Do you actually believe that these people are not entitled to a hearing under current immigration laws?

What part of, They have broken State and federal laws don't you understand by invading this country illegally? They are criminals the second they cross into this country illegally, should be sent back to their home country and have ZERO rights to any immigration laws by not following proper and legal channels!

It is not wide open.  PERIOD.  That is nothing but a talking point.  If it is wide open today, then it was wide open 3 years ago as well.  I believe we do need strict immigration laws and that our system needs to be reformed.  I also believe that someone brought to this country as a child that has only known this country as their home, should be granted a path to citizenship.

WOW, you have 100% swallowed the leftist propaganda cool aid---PERIOD! We are on track to exceed an invasion of over 2 million illegal immigrants along the Southern border this year with a substantial increase of an additional 200k each month since Biden "signed three executive orders" rolling back previous administrations laws.

There is an immigration problem.  The first step to fixing the problem is immigration reform.  Instead of real solutions, DeSantis chooses to play political games and does so with Florida money.

There isn't an "immigration problem", there is a complete lack of enforcing existing state and federal laws by the current administration! The southern border is wide open with very little enforcement but there is a strong enforcement of Cuban illegal immigrants (they generally are conservative). I don't seem to remember you having any issues with Biden secretly flying illegal immigrants all over the country at night? DeSantis is doing EXACTLY what the Florida public wants and Florida is thriving under his leadership.

Perhaps. Counting heads on a current roster, I see 14 scholarship O-line guys. Two were brought in by Harsin, the other 12 are Gus's signees. This is the second season that Gus has been gone. 12 still standing after two years isn't that bad. What's bad is that nothing has been done to replace those who've graduated or otherwise left.

PS: Tashawn Manning, who transferred out, is starting on Kentucky's O-line. The guys playing now aren't all that bad.

Are you really this dense or blind rabid Gus fan? Harsin has had ONE SIGNED recruiting class pull together in a very short time that was built against SEC schools that had 3 - 4 years of building relationships. Your continued comments are utterly insane as repeatedly pointed out. AU's current OL has 4 starters that have basically started together now being a 3rd year and playing as well as they can as a unit but are extremely lacking in talent, AU's OL is clearly in the lower half of the SEC. Unless the wheels fall for W/L's, I fully expect Harsin to sign the most talented OL compared to pre-Gus's era

Nowhere have I said that MSU has been more relevant than us historically.  I've contended that we are on about the same level.  Both programs are historically middle of the pack in their conferences (MSU is 5th all time in the Big 10, we are 6th all time in the SEC).  Both programs have had a good run in particular decades.  And both programs have about the same number of bowl game appearances since the Big 10 changed rules.

And over the last 10 years, they've been consistently better.  Remember, recruits care about now.  These kids going to college were about 8-9 years old when 2013 happened.  Their frame of reference is more modern.  And quite frankly, as much as I like Harsin's coaching style, Mel Tucker is an ace coach and recruiter himself.

So to say "Why would a kid go to MSU" without understanding some nuance is baffling to me.

"I've contended that we are on about the same level".............. Are you serious?

Auburn historic record 763-447                                          MSU historic record 573-568

Conf. Champ = 8                                                                  Conf. Champ = 1

Bowls = 46                                                                            Bowls = 25 

NC = 2                                                                                   NC = 0

Neither of these teams are very good and LSU looks VERY poorly prepared. This isn't a typical attacking LSU defense. The camera shot of Kelly, reads like a look of "I really made a very bad career choice"

Rick Neuheisel on XM radio has said that Bo plays too fast and cannot slow his mind down. He thinks it's like Bo is coming off his first read before the receiver is out of his cut. He's been saying that Bo has all the physical tools , but will never reach his ceiling if he doesn't slow the mind down. 

He is now into his 4th year of college football, this is his ceiling. He has now had multiple QB coaches, hasn't improved and still make the exact same mistakes.

I stated after his first was completed year at Auburn, Nix isn't coachable! It doesn't mater who coaches him, he still has poor foot work, poor mechanics, he continues to over throw ball over 10 years down field and he is good for 2 - 3 int's against quality defenses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we just basically said the same thing albeit yours was a little more verbose.

 Can't wrap my mind around anyone not seeing that Auburn sabotaged it's own 2023 recruiting class back in February. 

Harsin has been behind the 8 ball since he's been here. 

