Now that it's here, he & a few other programs just pile up 5*'s two months earlier. 😒 He's pretty vocal about what he doesn't like an how it isn't good, but when the rule changes he'll take advantage of it too the fullest. Another one is what he's done with the RPO offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had us around #36 I believe. He said that you need 3 out of 4 classes to be in top 10 to be in contention for a championship. Lots of work to do. Clay is a chode. There's a good chance we'll end up around 20 once we add Brooks and an RB or two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Fossum 158 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If what has been said is true then Gus's recruiting classes that were top 10 classes were quite deceiving. Not recruiting to the actual needs of the team. Would you rather have a class full of 3 stars that are at least going to fill needs where we would otherwise be screwed depth-wise OR have a class that "looks" really good ranking-wise that is full of exactly 0 offensive tackles and multiple "athletes" that go on to be criminally underutilized? I'd say the same people upset about our ranking for this class are the same people who stress over the team ranking in week 2...it doesn't matter. What matters is what all this looks like come November. I have no reason to believe that Harsin and Co. aren't about to take Auburn to new heights in the coming years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Lol How some of y’all gone be mad at Harsin and Co for this recruiting class? They only had a month to recruit and started with a class rank in the 40s. Stop being miserable about everything. This guy could field a playoff team with 3* atheletes. Y’all have no idea. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUB78 1,365 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I am pleased with this class , especially if we land Brooks and Hunter and then a few good transfers especially on the OL. I think this group will have a “chip on their shoulders “ and with some good coaching, they will overachieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,789 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hopefully just coaching up what we already have will make this a much better team and recruiting will pick up next year as the new coaches establish relationships. But even through my orange and blue glasses the results this year appear to be much less than what we expected. Maybe they can still make a move with some late additions and the transfer portal.

They have many personnel that eat, sleep & drink recruiting. The articles you are linking are from local writers who only cover recruiting 1 day a year & when there's a commit for the local school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
