He's been removed from the OP - need to really turn it up on Greg Brown/Chris Moore now Wow. The Blue Bloods still have the IT factor bigtime.

cole256 17,042 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I'm hoping one day we can get a real this guy is the best player hands down on the class. Then one day if we get him we use him correctly on the big stage.....then we can be legit. Somebody like Mikey Williams or Emoni Bates in the future. That's the only way you make the ultimate big step being on top of recruiting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 From an interview recently w CBP, he made a comment about recruiting these kids for 3 years and the big schools do it for 3 weeks and get them. He seemed legit disappointed ... m assumption was he was referring to brake field. Gave me the impression CBP thought we were in great shape then poof. Cruitin against the blue bloods is a tough game. Maybe I over read his comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,818 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Even if we don't get the top shelf can't miss NBA prospects I think we are going to be just fine. Bruce knows what he's doing and has an incredibly keen eye for what will work in his system even if nobody else sees value in a particular guy. But boy I love being in on these elite recruits. I can't wait to see us continue this trajectory we are on Edited October 15, 2019 by Tiger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Yep not to mention, in general the lesser rated guys will be around a couple years and that is more fun as a fan when they succeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) My preference is mostly really really good players who stay 3-4 years and become great teams with a chance to win the big dance but I wouldn't mind a one and done every now and then to join the nucleus of really good players.

Not a bad plan to stock the shelves with good players who will be around several years and not have to rebuild the starting line-up every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruitin against the blue bloods is a tough game. Maybe I over read his comments. You probably did, what with him having recruited high guys before this season and (obv) getting rejected for the most. I guess this'd be different with these recruits actually letting him in the door versus not even answering him back when Auburn wasn't very exciting. This would hurt individuals involved more than before. I still think BP has far too much experience in the system for this to hurt him long term though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 It is tough to see how many guys we've gotten close to, just to lose out to a UNC or Duke, this recruiting cycle. But that also goes to show how much more progress we need to make. Alot of us fans are just happy to be here, but this should give the coaching staff and powers that be more evidence they must keep pushing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His HS team in GA was ranked #1 in the country and played several nationally ranked teams. Plus, Cooper's travel team played all over the country against very good competition.

Don't think his team was number 1 in the country but I saw him play with his summer league team but within that team he takes all the shots and things like that and that's not how he will play in college.....at least I don't think as far as taking that many shots and stuff but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's why I said it because I knew img was number 1 and spire but it's different classifications and things of that nature but anyway it go my opinion is mine and I was asked about #1 future franchise player and I don't see him like that but maybe seeing him in college maybe I can see it. Right now as far as his physical skill sets I think his ball handling and maybe passing is his best attributes but I don't think he's the best at doing what he do in the last few classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, he is certainly one of the highest level recruits to ever commit to Auburn. Let's hope he can help bring in some others that we feel may be game changers for us and place us in the inner circle of college Bball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I stated not saying he's not good but I don't think he'll be considered a top 3 pick. He can do all that and not be a franchise player in the NBA. I'm not saying he sucks or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have watched film on Sharife and he is very good which Cole also says. The question really is whether he is a one and done type. Like Cole what I see I am impressed with but Like Cole I am not sure if he is a one and done type player. Partly because of his size. I could be wrong but to be honest I am hoping he is just below that status and we keep him for 2-3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, I want him to be a one-and-done level talent, because that means big things for the team in 2020-2021. On the other, however, I hope he's at the highest level he can be without wanting to enter the draft the next season. I really want to see Coop, Okoro, Stretch, and Cambridge play with each other in college. Whatever happens, I hope Sharife Cooper is the number one player in the NBA in the 2024-2025 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,818 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Guys his height are rarely 1 and done IMO. Those type of players usually have elite size. I think he's going to be a hell of a player for us but I'm expecting his freshman season to have some growing pains just based on his size and strength alone. I don't see him as a one and done either tbh. The one and dones usually don't have to put tons of production on film just moreso show bits of potential paired with their size and skill and IMO to offset questions about his stature he will have to have a fantastic season statistically. JMO. But I also would've confidently bet that Harper was going to be a 4 year player and Heron wouldn't have been in school for 4 years soo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. Not WHEN, but IF they succeed. Getting lesser rated guys is a 40/60 proposition as to whether they become an elite college player. I think we always need one stud inside scorer/rebounder and one stud PG/SG. then fill in with the other positions. But it is nice to see guys under the radar turn into All-star players in the SEC.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Bruce and an assistant went out to Napa yesterday to see Jalen Green. Per some insiders of a couple other boards, we're not out of it, and are really pressing to get him. Apparently Sharife has been on him too...