If he doesn't win some games that he's not supposed to this season Auburn will wind up running him off, and sadly wind up getting rid of one of the most qualified football minds in the history of the school. 

Will we never cease getting in our own way?

Auburn didn't sabotage the 2023 recruiting or the future, at least one booster or several boosters did with their attempted coup and vicious untrue rumors. The university President and AD didn't help because they should have immediately traced down the origin of the rumors after confirming they weren't true, starting with the Auburn website writer that was 100% their conduit and mouthpiece. The University President/AD should have dissociated the booster/s from the program for life and band the writer from campus. By not doing this, they most likely sealed Harsin future and will set back AU football for several years.

Agree with assessment of must win games now. Harsin's future will be known at the end of the PSU game. He MUST win that game and at least 8 games to turn around this train wreck of a coming recruiting class, they both must happen. If AU isn't 3-0 the morning after PSU game, it will be common knowledge AU is looking for a new coach. If not 3-0, the only question is will be if he's fired before or after season. I fully expect AU to be looking for a new coach within the next 6 months and it's a shame Harsin never got a real chance!

Is the current staff this poor of recruiters or is everybody using "dead man walking" against AU?

2021 Recruiting Class

• 4* ER Dylan Brooks - top 100 prospect that we managed to take from Tennessee. Redshirted this past season but will be expected to fight for the starting spot next season. 
• 4* DL Lee Hunter - transferred to UCF after one season. Came in with a lot of bad weight and seemed to fuss the entire time he was here.
• 4* DB Ahmari Harvey - I actually knew one of his high school teachers and coaches. He told me when Harvey committed that he wasn't going to make it here. He transferred to Georgia Tech after one season.
• 4* QB Dematrius Davis - transferred to Alabama State. I'm a little baffled he didn't go to a bigger program. I was concerned when he signed that his style and height wouldn't mesh with Harsin's preference.
• 4* DL Marquis Robinson - saw one game of action before redshirting. Entered the transfer portal but ultimately decided to stay. With the additions of M'ba and Jones I would be curious if Robinson cracks the lineup anytime soon.
• 4* WR Tar'varish Dawson - had all the hype last spring but either an injury or covid sidelined him. One thing that concerns me is even after a year in our strength and conditioning program he is 6 lbs lighter than he was listed coming out of high school.
• 3* WR Hal Presley - transferred to Baylor after a month. Rumors were that he missed his girlfriend. One way or another homesickness caused him to head out.
• 3* ER Tobechi Okoli - very athletic but raw out of high school. Redshirted last season.
• 3* TE Landen King - has been moved to wide receiver permanently and flashed moments of excellence. Played in 8 games recording 5 receptions for 59 yards and 1 TD. He averaged 11.8 yards per catch.
• 3* OT Colby Smith - has gained an inch and 10 lbs out of high school now playing at a massive 6'8" 324 lbs. He redshirted last year and will likely compete for a starting spot in 2023.
• 3* IOL Garner Langlo - standing at 6'6" 300 lbs he could realistically play inside or outside. He redshirted last season.
• 3* DL Ian Matthews - transferred to Missouri. I was a little surprised to see him transfer to another SEC program. Was never overly high on his abilities but felt like he wouldn't bolt after one season.
• 3* RB Jarquez Hunter - it is ridiculous to me that he was rated as the #711 player nationally and only #44 among running backs. Hunter was a massive contributor this year though he struggled against better competition. He has to develop more patience and discipline with his running; especially in short yardage situations.
• 3* LB Joko Willis - transferred from Independence Community College. I would have liked to see more weight put on his frame but we should see more involvement from the sophomore this season. He may bulk into an edge over time.
