AuburnNTexas 7,134 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 LSU may not be there for long. They decided to keep their coach who is a recruiting dynamo especially how he takes care of the recruits. That said the NCAA is really looking at the program they could come crashing down real quickly. KY will always be tough and the whole conference is getting better. We have a great class coming in who will have to grow up fast. Of the incoming players Okoro and Turbo are the key to how well we do in addition I expect a much better MAC this year as his confidence in his leg increased his production increased. Wiley is a question mark because of his injuries, Samir should be better this year than last because of his year playing here and Jvon should be better this year then last year based on the progress we saw from beginning of last season to end of the season. The real key next year with so many new players will be how quick they gel on the defensive side of the ball. Statistically Auburn's D was not always great last year but they caused turnovers that led to easy baskets and they seemed to have the ability in stretches to play really good D when they needed to. It is not only about playing good D it is playing Good D when you need to that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new rule, there's still the possibility that he could return, isn't there? Not that he's going to (I know he's gone), just that he could.

I just mean that Sharife has already factored in Jared into his decision. He basically shot down those reclassifying rumors late last month I believe. I just don’t think he wants to go to college that badly rn. UK were the ones originally pushing for reclassifying and he turned that notion down w them too it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,650 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I don’t think anything is happening to LSU honestly. The NCAA just doesn’t care when it comes to basketball, as long as the school pushes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper not so much. The thing that makes Cooper pretty damn good is his handle. He can literally go either way with either hand and not have any problems at all, but he's not an elite athlete and he's small. For him to be what many of you think he'll have to get much better shooting the ball and he's going to have to rely on being able to change his tempo and speed to keep defenders off balance, that only works when you're a threat to shoot. He's not explosive, he'll need to play a Chris Paul type of game, he won't be a high scoring threat, until his shot gets better. Now none of us can really say how he'll adjust to longer stronger quicker guys guarding him, but the easiest and biggest jump on improvement that can be made is a guys jump shot so I have no doubt that will get better. But we'll see. With this kind of analysis, how in the world did he get to be rated as a 5 star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very skilled, he's just not a freak athlete. That's why I mentioned Chris Paul, he was a 5 star very skilled PG but not a high flyer finisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a high rated recruit out of North Carolina I believe. Played for wake Forest. Is known for having a very nice handle and being a floor general. About 6 foot. You never saw him dunking on anybody or anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not only about playing good D it is playing Good D when you need to that matters. I think at one point near the very end of the year I heard we were #1 nationally in steal percentage (percent of opponents possessions in which we got a steal). I dont always think we were the best fundamentally on d, but we always had pretty active hands. As the year progressed, man did we ever get aggressive with hands and turn up the heat on ball handlers. Also started crashing the boards big time. Once we went all in with that approach, we caught fire. I hope Pearl can get the new guys on board with it too, will make everything flow better.
