WED didn’t say they were garbage. The problem is he defended someone else even though there are certainly other words that would have meant the same but not as brazen as ‘garbage’. 🤔

No it shouldn’t have the same meaning. is. It their fault our OL is avg, no. how many of these guys could of just hung it up without the extra Covid year allowed and moved on with this life? They came back and will at least do their best even if they could get hurt busting their 5th and 6th year of eligibility. they stayed to give us a chance. they are Auburn players and they represent my team. We will see if we are better moving the ball on the ground. If we don’t well know why but don’t put the albatross on our current OL as they playing to their ability. ’Garbage’ should be used on those coaches who are not getting us OL that will allow us to compete at a higher level.

You know. That’s not the first time I’ve heard that Auburn is creating a snafu for recruiting bc we don’t have a sports management program. This has happened in the past and I’m not taking recent either. you would think someone in the AD office could get this fixed. I don’t understand why either of all things we don’t have a sports management program.

If anybody can break down the stats I would like to see how our hitting seemed to go downhill down the stretch. Our pitching struggled bc of injuries but I think a Penta and every now and then KK would at east keep us in most every game. we were so HR driven it seemed in the first half of year that it covered u our weaknesses in RISP when we needed a hit. Our HRS seemed to take a nosedive at the end and bc our biggest HR players were 2+freshmen right, it seemed the pressure was on them. especially when I saw our best SEC hitter didn’t even hit .300?

17 years since Bama lost their first game in tournament. Geez. now that’s consistency. Unfortunately surprisingly it was their hitting that did them in.

That’s the difference in coaching. Miss coach got his team to play better when it counted but our team struggled down the stretch. it shows up in the tournament.

I’ve felt all along since Deans been here that he is a very good pitching coach but is not going to get us back to the top level softball without better hitting coaches and better in game management. how u allow a player to bat in the LAST at bat for Packer who does have some pop in her bat to maybe hit one out. I bet that girl was super nervous trying to not strike out. Can’t blame her. so what is our SECT record under Dean now?

I’ll add to that. And it’s even more difficult to add wins when 1 of your 2 best pitchers is injured all season. To win 4 more games was positive and helped w a much better offense to gO with. some of our freshmen that had to play hit a 2all, like Perslta who was tearing it up early. But pitchers found her weaknesses and was able to handle her. but pitching is the key and we were not pitching with a full h3slthy roster.

Did Brie finally break the freshman record for Au home runs? I saw she hit 1 in the 7th and she had been sitting on tied forever it seemed. we just didn’t get enough hitting this weekend. Getting swept was not what they needed now.

If the deal is in writing how could there NIL deal fall apart? Don’t unnderersnd that logic. If it was verbal and not legit that makes sense.

Yeah. It makes it hard to see Lowe ailing. Do we know what part of her body is limiting her? shoulder? Hand wrist etc. whatever it is it will have to be dealt w in offseason. With her health we would have had 75% chance of winning every series.

Nope. Pitching just didn’t hold up. hitting sporadic. got to take 1 somehow.

Barnes is no pushover and his teams have mirrored ours in the NCAAs out of our FINAL 4 run. they have a great program facilities history too. If they have deeper NIL pockets it will be tough if it’s down to us two.

Finally. Someone sees Zep as a little stale generating offense from the point(another reason he didn’t turn the ball over). but he’s got a nice shot but just seemed hesitant to take it. He can provide those midrange jump shots with better shooting percentages if he’ll take them.

I totally agree w this. Losing JJ to the portal would have left us w no experienced big hitter player. He has speed great cutting ability and can get open quicker than anyone else on the roster except maybe Dawson who needs experience in this offense. some of the few bombs Bo could hit was to JJ. I totally thought JJ should been targeted every game for the most throws bc he was going to catch it and run w it. whether that was the coaches or Bo not finding him I have a feeling it was a little of both. I hope Harsin backs up what he says.

I think he hit a freshman wall down the stretch. He seemed slower at the end. Not as crisp in his cuts. Granted we were playing better teams at the end and they were very good run stoppers. Also once Bo was out our offense became pretty. Pedestrian with only a drop back passer in there. im looking forward to seeing Alston as we need some definite quickness in the backfield. Hunter doesn’t provide that.

If they enrolled for summer then They would be able to go. I think they leave July 31st for Israel.

Good one Dual. This is when we need the Nevilles.

That’s what you’re hearing on Westry? I wonder if Pearl is trying to get bigger at the point trying Westry thEre if he’s got good ball handling skills. that was part of our weakness with our short guards last year.

Wendell is much better at creating offense for his teammates w his dribbling ability. im not really impressed w Zeps pg ability other than he’s safe w the ball. But when he ran the point he simply seemed to dribble around the perimeter. He can dribble drive and he has nice midrange jump shot but he just didn’t seem to want to do that.

What I meant w Westry like Okoro is he struggled early in his freshmen year then as the season wore on got better and better. Okeke waited until his sophomore year to break out. I just see an adjustment for Westry and hopefully he will take off as the season rolls on.

And if Kessler didn’t have good hands a lot ofvthose lazy congested passes wouldn’t have gotten to him. some of these guys must have been told they had to get it inside so they forced. Guys like Jaylin, even flan are not good passers.

Crocs? Now u definitely dont know about shoes. Lol. I hate any croc shoe.

Exactly. we keep noticing elite guard play gets you deep into the NCAAs. I don’t care how much zep, Wendell and Kd improve, they are not elite shooters. they all have flaws. Another year will ‘maybe’ help some but their height or lack of first step speed will tend to minimize their outside shooting. we need that elite guard and Westry is going to need t8me to develop. He’s a freshman. but the roster is filling up so don’t know how they will get one.

I’m glad he was. Ga has HR hitters in the last inning he could have shut them down bringing in Penta. But he gambled and won. Not sure where they were in the lineup so that may have gplayed a part too now he has Penta for Sunday a little fresher
