Yeah, but at the end of the day, if he reclassifies, he'll be able to go in the draft earlier...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and good point. It’ll be a hell of a sales job if Duke talks to him out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,391 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 On the J-Boy show about McClung (part 2, that is), Coach said that he thinks Kuminga is leaning toward Auburn (or something to that effect). If we were to land Kuminga, would we be likely to push someone out to make room for a CG, whether it's McClung or someone else? Or would Kuminga be a primary ball handler at times to spell Coop? Or would Turbo simply be pushed into the backup PG position? I mean, I can only assume that Kuminga is the type of player that Auburn would make room for if all the spots are already taken (such as if McClung were to commit before Kuminga decides), but I'm curious whether we are definitely going to bring in a CG regardless of JK's decision.

thewhiz7 273 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'm confused now. @ellitor just said today that we were a long shot for JK and have been for more than a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most insiders on Rivals have been saying it for a while but I just haven't brought it over. He's trending Texas Tech with family he has there last I saw. Coach Crain does still think there's a chance so that's 1 positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it. 1 or 2 guys would see where they are on the depth chart & know to look around. 1 hour ago, Rednilla said: would Kuminga be a primary ball handler at times to spell Coop? unlikely 1 hour ago, Rednilla said: Or would Turbo simply be pushed into the backup PG position?

If he can upgrade the team yes. Been the plan since we lost on Green. If not & there's a spot open It will stay open for the next class. Remember it's trending another spot than the one we have now is expected to come open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would serve as the backup floor general; minutes would likely be staggered to where he runs the point when Sharife is off (e.g J'von-Samir situation). But he'd probably start at the 2.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,666 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think Mac would be the floor general in name, but if you have him on the floor with JT and lets say, Jaylin, that gives you a few different guys who have the ability to move the ball well. It could be more equal opportunity, free flowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making the point that Turbo would more aptly be the third option at PG with McClung around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of your post I replied to sounded like a scenario if we don't land Mac so that's why I replied like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akillshot 294 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I did like Evans's phrasing in his tweet "Could the G-League be next for top-ranked junior Jon Kuminga? They make his final list, as do four other basketball powers." Auburn is now a basketball power thanks to Bruce and the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have alot more to do before we can make that claim, we're on our way though, I'm worried that we don't have the personnel to get where we need to be but we'll see what these incoming freshmen have. It's a shame about JK though because he's certainly the type of alpha guy we need. Wish we could've landed Boston.....maybe we can get LeBron Jr....who knows?

Cole, fully agree that we are not there. It was more of the fact that someone national was referring to us as a basketball power. Kinda neat to see national people putting Auburn and basketball power in same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
