AuburnBasketball 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 A coach from Auburn is at a JUCO all American show case today. Probably looking at a big man to pick up late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANSBY 0 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 AU BB....any news? There was a comment on the bunker asking if Okafor and Glass were visiting AU in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnBasketball 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 All ive heard is that Shaquille Johnson was in Auburn this past weekend and that makes me think we had recruits on campus. Bryan Matthews has said AU might have some JUCO players visit the next couple of weeks but that's all I've heard. Where there any responses to the question about Okafor and Glass?

Waste of time no chance with him. Now a Virginia Tech forward decided to transfer today and I hope we try to get him. He was a highly rated recruit.

AU64 10,122 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 How does getting a bunch of transfers from Texas, Clemson, Va, Va Tech, etc. help us build a solid program? While I'm sure some of them have good reasons for leaving, I have to wonder.....if they aren't able to make it at these other schools, what makes us think they will lift our program...and will stay long enough to make a difference? I know some of them were 4* or something when they were first recruited but we all know from observation of our own program, some kids are just not what they seemed to be when we recruited them. ...and changing schools is not likely to make a major difference.

We've sure been on the losing end of some pretty talented transfers Killingsworth, Toney Douglas, Lewis Monroe, etc.... Barbee made pretty good use of Derrick Caracter at UTEP after he transferred from Louisville. That fellow that transferred to MS ST who almost picked AU, did okay too. IMO, college bball is different than college football in that you don't try to build a program, you go out and try to get the best players you can to help you win immediately. If you can keep them a year or two or four, great. Look at Calipari, he has a totally different roster each year and does well. He is not building a program, he is assembling as much talent as he can possibly get and beating the crap out of folks. Not saying it is right or wrong, but it's just how things are done now.

AuburnBasketball 0 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks like we could be going after 2012 PF Tevin Glass again. Shaq Johnsons teammate and best friend. He has visited Auburn a couple times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has visited Auburn a couple times already. Why in the world has this guy not signed yet? Is he borderline as far as his studies? Even if he isn't a blue-chipper, seems like he'd have signed somewhere by now. Thanks for all your great info, BTW. Always so hard getting basketball info. WDE!

I have heard stuff about his academics but I think the main reason he hasn't signed is because he plays PF and he is not very big and not overly athletic for that position. Also he has been holding out for better offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjazz 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Dickerson coming to Auburn would be just what the Dr. Ordered. I don't think we have ever had two seven footers on the basketball team at one time. Go get him CTB!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnBasketball 0 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 AU is believed to be in the top 5 for Quinton Stephens and Trayvon Reed. They both said they loved their visit. There is an article on rivals if any one wants to sum it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
