Tiger 8,825 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Would more offense from Cardwell be nice? Of course. But he's about as effective of a 2nd string center as you'll find IMO and a great fit for us 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is strong on the boards and is good for a couple of dunks on back cuts and usually at least one put back a game on a rebound. He is averaging 5.4 points a game, 4.4 rebounds, about 1 assist and only playing about 15 minutes a game. As a backup Center you can't do much better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Ole miss is a very solid team and to beat them on the road after getting hit on the mouth in the first half speaks well for this team. Sadly to many on this board will overreact based on a very good win. When we were on SEC win streak there were multiple posters who had us in the final 4 at the big dance. Then we lose two close road games and we suck. As Bruce has said many times we were not as good as some thought and while he didn't say it outrightafter the two losses we were not as bad as some thought. This is an evolving team with a lot of potential but so far without an Alpha dog. This was probably our best offense performance against a really good Ole Miss team. We killed them on the boards we shot great percentages both on two ball and 3 ball. In second half we only had three turnovers. The other side is Ole Miss also shot great both on 2 point shots and three point shots so our Defense was not as good as it usually is. Positives 6 players in double figures, 9 players scored only Cardwell didn't score but he had a defensive presence. Denver has had two good offensive games in a row, our bench was dominant again, We played great on the boards. I see the potential but I need to see consistency in last couple games Chaney Johnson has looked like he finally belongs in SEC. CBM had one of his best games helping on defense, scoring, rebounding, and effort plays that pick up a team. KD was the good KD which is who he has been almost every game this season. Jaylin another great game and Broome's numbers this year speak for themselves. One thing I don't understand about some of our fanbase is the way they talk about Jaylin Williams. He is having a great season, but when he has a bad game some of our fans come down on him like he is a bad player. All players have bad games. CBM against Miss State looked lost, yet hardly anybody mentioned it. Today he looked like one of the best players on the floor. For us to win since we don't have a true Alpha Dofg wehave to win as a team. Not having an Alpha Dog has also been a blessing as it is hard for other teams to scheme around shutting down the Alpha Dog. If we can consistently compete on the boards and continue having 3-5 players in double figure with others plays scoring some, playing tough D and keeping our team fresh for end of season we have a chance to be good. This has been one of the most entertaining teams we have had in lst few years. Now lets go beat bama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he returns back to Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 1,998 Posted Wednesday at 03:02 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:02 AM I'm glad to see some north Alabama kids getting strong looks from Auburn in the upcoming years. But I'm even more glad to see Auburn among the top choices for players that CBP really wants to pull in. Even now, this deep in CBP's tenure at Auburn, I am excited by his ability to attract exceptional off-the-radar talent. Yeah, sure, sometimes they don't pan out. Zep, Greene, Aden, Travore, etc. But personally, I like his philosophy of recruiting players who have something to prove. He's attracted some great talent to the Plains -- which we haven't seen in decades! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, WG3’s AU narrative would be completely different if he had made just half of the late game shots that either he or BP set up for himself. I don’t remember how many times we were in a GW FG opportunity and he just couldn’t make the big shot at the very end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying at the end of these games: Their guards were just better than ours at the in the last 5 minutes of the game when it really counted.

I mean that wouldn’t be particularly surprising, but we are likely paying the most for any one player between both rosters in Broome and they are losing a ton of players. We don’t even need to necessarily load up on talent, we lose like 4 players from last year’s team, and we’ve already found the most important replacement for those departures. You just gotta look at the rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
