ellitor 33,101 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Per JLee AU is in good position to land either Kessler or Gurley as a transfer Big in the class & they appear to be the top targets Excerpt below from am article ToddC posted in the main recruiting thread Quote If Auburn misses on Kessler and wants another skilled big man, it could do a lot worse than Gurley, who averaged 15.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game at Furman last season. A high-level rim protector and a scorer from anywhere on the floor, Gurley shot 49% from the field last season and 34% from 3-point range. He has three years of experience, plus the last two starting in the frontcourt for the Paladins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Gurley has a really nice shot from outside. Not sure of his inside presence or moves. Kessler probably stronger in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Moves and has the frame of an alright (not poor) man's Evan Mobley, which is a pretty good thing! Alot of UNC fans I saw said that the problem with Kessler was that the stretch part of his game (3 and dribbling) actually didn't show up once games started being played, so I wouldn't mind taking this guy who has already showed he has that in his bag Fine with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I would really take either don’t get me wrong but when I’m looking at the roster’s very few projected needs, having Jabari and Chris Moore as your 4s and Stretch/Dylan as your 5s, with Jaylin moving around, we really only have one really long forward now that can play that rover role JT did...and he’s going to be a freshman. The defensive versatility of Gurley would be a 1:1 replacement to me (on that end). im also imagining the length + athleticism with lineups of him and Jabari...I’m warming up to the idea of him over Walker (wouldn’t be mad with either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re good it’s only a matter of time before they are just as bad. I got a taste of it this year and I don’t like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had several of the bammers I work with that knew next to nothing about their basketball team. One, an alumnae, said he watched 2.5 games including the tournament. Another, when I said it’d be funny if Nate Oats went to UNC, he said, “Who’s that? Oh, I don’t watch basketball. I only watch football “. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're talking about a transgendered person, the word you should have used is "alumnus." [Insert grammar Nazi tag here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, alumnae is the plural of alumna and refers to female graduates. Yes, alumnus should have been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the basketball Iron Bowl is about to go all out high stakes...if we finish like those in the know seem to think we will and Bama gets Gurley to go with what they already have coming in, that puts the two teams pretty close to even on paper, no?
