It had been assumed there would be an additional RB one way or another. He’s talking about Hunter since he doesn’t decide until Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be, but who knows at this point. Top 10? Nah. Top 10 classes at AU mean 4th or 5th in the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just a thought.... In an effort to encourage more parity in the sport, what are your thoughts on the NCAA limiting the number of ESD signees? If ESD was limited to 15 signees, would that encourage more highly rated players to go ahead and secure a spot with a mid-tier school if the upper-tier school who was their first choice runs out of spots. They certainly have the option to wait until Feb NSD, when the schools can fill their remaining 10 spots. A rule like this would have been highly advantageous to Auburn this year as it would have given us a larger pool to recruit from after ESD. It also may help keep those same 3 or 4 schools from dominating the rankings quite as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I have to give Harsin and staff a high five for finishing as good as we seem to be finishing. He has only been around a couple of weeks and has added very good talent considering most kids were already spoken for. I expect big things in recruiting next year. I am impressed with our staff being aggressive out on the trail and promising to stretch our recruiting base to areas we have not put much focus before now. I am all in on Harsin w/o him coaching game 1 yet. I think/hope we are in for a fun ride! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like Auburn not having to play the hardest sched in the SEC, every fricken year. Thus, if it benefits the most successful non-flagship school in the SEC(Auburn), then it will never happen. The REC and dark backrooms where Auburn is talked about, will always work to prevent us from having a level playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coaching changes have shown us anything it's that the Early National Signing Day might be more harmful than beneficial. Honestly, it should only really be for Early Enrollees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Good gosh.....Just heard the presser by Harsin. You listen to those first 2 minutes - wow. He represents professionalism and class. His perspective is grounded. Now, as for what a 'flip' is...yeah those Boise staffers need to learn we beat a lesser school when a kid signs with Auburn. We flip a kid when they come from a rival. Flipping a kid in the SEC means something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
