What’s next for Auburn after 2nd round NCAA Tournament exit? Published: Mar. 19, 2023, 12:50 p.m. 5–6 minutes Success in sports can be a tricky concept. Before Bruce Pearl arrived in 2014, the Auburn men’s basketball program had eight tournament appearances. There was a time when a 20-win season, a winning record in Southeastern Conference play, and a halftime lead against a No.1-seed would be satisfying despite the game ending in Saturday’s 81-64 loss against Houston at Legacy Arena. Elevated expectations from four tournament appearances in five years have an upside. Winning is why throngs of fans Pearl calls “Witnesses” travel coast-to-coast and internationally to watch the Tigers. Thrilling victories lead to Bill and Connie Neville’s willingness to donate millions to improve the arena that carries their name. The downside to winning is a season when Auburn loses two first-round draft picks, Walker Kessler and Jabari Smith, but getting to the tournament is disappointing. Pearl told reporters after the game that he’d start recruiting that night. Read More Auburn Basketball: Bruce Pearl already recruiting, on to ‘next play’ after Auburn’s NCAA Tournament loss Auburn crumbles in second half of season-ending loss to Houston “Frustrating” free-throw issues sink Auburn in second-round loss to Houston “I’ll be shifting gears now helping, you know, the guys that are going to want to take a look at maybe where their draft status could be; we’ll look at that,” Pearl said. “And, you know, within the next week or two, get a look at what our roster looks like. If we lose anybody in the transfer portal and begin to rebuild it.” Zep Jasper is out of eligibility. He is one of the Tigers’ best defenders and an emotional leader. Jasper’s contributions go beyond his play on the court. Replacing him won’t be easy. “He’s a hard worker; he’s loyal; he’s everything,” Pearl said. “When you bring somebody into your organization, your team, your family, you make statements when you bring somebody in like Zep Jasper.” Allen Flanigan and Jaylin Williams have choices to make. They could return to Auburn for a fifth season since they have the extra year of eligibility because of the 2020 COVID-19 restrictions. Both could enter the transfer portal or attempt to go to the NBA. “I haven’t thought much about it, you know. I’m locked into what’s now -- what was now,” Williams said when asked about his future. “So now I will think more about it, and talk with my mom and my family, and talk with B.P., and see what’s best for me and what will work out. Never really thought much about it.” Flanigan gave a similar answer when asked about what’s next for him. “We were locked in on the season trying to expand the season and keep going and keep playing with this team,” Flanigan said. “Now that this has ended, sit down and talk to coach, and talk to my family and make a decision.” An often overlooked but vital aspect of Auburn’s success over the last few years has been consistency on the coaching staff. Ira Bowman, Wes Flanigan, Steven Pearl, Chad Prewett, and Mike Burgomaster have been part of Pearl’s staff. Schools are always looking for quality coaches. Don’t rule out the possibility of another program deciding to poach one or two of the assistants. Another question is how many players from this season’s roster will return. For instance, the Tigers had high hopes for Chance Westry to contribute this season. He got hampered by a knee injury relegating him to averaging 2.5 points and an assist in 11 games before getting redshirted. Assuming Westry stays and is healthy, getting the 6′6 guard going would be a huge plus for next season. Westry came to Auburn with a freshman class that included Tre Donaldson and Yohan Traore. Donaldson hit five threes in two tournament games after connecting on eight during the regular season. He showed the promise that Pearl saw when he recruited the former strong safety. Traore was a 5-star recruit but struggled to find playing time during conference play for the Tigers. The 6′10 freshman saw some action during Thursday’s first-round win against Iowa while Chris Moore was working through a shoulder injury. He told reporters on Friday that he’d likely return to the Plains. But, his athleticism is attractive, and there will be suitors for him. Will Auburn be able to keep him and harness his skills? As of now, the Tigers would have three scholarships available with Jasper leaving and if Babatunde Akingbola doesn’t utilize his COVID year. Donaldson, Traore, Westry, K.D. Johnson, Flanigan, Moore, Johni Broome, Wendell Green, Williams, and Dylan Cardwell will decide to stay or go in the coming weeks. “I’m proud of them, but I also have a pretty high standard. And so I’m grateful, and I want them to feel really good about the fact that they had a good year I’m proud of this team,” Pearl said. “But if you know me, I’m on to the next play. And I’ll be recruiting tonight.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.

thanx cole. it seems brandon miller of bama uses that old school stuff. i was wondering if we could do it to improve our own free throw shooting. anyway thanx again. as for you haters take the negative crap somewhere else. cole took his time to give a lengthy response which few will do here. you guys bash him when ge stand up and it is a bad look. i am not angry. pretend i am using kev costners voice from narration dances with wolves. he answered the question and people should appreciate it. don't like it message me.

people will laugh but he reminds me of dennis rodman. i hope he has a bright future ahead of him.

