I heard some good stuff on Danjel yesterday.
There was someone on the bunker who said he was cleared to play next year, and the best basketball insider over there, jhead, liked the post. I took that as a good sign for Purifoy. And if that’s the case, I think that’s a good thing for Bruce as well.
God I want all these studs back to Boog next year so bad. I’d do anything to make it happen. ANYTHING.
What a wild ride it'd be for Danjel if he plays for the Boogs again next year. Suspended a year, plays a year, suspended a year, plays a year. I can't imagine many other kids if any having a similar college career as that.
He's still going to have to sit out a couple games next year and then be ready to go.
I dun herd Coach Ganus took 4 THOMPSON linebackaz to tour University of Memphis Saterday. Did Yore guy go?
Danjel has been cleared for next year. I'm happy for him.
Someone on tbb alluded to a short suspension next year. Heard anything about this or cleared from day 1?
Awesome. Happy for him.
Any thoughts or heard any rumblings on the roster and possible attrition via the draft or guys transferring out?
He posted it on the bunker as well. Dropped the skinny on the Greg and then took it there.
great news on Danjel... so happy for him, and can’t wait for everyone who shit on him so much last year to have it shoved down their throats when he’s fully healthy and can Boog freely without feeling the pressure of needing to do it all himself
so now the dominoes still to fall are:
Austin?
Stretch re-classifying?
any defections?
and if the first 3 all fall poorly, any grad transfers?
as things stand right now, we’re at 11 ravishing Boogs for next year... time for Austin to hop on the train and we can just go ahead and fast forward to October and forget about stupid football

Man, this team could be something special with that 11-12 man group. We'd have a little of everything on that team, and Bruce would have some crazy good depth.
Haven't heard anything, but I don't really see the point of him having to sit a few extra games when he's already had to sit out an entire year. But nothing would surprise me at this point. My guess is he would be eligible from the start though.
Only WUN BALL DOE!!!
Tuff to have an 11 or 12 man rotation. I thought we wuz Betta dis yeer because we only had an 8-9 man rotation.
Wouldn't be surprised if we've seen the last of Mustapha. And that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. If he's smart he stays but who knows what he will do. And obviously Austin will depend on his draft grade. I think Austin's best bet would be to come back if he won't be a first rounder. There's a lot of really good big men coming out this year. He's a smart kid and loves Auburn so I think he will make the right decision.
Good point. A 12 man rotation is too much. Will be an interesting off season to see what happens to everyone. Would be a good problem to have though.
Bluebloodproblems.
If everything else fell into place I can see how Stapha might struggle to play the role that would be best for us. He's not going to come back to lower his averages and see less PT, but that might be the best team scenario just due to depth. We can play crazy frenetic and press and trap and still be fresh because we're rotating 10-11 guys with little drop off. I don't see him being happy in that scenario.
If he returns I hope he spends time working on post game stuff. When smaller dudes are on him and teams try to play man he needs to punish them on the block. That's where he's got a size/skill advantage. Trying to take those smaller guys off the dribble from outside or pull up for long 2's over them is wasteful IMO.
It's more me loving what Samir will bring than wanting to slight Staph. Staph is consistent but he loves the slowdown isolation, 1 on 1 basketball. Nothing wrong with that but the problem is he scores maybe 1/3 of the time when he does it and there's 4 other guys out there that don't play the same way. He's a below average defender, doesn't make other players better and he gets selfish. Samir is high energy, quick and a good defender. He just seems like a Bruce Pearl player. Could very seriously see him leading the team in scoring next year. Staph is solid and is a starter as long as he is here but I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to go make some money somewhere. And I don't think we would be worse off with Samir and Danjel getting his minutes.
