Huge OL, 2 year starter at bama, home town kid.   Sounds like a great fit!!!   Let’s go get him!!!

Look at the other thread. This guy can go wherever but not to Auburn. He's burned that bridge. https://www.aufamily.com/forums/topic/185154-portal-discussion-thread/#comment-3683313

Auburn running back target Jamarion Wilcox announces top 4 schools

JD McCarthy
~2 minutes

Auburn offered three-star running back Jamarion Wilcox on Tuesday and are now one of his top schools.

The Georgia native announced his top four schools Thursday afternoon and included the Tigers. They will be battling Ohio State, Clemson, and Kentucky for him.

He is ranked as the No. 39 running back and No. 573 overall recruit in the 247Sports Composite for the 2023 recruiting class. He is also the No. 54 player from Georgia.

The 5-foot-9, 195-pounder has only taken one official visit to Kentucky and has not yet visited the Plains but that could soon change now that they have offered him.

The Douglasville, Georgia product rushed for 2,059 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior for South Paulding High School. He averaged 9.0 yards per carry and 187.2 yards per game.

Auburn already has one running back committed in their 2023 recruiting class, four-star Jeremiah Cobb. He is the Tiger’s highest-rated recruit and the No. 5 running back in the country.

With Tank Bigsby potentially moving onto the NFL the Tigers are looking to add more depth to the room and Wilcox and Cobb would be a strong pairing.

Apparently Tank has indicated that he's heading to the NFL. Were he expected to return to Auburn we wouldn't need a second RB signee.

Not trying to stir any kind of pot: With regards to early signing and enrollment, if any of these athletes go through spring ball and are not satisfied with their current status, can they enter the May transfer portal?  Just curious.  WDE

Absolutely not. I also think that there is going to be a short window of opportunity to turn our program around using the portal. In the not too distant future the powers that be are going to attempt to rein in some of the insanity (for lack of a better word) that currently exists.  JMO  WDE

It would be 12 stars, but I'm out of eligibility...

I hope you are correct. However, considering the Supreme Court ruling I can't imagine how a reining in would work. As my sainted grandmother would say on her wildest day, "It's a mell of a hess".

All SCOTUS ruled on was NIL.  The portal is an entirely different ballgame. 

They could easily go back to pre Covid rules where if you transfer, you have to sit a year.   That would stop a lot of this free agency nonsense.

It's going to be very interesting to see how this developes, but as Jerry Clower used to say "Just shoot up here amongst us. One of us has got to have some relief".  WDE  Happy Holidays

Agree but: The NCAA opened this transfer can of worms because they didn't think their rules would stand up to a law suit. It may not be as simple as reverting back. I would like it if it was that simple but I'm afraid it's not.
