I'd have to think that Phillips will get all the minutes he wants if he's the player everyone says he is. Who's gonna keep him off the floor? Kid would likely be the best player on the roster next season.

“I can guarantee you 25 minutes per game” - Bruce Pearl

“If you work hard and be the player we think you can be, I could see you easily playing at least 25 minutes per game” - Rick Barnes

See the difference?

I’ll be hoping for Broome to pick Auburn, indirectly could limit available minutes for Phillips.

I think he's headed to Florida. I didn't see any Auburn players in his comment section like they were for Phillips telling him to come. Not that means anything but they were in Traore's comment section and on Twitter lobbying for him to come to Auburn. If Broome does indeed choose Florida the paint will be clogged up with him and Castleton on the floor together because they are both true Centers.

I wonder if we would have interest in Dylan Cardwell this time around. He may be gone with Broome coming in. No offensive game but explosive athlete and shot blocker.

I doubt he transfers. I think the reason he picked Auburn in the first place was family ties. I think his uncle coached there for a long time and the way he is so involved with the student body there I would be shocked if he transferred. Now if they were to get Phillips, I can see Jaylin Williams transferring as he is a senior.

I don’t really see any minutes for him there especially if Phillips commits. But dont think he has the luxury of waiting on Phillips before the deadline.

Traore/Broome/Cardwell, the first 2 can play the 4 some, that’s 80 minutes for 3 guys. Cardwell only saw 11mpg last year, so Eden just 15-18mpg would be an increase for him.

I just need Julian to decide so I can get a kick start on the 5 stages of grief if he does inevitably choose Auburn. This recruitment feels like it has been draaaaaaaaaaaaaged out. Not sure what else there is to do.

I agree, I think it’s also because we already went through this saga once with him when he initially chose LSU out of the blue

What are the odds Auburn offered him a blank check they can’t cash just to secure him? Which is why Barnes went to the media claiming teams are throwing out numbers they don’t actually have lol you would think these recruits would be smart enough to ask to see those business deals in writing though, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens

Get a neutral site game in SC is something that would help and apparently is being discussed.

His circle is wanting him to explore every single option before making a decision (which I don’t blame btw). UT feels like that have a shot, but like I said a few weeks ago, I’m not putting much stock into any info until he is signed and enrolled.

Neutral site game against who? A SC school? Maybe Clemson?

In all Vol and biased but a bit surprised Auburn is recruiting so well. They had violations a bit ago but I guess that doesn’t mean anything to the recruits? I met the guy once but don’t know what type of person Bruce is. I’m a bit surprised that his son is recruiting so well.

Had some second hand interactions with his daughter while he was in Knoxville. She was not a fan (probably stemming from his marriage falling apart around that time).

Yeah, I’m sure it was difficult for his daughter. I’m still surprised Pearl has been able to recruit as well @ Auburn.
