Last week, the other writer on FlyWarEagle.com — who happens to be my son — argued that the Auburn basketball team starting an all-freshman starting five would give the team the best chance to win.
Based on the last two games, I’d say that’s hogwash.
In fact, a senior and a sophomore in the starting backcourt are sorely needed on this team. Putting senior Ronnie Johnson and sophomore Bryce Brown on the court with three freshman — Austin Wiley, Mustapha Heron and Danjel Purifoy in the front court — would bring stability and a sense of calmness to the offense, two qualities sorely needed.
