Early enrollees can't play in the bowl game correct?

Dee Ford was 190lbs as a high school senior. Reports have Waller about 240. Either way, I hope he's as relentless as Dee Ford was at rushing the QB.

Do these unofficial visits have to come out of the recruits own pocket or is it just that the university can't pay for it? Could a booster or NIL sponsor these trips now? 🤔

Likely knew they didn't have a snowballs chance in Hell of being employed by Auburn by the time Perry graduated.

I think we're giving TJ to much flack for his limited time last season and ZC to much credit based on the bama win. TJ was 54.7% behind our OL and ZC was 56.1% behind a TAMU OL. Unless both of these young men make major strides this off season, it won't matter who starts. I think ZC not being available hurts TJ. I'm not sure he's really been challenged this off season. Here's hoping a true star emerges by Fall.

I thought it was reported that Kiesau turned the offer down before Austin took it, saying he didn't think he was ready.

You must have Master's degree in building straw man arguments because last time I checked the overwhelming majority of college athletes are undergrad students. And no undergrads bring in more money than football players at places like Auburn. And the billions of research funding universities get is mostly due to a professor's research and grant writing. So unless you as a grad student wrote a grant proposal that was accepted and funded, I highly doubt that you were "personally responsible" for bringing in a few million dollars. You were just the hired help to carry out the project like most grad students. I'm a dissertation away from my PhD at Auburn and was part of the planning committee that just helped the university secure a $10M National Science Foundation (NSF) grant in August. So yea I know a little bit about "elite grad students" and that grant had very little to do with them personally.

I was lied to all these years!! I guess beggars CAN be choosers!😆

If chemistry students were annually bringing in millions of dollars to a school, you best believe they would have figured out how to get their share while in college. Capitalism is the American way after all. So yea I won't be pining for those days as long as schools are paying coaches $7M+ per year to coach (or not coach) based off of potential talent. Auburn will figure it out or we'll become a gymnastics/equestrian/soccer school.

I guess you've never had to depend on rides from other people. If the people (I'm assuming other recruits/teammates) aren't going to Auburn, then you aren't going to Auburn. It's not Uber. You don't really get to pick the destination.

Word is he doesn't have great transportation and has to depend on others for rides.

I've seen the list on another site and it's bananas! Some are saying this is the may be the best selection of recruits on campus ever! Even better than the Chizik/Luper/Trooper years!

Yes!! Now if we could get a program from 2-4 in the Montgomery/ Auburn-Opelika area i could completely delete any need for infidel radio!
