ellitor 33,082 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 A heads up here. Rivals is reporting Auburn may end up not sign any transfer guards if we land Jalen Green because he can play the one as well as the two. Apparently Coach Pearl’s main focus is trying to get elite high school talent to fill out the class if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understand this, b/c we still need depth even if we get him (although more so up front). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the staff thinks Turbo can be a quality 2 allowing Jalen to help Cooper at the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like how Samir helped J'Von this year. The only problem i have with that is if he get's in foul trouble, that means we are hurting at the 2 AND the 1 positions. Still feel we need a JC or GT to play behind the PGs. That's even if Turbo can man the 2 as a backup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. JG is supposedly much more accomplished in that regard. 1 hour ago, steeleagle said: The only problem i have with that is if he get's in foul trouble, that means we are hurting at the 2 Not if Turbo is as good at the 2 as the staff is expecting or if Powell is solid. 1 hour ago, steeleagle said: AND the 1 positions.

slyinsocal 831 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The trend here lately is having good, quick guards and small forwards, with depth and couple of quick rim protectors. You can go deeper into tournaments. You can control tempo, pressure the ball, and attack at will a lot more without worrying so much about fouls and stamina. The Villanova and Butler teams. Like us last year, Arizona in the late 90s with Bibby, Simon, and Terry beat 3 juggernauts including Kentucky for the championship. For that reason, Baylor would have been my pick this year. They were so deep at the guard position. While Drew is a good coach, in my opinion, he should have pressured the ball a lot more. BP certainly would have with that group.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Staff is probably hoping for a miracle in that regard, but Powell + Turbo should equate to one backup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would we need depth for guards? We'd have Cooper, Green, and Turbo at PG. And we'd have Green, Turbo, Johnson, Cambridge, Powell, and Flanigan for the 2 and 3. Don't think you can really take anyone else in that group without someone leaving. If we signed McGowens because there was a spot opened, that probably frees up Green to just run at the 2/3.

psyfro 26 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Powell played PG in high school. He could also be an emergency option if they were unable to sign a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we signed McGowens because there was a spot opened, that probably frees up Green to just run at the 2/3. I think the key is maybe that Pearl thinks he needs an experienced PG(GT, JC) that can help his possibly very young back-court. The top 2 PGs will both be true FR, and the backup will be a little used SO. If he can find one that will be a backup like McCormick that fits perfectly. Remember, even when Harper was a FR, we had TJ Dunans and Ronnie Johnson who were veterans, and I believe Dunans played PG for us some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 He's not a guard but any chance we take a look at Matt Haarms? Entered the portal yesterday, 7'3", 8.6 PPG, 4.6 Reb, 2 Blks per game at Purdue this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