• 3* CB Ro Torrence - transferred from Hutchinson Community College. Has since left the program for Arizona State. Really a shame I liked his film, length, and upside.
• 3* CB Kamal Hadden - transferred to Tennessee prematurely in my opinion. Some JuCo kids I think expect to come in and start right away. Hadden has since expressed some regret for leaving.
• 3* CB Armani Diamond - at 6'0" 161 he is 10 lbs lighter than he was listed in high school. I honestly felt like we signed him to help seal the deal on Lee Hunter and because we had a huge number of spots left. He redshirted but I think his lack of weight gain is concerning. 
• 3* DB Cayden Bridges - didn't even have a national rating and was listed as the 151st safety in the class. He has drastically outperformed that rating in practices and is expected to fight for a starting spot this season.
• 3* DB Juwon Gaston - one of the very few auburn commits to not academically qualify over the years. He went to Hutchinson Community College with the expectation of coming to Auburn after getting his grades right... that doesn't seem to be part of our plans anymore.
• WR Demetris Robertson - transferred from Georgia. Signed as an UDFA with the Seattle Seahawks. Had 489 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. He was THE main target at one point but something happened along the line to make him much less targeted. Was definitely a good stop-gap solution for a weak receiver core.
• RB Jordon Ingram - transferred from Central Michigan. Listed as a sophomore he is helping add depth to the program. He is also one of many transfers that was originally from Alabama; this helps with building good will in the state. Sadly he does seem to be buried in the depth chart even behind former walk-on Sean Jackson.
• QB TJ Finley - transferred from LSU. I am not a fan let me preface this with that statement. However, without him we likely lose against Georgia State and don't have any quality depth. Whatever we think about TJ the staff obviously felt he was still better than what Dee could have done. I do expect him to transfer out after this season.
• DL Marcus Harris - transferred from Kansas. Listed as a junior for this upcoming season. Played in 12 games last year scoring 1 touchdown, recording 27 tackles (6 for a loss and 2 sacks). He is a great role player and has the athleticism to continue to contribute. I expect him to take a positive step this year and possibly be THE guy in 2023.
• DB Donovan Kaufman - transferred from Vanderbilt. I am not a big fan of undersized players. They are hard to get drafted which then in turn hurts recruiting. That being said, Kaufman is smart and fast enough that he can be utilized all over the field. Listed as a sophomore this year he still has a lot of time left to develop. Kaufman played in 13 games last year recording 34 tackles (1 sack and 2 for a loss), 1 interception, 3 pass deflections, and a whopping 3 forced fumbles. Despite his size the kid can ball. Additionally, he returned 3 kicks for 61 yards.
• DB Bydarrius Knighten - transferred from Southeast Missouri State. Signed with the Houston Gamblers in the USFL. Had 46 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 2 pass breakups. Adding a nice piece to last years team. A shame he was out of eligibility. 
• NT Tony Fair - transferred from UAB. Recorded 9 total tackles, 1.5 for a loss, 1 sack, and appeared in 12 games. A nice rotational piece but not quite the player we hoped for. Signed with USFL team the Philadelphia Stars.
• DB Dreshun Miller - transferred from West Virginia where he was an All-Big 12 honorable mention. Then proceded to only see action in one game. Now he is a walk-on at NC State. How does that happen? Entitled attitudes and poor effort will not get rewarded here at Auburn.
• ER Eku Leota - transferred from Northwestern. Listed as a senior this season (though I think there is a possibility he utilizes his bonus year). Had 23 total tackles (a whopping 10 of which were for a loss), 7 sacks, and one forced fumble. I was VERY excited about this addition and his sack totals show you why. Underrated player even now coming into the season.

