    I love the fact that more than a few coaches on this staff recruit. Last staff seemed to leave it up to 3 or 4 coaches. 

    The two we retained and T Reed were responsible for all recruits we got. I know, I know that is a little bit of an exaggeration, but not by much.

     

    Who would've thunk that making T Reed available to recruit. Would be the only move that Harsin did correctly. I don't remember the specifics, and the more I think about it. It was probably done by necessity?

    @TeamZero77 Where did you find info on that? I've been looking for a couple weeks and found nothing.

    I saw it somewhere on this website somewhere. Not sure where though and not smart enough to search. Lol…The dead period ends the 13th. Which is Friday. So everything as far as recruiting and visits should be back to normal?!?!

    Seems like every QB that hits the portal right now signs with a program an hour later. Spencer Sanders has been in portal over a month and hasn't been able to sign with anyone. Must be some problem that we don't know about. If there are no more visits and no QB has visited Auburn, does that mean we struck out on getting a transfer QB. Several posters have said AU will not sign a Quarterback who hasn't visited.

    Heavy price tag?? 🤷‍♂️

    The Ryan Pugh OL class was the most impressive. Heck he Lee Ziemba and one other  all started their freshman year and were all 4 year starters the year we won the national championship!  
     

    that whole group was the main reason why Cam came to Auburn.
     

    This should be repeated!!  

    Also Grimes’ class was also stellar!!  3-4 yrs later they are in the Natty. So while getting the QB is fun and all. This is the formula for how you win championships!!  So refreshing that CHF realizes that.

    Remember when we won the National Title in 2010 and Cam left for the NFL and we went after Russell Wilson from NC State? It was between us and Wisconsin to get him. Bret Bielema was HC at Wisconsin and they had a stout O-Line. We had lost Ziemba after 2010 and others on our O-Line so Russell Wilson chose Wisconsin since their O-Line was better going into 2011. 

    When Bielema was asked why Russell Wilson chose Wisconsin over Auburn, he said "Because he wants to win and he knew he could win here at Wisconsin." 

    That was a very cocky reply by Bielema but also stupid because we literally had just won the National Title a month before that. I've never, ever liked Bielema and I laughed a little inside when he came to the SEC and got his ass handed to him most weeks. 

    Dude, he had them put the story of how he meet his wife in the Arkansas Gameday program!!  SMH!!

    Need some one that has played!! Only Sanders and Lyddy have played any time at all.

    The article only talks about Lyddy’s  high school career. Which might be the point. Because being named Mr. Louisiana has peaked my interest in the kid…I feel like I watched LaTech this year, but don’t remember what I saw. Lol. . I’d imagine 3 yrs of eligibility he should be able to bring in some 💰   🤷‍♂️ 

     

    edit:: found some stats. 7 games, 750ish, 3td’s, 4 ints…65 percent though!!

    I think the committee got it as close as you could ask for. Both 1st round games in the CFP were amazing games and we've NEVER had 2 great semifinals games in the CFP until this year.

    Committee absolutely got it correct.

    Am I the only one that thinks this game should have been the #1 versus #4 game in the semis?

    To quote the great Peanut from Jeff Dunham skits.

    You threw a slow ball down the middle of the plate. I had to FN swing

    Who is this Ellitor, and what did you do with the other one?  Lol. There’s been a couple other times 😂 at this guys comments. Unfortunately all those threads got locked before I could comment. But this “no pun intended” may be your  best work yet!! :cheers:

    It seems like it. Looks like him, Scott, and Cobb had already signed and they just waited until after ENSD

    Has Cobb signed??  Lol. NVM. Disregard my ignorance!!  Don’t answer that question. If it hasn’t been announced there is a reason for that.…buuuttttt Last I heard was he was gonna sign at February signing day. 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah, I was just coming back to fix that.  I thought he was at THE Katy.  Thanks for the catch.

    I was actually unaware they had more than one school. Which I’m sure is recent??  I remember Plano used to only have one school (long time ago). Used to compete for titles yearly. Then they added another high school. Haven’t been back since. 
     

    Regardless, it Doesn’t mean That area CJ is from is not loaded with talent!!!

    He plays for Katy, which is a powerhouse in the State.  He has great size

    In Katy, but not “the” Katy (the premiere powerhouse)? Not discrediting just asking. 
     

    Also, asked this in another thread about this kid. So that article says he’s signed?!?!  Is he another one that wanted to wait to announce. Scott, has already signed also??

    So in that article on that link. It says he was already signed with AU. Is that correct?  I know there was one guy that was announcing at the AA game, but that had already signed. Was Johnson another one that signed and just wanted to wait to announce?  
     

    I guess really all I’m asking is this a new commit, or one that we already knew about?

    That is the rumor that he signed on ESD but was waiting to announce until today.  That is until Colton Hood let the 🐱 out of the bag 😂

    Still love seeing kids pick us on National TV. I may have cheered when he grabbed the AU cap.

    Serious question; his head coach Mike Gundy is a former QB and has always had good QB's at Okie St. and they've seemed to always put up big numbers under his tutelage. Between Gundy and Freeze, who would you give the edge to as a QB coach? We also have Philip Montgomery and Kent Austin as well that will play a huge part in QB development. I haven't looked to see who Gundy has with him to teach their QB's. 

    I can’t give an answer. It is an interested perspective on Gundy. I’ve never thought of him that way, but as you stated he has had some success with QB’s.
     

    Personally, I tend to think a lot of QBs in the Big-12 in his time have had some huge numbers. One could argue that none had as much success consecutively as Gundy has. So maybe there is some substance to his QB coaching. It’s just hard for me living in Big-12 country to ever admit that. As I read on this board earlier. Ppl love their story to fit the narrative. (Or something like that) lol. I’m sure I’m not different in that regard. 

    Anyways, you ask a great question.  I appreciate opening my eyes to something that I’ve never thought of.  Something about Gundy rubs me the wrong way, but that should not mean I dismiss him as being a good QB coach

    Lew looks exactly as expected....3-4 year starter. 

    D. Reed has been an absolute menace. Very disruptive. Quick and explosive.

    K. Faulk is playing out of position and has still been an impact. 

    K. Lee is looking like a boss. at least 2 great PBUs and an excellent open field tackle from across the field. 

    HAven't seen Scott yet myself.

    Think I saw Scott being assisted off the field in the 2nd quarter. He was waking under his own power. So assisted might not be the correct word.
