But he still thinks Brown choosesTexas. AU’s best bet is if he wants a realistic chance to win a natty in his likely one year of college ball.

Our best bet is getting Jalen Green first and then get our staff, coop and JG pitch a super team to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he cares. His HS team lost 3 games this year so I am not sure he won a state championship. He said he was happy with their season. I think it might have been like 31-3.

Then why in the world would they choose Austin Texas? Texas was 9-9 IN A WEAK CONFERENCE, boasting only two teams with winning records. Why is this a conversation?!?!?!?? I know..I know, it is just frustrating when you consider the two programs' current state, coaching success and upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are losing our top 6 players. So winning here is certainly no guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring 3 together under the coach that won big during what promised to be a rebuilding year— I suspect that’s what Sharife is selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard Green was early April, now late April? Wonder if Brown is after Green still? Maybe, just maybe Brown is waiting to see if Green goes to Auburn and if he does, they both join Cooper and our developing young squad. Maybe Auburn becomes Kentucky 2.0 if this continues. Anyone know if these two have interest in playing together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,143 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 One other thing with Covid-19 being close to home is probably more important to recruits and their family then before this struck. That could weigh in favor of Texas. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but as a parent that would influence what I would tell my kids. A few months ago I would have wanted my kids far enough away that they really were on their own as I think that helps them grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,671 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is what was summarized by our nemisis Corey Evans and what he said on the free AU bball board. ..... Lol omgsh!!! Woooooow!!! this leads me to believe the possibility of us getting both Green and Greg Brown is REAL! I am going to blister all my knuckles knocking on wood from now until their announcements!!!

Lol I don't think there's much chance of that happening, personally, but that's just a gut feeling, not based upon anything I know that anyone else in here doesn't know. I just feel like our only real shot at Brown is Green signing with us on the 15th and setting up for a super class that Brown decides he wants to be a part of.

Honestly, if we get Brown and Green, I'm not too concerned about Kuminga. Sure, it'd be awesome to have four 5 star players in the recruiting class, but I've just got a sneaking suspicion that we won't get both Brown and Kuminga. Would LOVE to be wrong about that, but in my gut I don't believe it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying the only way I think we'll get him is if Green commits to us first. I think we can get Green by himself or both Green and Brown, but something inside of me says we don't get Brown unless we get Green first. Weird gut feeling, but there it is.
