It has been a while since I posted here, but I see both confidence and lack of confidence from posters. There is justification from both camps. My take is that we are a better team than given credit for if we will go out and prove it. If we can get a solid running game going, we have a great chance to win this game. Talent wise, we are as good or better than the pigs. I think we can pass the ball well against them. I think in the past with early games against the pigs, we have done well.  I am going to take the glass half full attitude on this game and say we will win 31-28 in a shoot out.

most entertaining football section thread we’ve had in a while imo 

I try to stay out of controversy if at all possible.  I think you will see a major uptick with coaches and players getting vaccinated in the near future and by game 2, we will be at or over 85% vaccinated rate.  I think whatever lessons to be learned, have been learned and we will be the better for it.

Hmmm.   The turds have two of the nation's top 6.    thUGA is in the hunt for a couple of good ones also.  How does OU land two of the nations top backs again?  I have no idea. 

 

I would absolutely be ecstatic if we land Alston and Judkins to be honest and good to see you back on here. 

 

Good to be back!

Yeah, I haven’t heard a bunch of stories out of T-town about Saban sitting around playing Yahtzee with the guys on the weekend. Which is too bad because I really like Yahtzee

more like spin the bottle or post office with Saban!

If we could get both Alston & Judkins, we would have likely the best group recruited in the SEC for 2022. Does anyone know of  anything concerning this ?  Thanks!  Doc

I see this in our favor if I am right.  With PSU landing Allen, this should open the door back up for us with him. Am I correct with the analysis? Appreciate feedback folks!

WDE!  Doc

We have got to win this battle for sure. I do not think I can stomach another loss to UCF.  It seems all of the crystal balls are pointing our way for him.  We land him, this will go a long way to getting things started with landing some big time state recruits. We look to be in good shape with some other recruits as well.

1 ) Six of those were used to finish out the class of '21. If the three left count forward, then we will have 22 slots left for next year's class. (25-3=22)

2)That's not how it works. We could lose half the team to the transfer portal and our annual limit would still be 25.

this makes sense now!  Thanks Mikey!

I have a question or 2 about transfer portal recruits.  We have 9 players gained in the transfer portal, more than any team in the SEC.  Does this number take away from the 25 total we have that would leave us with 16 slots left for the 2022 class total.  If you take away the 5 commitments we have, this leaves us with 11 available slots to fill.

One other question....with the players we lost in the transfer portal, does this open up a potential additional slot for each one? (example...let's say we lost 8 players in the transfer portal, does this open up 8 additional slots we can fill to make up for these? Not sure how this all works, but would appreciate some insight into this.

Thanks & WDE Doc

Glad to see that the charges were dropped against this young man. Now he can concentrate on school and football for his last collegiate year. I hope he has a breakout year and gains attention by NFL scouts.

Great to see you posting more Doc!! Hope all is well with you brother.

Thanks!! Glad to be back.

I wonder if Apple Computers will have any NIL for Auburn athletes?  Same goes for Yellow Wood. Lot of $$$$$ there folks.  

I think Robertson will do fine and will provide a lot of leadership to the young but talented receiver corps we have. I do not expect him to be the top receiver on the team, but will have his fair share of catches. I think the law issue will resolve itself and will be a non-issue come the season. I do not think CBH would have wasted a slot on him if he did not think this will not get resolved.  What he did was wrong no doubt, but I think he wants the chance to prove he can still be a competent receiver on our team.

Got to love this image of Harsin. He is ready to do some thievery to make 2021 a special season that a lot of folks have not seen coming. He wants to win now and not down the road. Of course he wants to win down the road as well. I really love this coach and we have not seen anyone quite like him around the football program.  I would not be surprised to see us right there with the big dogs in the SEC in 2021. If we have a really strong season, and I see this coming to fruition more and more with each act Harsin performs with precision, this will lift our recruiting efforts to the level we need to be near the top of the SEC. Got to love this coach for sure!

I know this is hyperbole, but it presents a fun side of the coach.  We all know he is a very serious coach with a dead on focus to be the best he can be in the SEC.  Harsin has been rated the best of all of the new coaches coming into the SEC for their first season. Once we get recruiting up to the speed it needs to be, then our program will be on its way to being very successful.

Cody Brown was released from his NLI let’s see if Brooks is next 

I think it is a matter of time before Brooks is a Tiger.  It is a shame that UT will not go ahead and grant the young man what he wants. Hopefully it will be a few days before it happens.  This will put us around the 20th spot in the recruiting for 2021. Not a bad jump for the 40s to the 20th spot in the recruiting ratings. I think Harsin will recruit well at Auburn and will win a lot of games for us.  I really like Harsin and think he is going to make an excellent coach in due time.

Nice get....We are off to a great start with picking up quality DLs.

I remember that game well.  S. Davis was a beast at times!!!

I think Tank Bigsby will be in the same mold as Davis. He has his size and footwork. I think Tank is actually faster than Davis. I believe that Tank will be a beast and will have a great career. not too many backs can compare to Davis.

Maybe another Joe Burrow!

any idea of his 40 time? Good size at 6-5 no doubt. BTW....I tested positive yesterday for Covid19.  I have had a nasty cough for about 2 months and just could not shake it. My wife insisted on me getting tested and I am glad I did. 14 days of isolation of which is no fun!

Let's just win a lot of games and the rest will take care of the rest of the rest and then some!

If we land him and his team mate, we should be on the way to developing a decent corps of tackles with what we have on hand.  We have some big bodies already on the team and adding these guys will help to go a long way.  If we are going to compete in the SEC West, we have got to have some quality tackles leading the way.

This young man looks the part of a dynamic OT size wise and biceps in his pics. I hope we are on an uptick with getting some quality OTs overall. It seems like we have some good OGs in the bullpen ready to go. I hope we can get some really good quality OTs no doubt.

@doc4aday don't know. Hasn't been reported yet.

Hey Ellitor.....how many do you think we need to possibly take?  Thanks & WDE!

how many OTs are we planning to take in this class?  We need as many as we can get.  Tennessee  is starting to get on my nerves with all of the 5 star recs they are getting. We should never be outdone by them period.

we could flip him. We took away one last year from the vols right out of their back yard so you never know.
