They also were in a position with their relationship to the auburn program to put a fast halt to persons actions." THIS^^^ Two ex-star basketball players' son allegedly engaged with another ex-star player/coach in a money scheme. This is a bad look. A VERY bad look.

I thought it was the parents involved in this scheme, not the players. Am I wrong about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where the glimmer of hope is creeping in that this is like the Cecil situation though. I doubt this will end as favorably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fraid not..... the NCAA pretty much put an end to "Cecil" kind of things.....no more deniability. Everyone involved knew what they were doing to AU.....and for so little money. AU doing the right thing now....I was afraid someone would try to just bluff it out by saying they could not identify the players but that would have been pretty weak. Worse still....some coaches or players in the future would be the ones to pay the penalty when it finally hit the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,823 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I guess we shouldn't have really expected anything different. Are other schools implicated also holding out players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question.........Louisville was the one that got hit hardest...coach, AD and at least one recruit who will not show up and same at some other schools.....seems mostly it involved recruits, not active players. .

The only up side if there is one.....is that their problem should be just a one year thing....since likely neither would have been back next season anyway. BP just has to accelerate whatever plan he had to replace them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investigations are slow processes and I'm thinking the odds are they will both try to find a professional job in the US or overseas. Just an opinion but what I would do in their shoes. I think you are exactly right. Look for them to leave at the end of the semester. For those that think this team can overcome this type loss and still make a run for the NCAA, I want some of those orange colored glasses that you have. This is a big setback for the season and the program. Feel bad for Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slot can be filled but can the potential talent be replaced? Hard to believe this was alumni that did this to Auburn. Disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that anyone that CP was regularly in contact with....... pretty much have to start fresh I guess? Will be interesting to see what Montgomery does? not sure if he already made a decision?

Tiger 8,823 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I hope Bruce doesn't leave for another school in which he doesn't have to answer freaking FBI questions when he's out recruiting. Lol get ready for the TV broadcasts to mention Chuck Person and the FBI case in every single one of our games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Very true that these two could be reinstated soon though. I don't think this is a death sentence for this season or for those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will all 3 rebound better than their size but we will still be hurting on the glass IMO. I do expect we will be a tad better on the glass than last year pre-Wiley but I also expect us not to win many rebounding battles once we start conference play. I don't think we have a player taller than 6'8 in the rotation. We're going to have to small teams to death IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
