Barbee snags another big name

Hey everyone. We have received word that power forward Luke Cothron signed with Auburn this afternoon.

Is this a big deal? Absolutely.

He's 6-foot-9 and weighs 220. He has some bulk to him. He can rebound.

Cothron, a Huntsville native who spent last season at a school in North Carolina, was coveted by big-name programs like Kentucky, Connecticut, Tennessee. They all wanted him. Tony Barbee spoke with Cothron the first day he arrived at Auburn and never relented. That effort paid off.

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

Rivals.com has Cothron ranked as the nation's No. 11 power forward and No. 45 overall recruit in the nation.

He is Barbee's second signee. The first, small forward Josh Langford, was rated as the state's top college prospect. Not bad for six weeks of work.

Is this the next Pervis Ellison? Judge for yourself.

WHY, WHY, WHY do you swing at balls when the pitcher is all over the map and you have bases loaded??? And then hit into a double play! Arghhhhhhhh!

Not that you care Peter, but by admitting that you kind of enjoyed the Miami-Tampa game last weekend, you've opened a portal for me to exploit your newfound obsession (I assume that's how you feel about soccer now) with the beautiful game.

As such, here's a match report from last weekend's game.

10:11 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

It was a little chippy...The crowd in Miami is terrible. 700 fans, tops,and over a third were Tampa fans. Then again, Marlins games had 200 turn out twice last year.

Best part was when some Miami reserve players decided to walk over and try and start stuff with the Tampa supporters group. Hats were snatched off heads, punches were thrown, cops were involved.

10:12 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Already read it, E-bro....Tottenham sounds funny, and it's not Arsenal/Chelsea/Man U, but still competitive. Yid Army is attractive to me, yes. I still hate the EPL, though, so I doubt I'll be following anyone any time soon. I don't watch that crap.

10:15 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Too late PF. I'm just gonna assume you love soccer now, no matter how many times you say "I don't watch that crap".

Ajax, a club in Amsterdam and one of the great clubs in club soccer history, is also considered something of a Jewish club. They won the Dutch Cup today as well.

10:30 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Also, Bill Simmons picked them as his team, and had a good argument for them.

10:31 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

I'm aware of that, despite the fact that I don't watch that crap. Ajax is cool to me on several levels. They're winners. What you said. They are in Amsterdam. They're named after the stuff that my mom used to make me clean the bathtubs with.

10:33 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

So, if I decide to like the EPL,which will not happen this year, or next year, I will be choosing to hate Seanzie. I like Coke, though. Maybe he'll get a new job with Pepsi or something by then...and become a Bammer. Or I could just continue to hate the EPL and secretly watch soccer leagues that nobody follows.

10:43 PM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Yeah, I remember reading that Simmons article a couple of years ago. The problem with that was, as the old adage goes (and I'm sure you know this since you're a big soccer fan), you don't pick a soccer club to follow, it picks you. Man United picked me.

Ajax is cool too, though. The cleaning "stuff" factor is hard to deny (though it's probably pronounced a little differently. Plus, as the architects of "total football", they historically play some of the most attractive soccer in the world.

At this point I would be surprised if Regions signs with AU. He made a hasty decision when he announced he was going to AU. He was all UA for a long time and something happened only a few hours (literally) before the presser.

11:01 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

In other news, I think we still sign Dismukes and Reilly.

We may get Regions in the end, but I don;t think he will be solid like Coleman was last year when the big rush came on him. Regions has been pressured a lot to switch. My bet is that he does.

11:03 PM

Wait, let me try this:

Seazie, What about Danny Ross? You know, that 19 year old kid who broke your heart last month in his first game at the top level.

The Ross kid hit a heckuva shot. Though the keeper probably should have handled it. The season was lost well before the Tottenham match, we just didn't know it yet.

From what I hear, both kids have dropped ARK from their list. AU was strong with Frazier, but have moved to the lead for Cook. I have thought for awhile that AU will get Frazier. His relationship with Gus is pretty strong. Cook has been looking because Regions, Dismukes were on him hard on one of his visits.

