Imagine that…. Looking at you Duke Miles. And Omier is a much more accomplished college player to….

We smoked arky by 30 plus this year and beat the bams by 18 on our floor and barely lost at their place. The point the poster is trying to make is Bruce is always having to do more with less because we are at a recruiting disadvantage in bball. Bruce can recruit with the best with them on a level playing field. Which is why we always get one 5 star McDonald’s AA and usually 1 quality transfer which is seemingly our ceiling each year for NIL with bball.

A Fuggin men brother!!! I’m cool with them doing every ple outside the US besides Rumble, mania and Summerslam!!!

I totally feel this… US crowds absolutely suck compared to this one!!

Greatest crowd everrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! Made every match feel big time!!!! That was a great ppv just because of the crowd!!! One of my favorites of all tiiiiime bay baaaaay!!!! Woooooooo!!!!!

Seriously. It’s just to spite AU and you can’t tell me otherwise. They didn’t give a damn about bball until Bruce got us rolling.

One of the best crowds for a raw or smackdown in the modern era!!!

Yah Indiana with an essentially lame duck coach and a coach a lot if not most of the fanbase wants fired is getting essentially a close to unlimited nil funds to extremely up the talent for next years team. They have got ever since the season ended 3 high profile and coveted transfers plus a 5 star high school recruit. I don’t think Indiana is a great job anymore nor that relevant in college basketball currently and tbh hasn’t been in a couple of decades but there’s no question Bruce would have way more resources at a basketball 🏀 school like Indiana than here.

It’s been reported on AU sites today we don’t have much if any NIL money left for next years bball team. Bruce continues to have a smaller war chest to work with than our rivals. Cal can snap his fingers at arky now and if he needs any extra cash they are giving it to him to build a very talented roster. Bruce always has to hit on some crazy evals like Chaney and CBM and do more with less.

God I hope not!!! 87 doesn’t run around the board spam posting about how much they love Oats!!! 😆😁🤭😉

A old friend of ours! 😂😂 had no idea he even had any eligibility left.

Hey I’m with you brother. Trust me I’ve been beating this drum with you that AU needs to go all in on bball while Bruce is here. Especially since he’s in his mid 60’s now. I‘M just not shocked. Bruce had to unearth HIMSELF most likely the only mega booster bball has in the Neville’s. No one had any idea who they were until a couple of years ago. Football has the usual suspects of boosters in Jimmy rane, The Harberts and Earl McWhorter and a few others that most of even the casual AU fans know about. None of them have never ever been even loosely attached to basketball 🏀. I doubt they open up the purse strings for basketball.

The decision to give Broome a huge nil sum is an easy choice. He’s an all American. He’s our best player. He’s a legit 2 way player who is a great offensive and defensive player. The problem continues to be our limited nil pool for bball and having to “ballin on a budget” no matter how much success, championships and 25 plus win seasons we have. We are at best middle of the pack if not worse in the sec in nil budget for bball.

Pretty sure it’s after!

Broome being back is worth way more than any of these backup depth guys would be. If Bruce wasn’t so committed to the hockey line change substitution pattern we wouldn’t have to be 2 deep at every position. It’s the one and only thing I really disagree with him about. These are college kids. Not an nba team with a lot of 30 plus year olds. They can play significant minutes. AU is one of the very few best programs currently I would venture to guess that plays our best players so little.

It was a mistake to bring back our best player?

Well to be fair this is going down a level. The dude played at high point last season. But of course it was too good to be true. He would have been a good option at backup PG. but I can’t blame the kid for going somewhere where he has a path to be a starter. We will be seeing him next season.

Why do you think this? College football keeps growing in popularity in particular. It has overtaken the NBA and mlb as the second most popular and watched American sport. The ratings back it up to.

His dad played there and has a more direct time to starter minutes there.

Yes. I signed up for the premium level of the bama troll membership of AU family. So far it’s mainly just you since I got it! 😂😂
