Ramey is very experienced IMO it would be foolish not to at least ask. I think Pack is one of the top 2 best players in the portal and fills a big need for us. It may be a moot point. The feeling of some around here in Kansas is that Purdue may be tough to beat with him being an Indianapolis native. Tennessee, Duke, Gonzaga, Arizona, Xavier, Miami, tOSU, NC State, and Marquette all inquired so far. He will be in high demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger720 61 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 For anyone that has an ON3 account. The article that was posted yesterday states Auburn is keying in on two big men. Who are the two big men Auburn is keying in on to replace Kessler?

He hit several klutch shots as well. We should at least try. But you're right, he'll be in very high demand. Ramsey is good when he's aggressive. Pack is just an auto plug and let him go.

Dunndone414 469 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Sears today: “There's a lot of schools reaching out to me but Mississippi State, Georgetown, Texas, Alabama, and Miami are the ones that check in on me daily,” he said. “Right now I'm trying to get some visits situated but I've done a virtual visit with Mississippi State and I'm supposed to do one with Georgetown today. I'm going to try to get up to Alabama's A- Day game. I think that will be the day my visit will be. I'm also trying to get out to Miami, Texas and Georgetown as well. I plan on taking all those visits before I decide.” Maybe this will put the Sears to AU talk to bed (after what, 3 years?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I've followed from the kid was literally his worst, but he seems pretty solid. I'd take him over Zep or KD if we were trading roster spots and you could magically get him up to speed on chemistry Also, 3 of those 5 programs have a ton of high-end guard talent, so at least he's got some good eyes boosting him. I don't think we'd entirely view it as a Pearl miss if Cole didn't let us know he and his fam were big Auburn people (which is perfectly fine btw), but it would've been a good story at a former position of need yknow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'm just glad UAB has the prestige slowly building to keep guys like that in state. No reason that kid should have to go all the way to Ohio. They offered him back when but they didn't have Kennedy then iirc. I think if he had a do-over, he'd definitely give them a second look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All signs pointing to Murray to Georgetown. The assistant that recruited him to LSU is now there, and he’s from the area. Illinois and Tennessee are the other contenders. On to the next SG target.

AUBwins 10,068 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Something changed his mind to commit now. Probably told the spot could disappear? This transfer market goes fast. Coaches can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) I saw Sears play in high school. He is a good player. I have no idea how hard Bruce recruited him. He will fit in good in Bammers system. Although that system reminds me of the basketball version of Gus. Too gimmicky for my taste. I'm sure all the Bammers in my neck of the woods are happy Edited April 8, 2022 by NWALA Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine they're extra motivated to kick everyone's ass if Nate Oats is even half decent in the cheerleader dept. Really embarrassing affair for them in SEC play and certainly the tournaments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
