There's a transfer thread in the Rivals section now that can be pinned. If you want something separate for announcements only then feel free to create a thread & I'll pin it. Regardless I will not maintain or run it because I only care about who transfers to AU. I really don't see a point in creating a new thread for it though since 247 has a transfer announcement page complete with ratings out of high school or juco that everyone can bookmark if they want to follow it

Transfer portal is a part of CFB now but it doesn’t matter. Thanks for tbe link. I’ll be paying attention to the latest transfer and see if he applies for the waiver.

The only reason I posted mine here was because he was predicated to Auburn.

Yep.

This guy didn't look like anything special, but I'd like one just like him in the middle of my offensive line.  He's a big ball of hate...nearly killed one of his offenssive line mates when he was with the Bears.

I’m sure the coaches are trying to be patient and see how National Signing Day pans out, but I’ve been extremely disappointed in the guys that we’ve missed out on so far in the transfer season. These are guys that we heavily recruited, but have had no traction with after they decided to transfer.

Justin Fields QB

Luke Ford TE

Deangelo Gibbs S

Aubrey Solomon DT

Then there’s other 5* players that we hear nothing about. 

Drew Richmond OT (BIG need)

George Campbell WR

Jaelin Phillips OLB

Deandre Jones OLB

I know OT is the biggest position of need, but I hope we are heavily recruiting Parker Braun from Georgia Tech. He was a 2nd Team All-ACC as a sophomore and a 1st team All-ACC as a junior. He started 32 straight games at LG and was arguably their best player last year. I would take this kid in a heart beat over Horton.

Hate to burst your bubble @CameronCrazy but we didn't go after any of the guys you mentioned after they transferred so there is no missing out on or no traction to be applied.

We would not bring in Fields with Bo having just signed.

Luke Ford was dead set on going home to Illinois.

We are pretty set at Safety so no need for Gibbs.

We were never in the thick of it for Solomon out of high school. Besides he wouldn't come to AU to be a 2nd string DL.

Richmond only has 1 year to play left in college so having him sit behind Tega & Driscoll is nowhere near a big need.

AU was never in the thick of it for Campbell & we have a lot of talent at WR as is.

Jaelin Phillips would be a Buck in our system & we have enough of them on roster as is.

Not sure Keandre Jones would be an option for AU. Our staff likes our projected starters for 2019 & I don't think he's a guy wants to be a 2nd team LB

Now he would be a valid guy to look at but not sure the staff would bring in a GT Guard to start over 2 SR starters.

I respect your opinion, E. And had it not been for the Judge Judy eye roll, I wouldn’t have replied....

First of all, thats the problem... we didn’t even pursue these guys. Instead we are pursuing LaMichael flippin Pettway. Outside of Brown, Coe, Davidson, Tega, and Seth Williams, I think we can upgrade every position.

Justin Fields - still think he’s a once in a decade type player. Would take him over Bo Nix in a heartbeat.

Luke Ford - understandable

Deangelo Gibbs - we are set at safety? Dinson is terrible and Thomas is too inconsistent. I do like Sherwood and Smoke Monday, but everyone else could be upgraded.

Solomon - I seem to remember Garner getting in on him after he de-committed from Michigan the first time but could be wrong.

Richmond - We need talented depth next year. I’m also not convinced that he wouldn’t be an upgrade to Driscoll.

Phillips & Campbell - touché. Again, I just don’t understand why we are pursuing LaMichael Pettway and not more talented options.

Keandre Jones - we are razor thin at LB.  If we start experiencing the injuries at LB that Alabama experienced the past two years then we would be dead in the water. Britt & Wooten haven’t done anything impressive to date, so I doubt it would take much to convince a talented LB to come to Auburn after looking at our depth chart.

Braun - so we should value a guy’s seniority rather than his talent level? Horton is a huge problem and liability at RG. I think we could upgrade every position on the OL with the exception of maybe Tega.

Boom or bust type guy. He's a GT with 2 years of eligibility. He sprained his ankle early last year when it was thought he was going to have a breakout season.

So I was thinking about former FSU QB Deandre Francois and all that has happened with him now being in the Transfer portal. The girl that accused him of abuse on Instagram leading to his dismissal from the team recanted her statement. Said it was a lie....i don't rememeber much about him last year maybe he was hurt but was it 2016 or 2017 he showed a lot of promise just didn't have any protection. He was a highly touted 4 star recruit....number 3 PP in the class...and has athleticism to do well in our offense? What are the thoughts of this prestigious board?

  Talented kid however if there is  even an inkling of  A domestic issue with him I don’t see Gus making a run.

Well and I would agree with his decision and I havent done the research into his entire past, but I also believe in the Constitution, and that one is innocent until proven guilty. That is part of the problem in todays Cultural climate is all someone has to do is get mad and say you did something and it can ruin your entire life. If that is the only issue there has been and the witness recanted her statement then the kid deserves a second chance. I'm sure there are plenty of people on the payroll that will sift through the details. My bigger question is do you think he would be a good fit and do you think he would be worth pursuing?

1.  Yes 2. Can’t answer that question without knowing the real domestic situation with him. Plus I usually don’t have an opinion on if a kid is worth pursuing without knowing first if Auburn is actually interested.

Yup. Supposedly the issued apology from the girl was fake. Someone apparently hacked her social media accounts & made the apology.

Not the first time its happen with this guy. He is not a team player all about himself. This comes from some FSU guys in the the know. I don't want him anywhere near AU

Bama’s highest rated recruit from last year put himself into the portal. Linebacker named Anoma.

Still waiting on Ben Davis. His fellow recruits are already entering the NFL and he basically hasnt played much.

Anoma took himself out of tbe portal.

Speaking of the portal:

A NICE Gary Patterson quote:

“I have a new phrase -- portal parents -- staying away from,” Patterson said. “You can already tell if it’s not going the way they need to that they’re going to be changing. It’s kind of like when I interview coaches, I interview their wife. When kids come in, I want to make sure I bring their parents with them.
