World of upside to Auburn commit — Corey Evans (@coreyevans_10) December 22, 2016 EJ Montgomery playing like he drank spoiled milk. Hardest I've seen the Auburn commit play.

looney 794 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 So, Wiley is an AU legacy and Montgomery has a sister here at AU. That's awesome, and Kudos to Pearl for capitalizing on the family connection breaks to get talented kids to come to our program... But... We really can't rely on those types of things going forward, can we? Hopefully we do well enough with these guys on campus that it builds momentum and 5* guys with no prior connections to AU take notice. I hope this post doesn't paint me as anything other than ecstatic about this kid's commitment or any of the sudden influx in talent. I'm simply struck by the coincidence of the timing of some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charhair 345 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 This kid is perfect for CBP imo. Even when he's completely gassed (looking really tired at least) he's still hustling down court each time and picks up a lot of blocks/assists/rebounds/steals just by hustling to get in the right place in transition. He can also pull up and shoot and has extremely pretty touch on his passes. Kudos to CBP, he hasn't quit or become satisfied with what he has. He seems to be building quite the program down here.

I'm always a little over my head when I try to comment on anything on the basketball forum. I'm admittedly not a hoops guy but I love all things Auburn and I'm giddy with the success Pearl is having making folks take notice of our program.

gravejd 3,263 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 very nice. Love hearing the future continues to look bright! Imagine what Pearl will do if he can start winning some games on the court! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,104 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It looks like we will be getting a great player. While I doubt it will happen I hope Wiley stays around one more year after next so we could have two dominant big men on the floor at the same time.

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 We are going to be like Ole Miss in football at this point. Nobody is going to want to go here until everything has been settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 You can't blame the kid for decommitting when you don't know what is going on, HOWEVER... Maybe this is not the end of the world. If CBP survives then maybe he still comes to AU. There is so much uncertainty and speculation going on right now it is hard to see past it all. But there is a chance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