One final note on recruiting. It is only May. Lots of things can and will change. One thought it that maybe he 'opened it up' to get pressure off of him.

Me come cross town to the Gunners? No chance. I'm United through and through. Glad you got to visit the "Library" and see Bergkamp in 1999, though. What a great year that was, what with United winning the Treble and all. :)

Made it up to Old Trafford back in 2005 to see part of our disastrous Champions League Campaign. Not a great time for the club, but I enjoyed the experience. The game was against Villarreal and it was the first home game after Roy Keane quit the club. Heard a lot of "Keano, there's only one Keano, there's only Keano, there's only one Keano!" that night.

5:41 AM  
Blogger E-Bro said...

Not that you asked me (you asked the other resident Gunner Seanzie), but as far as the USMNT in South Africa, the number of out of form players and not fully fit players is worrying. I know we're in a group we should be caple of navigating, but we generally struggle to break down teams to concede possession to us, which I'm guessing Algeria and especially Slovenia will do. The England will be a huge spectacle, but we'll advance to the next round on the base of our results against the other two in all likelihood.

If we don't advance, then US Soccer will have failed miserably this summer. Can't wait to see how it all plays out. Just a little over a month from now...

It starts out with soccer, but then it rolls into THT hving to put "HOCKEY" at the head of every hockey related comment or Steve, PF, or FSJ putting "TECH TALK" at the head of every cell phone related conversation.

Blogger E-Bro said...

PF...I'm actually with you on that one. I do call it "football" from time to time, but when I do, it's usually a pretty natural use of the word.

I've seen a lot of Americans who call it "football" because they feel they have to prove their fandom for the sport or something. And they often go out of their way to do it, emphasizing every letter and sylable in the word. It's definitely snobbish.

I have no problem calling it soccer. If I call it football, it means I'm in Europe or I'm using it in a descriptive sense.

7:14 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

Yeah, calling a sport that football that actually uses the foot to touch the ball a majority of the time is retarded. The american football sport, where a kicker actually kicks the pall with his foot less than 5% of the plays a game makes way more sense.

7:24 AM

Eddie's right on the logic, but that's not hard to concede. If it was an argument of logic, it would be over in less than a minute. There is no logic to the naming of football in America, but so it goes.

America can be illogical from time to time. The internment of the Japanese during WWII anyone? Slavery in a republican democracy?

Morning gang,
Soccer - I call it soccer or futbol (pronounced with a long u and o so that everyone around me knows the difference)

Glad to have you talking on the blog flow. Welcome.

Hawks - not convinced yet, they had their chance to win on the road, they probably won't lose at home, I hope it goes 7.

Braves - At one point there was talk of Terry Pendleton taking over when Bobby goes. I know he can't hit for them, but it seems (please note I said seems) that the batting averages have gone down each year. I wonder if that makes them consider someone else for the coach.

Tony Barbee - WOW, just frikkin WOW. He's done more for AU basketball recruiting in six weeks than whatshisname did in the last several years. I'm sure it's only a matter of time when people start yelling that he's cheating, if they haven't already.

And to ALL the hottie moms on the board, I hope you have a fantastic, wonderful, and beautiful Mother's Day.

Dismukes said that he is "very happy with my Auburn commitment. I'm 100-percent committed to Auburn and that won't change. I plan to help bring in another top recruiting class."

Cincy, any day is good. The old jail in Madison was converted to a restaurant 10 years ago. They are only open for lunch, so we will have to go then. I think you will like it.

Kathy,
Sounds great. My email is on my profile. Why don't you send me an email and I will send you my cell number. When we get a little closer I will have a better idea of our schedule and we can make plans.

Anyone watch 'Community' last night?

Probably the most entertaining half hour of TV programming I've seen this year.

USMNT...may get out of the group stage. If they don't it will be another international failure.

2004 seems so long ago...Auburn went undefeated...Arsenal had the Invincibles...need more of that.

yep, it's been almost 5 years now, Seanzie. I can't wait until 2010. I got a good feeling.
