Auburn basketball lands 5-star point guard Tahaad Pettiford Updated: Feb. 01, 2023, 2:30 p.m.|Published: Feb. 01, 2023, 2:27 p.m. ~3 minutes Tahaad Pettiford (0) of Hudson Catholic tries to score against Josh Ingram (24) of St, Joseph during the Heart 2 Hands Showcase boys basketball game between Hudson Catholic and St. Joseph (Met.) Roselle, NJ on Saturday, February 12, 2022. Scott Faytok | For NJ Advance Media By Nick Alvarez | nalvarez@al.com Tahaad Pettiford will be an Auburn Tiger. The five-star point guard from Jersey City, New Jersey announced his commitment on Tuesday afternoon, picking the Tigers from his seven finalists. He’s the second member of Bruce Pearl’s 2024 class, joining four-star center Peyton Marshall. He’s a 5-foot-11, 160-pounder ranked 22nd on the 247Sports Composite and No. 2 point guard in his class. His other contenders were Seton Hall, Ole Miss, Kansas, Kentucky, Connecticut and UCLA. “I’ll be starting my next chapter at Auburn University,” Pettiford announced from Hudson (N.J.) Catholic on the 247Sports Youtube channel. Pettiford, who visited the Plains on an official visit on Sept. 17, credited that trip as part of his decision, citing the campus as a “second home.” It’s the second year in a row that Auburn has earned a commitment from one of the country’s top point guards. California’s Aden Holloway signed his letter of intent for the class of 2023 in November. Pettiford had surgery two months ago to repair a torn meniscus. He hopes to rejoin his high school team later this season in the playoffs. When healthy, Pettiford showcased his skills as a solid dribbler with good vision and elite shooting. The lefty would pair well with another blue-chip guard Labaron Philon. The Baker point guard is ranked 41st nationally and has the Tigers among his finalists. Philon is announcing on Friday and is predicted to join Pettiford and Marshall on the Plains. The trio would give Auburn the No. 3 class in the 247Sports Composite team rankings and best in the SEC.

Trump in Even More Legal Hot Water After Lying to Judge Jose Pagliery 4–5 minutes Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images Former President Donald Trump appears to have lied in sworn court records, opening him up to severe sanctions by a New York judge who has already lost his patience and threatened to punish him before. Trump claimed he wasn’t the president of the Trump Organization during his four years at the White House, despite previously testifying that he was an “inactive president.” And he claimed that he didn’t have a financial stake in a partnership with the real estate company Vornado, even though he previously testified that he did. On Tuesday, the New York Attorney General’s Office asked Justice Arthur F. Engoron to intervene quickly to ensure that the former president still faces a trial later this year that could bankrupt his company. New York AG Letitia James sued the Trump family and their real estate empire for at least $250 million last year, the end result of a three-year investigation that documented how the Trumps have routinely faked property values to score better bank loans and cheat taxes. The civil lawsuit threatens to yank the company’s credentials, seize its bank accounts, and choke off its access to any banks in New York City—the global finance capital. Judge Blasts Trump Org Lawyers for Delay Tactics The Trumps, desperate to avoid the collapse of their company, initially tried to disqualify the AG and stop her from accessing company records. But when Judge Engoron threatened to sanction lawyers for incessantly making “frivolous” legal arguments, the Trumps last week were finally forced to answer James’ lawsuit with actual defenses. The result was a legal document that read like a joke, with Trump attorney Alina Habba going as far as claiming there is formally no such thing as the “Trump Organization’—a ridiculous position, given that it’s a billion-dollar company Trump used to build his reputation over decades. On Tuesday, the AG’s office called her out on that too, noting that in November she began a court hearing before this very judge by introducing herself as an attorney for that company. “Good morning, Your Honor. Alina Habba for Trump Organization, Donald Trump, et cetera,” she said on Nov. 22 in a New York City courtroom. The AG’s office also pointed out how Trump, in a separate case involving how his security guards beat up protesters in Manhattan, testified behind closed doors that while at the White House he “was an inactive president and now I’m active again.” The testimony shows that he remained atop the Trump Organization. Judge Orders Trump to Pay Up for Missing Evidence “Was there a period of time that you were not the president of the Trump Organization?” asked the protester’s lawyer, Benjamin Dictor. “Well, I wasn’t active during the time I was at 1600,” Trump said, referring to the White House address. “I would say that I was an inactive president and now I’m active again.” By contrast, in court documents last week, Trump swore that he “specifically denies the definition of ‘Trump Organization’” and “each and every allegation” that he was ever the inactive president of the company during four years in public office. At the bottom of the 300-page document, Trump signed his name using his usual thick, black marker beneath an affirmation that says his list of responses “is true to the best of [his] own current knowledge.” Lying in court documents is a red line that could result in hefty fines and serious blowback in court. In Tuesday’s filing, the lawyer at the AG’s office leading the case asked the judge to drag the Trumps into court again to punish them for pulling the stunt—and to not give them a second chance. “The Court has already admonished defendants and their counsel for their continued invocation of meritless legal claims but exercised its discretion in not imposing such sanctions, ‘having made its point.’ It does not appear that this point was taken, however, and [AG’s office] would ask the court to renew the issue,” attorney Kevin Wallace wrote.

