OT: AUBURN BASKETBALL

Tate has stated that Stretch is a Horace Spencer clone and appears to be of the opinion that not signing him isn’t a big deal.

Can someone please explain to me who this stretch character is? I am behind on my boog b-ball cruiting.
 
That shoulda come with a NSFW warning with all that studness going on in that vid. Also I've been away for a minute and since you're our hoops go to homie, what's with this BS by Tater about Stretch?

"We fully expect power forward target Stretch Akingbola to re-classify to the Class of 2018, but we're still not sure if Auburn will sign him. The Tigers have designs on signing at least two graduate transfers for the 2018-19 season — one guard and one big. The roster may have a very different look and dynamic by the time all is said and done"
 
How many AU athletes have been more paid that last 20 years than Marquis? CAM obviously. I guess a couple Boog baseball players. Dude made like $50M in the lig now he’s lowkey chillin with Bruce and the boys. Pretty sweet.
Only ones that come to mind are probably...

CAM
Josh Donaldson
Karlos
Carlos
GRob
King Dunlap
Tim Hudson
Caddy
Ronnie
JCam
 
I’d guess our fan base is no more ignorant than any other - but jesus christ @ some people freaking out every time a kid wants to get a draft evaluation

just because it’s been a generation since we had anyone good enough to ask for an evaluation is no excuse to continually misunderstand what’s happening here

and even if 6 kids leave and/or go pro - guess what? that’s what happens at major conference “basketball schools”... and BRUCE is one of the, I don’t know, 8-10 most qualified corches in the entire country to replace that kind of roster churn

if you want to attach yourself to guys for 3-4 years, go follow Virginia or Gonzaga... the BRUCE experience isn’t for you

I’m just not seeing a scenario where we don’t have room for him at this point. I’ll presume JG didn’t totally pull that out his ass I guess. I supposse it wouldn’t really surprise anyone if BP had his eyes on some elite studs we don’t know about though.

If they can find a true young center to sit out this season as a transfer, then that's the only way I can see Bruce passing on Akingbola. With Wiley and Horace definitely gone after next season, we're gonna need someone with experience to play with Mac, and with the way things are going there's no guarantee Mac will be at AU either.

Wanna know the scary thing? The 247 board makes tbb look totally sane on it understanding of college basketball and our current situation.

And tbb is terrible on this subject.

Him and Harper look so dumb for this level of stupidity and lack of self awareness. My God. Maybe Bruce wants them to do this to humble themselves???
I really think you should post more. A lot more. You've piqued my interest.

Doing some boog sleuthin:

I was told tonight by someone very involved in this situation that Austin will return to Auburn unless he gets a FIRST ROUND assessment from the NBA.

I'll flip if we don't sign Stretch. I know that we will but he's a stud and all his bros on that HS/ AAU team are studs and future boogs.
Tater my 2 posts back to back replying to different posters saying that Stretch is Horace Spencer v1.1.

I don't have the huge issues with the moderators on tbb that many here do, but I couldn't post on that board during hoops season. Period. It's just painful. Meltdowns over everything constantly. No understanding of the sport at all. It's exhausting just trying to read the posts, much less interact when it concerns basketball.

I'll be mad if you guys haven't held this thing together by the time we tipoff again.

we only have to hold on for another 4ish months and then we'll be back right into football season. I think The Greg will be fine

I think another disappointing football season will keep us all together.
 
8-4. Winning games by 30 over bad/flawed middle tier SEC squads will calm some people down. Not I. If we aren’t winning big games with this defense we are crap.
I honestly don’t know if we get to 8 wins this season. I believe our offense is going to be really bad. I’m basing that solely off poor RT, LT, and C play though. JS still has a problem hanging onto the ball, and if he does that shit this season he’s going to be taken off on a stretcher.
