Just offered 5 star, top 5 overall prospect stretch big man Chet Holmgren. Pretty sure this was the kid who crossed up Steph Curry at his Under Armour camp a year or 2 ago. 

get him a yearly subscription to the Cheeburger Cheeburger diet and he can go a loooooonnggg way

So, I'm trying to get some clarification on Thor's age and when he's eligible for the draft. This article says he left Alaska when he was 14. Guessing he moved to West Virginia and enrolled at Huntington Prep the next year, which would make him 15-16. But Huntington played him and schooled him as a JR. And when he moved to Norcross to play this season, he played as a SR although he was 16-17. He's waffled back and forth between being in the 2020 class and the 2021 class. There's even been talk about him taking a prep year for 2020-2021 and entering the draft. But from what I can find, if he's 17 right now, he's not going to be eligible for the 2021 draft. 

Now, there's a timeframe we don't really know about, the time from leaving Alaska at 14 to entering Huntington Prep last year. And you can't really find any info on his age right now. But he was originally a 2021 kid for a reason (I'd assume age). So, him reclassifying to 2020 can't really speed up his age clock because he has to turn 19 int he year of his draft. It's possible he has a really late-to-the-calendar birthday where he'd turn 19 in December of 2021 (which would make him 2021 draft eligible), but that's about the only way I could see this working.

He's really good friends with Kuminga as well, so it will be interesting to see how this one plays out (if Kuminga stays in the 2021 class)

I haven't seen any public mention of us reaching out yet. Seems like he'd be a heck of a pull...

I don't see a scenario where we don't also add a GT PG barring a Turbo turnaround at point.

its gonna be hard to get a GT pg who will only play 10minutes and be behind a true freshman. We were lucky to find jvon imo and the GT pg we will attract wont be better than turbo at the point.

All the above plus Kuminga. That means two current players would be moving on.

if we do end up getting brown somehow we could lineup like the 2018-19 squad with undersized centers

finish the class with Green, Brown, Caldwell would be a good way to close out the class

Any insight into frontcourt targets if we miss on Moore, Williams and Brown? (I’m not writing off our chances, but Auburn is not favored for any of the three.) I haven’t seen much on us recruiting any backup plans - seems like we were confident in landing Kessler and/or Brakefield. 

Would probably target Cliff Omoruyi and Rongie Gordon pretty hard if that were to happen

Yes we need some easier games to get the young guys in there. Hoping that can start with the game on Friday against CSU. 

I also saw in an article where Turbo may be better suited as a 2 guard instead of being a pure PG type. I don't recall any justification for that statement in the article so i'd be curious if anyone with more insight into the players can confirm or deny that. The HS highlights that we get to see of these kids just don't give enough info for me to have an opinion on what he is best suited for. 

The article your talking about is quoting Bruce Pearl direclty from preseason interviews. Auburn recruitied Turbo as a 2 guard before they knew Jared was leaving his junior year. Turbo was actually supposed to be Bryce's replacement but kinda got forced into a backup PG role, which is fine cause we'll need him for the next 3-4 years to play that position for us in limited minutes. Hopefully he gets some good experience this year.

I did find out in a post that one of the players supposedly, was b.j. boston.....i wonder ( IF TRUE) if all of the talk about Okoro being 1 & done has caused that interest?....not getting my hopes up and nothing has been said about the anonymous  player #2 other than speculation.....waiting on hooks but he is not saying much

I wonder about the C/PF from montgomery, Gordon?...He looks like he could be developed into an "enforcer" type inside guy at 6'8" 230 with a body that could carry 20-30 more lbs and we are going to need a rebounder and 5 more fouls due to graduation. I hope we are bringing another PG to go with Cooper....My goodness, we need one in the worst way if turbo ain't up to snuff.....speaking of turbo, i watched a lot of his video and TBH, i am mystified as to why he is struggling to get playing time.....he was dynamic in the vids i watched, fast as lightning

He missed most of summer workouts due to a stress fracture (a lot of high school kids are getting them nowadays from playing too much with AAU + highschool ball). Plus it takes time for a young PG to learn Bruce's system. He will be good, it will just take some time. Even Jared was slow to start, just give the kid some time. I'm hoping he gets a lot of minutes within the next week to grow into the role more.

nobody is saying anything specific.....i don't have a clue about "who,what,where, or why" and hooks hasn't said a peep

the info is from "Not an Insider" on the bunker. He said its not kessler or brakefield. Been on point in the past but not sure if he's an insider or gets second hand info.

Don't think this has been posted
