No AJ Dybantsa?

Looks like Scott got unprocessed! Here's hoping to improves and does some good things on the field this year because it seems like he has a lot of the tools we're looking for.

me too. I think we have a real chance for 8 wins.

Honest Answer: Likely Peyton Thorne. No for real, it seems like a lot. But it feels like a good problem given our history. And I'm sure that its common for the "WR U's" to be stacked like this and have high level talent that doesn't see a lot of time as a freshmen. On that note, who knows how often Cain and Simmons will see the field this year and there was a suggestion earlier in this thread that there could be 1-2 more transfers out. Not sure if that's still likely though or not.

Any updates on Keyron Crawford or Nyjalik Kelly? 247 seems to think those are two Edge targets that we're high on.

Well, I guess CBP was thinking the same thing.

Agreed, but it seems like there is no date in mind and that CBP doesn't want to push it too much publicly. Although I'm sure he feels the clock a ticking. ⏰ https://247sports.com/college/florida-atlantic/article/johni-broome-auburn-nba-draft-2024--229487499/

The chatter all seems to be in this thread started today.

Moore or Fair?

Agreed. But that seems to be the spot that we recruit best. Way less certain about the Offense. Think we'll lose anymore WRs, OL or QBs?

Agreed. He seems to potentially have the highest ceiling of the group and is good as a check down option as well.

The plan appears to be fake it till you make it. Maybe Salter will reenter the portal because as much as I like Hank and White, they don't seem far enough along on the RPO game to run the offense like it needs to be run if Thorne is injured. And not sure that Salter isn't better than Thorne anyway.

Not that bummed about Henderson and we'll see if that one sticks. But would definitely be bummed about losing out on Longstreet. Getting a top QB in this class in the near term seems like it would help the coaches with building out the rest of the class. Sure, White Walker looks the part, but it seems imperative these days to get a decent QB in every class. And it appears that we've put most of our eggs in Longstreet and others committed elsewhere.

Just this

The swoosh makes me think differently. Sure UK's donors will always prioritize bball over football while ours are likely vice versa, but I think Bruce lands at least one of the following over the likes of UK.

I think any of them as long as they fit the culture. Cal always brought in the talent and I'd like to see some of it thrive in Pearl's system.

Just based off the commits and leans, it appears that our NIL $$$ is going towards the O & D lines. Which I am happy about. But I'm curious if our strategy is to go after multiple high 4* instead of putting all our eggs in a 5*, which I wonder if this is the best approach given how much our roster has improved. Also, it sure feels like we are swinging and missing on our top QB, WR & RB targets, which of course will happen more frequently when you prioritize the top at each position, but here's hoping Longstreet proves me wrong. I still think Hugh has a chance even though all the predictions are pointing towards A&M.

We got a top OT target to commit and it's crickets!? 🦗🦗🦗 Dice, Carde, and Dowland already in the boat, plus at least one more OT (and likely 5*) projected and a puncher's chance on at least 2 other 5*'s. This is what we've been wanting for years. But I get it. It just feels different now. Just saw this Duke's Scoop interview and when asked if he'd still take his official visits, I expected a yes for sure. But his answer was that his recruitment is "still 100% open." I think he ends up in Auburn and that's exactly what I'd say if I were him and wanted to maximize my NIL options. But 100% open? It's a different era these days.

He basically describes Penn St's backfield and current recruiting class when asked why he's committing to a school in this Duke Scoops interview on ON3. He added that AU wants the last official but he wants to see progress on the field. visit. https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/20kuu2HK

What kind of odds would you all put on us landing either J Lewis vs. H. Longstreet?

Hoping for some good news in this thread soon, riding a Nike Air commitment wave FTW.
