Maybe practice depth. He can play with the scout team.

He is still better than anything I have ever witnessed at Auburn.

BS. Like I said, it looks like the end when lies start to be made up about the coach.

This reminds me of the ending of Sonny Smith's tenure when he lost his lead recruiter. Now, it is the loss of NIL money. We want to go back to empty arenas and crickets.

You can't show me evidence that "blueblood coaches" discipline their players while Pearl does not. You are talking about coaching style, not whether a coach or not maintains discipline.

You want to start over in recruiting after two years? No thank you. I think people can forget about compiling lists these days. Fire your coach and all the kids transfer out. Also, there are no great coaches to compile lists on. Those days are over.

You get excited about the PR not the commitment. The PR helps with other commitments and builds an energy.

Player discipline doesn't seem like a strong suit for any coach at any team that is competing at a high level. You want discipline go hire a Tommy Joe Eagles clone and let him recruit and win eight games a year. Bryan Harsin would be an even better choice. This is not the military. These are immature children that you have to motivate to action. You do what is necessary and that requires you giving them power.

I remain at 7-5 too, but there will be incredible expectations of something better. Maybe, we can expect some excitement on offense. That might be the next step.

We probably would have gone to him earlier if grades were not an issue. Because of limited funds, we are looking at players with grade issues and past accusations. I'm not against Bruce trying everything to build a competitive team. My guess is the lack of funds will lead Bruce into retirement quicker. He is not going to sit around and get his brains beat in by teams like Alabama with superior talent.

I've got similar concerning questions or comments like we don't need players like CMo to be receiving any kind of compensation beyond a scholarship. Ivy going to UCF is a sure sign we don't have much money left.

You got that right. This is a legit linebacker, no rotational piece.

You can look at his picture and see talent. 6-3, 200. Not a small linebacker. He has thickness and range.

Are you sure Kansas and Duke are after him? He only visited UCF and Wake Forest according to 247. He has played at minor schools and jumped around from team to team.

No way he is a better fit. If he were, we would have targeted him before Duke. We are going down the NIL/talent payment order. We can pay more than Wake Forest and UCF I guess. This kid is jumping around from team to team looking for money and playing time.

Point guards are needed.

They are going to dominate the league this year. They just signed all the top players. Where are they getting the NIL?

Agree.

Lack of talent and mediocre coaching. Our past does not define us.

It will be a roster that finishes top 4 or 6 in the regular season and win one tournament game. After the last two freshmen busts (Westry, Holloway), I'm not expecting Pettiford to give us elite play. We need an NBA guy or two. It seems like those days are over. The Turds meanwhile will be competing for the top position.

Why would we give money to guys who can't play?

Passthebiscuits can confirm. Where is Alabama getting the money? That is what really sucks. They are paying out a lot to get all of these players.

Yep. It is also in response to the thought that we are going to lose a lot of seniors/experienced players next year. I don't think that is a problem because we will not be losing high end talent when that happens. We will be ever strengthening some positions like the QB and OL talent. Give me young and good over old and bad any day of the week.
