Bball recruiting is a lot more wild and crazy before they commit and a lot more tame and calm after they commit.

The only concern I would have with anyone announcing their commitment to us soon would be Green announcing to us then signing to go pro. Doubt that would happen, but that would be the likeliest flip/decommitment/change type of situation that would/could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Cuse commit did this a couple of years ago. Edited April 10, 2020 by GwillMac6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be 3rd (71.03), just a whisker behind Duke's 2018 class (71.06) & UK's 2013 class (71.08). That being said I wish we wouldn't talk openly about stuff like that before we land our big targets. We've had enough jinxes & bad juju this season.

I think most of the people pushing it are doing so aimlessly and desperately, but with the test turnaround becoming quicker and quicker, and the NCAA profit margins shrinking and shrinking, I'm sure they'll force something out. I just hope whatever it is, it doesn't involve fans at the games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,109 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 While it would be disappointing given the guys we are in on & where at one time some of us thought we were with them, a likely worst case scenario finish of Thor, Cardwell, & a GT Guard would still be damn good & on paper the best class in AU history. It would be slightly better than the 2016 class & project to finish between 9 & 15 with the median being 11 or 12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper and Thor give you two 5 star players that will be here more than a year! Can’t forget Thor was #12 before he moved to 2020. This class will be special either way. Just got my hopes up with Green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,109 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Quote Pearl: 'Very important week' Bryan Matthews • AuburnSports Senior Editor AUBURN | One down, two to go for Bruce Pearl and his talented group of assistant coaches. Auburn landed a commitment from four-star power forward JT Thor on Sunday and will be anxiously awaiting final decisions from five-star shooting guard Jalen Green on Thursday or Friday, and five-star small forward Greg Brown the following Friday. “We’ve got three scholarships that are open,” said Auburn coach Bruce Pearl on Tiger Talk Friday night, two days before Thor’s commitment. “We’ve got three signed. I’ve got six new players coming in next year. I don’t have them all signed yet but this is a very important week for us coming up.” Pearl is on the cusp of potentially inking the best signing class in program history. (Christopher Hanewinckel/USA TODAY Sports) The spring signing period begins Wednesday and has been extended through August 1. The addition of Thor, a versatile 6-foot-10 big man that can play the 4 or the 5, gives the Tigers four players in the 2020 class. Auburn signed five-star point guard Sharife Cooper, four-star forward Chris Moore and three-star shooting guard Justin Powell in the early period. Auburn must replace five seniors and freshman Isaac Okoro, who is expected to enter the 2020 NBA Draft, from last year’s team after replacing five players from the previous season’s Final Four team. “That’s 11 guys lost in two years. I only get 13 scholarships so this will be a complete reload. And yet if we’re able to finish this recruiting with the right couple of pieces, this team still will be competitive next year,” Pearl said. “I think of the six freshmen I’m going to sign, I’d say five of them could be seeing real playing time. So we could have the youngest roster in the SEC next year. That would be what my anticipation would be. The result? I think there would be nights we are playing really good basketball and I think there will be nights when a young team is playing pretty inconsistent.” Green is currently scheduled to choose between Auburn and Memphis Friday at 3 p.m. CT, but is considering moving it a day earlier. Brown is scheduled to choose Auburn, Texas or Memphis at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
