ST, what's going on in basketball recruiting? Did Cothron ever enroll? Also on the basketball boards you posted about a PG and said you would let us know something shortly but it has been a while.

Check out THIS thread about recruits Willy Kouassi and Bernard Morena of Central Park in Birmingham, who are from the Ivory Coast, and are both VERY high on AU right now!

There is also an article HERE on Scout about Morena, in which he discusses the many reasons why he LOVES Coach Barbee and AU! He is a 4.0 student and hopes to major in Computer Engineering, which is the field that BOTH of his parents are in. He says that he is aware of AU's strong engineering program, and that he also likes CTB's style of play and the brand new arena, which he describes by saying “It is going to be off the chain,” he says. “I don’t think I have seen anything like it.”

Kouassi also likes AU A LOT and says that he is VERY interested in the Tigers. He performed VERY well recently at Coach Barbee's AU Camp.

That's the latest news right now. Here's a list of all of the players that have an offer from AU right now...

I hope that list helps! As far as "Big Luke" goes, as far as I know, he was supposed to report to AU sometime around the first of this month (July). I can't confirm whether or not that he did, but I believe that he's already there.  :dunno:

nope but have known him since 3rd grade. back when I could handle him at basketball.

Well, get to work then, SW!!! I've got a feeling we are gonna need some help if we want to sign Lacey! He was high on turd fumes there for a while, but I've got a feeling now that he's got "Calipari Fever"!  :'( You may be our "secret weapon" though, SW!!! Get to it...

I've got this guys. Been in his ear about it (playfully) but he knows where I want him to land. From what I've heard, he's Tennessee or UK bound. But with Josh enrolled at Auburn and Devin being recruited I wouldn't be surprised to see the three team up at Auburn..

and yes GA those were the days. He passed my skills in 6th grade and never looked back. Started dunking at 5'11'' in the 7th grade. haha impressive to say the least.

Thanks for the info. What I hate is that there is all that interest in the program but no room for any of them.

Agreed. At best we have room for 2. More than likely though only one.

  • 3 weeks later...

So who is on the big board for next year's Class?

Lots of names; too few slots.

From what I remember we wont have any Seniors.  But there is always attrition so I expect we are able to take a couple folks by this time next year.
