auburnphan 6,050 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Out of curiosity, with Wiley, are they allowed to use a red-shirt when dealing with his suspension? So wouldn't he be a Junior next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it will matter either way, but that would be something of note if he somehow didn’t leave for the draft after next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,263 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I don't think it matters if Wiley gets to use the redshirt cause he won't be around long enough to use it...but i'd be pretty surprised if NCAA allowed the use of a red-shirt year with a player is suspended. That seems like a loop hole they would have shut already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a loop hole they would have shut already The rule is a player has five years to play four. There is no reason at all why Wiley's 2017/18 season isn't a redshirt year. Like you said, it probably won't matter unless he suffers an injury of some sort, but suspension and the Five to Play Four rule are entirely different matters. There's no qualification on why a player didn't play. If he didn't play, the season counts as a redshirt season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomstick 1,315 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Updated the chart in the OP to reflect the Heron news. I don't expect him to return, although it seems technically possible since he hasn't yet signed with an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 The chart in the OP has been updated to reflect the Murray news. We should start hearing some names of recruits and transfers pop up over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks for the update....The big kid from Georgia...class of 2018 or maybe 2019 is not on the chart....is there a reason? or perhaps because we don't know when he might arrive? Still a lot of holes to fill to have a real 40 minute team. Will be interesting to see what happens in recruiting....guessing some things should happen pretty soon. I don't see an indication of a summer excursion like last year but would be good for incoming players to be here for the summer. And, did not realize Dunbar would be a senior...was thinking due to his inconsistent play that he was a freshman last year. Oh well, maybe in year 2 he will play more under control. He was exciting for sure but you never knew what he might do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m almost positive he’s going to reclassify and be on the roster next season but didn’t want to jump the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle2423 357 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Are we looking at anybody who can play the 1 (point guard) for next year? Harper is going to be our only one next year as it stands. Was curious of the chances that we are going to bring in a grad transfer or incoming freshman to give us some depth behind Harper next year.

We are in the market for a GT PG/CG. We were looking at Justin Coleman, but he ended up at Arizona. Gotta find somebody willing to be a 5-8 mpg type guy to fill that minor hole in the roster.

auburnphan 6,050 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 So basically we are trading out Heron, Mitchell and Murray for Wiley, Purifoy and Doughty to the rotation......I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomstick 1,315 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I updated the chart in the OP. We don't have a scholarship freshman on the roster for the 2018-2019 season unless Stretch reclassifies, which now doesn't seem as likely. That puts a HUGE emphasis on this 2019 class, which just so happens to be loaded with talent. We will lose 3 seniors, and I think it's likely that Wiley and Purifoy will move on after this season. And I believe we will be short two scholarship players going into the season. So, that could be a total of 7 scholarships available for the 2019-2020 season. We're probably going to take at least 4 HS recruits in this upcoming class and still a transfer/grad transfer or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,100 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If we are going to take 4-5 HS seniors any news on ones we seem to have a legitimate interest in and in which the interest is reciprocated. I have only seen the one PF so far as a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still probably need another HS kind and a couple of veteran transfers to go along with that freshman group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Loblaw 636 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Definitely an interesting topic. Thing about competitive college bball like we just saw this past offseason is that there's no real predicting the roster for the future. Kids will leave for the draft or transfer in a heart beat if they feel like it. So in some ways this is a bit mute, but you also gotta plan for the future. I can foresee a scenario where 2019 is a rebuilding year (for Bruce's standards) and I can also see a scenario where it's another, hopefully, dominant team. A lot of it depends on what Harper and Chuma decide to do. We keep those guys and add the pieces that we're adding in the 19 recruiting class, and we'll have another great team. Lose both of them and it gets dicey. 2020 is just too far ahead to speculate about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be worth including commitments in the chart, but maybe in a different color/font (like a light grey) to indicate they're "penciled in" but not fully on board. Seems germane to the discussion since we're all trying to get a feel for where the roster might stand and what our recruiting needs might be. This would make sense to my graphical mind, but I understand it might not make sense to others, so no sweat either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct but it would severely reduce the need & effectiveness of my yearly recruiting threads. HaHa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Loblaw 636 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I think that fbi stuff obviously killed the 2018 recruiting efforts. Didn’t effect the team much this season, but not signing any HS kids in the last class could potentially rear its ugly head next year IF some kids decide to leave early. If Chuma and Harper leave, then AU will probably be middle of the sec/tourney bubble squad next year. But if they stay, then I don’t see the train stopping any more for as long as Bruce is here. The 2019 class will go down as one of AU’s goat b-ball classes and it may be topped by the 2020 class too. I look for 3-4 years of dominance when those children arrive at the plains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was to only sign 1 which would have been EJ Montgomery but the issues his sister had with the women's team killed that from happening.
