing anything worse than blue bloods

Gang, just read this on the lunatic board regarding EJ:

Not exactly either. His sister played on the women's team for 4 full years. Her eligibility ended last year. She received a settlement and continued to play. The concern was that the settlement could be misconstrued by the NCAA if her younger brother came to Auburn.. The family was not unhappy with Auburn. Auburn's compliance department had concerns about his recruitment.

That sucks. And if that was a legit concern, then the Boog compliance department should have been able to alleviate their hesitation. My guess is though that the family just wanted the whole story to die to save their daughter from any embarrassment. If EJ came to AU, then the likelihood of the story getting out is way higher

Only at Awbren
 
I posted this on the bunker about how seeds are determined and what it would take to get Auburn a preferred first weekend site like Nashville or Charlotte. This a pretty good explanation with an example using a recent bracket projection.

This is from AUFamily posted by a poster named ellitor. By far the best explanation and example I’ve found.

Well they use an S curve for the overall tournament. The higher you are on the S curve the higher your chances of not having to travel as far. Only 2 top seeds can play at the same location. Also the conjoining 2nd round match up has to travel & play in the same city as its top 4 seed counterpart.

Here are the 1st round host cities

Pittsburgh
Charlotte
Nashville
Dallas
Whichita
Detriot
San Diego
Boise

Using the top 4 seeds from ESPN's most recent bracket here how the teams match up to the cities:

1 Seeds: Nova (Pittsburgh), UVA (Charlotte), Duke (Charlotte), Purdue (Detroit) Charlotte is full
2 Seeds: UNC (Nashville), Kansas (Whichita), OU (Whichita), Mich St (Detriot) Detroit & Whichita are full
3 Seeds: WVU (Pittsburgh), Whichita (Dallas: Can't play @ home in Whichita), Texas Tech (Dallas), Xavier (Nashville) Nasville, Pittsburgh, Dallas are full
4 Seeds: Zona (San Diego), AU (San Diego), Cincy (Boise), Clemson (Boise) San Diego & Boise are full

There are 4 Regional brackets played in the West but only 1 West team is a top 4 seed so 2 teams from the Southeast & Cincy would have to travel West.

Easy bud. Good coach but hasn't done anything close to what Cal has done. And you must be a teenager or you'd understand this Auburn team your watching is experienced. A lot easier if you and countless others hasn't figured out for experienced teams to run plays and run them good.

that’s from the UK board... for the most part they had a good handle on our squad, but aren’t we the 2nd youngest team in the country?

that dudes gonna be in for a surprise next year once we’re actually experienced playing together

Guessing they would have to tell the NCAA the truth and open up the university to MSU type pressures if it came out that they covered up some things that people should have gone to jail for.

After the 2010 boog football season, I thought I'd never root for an SEC team again, but whatever it takes for the boogs to get the highest seed possible, I'm all IN

Jacobs should've been forced to go before the NCAA and explain, "hey, it's ok. we're not buying EJ, we're just paying off his sister so she doesn't talk about the kidnapping that one of our assistant coaches was complicit in. God Bless."