28 total additions, 9 of which have left the program, 8 were instant impact performers, and three "one-and-dones" now playing professionally. Not bad at all for such a short notice class.

2022 Recruiting Class

• 4* CB JaDarian Rhym - one of our spoils from plundering the LSU program that imploded towards the end of last season. Is supposedly already pushing for playing time.
• 4* QB Holden Geriner - honestly looked better in the spring game than TJ Finley. The staff really believes he is the long term future of the program. Has all the tangibles.
• 4* DL Jeffrey M'ba - at 6'6" 305 he is going to be a problem. Still very raw and overcoming a shoulder surgery may slow down his impact. If I recall correctly he should have a minimum of three years to contribute. Very high on this prospect.
• 4* OT Eston Harris Jr. - finally a solid and true offensive tackle coming out of high school. It might be a minute until he is ready to contribute but he was a much needed piece to this class.
• 4* TE Micah Riley-Ducker - possibly my favorite prospect out of this class. He has tremendous size and athleticism and a mean streak as a blocker. There is a huge log jam on the depth chart ahead of him but look for him to get some reps.
• 3* DB Marquise Gilbert - comes to us from Hutchinson Community College. When he was recruited some of the staff felt like he had the potential to start right away. It doesn't seem like that is the case now but he will contribute and push for a spot in the two deep.
• 3* WR Jay Fair - a small guy with a lot of speed. I think he will complete for snaps at the slot position. While he will have a lot to learn I think he is more physically gifted than our other slot receivers.
• 3* LB Powell Gordon - a project through and through make no mistake. Another local kid that might be on the bubble of actually being an SEC talent or not. Still his 6-2 228 lbs frame makes him big enough to physically compete. The staff is still split on whether or not he becomes an edge or a more traditional linebacker. After watching him at camps against some of the highest rated offensive linemen I do think his #678 national ranking is ridiculously low.
• 3* DB Caleb Wooden - think Smoke Monday type enforcer with a little bit better football IQ and speed. His ceiling is high and he legitimately is pushing for a spot on the two deep despite being ranked #854th in the nation.
• 4* LB Robert Woodyard - flipped from Alabama (always a huge deal) but will still be recovering from a pretty serious injury. I don't think we see much of him this year but he should develop well for us.
• 4* DB Austin Ausberry - not as tall and long as you'd prefer but the kid is a baller with a high football IQ. I only wish he would have been an early enrollee. I am not sure how much he will see the field but he is a very solid piece in the backfield. It wouldn't shock me to see him at safety, nickel, or either of the corner back spots.
• 4* DB Tre Donaldson - appears to be basketball only as a few projected. A shame considering his skills at safety were solid.
• 4* CB Keionte Scott - watching his film I think he is a little smaller than his listed 6'0" 185 but he was a highly recruited corner. He is likely going to push for a starting role.
• 4* RB Damari Alston - might be our most college ready player among the high school recruits. I honestly think people who are putting him lower than third on the depth chart are out of their minds. He'll get more touches than what some think.
• 4* WR Omari Kelly - another recruiting win over Alabama that isn't celebrated enough. Incredibly athletic and could actually play defensive back just as well. I don't think he sees the field much this year coming in at 6'0" instead of his listed 6'2" he isn't the big guy I had hoped he was.
• 3* WR Camden Brown - a nice pickup from Saint Thomas Aquinas with a big build (6'3" 202 lbs). Another player that I would say is a little raw and in need of more development. Excellent at fighting for jump balls.
• 3* DL Enyce Sledge - a late addition to the class with a solid build for a nose tackle. He will need some time in a college strength program before he sees the field. Luckily we have the depth to give him that time.
• 3* K Alex McPherson - it is a HUGE deal to get the nation's number 1 kicker and a legacy of a brother killing it in the NFL. Beating out the Gators for McPherson was a big win. Excited to see him continue our tradition of good kickers.
• WR Koy Moore - comes to us from LSU with a lot of great physical tools as a 4* coming out of high school. Listed as a sophomore on our roster. Had 27 catches for 248 yards. 
• DB Craig McDonald - transferred from Iowa State where he saw a lot of meaningful playing time and always seemed to be in the right spot. He has a legitimate chance of starting.
• WR Dazalin Worsham - battled an injury at Miami before transferring to Auburn. Has a lot of upside but no production yet.
• LB Eugene Asante - another linebacker under 6'1" but with playing time. I am not high on this addition but he provides depth if nothing else.
• DB DJ James - transferred from Oregon where he was a legitimate starter. Listed as a junior on Auburn's roster he will look to make an immediate impact. Another Alabama native.
• QB Zach Calzada - transferred from Texas A&M where he was admittedly mediocre; though the win over Alabama showed a flash of his ability. Should earn the starting quarterback job and has been putting an insane amount of work in during these player lead sessions. He is coming off an injury though.
• DL Jayson Jones - 6'6.5" 328 lbs is nothing to sneeze at and he earned legitimate playing time at Oregon. While he mostly fills up holes he is a ridiculous sized player that can play all across the line. Another Alabama native and this one is listed as only a sophomore.

Only taking 17 guys out of high school is not something I am a fan of especially with the new transfer rules. Just not a sustainable practice. The staff is stubborn with their board and passing on guys in favor of higher rated prospects; but when we don't land the preferred guys we don't seem to take a fallback plan. This group is obviously harder to evaluate because they haven't had a chance to do anything yet.

Calzada, Jones, James, McDonald, Moore, Alston, Scott, Wooden, M'ba, and Rhym are all dudes I expect to have an instant impact even if that is on Special Teams. I think we got a lot of quality in this class but taking only one offensive lineman was absolutely infuriating and inexcusable. That said, I do really like this class and think guys like Geriner and McPherson are also going to be key pieces to the future of this program.

