We have scorers, not shooters. Scorers can get hot and score in bunches. Shooters are consistent. We thought Denver and Aden would be shooters. Unfortunately, to date, that is not the case. It will be hard to make a deep run in the tourney with this team. A long, athletic team like UK will give us fits. Broome cannot carry the entire load against premier teams.

As a PWO. Good for him. I hope it works out for him.

Rooting for him to make it. Seems like a good kid.

Walker is not coming. He is headed to bammer. Bammer basketball is getting help from saban. I guess they offered Walker a $2MM NIL package. They play the recruiting game at a different level.

That would be great to hear. All I heard from his interview was that Auburn was definitely in the mix. Didn't sound overly optimistic but he may be playing his cards close to the vest. Worried his teammate headed to bammer may carry a lot of influence. I can only imagine the NIL deal bammer is offering. Can the yellow wood man step up to the table and get us in the game for Walker?

Saw where AL.com moved Khurtiss up to #2 on the Top 15 HS Football Player List. Jumped from like #6 up to #2. That should tell you everything you need to know about where Khurtiss will be playing his college football.

Worry about the OL. The DL will be solid as long as we have Garner.

Grimes ain't going anywhere. Who do you think Gus could hire as an OL coach? His circle of trust is so small. We are stuck with Grimes for another year. His OL will be a large factor in next year being Gus' last one.

I would be thrilled with #7 right now. I am fearful we are going to lose some of our top recruits. I hope we can convince them to stay on board and let's see which assistant coaches we can get to try to turn this disaster around.

So that's what a talented, well coached OL looks like? They are massive and get to the next level. Our LBers were getting road graded all night long and they have RBs that can take it to the house. We have Gus' buddies that can't recruit and can't coach. Our OL looks like a HS team. Hard to win when you get dominated at the LOS all game. But as we have always heard, stars don't matter. BS. And it doesn't help that we do not develop the players we do bring in. Total FAILURE by the coaching staff. Hope there are several all american OL transfers this year.

I have 0% confidence we have the offensive coaches (OC, OL, RB) to improve this offense. The handwriting is on the wall. If we cannot run the ball on USM and Ark we will not run the ball on Miss St, UGA, and bammer. The coaches apparently do not have the ability to shift our offense to a pass first attack with short slants and passes over the middle. After seeing USM use crossing routes and pseudo pick plays I said USM has a much more advance passing attack versus our passing game. I think our D keeps us in most games (not UGA and bammer - both blowouts). We play Miss State close but they beat us at home. We will fight tough games against UT, TAMU, Ole Miss. Probably an 7-5 season with not much optimism about the OL and RB for next year. I think Stidham leaves either way after this year. Pros or grad transfer. He knows he needs to be on a passing team that has an OL and pass routes to get open. Sounds like the sky is falling. If Gus was a quality HC that cared about AU he would go ahead and start looking for a new OL coach that can coach and recruit and a new RB coach. But we all know that is not going to happen. I have seen nothing the last two weeks that show our offense is improving. Harsh reality.
