It's turning into quite the dilemma to fill these last 2 spots.. 

@TAYLORKEETONWe have 4 spots left & likely want to fill 3 of them.

Well then, will Aden Holloway have to sit a year at bammer? If not, why not?

@Mikey@NoALtiger @TigerPAC No because they are in different seasons. Football is a Fall Sport & basketball is a Winter sport. The deadline for Fall sports to be in the portal and play immediately wthin the SEC is February 1st. For Winter sports it's May1st. Aden entered the portal around April 20th, a week & half before the winter sport deadline. Link

Quote

In order to gain immediate eligibility, a student-athlete will need to declare his or her intent to transfer by February 1 for Fall sports, May 1 for Winter sports and July 1 for Spring sports.

How can the SEC enforce a transfer sit-out rule when the NCAA can't? Genuinely asking.

@phillyeagle The NCAA could still at the moment if they wanted to but they chose not to by changing their own rules to where transfers can play immediately. Conferences can still go above that & set their own internal conference transfer rules.

Do we have any interest in Tony Mitchell (DB from Thompson who just hit the portal from bama)?

@tinman1 he’s interested in Auburn, but it remains to be determined if Auburn is interested in him.

we want to add at least one more from the portal

@Zeek I agree if we lose 2 more but where have you seen we wanted at least 1 more transfer? JLee has said for a week or more that it's an option to take 1 more but that we weren't definitely going to.

So, I saw an article that said CHF is planning to add 4 more players through the portal.

@AUpreacherman22 Sounds like the staff will be good if they only add 2 more players, ILB & CB. but will keep an eye out at other positions.

Any idea on targets and or visits?

Khalil Jacobs, USA LB just visited AU. And 4* transfer CB Javion Cole from San Jose St. is visiting next week.

Was a 4 team race

UGA is Out

Bama is pursuing the Duncanville QB

USCw is trying to hang on.

Auburn is surging

Deion is hanging around too.

Headline from Jason Caldwell-Really good update on JuJu Lewis

JC overhyped it. It wasn't really good. It wasn't bad either though. Basically he is OVing USC, AU, & Colo the 1st 3 weekends in June in that order and will have a final decision before his SR year starts.

I don't understand getting more wrs, we already have too many that are going to want the ball.

@cole256 Nost of the ones we had before the incoming freshman class & transfers we brought in since January simply aren't good. They couldn't run the correct routes, much less catch the ball.

You got us beating Oklahoma? Wow. 

@DAG OU historically has not been a great road team, even against less talented teams. That was in a Big 12 that's weaker than the SEC. Life on the road in year 1 in the SEC could be tough for OU. Also AU is their 1st SEC road game. The atmosphere will be nothing like they have ever seen in the Big 12, especially when you factor they never had to go to Austin to play Teexas.

We've landed everyone we targeted 

Off the top of my head we missed on AJ Harris. Wouldn't be suprised if we missed on a few others as well.

Going forward, let's please start a new thread for each player when a transfer commits to AU like we have always done. When I have time, I have quite a bit of cleaning to do in this thread with the various commits.

You do? The fact we are running it back with mediocre  thorne should be more than enough proof…

Yup. Because there's no way that Thorne can improve when CHF is hands on with QBs like he's going to be this year & like he was at Ole Miss & Liberty.

With all the coaching changes especially at bama many players that officially committed to a school can now transfer. This means some schools will lose some 2024 players and some will pickup some players.

Today when I looked there has been no update to reflect the changes. Will there be an update after 2nd signing period and will it reflect these changes?

@AuburnNTexas No. Rankings for 2024 high school signing classes remain the same. Any high schoolers who sign & end up elsewhere will be credited to their new schools as transfers, not high school signees.

So have the aspirations of this class being historic just evaporated? A lot of people on the board have been saying to expect a Top 5 class in 2025. Is that still possible? Seems like we aren’t winning or leading battles for the big dogs.

@AUght2win Bird is the only 1 note worthy I've seen predict it. I'm in wait & see mode.

Wonder if this potentially pulls TD back in the fold?

@tigeraddikt Likely depends on what he & his mom can get on the market. They are shopping for NIL & PT.

Think any of these will “commit” soon?

@TigerPAC Yes

Just changed his announcement date to April 11th per JLee. Incidentally Miami's spring game is April 13th.

I believe he will announce on the day of the spring game.

@Zeek Day before. He's committing Friday the 5th, I believe at noon. A Day is Aplril 6th.

I don't rank on potential. 

Since he got to a Natty at Washington, by beating Texas in the process, it's more than just potential.
