Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 With how little they seemed to be pushing for some pretty big name bigs, you had to have the feeling that they either felt good about Broome or were willing to go all in regardless. It would be really nice to have a third big they could develop to take the mantle next next year, but we’ll see… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will reload like we always do at center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCTAU 3,327 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 This changes things. The options are multiple now. Pick up a big man so JB can play some 4. Develop the new big guy to take over. Be set for the future. Get one more guard to help dish the ball and drive. Maybe pick up another 4. We got wiggle room. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, HEY! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we only said all those things about him playing the 4 to get him to come back. Play him at the 4 to appease him in the home non con games but when the real games start play him at the 5! He’s only an all American at the 5!!! 😂😂 I rather have him just take more three’s in the non meaningful non con games than have him play serious minutes at the 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But allowing him to at least do that in the less competitive games can really help his game and maybe produce a few surprises for us fans. I do think having him and Card on the floor together at strategic times can be a plus for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,150 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Huge pickup. Assuming Pegeus is really a big improvement at PG we should be improved at most positions. Pettiford can play SG and some PG, Denver is a very solid SG and can also play some PG. SBM should be better at SF AND Jahki should be a very good backup SF. Chaney should be a solid PF but that is one area where we won't be asgood since JWill is gone. Ideally we can pick up a PF/C type and another Guard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerOne 1,145 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) This is good news but recruiting and keeping players is all about the cash. “Money was assuredly a huge part of this decision. Despite his improvements away from the basket, Broome is not a lock to be selected in the NBA Draft, according to several notable NBA Draft writers.” Al.com https://www.al.com/auburnbasketball/2024/04/johni-broome-is-back-how-high-can-expectations-be-for-auburn.html why not just set up go fund me accounts. And you thought it was hard to put a kid through college . Harder to pay athletes to stay. Who’s going to pay up? Is it tax deductible?

AURex 2,000 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm sure the available NIL had something to do with his decision, but moreso I think the style of NBA play currently features all 5 guys on the floor who can shot from the outside as well as get in the paint. Broome will be shooting 500 3s per day during the off-season. He's not big enough to play solely inside. He needs to diversify his game. And I suspect CBP told him he would have the opportunity to play more 4 next season. He's still got work to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
