Hooks appears justified with his uber exuberance about recruiting. I'll honor the code about no premium content repeated, but I'ma gonna' have a broken heart if we don't have a top 5 class before its all over. Rankings on stars are subjective and not a guaranteed value system, but I'd sure like to see what BP could do with a group of 5"s. This like plowing a new ground for AU basketball What a ride we're on with this coach and team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also nearly every thing Hooks may post as VIP he also posts as free. Heck most of the time his posts are more free than VIP. Now if you're looking for premium basketball info then Rivals is the place. They cover it more & better than 247. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,062 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 OP updated. Posted notes on our top 3 or 4 targets at each position. Also someone well respected in the basketball community & connected to the program projects AU landing a class of Cooper, Murrell, Powell, Brakefield, & Kessler FWIW. If that projection happens it will have 4 top 50 nationally ranked players, 2 5*s, & would finish #3 or #4 nationally based on the past 5 years via the class calculator. 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just crazy. This part is not insane or crazy. UK had 4 of the top 35 last year. They ended up #2 because Memphis had 7 high school signees with 5 being in the top 60 & the other 2 4*s. UK had 4 5*s & 5 of the top 40 in 2018 but was beaten out by Duke because Duke had 4 5*s also with a little better rating average & their 5th in their class was in the top 35. UK was beaten out again by Duke in 2017 even though they landed 6 5*s & their 7th was in the top 35. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said things with Cooper still look "fantastic" and expects him to commit early this fall... Pretty cool...... I appreciate Hooks’ enthusiasm, but he’s a sunshine pumper first and foremost and this is exhibit A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. He’s definitely an insider but also seems to have a few of these sometimes where he’s sold on a guy. I know these recruits can also shock coaches sometimes and a guy they thought they had just up and vanishes. Oh well, plenty of other big recruits out there to go get.

To be fair, this is not on Hooks. Every AU writer & person connected to the program & some national guys felt AU was in good shape, Sunshine pumpers & realists alike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Auburn, we are always going to start a step behind for these kind of players going against the Duke/UNC/Kentucky/Kansas/Michigan States of the world. The smallest hurdle (and this could be a big one) makes it harder. The NCAA with its arbitrary enforcement and foot-dragging timing only adds to our challenges.

Tiger 8,818 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 No shame in losing a 5* kid to UNC . However this pending NCAA letter is really mucking things up for us. Also, don't get me started on UNC and keeping things above board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