and you have every right to do so.

i have three rescues and they keep me from traveling but god i love them so much! one was so abused if you pick her up she will potty all over you from being scared. when i think of what must have been done i get livid!. but dogs are pampered. they eat steak tho not as much lately. they get treats at least twice a day and they love cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets. they love fried chicken livers from popeye's as well but they got a bit pricey. i treat my dogs like gold...........hell when they get nervous i sing to them. and they reward me with so much love.

i say yes period. i would feel the same if he was a lefty. what say yee?

it started with the hippies. i remember those four kids in ohio and so many people talked more about them have lice or the crabs. my memory is fuzzy but it happened for a fact.

i am all for it. i am not above bribing either lol

i agree on texas A&M but i also have some faith that jimbo will mess them up like he did FSU. i have heard there are problems in the locker room and reports of players smoking that evil green lettuce which makes me assume they are already going downhill.

when i say improve i mean tank i feel was held back some from line play? this is why i mention the better part. but i have heard that our kid signing on signing day is a monster and he looks good on tape.

i saw a couple of the new generation address being lazy on reddit. they basically said they do not like working for less than a livable wage when the upperclass is sucking the value out of too many jobs for their own enrichment. i tend to believe this as well. we have some that do it right but not many.

so guys what can we do to raise the IQ of our pols and make sure we are putting people in office that actually want to help the country? i am talking on the fed level here. one is if you lie to get your position like the latest idiot this first one is very important. in the fed civilian work force you can be terminated immediately for lying on your job application. this was installed for a reason and politicians get off scott free. i mean this crap of electing some dummy like herschel is demeaning and dumbs down the government. if you have any kind of criminal record like domestic abuse or other violent crimes you should not be allowed to run for office. i mean do we want thieves and liars handling the work of the government? theft should be a disqualifier. swhy elect someone to the gov that steals? i think anyone that runs for office should be able to pass a basic test on the constitution and governing in general instead of just jumping in their and turning the gov into a side show or being so incompetent they disrupt our governing body. we should always have our best and brightest in office. always. what yall got?

military law is way different. once you sign you have less rights than a normal citizen. in fact in the military a lot of your upper ranked guys would often say "there is no doubt in my military mind" and they were not being funny. i think the punishment on a lot of these depends on how sensitive the docs are. i am sure jj and gao understand this. but it does appear from my googling they are not as strict as they used to be when i was in but then the cold war was raging. but as an example one guy got two years probabtion. so maybe all of us are a little bit right maybe.

repubs only worry about this when their guys are not running the debt up giving rich folks tax breaks they do not need. how many billions or trillions did trump throw on us?

repubs have a trump problem and they are scared of him. i do believe it jj. well except for the few nuts you guys got. actually few sounds low. you got mg hanging on your wall jj? grins........

this is a couple of months old but i got chills. my dream is to one day see one last night game but at sixty seven it is doubtful. nab would my grandparents have been shocked.

Where Auburn's resume, NCAA Tournament projections stand entering February Updated: Jan. 31, 2023, 9:04 a.m.|Published: Jan. 31, 2023, 9:04 a.m. 5–6 minutes After breaking a program record and gaining hold of the nation’s longest home winning streak, Auburn experienced a humbling week on the hardwood. Bruce Pearl’s team went 0-2 last week, with a 16-point home loss against Texas A&M—snapping the Tigers’ 28-game winning streak at Neville Arena—and followed it up with a three-point road loss against West Virginia in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. It marked the first time since late in the 2020-21 season that Auburn lost back-to-back games, and it came as the program embarked on a 12-game stretch to close out the regular season that Pearl described as “probably the toughest” of his career. Read more Auburn basketball: Auburn clinging to spot in AP poll after back-to-back losses Can Auburn make most of ‘incredible opportunity’ to bolster tournament resume? The biggest recurring issue for Auburn basketball in each of its losses this season Despite the back-to-back losses, Auburn remained ranked in the AP poll on Monday, slipping to No. 25 in the latest rankings and extending its program-record streak of consecutive weeks ranked in the poll to 32. Even with the loss to West Virginia, in which Auburn rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit but ultimately fell short in a tough road environment, Pearl believed his team “made some progress” in some regards. The Tigers will have a chance to show that progress as they try to bounce back this week, though the road ahead does not get much easier. Auburn will host Georgia — which beat the Tigers in Athens, Ga., earlier this month — on Wednesday to kick off the final full month of the season before traveling to take on No. 2 Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn., this weekend. That will be followed by a road trip to face the same Texas A&M team that defeated Auburn last week, and then a home showdown with fourth-ranked Alabama. It’s gut-check time for Pearl’s team as it enters the final month of the season. For the rest of the season, AL.com will take a weekly snapshot of Auburn’s NCAA Tournament resume, with a look at the team’s record by quadrant, as well as the latest projections for the Tigers in the field of 68.

i hope Cobb is all that is advertised. i think because of our line we are much better. i wish tank had had a better line as his numbers would probably been eye popping or close to it.

i stole scooter from ron white the comedian. he is the tater salad guy. tejas boy. one of the funniest guys i ever watched. a friend that does lighting for shows did his last show and he is retiring and moving to florida. he got him to autograph a backstage pass which is epic because he does few auto's.
