You alluded to some decommits coming yet still expected 8-13 finish, are you still feeling that? We can't start sinking in recruiting when we have a rough game that was inevitable given our rebuilding state.

Good to hear. What happened sucked bad, but no team would ever get better if a rough first year were enough to torpedo recruiting, which is why JHead's sentiments got under my skin so badly.

Proof of concept is good, it really helps when selling recruits. That said, not being able to show "proof of concept" lends itself to the narrative of, "see, this is exactly why we need you and why you'll be a day 1 starter". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I concur, it's just that the latter is going to be the case 80% (and that's lowballing it!) of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thing Freeze or any position coach would tell a high school recruit that they would be a day 1 starter? Not sure that would be real smart.

Not sure that would be real smart. Dye didn't even tell Bo that 100% they would. We have a wonderful opportunity for you here at Auburn. We don't have anyone on our roster that is comparable to you or your incredible skill set. If you come to Auburn I guarantee, with hard work and the right preparation, you will easily be a day 1 starter. The only one that could hold you back from greatness is yourself. Let us clear the way for you to reach your potential. Let us begin the Auburn comeback together! Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Lewis has for the staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
