woodford 3,669 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Fellas it’s July 4th. Guys flip. He lives next door to Auburn it can change. I’m glad we have standards but come on, we were trash recruiters up until last December. The portal exists so recruiting is never truly over. TAMU’s future could look pretty bleak in a few months. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be asking why are THEY like this. Besides Markail Benton ( I think that’s his name) that 4 ⭐️ LB from several years ago I don’t think even bama has got any of their high profile recruits either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have all the NIL in the world but this shows I had reason to be skeptical of Marcus Davis and several other staff hires. I firmly believe that the buyouts were a bit part of why we went with the assistant hires we did, so hopefully after 2024 and Gus’s buyout period expires we can make a run at some real assistants. Oh please. This was all about NIL and that should have been obvious to you and everyone else the moment he chose his perceived fourth place school. You can’t really put this on Marcus Davis. Who btw absolutely cleaned up in the portal when we were in a tough spot. Josh Aldridge “only” a Liberty hire is kicking ass too. 8 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it does make me feel less confident in certain other high-profile recruits (Crawford, Perry, Riddick, Blocton). I think it would be reasonable to expect us to be able to get three of those. If we can't, would it be unreasonable to question if we are capable of being competitive in the current CFB landscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 7,949 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Personally, I'm having a very fun 4th on the beach with my wife, kids, and niece. The fireworks have started and we are watching from our balcony. ALSO, it's ok to admit that this is another big whiff. Recruiting is not currently going well. Maybe it will later.

Period. You have to pay them at the highest bid. Now hopefully the staff learns a hard lesson here and not waste time. Fill out the recruiting class and pay the best guys.

It has been uttered that Hugh is frustrated by the way Auburn has done things. I imagine if Hugh had it his way things will be going on in a different manner. But either way, these guys didn't just forget how to recruit in two months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
