I think odds are long on Green doe. Rongie has committed to UAB. I wonder if BRUCE let him know we weren't going to have room to take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rongie is the type of player before Bruce arrived we would be celebrating like it was 1999. Now we seem to have higher expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe4christ 949 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Evan Daniels said that Kai Sotto is a “gifted offensive prospect with NBA potential. At 7-foot-1, Sotto has impressive hands and touch,” and that he has been hearing from Auburn. #wareagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,823 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Watched a couple highlight tapes of the guy, seems like a likeable dude. I think if we got him, he'd give us a narrative angle to work like Rui Hachimura for the Zags. They got a LOT of views just off of that. He also happened to be very good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he has already visited UK as well, so it’s not as if Bruce is on a total unknown here. No idea where either school stands with him - still a possibility he plays pro next year instead. Would like to have him, seems he could play the role we’d hoped Kessler would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some game video against good competition( AAU, I assume) and he is not ready for the NBA...He needs weight and is not anywhere near physical enough....He has great ability for his size, but he needs to develop more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he means playing pro outside the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 791 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 How many additional spots do we have on next years roster if Okoro stays? We want him to stay for sure and I think it will help his game to stay one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of dude that we can excel with protecting the rim and just being bouncy and quick and catching lobs Would you rather have 5* & #2 C Maker Makur? Here’s an interesting nugget from Eric Bossi from rivals. He says AU has put it self in a really good spot with Makur. He says Makur is trying to get NBA draft eligible for 2020 but if he doesn’t he will go to college. He says also that Auburn has done a really good job laying groundwork when other teams assumed he would be going to the NBA or overseas. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to correct any of this, but from what I’ve seen it sounds like the NBA ruling in Maker isn’t expected until around April? I’m not sure when CO plans on committing somewhere, but I’d hate to turn away or slow play someone of his caliber on the hope that the NBA doesn’t let Maker enter the draft and that he picks us. I could be off base here, but Maker has the feel to me of the first dart throw we make with the extra spot that could open up if Okoro leaves early?

Besides most kids that have waited this long to commit probably aren’t going to commit until the late signing period Which is in April.

We have two open spots now and both could be used for big men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannn I'm not holding my breath on Maker but seeing him fly around out there in our system would be insane! If we can pull a talent like that I'd take him in a heartbeat. You're getting my hopes up, E! Makur looks sooo skilled out there. But I must admit to being a long time vocal champion for Thon Maker, his cousin or brother I can't remember, and @GwillMac6 will gladly remind me how wrong I was on that one LOL. I just remember being enamored with Thon's highlight film in a similar way to how I view Makur's. But I would take Makur 8 days out of the week as he's going to be a top 5 draft pick barring injury. And that's not a slam on Cliff at all. I see Cliff as a guy who can come in and have similar havoc wreaking potential in our system but Makur is elite with his size and skill.

Still a long time to wait to see how the dominoes fall with Brown, Green, and Big Cliff. Would love to finish with that line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
