OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

I agree. It’s overboard. UNC has fake classes and gets nothing
Let’s be fair most of college (and Highschool) is a waste. I can only think of 3-4 college courses that were worth the time to take. All it does is prove you have enough commitment to get a piece of paper to get a foot in the door. (Specialty fields like MDs excluded)
 
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.
Slapha iz Juzt so much BETTA than DANJEL.
Will be interezzztin if STAPHA comes back to see dat HEWJ ROTATION.
 
if Danjel is back and Austin is back, I’m fine with Mustapha leaving

it wouldn’t hurt us from a depth perspective and the minutes/shots would fall into place so much easier

even if Austin isn’t back, I’d trade Stapha for Samir and Danjel assuming no other defections

too many pieces on the board to know what to root for and how it will all work out, but Danjel is going to help way more than people are giving him credit for right now
 
Purifoy has a higher ceiling imo
I'm not az high on PURIFOY az uthaz. He duz potenshully have a high ceiling.
Juzt thawt we struggled wit ball mooovment when he played hiz freshman YEER and he wuz da reazun.
Da bezt news in dis purifoy stuff iz dat BREWCE iz likely back.
 
My biggezt worry iz HARPA SHITTIN THE BED like he did in da NCAA TERNEY!
He went frum bein da BEZT PLAYA on da TEEM to a kid that looked like he wuz scared to kumpeeet on the big stage!!
 
Purifoy has a higher ceiling imo

he’s a better shooter, better athlete, longer defender - and potentially better defender considering we’ve never seen him defend 3’s

Stapha rebounded really well after Mac went down, and is more physical

neither has shown consistent decision making or ball handling so those are a wash

Stapha has been a much more consistent and reliable player... Danjel is a far better athlete, considerably longer, with a higher ceiling, Stapha is just far more likely to reach his ceiling

who will/would be a better fit next year depends a lot on roster construction, but I’m choosing to believe Austin will be back and sticking my fingers in my ears and not listening to anyone who says otherwise right now, and taking Mustapha out of the equation is the 1 move that solves the most problems in that scenario

That is true.

But in my mind, if we’re going to operate under the guise of these being “student-athletes” and not pros, setting up fake classes is a more egregious violation than taking some money

Rodney dropped that info on me Saturday morning. I shared it here first. When Danjel finishes his four years with us he'll been suspended more games than he's played in. You gotta give to the kid for sticking it out after all the bull he's been through.
What does the mighty Rodney think about Samir?

Best news Rodney has brought to The Greg. Good times are upon us. Good thing I’m now a TUF member
 
With Purifoy coming back, I’m curious to see what we do with the 13th scholarship. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us push off Akingbola to next year to make room for a transfer this year, especially if Wiley returns.
 
Wait Purifoy will play next season? But Tater said Danjel would not play basketball in an AU uni again. Just like he promised AU hoops was #moot #toast. if we can't rely on Tater, who do we turn to? He always talks about how he prides himself on not being first but being right when reporting on stuff.

Got to think one of Malik/Murray may not be with the team if we get Wiley and Purifoy back. Also if Staph decides to stick around Malik should never see the floor with Purifoy/Staph/Samir.

I thank we gunna see atttrishun and we probly need to. An 11 man rotation ain't no good. We don't need to looze MURRAY thoe. He ain't GRATE but he da only wun dat played wit a set of BALLZ againzt a good KLEMPSUN TEEM.

Murray was pretty bad the last half of the year. He became a liability offensively.

But we have to have 11 guys on the bench next year. We can't go into the season with another 9-man rotation and only 9 guys to fill it. We're going to run into an injury again. So we need the depth to be able to overcome that injury.

Agree with all of this. I personally am excited to see a Danjel that Bruce doesn't have to play because we have so much depth. I think it could unlock his potential. He could also get pissy and be a waste, but for some reason I don't think that will happen.

Undastand yore point. I'm juzt saying RARELY do GOOD kollege teemz ROTATE 11 guys. Generally you got 8 or 9 pretty good playaz and then 2 or 3 token white guyz that averaged 8 pointz a game at Veztavia or Muntgomery Academy or sumthang similar.
If STAPHA stayz, I wood not be serprized if sumbody like a DUNBAR and sumbody elze tranzferred out.
Ain't gotta klue wut Wiley will do but shirley peepel are telling him to STAY. That DAWG ain't reddy foe da NBA at all.
