    Is there some sort of anti-Auburn NIL collective out there from the likes of Alabama, Georgia, and LSU where they pool in leftover money that pays offensive linemen to sign anywhere but Auburn, in addition to what the new/other school gives them to go to that other destination? I could be crazy, but it sure seems that way…

    You joke, but for years I have thought this has been going on. The turds, leg humpers, corndogs have been winning the recruits we all wanted and paying off the 2nd, 3rd and 4th options to go anywhere but Auburn.

    Auburn 'in conversations' with more QBs on transfer board

    It seems a few people took it the same way he did. I guess Harsin's terrible recruiting was due to this message board and Gus's lack of signing O-Line guys was due to message boards. 😂 

    If he thinks this board is keeping recruits away, he would die reading an LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M and Tennessee message board. 

    I'm not just talking about message boards, social media in general. There was an article this week about how the DB Scott that committed to Auburn did so because of the Twitter love he was getting and decided to check the program out. As much as I dislike that playing a part, it is a thing.

    Another thing to remember why portal QB's may not visit here is our O-Line. Yes our staff has done awesome in rebuilding our O-Line and giving us some depth there but these portal guys we got on O-Line have never played together. If I'm a QB in the portal and I've got 1 year of eligibility left and my goal is to get to the NFL, I'm going to a school that has a veteran O-Line, if I can. Perfect example is Devin Leary at NC State. He chose Kentucky over us. Kentucky has a good O-Line for 2023 that has more continuity than we have. Nobody knows how our new O-Linemen will play together. It may take 6 games to gel or maybe a whole season to gel. If I've got 1 year left as a QB, I can't wait half a season or more for my O-Line to gel together. Leary can go to Kentucky, still play in the SEC and play behind an O-Line that's got time together. 

    It's going to take some time and patience but we are definitely headed in the right direction. I also trust Freeze, Montgomery and Austin to make the best decision for our team at the QB position. If that means bringing in a transfer QB in may or just going with Finley, Ashford or Geriner as QB1, then I'm trusting those 3 coaches decision because they've damn sure earned it and they are seeing and talking to these QB's every single day. We as fans aren't. WDE

    No wonder opposing coaching staffs have so easily used negative recruiting against us. "Here son, go read this link, you don't want to play there, they don't like OTs and QBs leave the program in body casts". We know players and parents of those players read message boards and it does influence their decision making. Let's go into 2023 not being a poison pill to the athletic department. I'll return to the shadows now.

    The return of the I-Formation

    I told my son a year or so ago that if LBers kept getting smaller some one was gonna bring back the I formation. To be fair, when Gus was at his best, he used a tight end or H back to motion into a semi I formation. The blocker just never got set or had his hand in the dirt.

    It was OK until every defense keyed on the tight end knowing the ball was sure to follow
