Coach Barbee, in the month or so that he's been at Auburn, has done more in recruiting the State than Coach Lebo did his last TWO years.

I like to put women on a pedestal. High enough where I can see under her dress.

high enough to look up their dress

FTFY

I think you guys are being harsh on Lebo.  He clearly wasn't given enough time.

You need at least 10 years to start implementing your system.

He never had a blueprint.

Auburn coach Tony Barbee comments on signing of forward Luke Cothron

AUBURN -- Luke Cothron is officially an Auburn Tiger.

The Huntsville native and North Carolina prep school standout signed a letter of intent to play for new coach Tony Barbee on Thursday."

"Luke gives us a different level of talent," Barbee said in a university release. "He is an immediate difference-maker for us along the front line. He is a guy who has the ability to score in a variety of ways, inside and out. He has a knack for being around the ball, which makes him a great rebounder."

Cothron joins Josh Langford, who attends Huntsville's Lee High, as the second player in Barbee's abbreviated first class. Barbee inherited six signees from former coach Jeff Lebo, but two players opted to go elsewhere and were released from their letters of intent.

Cothron is listed at 6-9 and is expected to play power forward in college. Rivals.com ranks him as the No. 45 overall recruit nationally and 11th-ranked power forward.

"(Cothron) wants to be a part of a winner in building something special," Barbee said. "He is going to go a long way in helping us reach those goals while at the same time, we will help him reach his."

So what happened with this guy? 

Academic issues.  Clearly we don't have people changing grades and taking tests for players.  Has anybody ever been declared academically ineligible who signed with that other shit eating school? 

Okay, I get academic issues.  But he went to Connecticut. He went to New Orleans. He's going to Idaho. (and if he was homesick in Conn, just wait until he gets to the 'ho).   But there's a Scarbinsky article out there where he says Baylor and Alabama are the schools he would look at if he ever spends enough time at one place to get re-eligibile-ized. 

When it comes to reconsidering AU?  Scarbinsky says "not a chance." 

Just curious why.
