gr82b4au 5,568 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It has been rough for sure. No way to spin it- this is really bad news. Just remember that our bball program was garbage way before Bruce and we have reached unprecedented heights with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUINSY 2,228 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) We went from having a top-3 ‘24 class to now…having 1 commitment, maybe? Sad day. Auburn sports is exhausting. They should change the terminology from “committed” to “considered” these days when referring to recruits on where they plan on playing.

Didn't realize Wes or really any basketball assistant was so important to recruits. Need some good news...been a steady flow of bad news last couple of weeks. Should get a set of good news soon. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done adding pieces for next year's team. Also for 2024 there are a number of highly rated SGs in that class high on us plus we aren't backing down on trying to get LP back. Now if we don't get Bidunga to replace Marshall at C and LP back or a similar SG talent for 2024 then I would say that's a net negative in terms of 2024 HS recruiting. But their's still a long way to go for those things to play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,671 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 If we hire the guy we’re supposed to, I think he’s a more than comparable replacement for Flanigan, but obv you’re going to have to make up some ground quickly. Very unfortunate decommitment but one that seemed very possible once Wes left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote There's some thought internally that while a little surprising, it's not totally unexpected. Auburn has guard Tahaad Pettiford in the 2024 class, Tre Donaldson returns, Aden Holloway coming in, then Denver Jones coming in. That's a lot of people at the one and two positions. It's not all that surprising that Philon is having second thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all good in retrospect though b/c we canned Harsin only a few games later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
