Dual-Threat Rigby 9,228 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I think he’s the type of guy Pearl has more or less been recruiting for a minute, but in terms of if he’s better than this Rice kid I’ve heard about (~3 years younger, couple inches taller), I think it just depends on their roadmap. If they believe next year has a championship core, then a one year rental isn’t a bad thing. Plus it gives Aden time to develop and gives Pettiford time to acclimate to college (I assume they’ll be moving him up to the 1 eventually). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,228 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 BTW, he SHOULD just be a one year guy, from my understanding. Everyone in 2020-21 got the COVID year, and he didn’t start playing until 21-22. He’d be a traditional senior. So the COVID year discussion should basically be done for any incoming transfers (if someone came to us having already played 4 years, then they should also only have one year left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they had to put their time and effort in trying to keep the two guys we had. Hopefully we still have that Myles Rice kid as an option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,228 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Auburn also seriously considered Washington State point guard transfer Myles Rice, but targeted Pegues just above Rice in the process. Sources confirmed on April 11 that Auburn cancelled Rice’s planned visit once they landed a private commitment from Pegues. …damn. Hopefully they still got someone planned for that backup spot. Probably a developmental project piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a developmental project piece Agree 100%, but honestly it’s probably about the NIL $$$ and not wanting to waste Rice’s time, as he wouldn’t be looking to transfer to be a backup.

keeperoftheplains 160 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Not gonna lie. I was hoping for Rice. However, Pegues is the man now so onward and upward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCTAU 3,658 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 He don’t squeeze many in. Or they edited out the shots that actually touched the rim. He has a nice dribble that allows him to creat his own shot. I’m hoping it translates to SEC play quickly. The good thing is if his three is off, he has a pretty quick move to the basket. Seems to be a good passer also. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,365 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) With him CBM, Denver, Chaney, and Cardwell we have a five man roster with the two freshman giving us some depth at 3 with Jahki and at 1 and 2 with Pettiford. We need Broome to return at 5 as i don't see Dylan as a starter unless he can keep fouls down and add some post offense. If Broome does not return we need another 5. We also could use another PG or a CG and a PF from the Portal. Edited April 12 by AuburnNTexas 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a good passer also. I like it. He gets his jumper off a lot quicker than does Holloway, lets the ball go above his head and he shoots layups with either hand, left or right for drives and fast breaks. Offensively, he looks like an upgrade to me, though not as physical as Tre is. Looks like we can drain a lot of 3 pointers with Pegues, Petttiford and Denver Jones in the lineup. Good shooters, good ball handlers, basketball IQ, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be nice to have a good defender at PG (Zep is the only one I can remember and he had negative 100% offense to offer), but we need O more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're looking at 2024-2025 exclusively then Pegues is the best choice. I guess that's what you have to do in the age of the transfer portal. I just don't like it.
