autan 737 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I remember Gus and staff going hard for 5* Brockermeyer for months only to lose him to Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they’re butthurt from not making the playoffs? And/or are getting more money somewhere else…I’m sure Nicky promised them titles and rings to play for him, and so I’m sure some assumed they would automatically be a playoff shoe-in.

My guess is they're going to raid the portal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1992 999 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The portal is just a massive free agent pool every year now. It's going to completely eff up the game in my opinion. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's turning into a bidding war which is going to be detrimental to the game over the long term. Everybody would like some limits, but right now it's the wild west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,064 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised if a new rule is instituted next opportunity for changes stating that you can't return if you enter the portal. That would keep those out that are just looking for bigger paydays, knowing they can return if they don't get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I’m sure Brockermeyer got an offer from us within 2 minutes of putting his name in the portal! bama has 5 or 6 OL in the portal! A few really good ones!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I think a lot of this is a money grab. If you can go to another school and get more NIL then why not? Does Bama have that much more money than Auburn. All that money gets spread thin if you have a team full of 4 and 5*s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they thought they could continue to lean on Saban and his recruiting so they didn’t prioritize it like other schools. Have alumni friends and they didn’t even know Bama had a collective….they have received nothing about contributing, etc. These are Tide Pride seat holders since they graduated in the mid 90’s and they have had no one marketing any collectives to them….and their attitude is “why does Saban even need this”? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna take a lot more than some boogeymen behind the scenes in this new NIL world. Everyone has a REC now, and a lot of school’s RECs are bigger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,128 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Last year there were very few Quality O-Line in the Portal this year that seems to have changed big time. I am seeing more quality players then last year maybe it is the NIL money not sure why but this gives me more hope then I originally had. Now can we outbid some people and pul some top talent in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEAugirl 9,623 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I would imagine we probably have the upper hand with Banks since Crime Dog is coming back to Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