you are going to have to tell some guy this on the rant....it was his quote not mine. grins. i kid. i confess i like a great comeback story when everyone counts you out but i also just want a winner.

wow. this is the closest to how i feel about the bible. and i can tell you right now i have very little faith in todays christianity. it is just like christians acknowledge Saint Paddys day for removing all the snakes from ireland. it has always been my understanding those "snakes" were pagans. there are so many things in there and there are web sites that point out a lot of crazy stuff i just cannot get behind. i can hate anyone i want without the bible and christians telling me WHO to hate. i feel the christian religion has gotten way off base from what jesus wanted. i do not believe jesus would love all this hate going around that people want to denie is happening. show me a big money making church that will allow the homeless and the prostitutes and other fallen people to sit beside those that are supposed to love them. i will never hate anyone gay, not illegals who are seeking a better life from horrible conditions we would not wish on our worst enemies. i could give a good damn if a man wants to wear dress or not. and i think christians fighting for militarized weapons and getting them while our people are dying and many of them school children. hell some christians on here hate me because they think i hate christianity. i do not.I am however very angry when hate is brought up in the name of jesus. and that addage of good deeds will not get you into heaven is something i have doubted all my life. i believe that was made up. a good and just and loving god would want his folks to do good deeds every single day. the church has gotten corrupt. look at the horrors of the caths and kids. hell we have have the same problem in alabama with the baptists doing child porn or molesting kids. we are our own worst nightmare. hate is negative energy and hate just creates more hate. hell look at racism. it exists in the church. let me say this. a lot of you will be pissed off at what i said but the church needs to look at themselves.ask why christianity is dying at the moment. people are not fooled much anymore they just keep quiet about it because they will catch hell for speaking up. i worship jesus. i do not worship the church and people get that mixed up. i do applaud the few churches all about love and doing it right but they are a minority from what i have noticed. i am not trying to make anyone mad but i am sure some of you will come at me. go ahead if it makes you feel better.

flan is probably my favorite player. he came back from a terrible injury and he hustles his behind off. i also thik he is one of our greatest d guys.

this is a raw room broadcast and it has strong language. and i am shocked what his body went though. just wow............

here is the only other nugget i have seen. Battie is a legit homerun threat. He is very shifty and has a great burst. He would have taken a few to the house on friday if they didnt blow the whistle. Nick Mardner will also be a threat on the outside. Had issues catching the ball, but his size just leaps out at you. 6'6" and long arms. these are from a fellow on the rant and says he was there. he seems to have the attitude that TJ will shock some folks. i say lets wait til the big boys start stalking him.

here are the two things stated on the rant that say he is much improved. TJ threw dimes all day. Long, short. Didn't matter. Correct shoulder, perfect placement. Had a nice deep ball to brown. Several tds. You should have seen the back shoulder throw to Cam Brown. They had a one on one corner route with James on defense. called it 4 vs 4. TJ threw a perfect throw and Cam made a great catch in blanket coverage. Team went crazy! Oh wait, you werent there. so he is getting better. how this works out when three hundred pound linemen are getting after that butt. my point is some serious coaching is going on down on the plainsw.

ok i got you mikey.

maybe so but we were talking about making the taliban rich which mikey said biden did when in fact Trump did.

well maybe cole will answer this when he gets time.

