If we get him do we still go after Broome? I hope so as Phillips is more of a SF as is Westry. That would probably leave us with Flanigan, KD, and Greene as SG with a healthy and confident Flanigan with the most upside. We have a chance to be better than this year even though we are losing two great players in Smith and Kessler. If we get Phillips and Broome who transfers out and don't they have to do it by May 1st to be able to transfer without sitting a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate for someone like Jaylin Williams to leave, but you have to say yes to Phillips and Broome if both wants to come. Phillips is so versatile and will cause mismatches especially if he plays the 3 position. Broome is so good around the rim and probably have more offensive skills than Kessler. This team could be really good next season. Westry's shooting ability and getting to the rim is another weapon Auburn would have. Games against Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Alabama will be primetime games as they all have great players coming in also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broome is a center/replacement for Kess for us. Phillips is a wing /3 (replace Cambridge & may be an upgrade from Flan & Moore also.) & may play some 4 for us. 2 hours ago, AuburnNTexas said: If we get Phillips and Broome who transfers out and don't they have to do it by May 1st to be able to transfer without sitting a year? Nobody has to. We have 2 open schollies now & still have 3 years to absorb the 1 more scholly penalty from the NCAA. And yes transfers have to be gone by May 1 to not have to sit.

Cardin Drake 2,085 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Volnation thread on Phillips is pretty entertaining. They're pretty emotionally invested in him. Apparently they were feeling pretty good about their chances 'cuz they have made him a good NIL offer and they have been on him for a long time. Now they are oscillating between hope and despair because he's visiting us and they are familiar with the Bruce magic. They are still trying to get over losing Jabari and Kessler to us. Anyway, all the hatred and angst for Auburn made me laugh. It's like ten pages in the last 24 hours. I'd like to see us get Phillips just to enjoy the meltdown over there. But he is a good fit for us. He could slide right into the 3 spot. That would free up Westry to play the 2 and that would be ideal. Then if Flanagan regains form, it's all upside. We will see. It will take some serious Bruce magic to pull this one off. Edited April 20, 2022 by Cardin Drake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubearcat 2,163 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The comment about “development “ not being an enticement when playing for Coach Pearl is probably the funniest of the thread. I mean Chuma, Ike Okoro, Coop, Smith and Kessler will be first rounders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. I think Kessler developed well. Perhaps he’d have had a great season at Carolina as well but he surely flourished under Bruce.

Oh, no doubt, but he still benefitted from his year at UNC, too, because he arrived as the best fundamental big man Bruce has had at Auburn, and I'm not entirely sure he would have had the back to the basket skills he does if he'd come to Auburn out of high school. But the reason I didn't include him is that I don't know that he climbed the charts a whole lot from his ranking as a high school recruit since he was a 5 star. Chuma and Isaac were both high 4 stars who became lottery picks (I know Chuma was technically just outside of the lottery, but I think that's primarily because of his injury, so I still count him). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) From what I saw, the guy they reference in that thread doesn’t say the phrase silent commit he said that Phillips would end up at Auburn edit: “Fwiw was told tonight that Phillips isn’t coming here, will end up at Auburn…as I’ve said a few times with this recruitment hope to be wrong, but not feeling good.” Edited April 24, 2022 by Dual-Threat Rigby 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
