sent this to a few folks last night but Auburn is now talking to Dior Johnson.

Too much to type but nutshell version:

Former 5 star
#1 PG in country out of HS
Scores a lot - close to 30 a game last year
HUGE UPSIDE
No Doubt he is a talent and potential NBA Pick

BUT.....

LOT of red flags with this kid. Hes been around....a lot. Has behavior issues. Has anger issues. Has been arrested for beating the hell out of his GF. Has committed to and uncommitted to about 9-10 schools since HS. Can we take a chance? I'll trust Bruce to vet this 1 and done. If he can behave for 8-10 months and wants a ring? Hell yes.

Can’t have nice things. AU goes up 5-2 in the top of the 14th. Then gives up a 3 run shot and a solo to lose it in the bottom. Long 4:21 game!

Out of the SEC tourney in the first round.
Dean is gone so maybe we can have nice things again.

BTW. The tourney is in AU.

Dean honestly did exactly what he was supposed to do when hired, which was to bring calmer waters to the program after the Myers fiasco - first and foremost. I am not sure he was supposed to stick around as long as he did but I think he did his job while here. Now, let's hope we can make that leap back forward with the next coach. It was thought that the Duke coach was. front runner but it's now being said she has a ton of baggage, especially with AAU Hubby and his softball teams. Asst coach at Oklahoma would be nice but she's next in line for that job when the current maestro retires. With them moving to the SEC, she may want to stay put as HCIW.

I was part of a 69 for a 10 minute spell with Cindy Lou Schnedlemeister, back in 98'.
You added one too many zeroes

You must have looked homeless.
I was thinking what a great story this is and it was restoring my faith in humanity, too. Then, I realized that WD6 must have blown the guy off on his break. Or, gave him some crank.

Long story short, so different from a Snags tale…

Traveling on bidness in the mecca known for the birth of the Blues Brothers.  Walked to the nearby chain restaurant because I am lazy and alone.  Served by a pleasant young man who informs me that because he gives back with his income, my meal is taken care of.  I don’t argue but I left him a tip that was more than the meal.  He was so friendly and just the kind of server I love.  Attentive but not intrusive. 

Maybe there is hope.

6'2" and 153 lbs? Really? Do you know how hard it is to add bulk for a skinny fella at that age. We saw how a slight PG gets treated in the SEC last season. 
Sorry to inform you but all of the available point guards that Auburn is currently showing interest in are barely 11 stones five soaking wet.

While I like that idea, I’m not sure he was gonna find his way here. He had a lot of chances and just couldn’t find that niche.
Riley would have been firmly in the rotation but maybe he felt some of the younger studs would eventually steal some of that playing time as the season progressed to damage his draft value.
He does represent the only true impactful loss in the portal to date.

Yeah I spent time working and travelling through those areas of the midwest just after 9-11. Salt of the earth as we say.

2014-2019. I was in the Logistics Readiness Squadron. I’m sure I threw him a salute or 2 in passing.

Most likely. He was the Col. 2nd in command up until his retirement Aug 2016. (I didn’t realize it had been almost 8 years. Dang we old)
