Rarely do I wish ill thoughts to former Auburn players. Welcome to the G League.

Other than Broome who can bang inside we just don't have enough physical size (w Caldwell transfer) beyond Chaney Johnson to hold our own in the SEC.

We do have several slender bodied guard/forward types on the roster along with two or three incoming freshmen but our ability to play 9 or 10 just isn't there...not on paper.

With Pettiford (guard) and Howard (Fwd/Wing) coming in as true fresh, and - Pegues/Rice (guard) and Avilia/DJ Burns (fwd) being looked at hard in the porthole, we may look better on paper than this past season. Depending on how that shakes out in the portal may dictate Pettiford's position in year 1 on the Plains (1 vs 2).

Worth noting that Burns or Avila would take the 4 spot and replace Jaylin. DJ Burns is from NOLA.

Rice played some HS Ball with Jabari Smith as well.

Local sports take:

"One of, if not the, highest rated recruit in Auburn history barely makes it one year on the Plains."

Followed by an analysis of Pearl's failure to develop players.

Guess they never saw the kid take off- balanced threes with no pressure and plenty of time on the shot clock.

We would be incredibly hard to defend with one of those guys. The thought!

Burns with Broome. I'd pay to see that!

Mr. Jumbotron returning for his 5th year.

That is most excellent news.

Could it sway Broome to return?

Someone as connected as I am at my workplace, which is not at all, said that Broome is being pitched to be a hybrid 4/5 spot for next year if he comes back.

I'm semi-erect at the thought.

Pettiford and Howard joining CBM and Denver...

Fully erect.

Let me whisper some more sweet nothings in your ear then...

Imagine a lineup with Pegues and another transfer at PG
Denver and Pettiford at the 2
CBM and Howard at the 3
Broome and Chaney Johnson at the 4
Cliff Omoruyi and Cardwell at the 5

I shall imagine it.
I wanted to see more of Card and JB on the floor at the same time.
If we can pick up a solid big man, JB can move to 4 and really make his case for the NBA.

Pegues in....now let's go get Rice and another Forward/Center, and our roster will be fantastic.

That said - disclaimer: Rice most likely aint coming. Dude is too good to sit behind anyone at Guard. At this point we need a solid backup PG that can give 10-20 mins a game.
