Auburn basketball’s season has concluded, and now it is time for two of Auburn’s seniors to make the decision of lacing up in the orange and blue one last time or moving on to another chapter in their lives.
[autotag]Jaylin Williams[/autotag] was a mainstay in the Auburn lineup all season, and [autotag]Allen Flanigan[/autotag] took over the starting role in the three position for 19 games this season. Both players contributed to the Tigers making their second straight NCAA Tournament, and will now have to decide if they will be a part of Auburn’s hunt for a third straight postseason berth.
Following Saturday’s round of 32 loss to Houston, both Williams and Flanigan were asked about their final season of eligibility due to COVID. Both were reluctant to say that they had thought about it before Saturday.
Williams says that he will now talk with three important people about using his final year.
I haven’t really thought much about it you, know. I’m locked into what’s now — what was now. So now I will think more about it, and talk with my mom and my family, and talk with B.P., and see what’s best for me and what’s going to work out. Never really thought much about it.
Flanigan says that he has been focused on the “now” and not “what’s next?” during the season. But now, his decision is as important as ever.
We was focused, locked-in on the season. Wasn’t thinking about what’s next for us. We was locked in on the season trying to expand the season and keep going and keep playing with this team. Now that this has come to an end, sit down and talk to coach, and talk to my family and make a decision.
Seven players on Auburn’s roster are set to graduate, with [autotag]Zep Jasper[/autotag] being the only known player who will not return due to zero eligibility remaining.
