penguin149 390 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I just don’t see our OL and WR roster attracting someone like Caleb Williams. Hope I’m wrong! Really don’t like getting a huge NIL deal together for him. What could that do to the locker room? I would not be happy if the new guy gets a huge deal while all the others get crumbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Dukes on 247 says we're evaluating him. Not a member there so couldn't read the details. Worth noting that Bodie Reeder recruited him heavily in HS when he was OC at Utah State. The kids a stud and a great fit for Harsin. Hope we throw some of that CW money we had at him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the NFL, and the league minimum is $660,000. Typical lame internet argument that is irrelevant if facts are involved. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that would be a smart move on his part.....maybe. I guess having your old OC could have it's benefits but it's WVU for heaven's sake.

USCw was 4-8 this year in a weaker league. Is their roster really in better shape than ours?

Hell, I’m guilty myself sometimes. I guess it’s just part of Auburn DNA I have so many acquaintances who didn't grow up in the SE and don't know squat about CFB but absolutely know the name Auburn. It's like we're scared that the least bit of self respect will end in disaster. Meanwhile, AU basketball twitter is living their best lives and talking their ish. Like, they're the ones that should absolutely be waiting for the other shoe to drop, but they're choosing to just have fun instead. Because that coach actually does have one of the hardest jobs in America and he's thriving. Huh. Maybe it's not actually so hard of a job when your employer has the resources of a major state school in, by far, the most athletic corner in the country. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunndone414 469 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I grew up in Alabama, and at 18 I had no interest in leaving the south. But I think we sometimes discount the off the field attraction of a place like USC for an 18-23 year old football player. Regardless of football pedigree (and I agree with posters above that commented on our fans underrating our power as a program), there are some things USC can offer off the field that we just can’t. Those things won’t appeal to everyone - but we can’t deny they exist just because they don’t appeal to all of us. I don’t know enough about CW to know where he falls on that question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LA night life and California girls ($1 to Beach Boys) would be the others. USC has been irrelevant for a good while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not actually so hard of a job when your employer has the resources of a major state school in, by far, the most athletic corner in the country. I was pondering this last night and agree - lots that can be unpackaged: Auburn is not surrounded closely by dominant program like the FB program is. Auburn owns ATL in recruiting and UGA hasn't done anything on the national level in a very long time (30 yrs - I looked it up). Tenn is good, great, maybe elite, maybe not. Bama is great, probably not elite. UF is very good, not a national power. UK is elite. Ga Tech used to be elite when I was in school, but they are a shadow of what they once were. LSU may be elite. Auburn football is surrounded by two juggernauts and teams like TAMU in our division, buying the #1 class. Also, you can win with 2 great players, 1 very good player and role players (Auburn 2019) - you don't need the same density of elite players, across so many position groups as in football. Lots to compare and contrast here. This is not every consideration but some. I am not saying you said, football can do it easily, you didn't, but I really thought about this last night also. And both do have one of the hardest jobs in America in their respective sports. I like how we are making some in-roads in S Florida in football recruiting (Cam Brown specifically)..