We took 9 transfers in 2021, 7 in 2022, and I expect a number close to that in 2023. It is just a new wrinkle in the recruiting process. The guys transferring are truly capable of instant impact performance. They are also less likely to transfer again which can make things easier from a roster management standpoint.

2023 Class Analysis:

• Quarterback - recruiting here has not been great. We missed on our first 2-3 choices and then put all our eggs in the Brock Glenn basket. There is a distinct possibility we don't target a quarterback in this class if we can't land a guy of a certain caliber. There are a lot of dominoes to fall though. FSU could explode opening up the Brock Glenn recruitment, Miami is taking 2 QBs but maybe one doesn't want to stay (not Rashada), same for the other QB at FSU who would get pushed out by Glenn possibly, Bama is also taking two QBs which might not hold. We will just have to wait on this position to unfold.
• Running Back - we got our guy in 4* RB Jeremiah Cobb and he really might be RB1 after Tank leaves. He is good. Now the goal is finding RB2 in this class. We still keep working on UCLA commit Roderick Robinson II from California.
• Wide Receiver - I am thus far unimpressed with Ike Hilliard who is new to college recruiting. 4* Karmello English is a great pickup but likely an easy pull regardless of who is at Auburn. We don't seem to have any other names trending despite needing two more. My fear is we have a decent number of WR transfers after this year if guys like Capers continue to under-produce.
• Tight End - it all comes down to 4* Jelani Thurman which makes me anxious. I don't think he is a slam dunk for us by any means with so much family in Michigan. If he comes to Big Cat Weekend I'll start to feel confident. The good news? Luke Deal is allegedly planning on using his Super-Senior year.
• Offensive Line  - I just don't have a lot of nice things to say. We finally expanded our board a little bit and it might look we're settling a little but crap man we need bodies in the worst kinda way. Transfers are going to be vital to not having a steep drop off next season.
• Defensive Line & Edge - so much talent at this position. I believe we will finish with a number of 4* guys at these positions. Just not sure who that ends up being. Big Cat Weekend will tell us a lot about this position. I don't think there is any way we finish poorly here. Might not be our first choices but there is plenty of great talent here.
• Linebacker - 4* Ausberry wants to make sure our coaches will still be here. After that we're running second for a bunch of 4* guys. We are looking to get a little bit taller at the linebacker position. I trust C-Rob who has always recruited well to close out here successfully.
• Defensive Back - 4* Terrance Love is a monster but after that I'm not sure what the plan is. We are apparently not 100% sold on Hart and aren't pursuing heavily as of now which disappoints me a little bit. Jackson is trending towards Florida but if he makes it to Big Cat that would be huge. I have no idea who our second safety might be. Fans do have to remember at defensive back we have a lot of guys with a lot of eligibility left. So the urgency here isn't near as big as some other spots.

I would currently give this recruiting class a "C-" for how the staff is performing. The effort and approach are so much better than last year but the results have been knee-capped by the attempted coup. Faulk and one other McElderry both admitted to insiders that Auburn might have been the destination if their families felt more confident in our staff still being there at the end of the day.

The first five games of our season will heavily dictate our recruiting results by the end of December. We don't have to be perfect but we need to be competent and win enough games that it is clear Harsin will be here for 2023.

OL: "Settling and finding bodies" means AU is still struggling and falling behind! If this team doesn't win NOW to greatly help recruiting THIS year, AU will be coach hunting again in less than 6 months and the program will be set back another 2 years. I really want Harsin to succeed but we are clearly treading in the wrong direction, unimpressive coaching hires this past off season and booster undermining is all a recipe for disaster.

We are getting absolutely worked on the trail for instate kids.   2023 is going to be rough when we roll out these 3* kids and get crushed by Arkansas and Ole Miss.   

AU is absolutely getting killed on the recruiting trail. Again, their are 7 highly nationally ranked DL in the state of Alabama, Auburn may not sign ONE! If AU drops the PSU game (minor bowl at best in this scenario), I will be shocked if Harsin finishes the year coupled with the poor recruiting class. It's clear AU is now looking at plan "B" or "C" OT's. I really hoped Harsin was the disciplinarian and consistent coach AU needed but I don't think he has ever really gained traction from the booster undermining!
