And now we're talking to BP after his team won 102-70

• "I can't begin to tell our fanbase how thankful I am to be the basketball coach here."
• "I thought we played harder tonight than we did Sunday. We're still fouling too much... we've got to find a way to play aggressively without fouling."
• Asked about Jahki: "He is so athletic and so explosive and he wants to be great. He has an energy, obviously -- we've got to teach him to play aggressively without fouling." Pearl said he's special and is very hard on himself.
• On Miles Kelly: "You can see what a great shooter he is. The inside out game is important."
• "Johni is a load inside."
• Pearl said that they'll have 10 guys playing double digit minutes nightly
• Asked about the Johni, Dylan starting lineup, he said that they'll vary up the starting lineups a bit this year, something they really haven't done in the past
• Pearl said that they're treating it like a back-to-back and are practicing tomorrow morning
• Pearl called Vermont "Yale-like." So.
• "One of the things I like about our team is they play unselfishly... I thought we shared it pretty well."

That's all for Bruce

Asking for a "friend" he's in a bit of a pickle I can't say his name though

John Cohen has been talking with more coaches.

We believe at least one of these conversations has taken “the next step” and we believe Auburn is getting close to extending a real, honest offer to become the next head coach.

We aren’t sure which coach could have received an offer. We will continue to search for reportable information.

Richmond at 11:00 am on a Sunday ? At home?

December 8

TIA

Series on Amazon prime follows players going through this program in ATL and Jahki is one of them . Kid is troubled . pissed off and moping when he doesn’t get the ball (same body language that was seen against Vermont ) and fighting with teammates… hopefully Bruce can rehabilitate but he’s got a huge hill to climb.

They start focusing on his story about halfway through the first episode… It’s right after they finish a piece on the Thompson twins (that both went in the top five of the 2023 draft). Jahki was into with them throughout the series.

Episode 1 - Projected NBA stars Ausar and Amen Thompson work to quiet their haters and solidify their draft stock. Small-town TikTok star Eli Ellis joins OTE to prove he can play with the best. Jahki Howard, a gifted athlete, builds animosity toward two of his teammates. Coach Dave Leitao is tasked with managing flaring tempers during a game.

Episode 2 - Intense conflict leads to Jakhi's departure from his team. Trey navigates a personal tragedy. Eli tries to earn playing time while the Thompson twins prove they're NBA ready.

In addition to the pick for 5-star WR Caleb Cunningham, I tossed in two more #CrystalBall picks in favor of #OleMiss this afternoon.

One is a talented class of 2026 prospect and the other is an #Auburn commit.

We

Still looking JACKED as well.

Very complimentary. Agree with him, this game will pay dividends for both teams. Much more valuable than playing cupcakes and not learning where you need to improve. We typically have to do that in conference play. Not this year. We will be 100% ready come January.

Wow, I’ve been watching our tigers play since the early 00’s. Pettiford is elite, Broome will go down as the second greatest big in AU history. This team has the “it” factor.

Soak it in boys we have a fun season ahead of us.

I’ll bet it must be embarrassing

If UGA wins out and A&M wins out. Who's in the playoff?

Potential teams with 2 losses


Texas
A&M
bama
Ole Miss
Tennessee
UGA



Mizzou

Yet here we are. At least with Deion we would be relevant

Caleb and I’m worried about deuce.

Attention, college basketball.

Auburn showed on Saturday night that they are the real deal, and put the rest of nation on notice that these Tigers are going to be a helluva tough team to take down no matter who the opponent is.

DECLAWED THE COUGS

I can't think of a better one off the top of my head. To do it the second game of the year, on the road - not their "home court" but a venue in the same city where they usually play a game every year, vs a probable #1 seed who many think is the best defensive team in the country, is incredibly impressive, imo. It was an exciting game played at a very high level. The kind of game you'd expect at the elite 8 level and up.

I was too young to remember any of Coach Sonny's teams, so I don't know if they had any games that would qualify. I know some of the Ellis teams played a few fairly high-profile OOC games, but I don't recall one of this magnitude. I don't think lebo had anything remotely close and I can't remember any other coaches in my lifetime.

I didn't really expect to beat Baylor early last year, but felt like we should be competitive with anyone after watching the game. I thought this team had a couple more pieces, but this would be an even tougher test. After tonight, I won't be convinced there's a game on the schedule that we can't win.

I am so jealous of the AU fans that went to Houston for that game. Great game by everyone including the fans.

Well.. you know

Dude needs to be shown the door. He will cost us again. We beat Yale if he doesn’t lose his cool last year and makes a selfish play. He’s one that you love if he plays for you and hate if he’s not on your team.

If he’s not involved, then I retract my statement

@Stumpfan and @DM8 and the polling posts… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That was as good of half court offensive basketbsll as you will see against an elite defense. That was beautiful basketball.

I say yes. Handled distractions. Ride the hit players downs the stretch and called so many great plays to get broome the ball.

- Dems ended up having to take the blame for "global inflation" by default

- Dems had to partly take the blame for Covid since they didn't handle it any better than Trump

- No more weirdo Mike Pence as VP. The upgrade from weirdo Pence to JD Vance is astronomical.

- Trump had time to identify the enemies within and make sure they weren't anywhere near positions of power in his next term. Some would have lingered if he won 2020.

- Elon wouldn't have been as involved if Trump won in 2020. Now we have a guy who actually wants to take us into the future with a seat at the table. All these other billionaires would have been fine with the status quo for the next 100 years if it meant they were still making money.

- Baited Dems into thinking more far left policies were what people cared about

- Set Dems up for failure with timing of Biden's mental decline


So all in all....
