I look forward to seeing what he can do at the next level. The coaching staff has probably known this for a couple of days and they will work hard to get a solid player that will contribute to our team! I have full faith and confidence in them. I wish him no ill will, but don’t have any interest in him anymore. Less of an NBA fan Than I was before— which wasn’t much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be awful tempting for me,if were HC, to avod these "look at me" types in the future and focus on talented,lower profile,team oriented type players and develop them over time. This class while really damn good is going to make Bruce age a freaking decade losing out at the last second for green and brown and losing Kessler when we thought he was all ours and had nothing to worry about. I'm sure Bruce is going to tone down going after the one and done guys. And just focus more on the Cooper type of 5 stars. Really freaking good but you don't got to worry about a clown show breaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid changed his damn announcement day and time like 15 times. I call cap on that claim. Pisses me off he said the biggest factor in his decision was the best path to the NBA. He was going no matter what. Just admit you want the money kid. Hell, use the covid crap as a cop out. ”My family has really struggled with this pandemic and I’m doing what best helps support them during these hard times” BOOM all fan bases would understand and rally behind your decision.

He has over 50K Twitter followers and I am sure just as many on IG. He is building a brand while AU and UM helped him along the way.

It's exciting and sexy and a rush but when you most likely get none of them? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu bro. Il take my Harper, okoro, chuma 4 stars with some 5 stars in the heron and coop variety and call it a day. It's only max fun and a good idea when you get a consistent diet of these one and done guys. This is a huge learning lesson for me. I saw the shiny new toy and fell for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Good luck to JG. I wish him the best and hope this really is the best decision for him. As for Auburn basketball, we will be fine. I'm excited to see who we will fill this spot with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than maybe some respect for the kid and/or his camp. We lost out on other high level prospects if we didn't put literally all our eggs in the green and Boston basket. Bruce would of most likely got a high 4 star knowing his track record. With Greg Brown we have insurance with Thor. That was beautiful. For now we desperately need to get a grad transfer who is a SG that can start right away. It's a huge hole for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
