HOOPS: SEC hoops players of the week

Great news, Ole Miss fans. These guys are coming to your building this week.

SEC Player of the Week – Auburn forward/center Johni Broome, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound senior from Plant City, Fla., led the Tigers with 16 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in a win over No. 6 Tennessee. Playing his first game since suffering an ankle injury on January 11, Broome came off the bench to see 33 minutes of action.

SEC Freshman of the Week – Texas guard Tre Johnson, a 6-foot-6, 190-pound freshman from Garland, Texas, averaged 21.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and a block in wins against over No. 22 Missouri and No. 13 Texas A&M. In Tuesday’s victory over Missouri, Johnson tallied 12 points (5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes. In Saturday’s come-from-behind win against Texas A&M, he recorded a career-high 30 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 threes, career-best 10-10 FT), four assists against one turnover and two blocked shots in 37 minutes. He converted 15-of-16 (.938) from the free throw line in the two contests.

A good start

The latest I'm hearing on Caleb Cunningham..

The four-star Alabama wide receiver commit from Ackerman (Miss.) Choctaw County not only had a great time over the weekend but specific things really stood out to him especially having long talks with Jaxson Dart, Tre Harris and Austin Simmons.

The love shown to him at the game and in The Grove also blew Cunningham away as numerous people told him he should come to Ole Miss. Felt like Cunningham was even taken aback by the level of attention. Ole Miss has not stopped recruiting Cunningham from Day 1 and he "feels really good" about the Rebels right now.

Does he flip? He 's still locked in with Alabama for all the obvious reasons but Ole Miss really impressed him and the coaches telling him he could start as a freshman made an impact as well.

Rivals' final recruiting rankings: my non-scientific analysis.

same old shit as ever.

let's throw OM a couple crumbs, but keep them where they belong. Drop their only 5* to a 4* (and then pay lip service about how it was probably "a mistake"). Add a 5* to Texas. 8 SEC teams ahead of us in the rankings.

Whoop-tee-****in-doo.

I'm not an actuary or a mathematician, but you can't tell me they don't write down teams in the order they want, and then tweak stars until it lines up. such b.s.

Mahomes/Chiefs vs Brady/Patriots hate?

The Chiefs and Mahomes hate is real as is fatigue. I’m a Chiefs fan so it’s been a fun ride to watch and celebrate after all the bad years.
It got me to thinking about Chiefs vs Patriots and Mahomes vs Brady.
The Patriots fatigue was real for me back during their dynasty run.
They had the illegal filming, tuck rule, deflate gate to name a few things that were legit reasons to hate the Patriots and Brady.
What if anything have the Chiefs or Mahomes done to earn the hate? Is it success? The perceived bias with officials?
Genuinely curious.

UM baseball signees turned pro…

I put this together a few months ago and never got around to posting it. I did a little research on players Ole Miss signed that never made it to campus. This was made before the current season started, so it may not be 100% accurate. Many not only never made it to campus, they never made it to the bigs either. I know it’s a crap shoot and people have to take the money, but with the changes this day and age, some may be better off going the college route.
