Sounds like the info on dad liking Auburn may be true as more and more people are picking Auburn to win Greg Brown. If he plans on being one and done, winning seems more important than perhaps personally liking a coach slightly more (or longer) than another coach you still like and respect— but why do you think we might be slipping with JG?

They must know the key part of the puzzle we are missing. Not sure if sarcasm or serious but they may also think they know something but they don't.

What crystal ball love? 1 national guy has flipped his pick to Memphis. Most of the Memphis reporters are just sticking to their longtime guns. 1 Memphis reporter picks AU FWIW. AU still holds the lead on the picks. 1 hour ago, Tiger said: What could've changed? Nothing that we know of yet. Gotta love the pre-melts & pre-semimemlts.

Just from what I have read from the crazy confident Memphis crew here and there is he has been considered a big time Memphis lean since Mike Miller was hired and that's where all their extreme confidence comes from.

War to the Eagle 363 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Just now, ellitor said: He works for the Memphis Rivals site. Likely means he's hearing something. Ouch. Wow, after all this I'd be shocked if he went Memphis. I mean what are the pros and cons: Auburn's home-court atmosphere; campus environment; Bruce's passion; Bruce's ability to coach guys up and make them better (i.e. Okoro, Wiley, etc.); Shariffe; and possibly Greg Brown---pros. Distance---con. Memphis's arena, coach's playing reputation, school's past basketball success-pros. Distance, current state of program, uncertainty surrounding assistant coaches, conference affiliation---cons. I don't know, the scales seem to tip in our favor.

Kids don't view it logically or rationally. Crutin is a illogical game. You got to get the kid to buy whatever you are selling even when it doesn't make sense to do so. Plus he will only be at a school for maybe 6 months depending on when campuses open back up so stuff like that matters even less to the true locked in one and done kids who are guaranteed to be top 5/10 draft picks.

Apparently Mike Miller might be the trump card as GWill alluded to above. Basketball recruiting, just like football recruiting, is heavily impacted by relationships.
