Need a 4th guard badly imo.

I think it will still be what it is, a scrimmage, either way. We’ve got 14 practices, I doubt Hugh would be putting in an actual gameplan and all. As someone else said, first time a player who is gonna be counted on for meaningful snaps goes down during a completely meaningless scrimmage the fanbase will come unglued. Bring in a small fcs or HCBU, pay’’em a little $$, let their players experience a stadium like JHS. Let our guys bang on someone not wearing a AU uniform and call it a day. It can be win-win for all.

I don’t think AU traveling is what Freeze had in mind. It’s still just a glorified scrimmage at best and many years it even isn’t that good. I’d lean more towards the UT-Chattanooga, Jax State, or a HBCU route. Anything to make it a little more interesting for fans while making it pretty hassle free for AU. Would have to be win/win for all parties involved.

I mean Travore was an unproven kid. Achor is the opposite. You see what he did to Kansas in the tournament game?

Oh wow, would love to get this guy.

Dye

‘13 was in JHS. Prayer at Jordan Hare.

He was first team All-Sec, there’s a good chance he’s at his ceiling as is. At a minimum he’s got a shot and now it’s up to him to make it or not. I don’t think I’d have disagreed with any decision he made on this one.

I honestly don’t care either way really, just pointing out Aden situation (or any player) switching to Bammer is not the same as Bo or Tre or anyone else transferring.

Yes as will anyone who switches to our most hated rival. Would you expect anything less? You don’t think if Bo had switched to Bammer it wouldn’t have been moved to the Rivals thread and be wouldn’t have been absolutely shredded on this board? Nowhere near the same situation. Notice the Tre Donaldson thread was not moved. Perfect example. Transfer to Michigan not the same as to Updyke U.

I’d trust the opinion of professionals whose livelihood is dependent on being experts in this particular field over fan site message boards but that’s just me.

Love it love it love it. It’s an absolute shame he wasn’t drafted as an AU Tiger.

It’s tells me we aren’t done upgrading the position.

Big upgrade over what we had. Bruce is no dummy.

Not sure how GQ Mark Pope looks though lol.

Love it. Really enjoy seeing Dylan progress over the past few years. He is such a great ambassador for AU. Really happy for him and for all of us.

Correct. We won 25 games and a league tourney title because of Broome primarily along with a generally good overall team/ depth. I would say our PG play was serviceable over the regular season but that’s about it. And unfortunately the regular season and the NCAA tournament are two different animals and serviceable won’t cut it.

Then sounds like you’ve answered your own question.

Good for all involved. Now let’s get some real play makers in here at the guard spot once again.

Seems like it’s both to me. Having the right coach works hand in hand with having the proper facilities and economic leverage to make things happen. Both you guys are right lol.

Ha nah. He just has apparently not been with the team since the tourney loss and wasn’t with them at the signing today. I’ve certainly not got any concrete info.

If he makes the leap it will apparently be for someone not named AU.

He may not have been kicked out yes, but he was definitely told it would be more of the same for him. Coming off the bench and a role player at best. You can show someone the door w/out literally telling them to hit the road imo. From Bruce: What I anticipated in my meetings with KD was that our roster in the backcourt, particularly with Denver Jones returning, it's going to be a little bit more of the same for KD. "In other words, coming off the bench (and) not quite being able to play as freely as he would've liked to play. There's only so many minutes, only so much opportunity."

So we are 12th in what will be the new look SEC in overall athletic success. What’s sad is that some folks here will still defend this when presented with an obvious statistic that isn’t that great to say the least. The point of this OP to me is about overall mediocrity, it should be understood we have some success here and there but this really hits home on where we are at as a whole at the moment.