GOP blames Biden for Afghanistan withdrawal but Trump brokered the deal Oma Seddiq, John Haltiwanger 10–12 minutes A number of GOP lawmakers slammed Biden's handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. McConnell said Biden was to blame for Taliban forces taking over the country. The deal to remove US troops from the country was negotiated under Trump. Thanks for signing up! Access your favorite topics in a personalized feed while you're on the go. A number of congressional Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden's handling of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan amid desperate scenes of Afghans scrambling to get on airplanes out of the country. Yet the decision to leave the country was originally negotiated under President Donald Trump and allowed the Taliban to strengthen their position against the US-backed government — a circumstance most Republicans skirted around in their criticism. After Taliban forces took control of Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, over the weekend, GOP lawmakers effectively said that the Biden administration was solely to blame for the collapse of the Afghan government. "The Biden Administration's botched exit from Afghanistan including the frantic evacuation of Americans and vulnerable Afghans from Kabul is a shameful failure of American leadership," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement on Sunday. While the highest-ranked Republican senator pointed out that both Republican and Democratic administrations over the past several years had overseen foreign-policy failures in Afghanistan, he placed the brunt of the current situation on Biden. "I have never hesitated to express myself candidly when leaders of either party threatened to put politics ahead of reality on the ground," McConnell said. "But as the monumental collapse our own experts predicted unfolds in Kabul today, responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of our current Commander-in-Chief." Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who has long opposed a full military withdrawal from Afghanistan, also faulted Biden for the crisis in the country. "It is only a matter of time until al-Qaeda reemerges in Afghanistan and presents a threat to the American homeland and western world," Graham said in a tweet. "President Biden seems oblivious to the terrorist threats that will come from a Taliban-run Afghanistan" Similarly, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, condemned the president and said he did not carry out Trump's strategy. "President Biden owns this mess — the blood is on his hands," Inhofe said in a statement on Sunday. "President Biden did not inherit the current withdrawal from President Trump — in fact, he has deviated from the previous administration's plan and set his own disastrous course." He added: "Biden needs to admit he made a strategic mistake leading to tragic consequences for U.S. national security and the Afghan people." President Joe Biden on August 12. Associated Press/Evan Vucci Some GOP lawmakers also criticized Biden, who had been on planned vacation at the presidential retreat Camp David, for staying silent on the issue as the Taliban seized control of Kabul on Sunday. "The American people deserve to hear immediately from their commander-in-chief and to know who's in charge," Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas wrote on Twitter. As the backlash mounted, Biden on Monday afternoon defended his decision to pull out at the White House. A blame game While the Biden administration executed the US withdrawal, it was the Trump administration that brokered a deal with the Taliban to pull out US troops. The agreement, signed in February 2020, stipulated that US troops would be withdrawn from Afghanistan within 14 months. The deal was much criticized for acceding to the Taliban demand of not including the Afghan government. At the time, the Taliban already controlled nearly half the country. Biden largely upheld the Trump-era deal, though he didn't follow that exact timeline. Many observers said the US's agreement in principle to depart cost it leverage it could have used to compel the Taliban to adhere to the peace deal and a cessation of hostilities. After the negotiations, Trump began slimming down the US's presence. By mid-January, there were only about 3,500 troops in Afghanistan. To put this into perspective, there were more US troops deployed to Washington, DC, as a result of the January 6 insurrection than the number deployed in Afghanistan. An Afghan special-forces officer told The Washington Post that Trump's withdrawal deal demoralized Afghan troops and made them feel as though a Taliban takeover was inevitable. "The day the deal was signed we saw the change. Everyone was just looking out for himself," the officer said. Trump on Sunday criticized Biden over the Afghanistan withdrawal, saying that the president didn't follow the plan he crafted. But outside the original timeline, in which US troops would've fully pulled out in May, Biden hardly diverged from Trump's peace agreement. Biden in a statement on Saturday placed blame on Trump for the chaos in Afghanistan, saying that he'd inherited a deal that "left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001." From Bush to Biden, US presidents failed in Afghanistan There is ample evidence that the US withdrawal has been rushed and sloppy, particularly when it comes to helping vulnerable Afghans who assisted the US during the conflict. But the US's ultimate failure in Afghanistan cannot be laid at the feet of a single president or administration. The war in Afghanistan has been chaotic from start to finish, with US troops often unsure of their mission as multiple administrations — both Republican and Democratic — misled the public about the state of the conflict. Over the years, Americans were repeatedly told that the US was turning a corner in Afghanistan, but there was rarely evidence to back that up. The US invested $83 billion in training and equipping Afghan forces, with little to show for it. The Afghan military consistently struggled with endemic corruption and discipline issues, exhibiting few signs that it could defeat the Taliban without US assistance. Every president who has overseen this war made decisions that exacerbated the conflict in various ways. President George W. Bush speaks at his first news conference after his reelection on November 4, 2004, at the White House. Alex Wong/Getty Images The war in Afghanistan began in October 2001 under President George W. Bush, who within the first month of the conflict rejected an offer from the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden in exchange for the US to stop bombing the country. In May 2003, the Bush administration declared that "major combat" was over in Afghanistan. As time would show, this was exceptionally premature. President Barack Obama drastically ramped up America's troop presence in Afghanistan in 2009 — a move that Biden opposed as vice president. In 2014, Obama shared a timeline to bring US troops home by 2016. He declared an end to the US combat mission in the country in December 2014, but the war was nowhere near finished — and US troops remained in Afghanistan when Obama left office. While Trump promised to end "forever wars," he relaxed the rules of engagement for airstrikes in Afghanistan in 2017, and under his watch, civilian casualties in the county rose 330% from 2016. Biden announced the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in April. The Taliban continued to make gains across the country throughout spring and into summer, raising fears of an eventual takeover. Last month, Biden rejected the notion that it was "inevitable" the Taliban would regain power and expressed confidence in the Afghan military. Within a matter of weeks, the Taliban was back in control of Afghanistan. There's no doubt that Biden and his advisors got much wrong about what would transpire in Afghanistan, but recent events are a product of years of poor decision-making by the US. Like other empires before it, the US has learned the hard way that no amount of military might and money can fundamentally change a complex country like Afghanistan.

we need to work on those bad. i read where there is an exercise where you lay on your back and throw the ball straight up and then catch it over and over with your hands. it sounds weird but some guys still do that exercise and claims it helps them. i wonder if auburn does that? it sounds silly but those old announcers were talking about doing those drills back in the day.

i missed it. i was afraid of the jinx and i wanted that sweet sixteen banner to hang up.
