It's heavily dependent on "who" vs any ability by this staff. I'm sure we'll have back channel rumors until 4/30 and names we can't say. Portal opens in 6 days. Hopefully an OSU kid is ready to leave. Not sure there is another back up transfer that is worth much. Can't get anyone from the SEC. I'd be shocked if an entrenched starter passed up transfer in the spring and leaves for us. That's just never happened before. Maybe we get lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back up from another team leaving, most likely. I'll be more than happy to see an entrenched starter leaving his school in the spring for the first time and coming to Auburn.

Our QB play is so bad a backup QB from a top school could come here and give us an upgrade. It may not be the quality that Freeze wants for the future but will be a bridge into 2024. I just dont see Freeze going into 2023 without a QB who can make accurate throws. Which IMO, none of the current QBs are consistently(or ever) capable of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which IMO, none of the current QBs are consistently(or ever) capable of. Right. Probably so. OSU QB competition has been the only one identified (publicly) of a potential legit talent that could transfer. UGA/SEC QBs would have to sit out a year. But would take on if one entered. I'm sure we'll tamper as much as possible and make contact with every decent P5 QB at a bad school and top G5 QB and try to convince them to come again. We already did that once in January...not sure why we'd expect ones that didn't accept our prior advances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I could be dead wrong, I just think Freeze will convince someone to take the plunge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting someone's back up. I know Hugh and Co can recruit and understand the need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 OSU's spring game is next week. Just read a few articles and it stated neither QB has pulled ahead. I'd imagine they aren't even going to name a start going into the summer. I guess our "hope" would be the RSFR wins the job so the Jr transfers.

I doubt he comes back, but I never say never to most everything in life I agree with the never say never thought. There's a chance bama fires Saban and re-hires Mike Dubose or Mike Shula. Not likely but a there is a chance.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect we'll continue to try and convince the Duke and Tulane QBs to leave for better schools. They said no in the winter. Pray hard for McCall. After that probably 2nd string guys that might be better than our starters. Hopefully they'll be heavy tampering and we'll get a commit shortly after someone enters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
