But we been trying that. The teams that get those top 100 guys and 5* (especially on the lines of scrimmage) are the ones more likely to be in a relevant post season. I’m star chasing, baby!

Top.Five.Classes! @AuCivilEng1You're over analyzing my post. I didn't say nor imply anything about best fit. Staffs can have lower rated players higher on their boards based purely on what they see on the field from the player. Oh and FTR, Gus was a star chaser, and still is. So we've been trying star chasing in the past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we've been trying star chasing in the past. I know what you meant. My post was just more admitting I’ve become a star chaser and less of an argument on your post. Gus didn’t star chase on the lines of scrimmage though. That’s the difference. If he had landed some high quality offensive lineman, he’d probably still be at Auburn.

He would take a 4 star player even if we had more than enough at that position. He would pass over a 3 star player at a position of need. anything to get his average star rating up. we had some high ranked classes at the expense of a well managed roster. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went hard after most of the top guys. When he whiffed on most of them on the OL he wouldn't take plan Bs or Cs in most cases. That's why we were short on OL in many years. It's been thoroughly documented on here over the years countless times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...when can we start expecting these commits to roll in, Birdman? Bolden, TJ Lindsey, Perry, Riddick, and the Simmons brothers. Those are my expectations between now and the end of Big Cat. We better land every single one of them, or I will be immensely disappointed and my day will be ruined.

I will say by who is attending but it will be hard to beat Seastrunk, Lattimore, and Dyer. Seastrunk is the only one playing in the NFL which I find interesting. Dyer did not have the attitude and Latt was injured. Edited July 20, 2023 by Auburn93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This day and age stability needs to be a big selling point because of the portal. I know it is always an important issue but still!
