Two leaders for Lenz

  • http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Two-leaders-for-Lenz-71153

    JUCO power forward Renan Lenz has two leaders and is close a decision.

  • BM, if you had to guess, where does he end up? Is this the kid that was quoted during his visit that said that all of the coaches tell you the same thing, but Coach Barbee didn't?

    I think Auburn is in fairly good shape for Lenz. It was Orlando Sanchez that had that quote. I hope to have an update on him soon.

    Tigers host two JUCO bigs

    Two junior college big men visited Auburn this weekend.

  • Thank you sir. It'd be great to get them both, even if we have to "creat" a space for them...

    FYI, there are reports that Orlando Sanchez has committed to St. John's. It's probably true but his coach was unable to confirm it a few minutes ago.

  • Thanks for the update!

    Just saw this...

    so which player is getting kicked off the team, considering we don't have a spot for another player.

    Don't know who plans to transfer.

  • Chubb and Lenz on the court together? When was the last time Auburn had two caucasions on the court at once? Maybe Scott Puhlman and the big guy whose dad was a professor at Auburn. Bring him on!

  • That's too bad, from what I have read, Sanchez is a much better prospect.

  • If Auburn is going to improve in basketball, then they need more talented players and more "bigs" with skills. Ron Chubb is very limited in what he can do even though he is a very hard worker and tends to get into foul trouble when guarding the other 5 man. Frankly, the talent level on the rest of the team, as one coach told me, is simply not that high. Hopefully, this class has the shooting guard we need, the true point guard who can shoot fouls and a big man who can score, rebound and defend the other team's big man. If we miss on both big men, it will be tough to improve in the SEC, but not impossible. The quick turn around I envisioned with Coach Barbee due to his recruiting skills has just not materialized yet.

    We have all three type of players in this class that yu mentioned we needed:

    SG - Price (Not to mention McAfee who will be a redshirt Fr)
    PG - Greene
    Big Man - Dixon-Tatum (who I think may end up the best player in the class)

    Add in the athletic Johnson and long/rangy Granger, and this class is already providing us what we need. Lenz would be the icing on the cake.
