Dual-Threat Rigby 8,652 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Without the possibility of a Scoot package deal, I wonder how the Joyful recruitment progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard a lot of good things about him moving up the charts from people in the industry. He might not end up as a 5 star, but if he's not at least a 4 pretty soon, I would be surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl is going to go hard always if the instate player is a top player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to tell me the guy who is a pretty big fixture on social media in the college basketball recruiting world is a Bama guy???! That's absolutely absurd to me. He's 100000x all basketball yet he's a bam? That's wild to me. Never met a big bama bball guy in the wild before. with how much this dude seems to love basketball I thought he was from new York or something. You just totally rocked my world. I will forever look at Tipton differently now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augolf1716 21,101 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Auburn has jumped to the forefront of Zion Cruz ’s recruitment. Cruz, a five-star shooting guard and No. 19 overall player in the 2022 class, said Auburn is his leader following an official visit this weekend. “Auburn is at the top,” Cruz said. “They are at the top of my list. I love the family feel at Auburn. It’s a big family and I’m really big on that.” Cruz got to see first-hand. He arrived in Auburn on Friday and stayed until Sunday morning. He was joined on the visit by his parents. “It was amazing,” Cruz said. “We went to the lake house and rode jet skis. We had a great time. We watched practice and it was great. It was high intensity. I loved it.” Cruz also met extensively with Auburn coach Bruce Pearl and lead recruiter Ira Bowman. “Coach Pearl is an amazing coach,” Cruz said. “His energy is highly intense, just like me. I love it. 19 NATL - ST 5 POS ZION CRUZ UNDECIDED 6'4" | 165 LBS | SG | 2022 THE PATRICK SCHOOL JERSEY CITY, NJ N/A “Coach Bowman is a great coach, too. He has a great work ethic and is known as one of the best 1-on-1 trainers in the country. I’d really like to see how that feels (to train with him).” Cruz next will visit Oregon on June 13-14. He doesn’t have any other visits planned, but is looking at trips to both North Carolina and Alabama. Cruz plans to make his commitment in the coming months. “I want to make a commitment by the end of the summer,” Cruz said. Rivals ranks Cruz, who is 6-foot-3 and 170 pounds, the No. 5 shooting guard in the 2022 class. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednilla 5,383 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Isn't SG the last position that Auburn has not signed a 5 star talent? I mean, we got Coop at the point, Jabari at PF, and Kessler at C, and wasn't Mustapha Heron a small forward? Or was he a SG, too? Not that it matters to how much we want to bring Cruz in, just a tidbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd say we have a significant chance to pull this kid, because Bruce has kinda made his name with undersized guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually kind of doubt the G-League is looking for an undersized SG unless a few guys turn them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
