i thought this comment was interesting...........

Pegues is a really good defender on ball and off ball. Howard is a good rim protector even at the SF spot because of his incredible vertical leap. He was ranked the #1 dunker in high school. He's 6'6" 190 with extreme athletic ability. He'll put on more weight and muscle at Auburn for sure. Pettiford can defend well but he's not an overly great defender. BP will coach him up on that end though. I firmly believe this team will be so much better than last year's team due to better shooters and so many seniors that came back. Then add in the depth with our pressure defense with better guards and I think we have a real shot at winning the SEC. From there, who knows? March Madness is always a crap shoot.

The hype for next season is real! Excited to see these guys get on the court. The media and "experts" sure are pumped about the new additions.
