The implication was he befan his career at Bama (true). Not that he eas the starter (way I read it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris and lil TT are both guys who never entered in. We def talked to them and others through proper back channels. We probably did discuss money with them. I mean look at Thorne. He was in Auburn on the DL before his name was even public in the portal. Essentially committed then. Do we really think we didn't communicate with him before hand? Highly doubtful. Hugh knows the game and how it's played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,430 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So laughable. Our whole Football NIL budget for the year is 5-7M and we’re going to offer him 1.5M? If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge … 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,008 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Where does the article even imply that the SEC school was Auburn? Was there an invisible fotnote or something? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger1985 808 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Wouldn’t be surprised if the REC paid him to say this bs. I figured it was Bama wanting him back. They have questions at Quarterback just like us. Tex A&M wouldn’t surprise me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently some tweets guessing it was us from Radio media in AL and then the "AI reposter" sites like Fly War Eagle and SI.com quoted those tweets and relabled the article to auburn https://flywareagle.com/2023/07/29/auburn-football-taulia-tagovailoa/#:~:text=Auburn football was accused of,that made such an offer.

gr82be 14,433 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 By not naming the school it gives room for speculation. That allows Auburn to be thrown against the proverbial wall to see if it sticks. I remember seeing his name mentioned in at least one thread but 1.5 million is ridiculous money for a player who couldn't play at Bama. I always assumed he was part of a package to get Tua to Bama along with the parental relocation package. Now that Auburn is looking to be pushing for a seat at the winners table the wolves will be coming out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman1 487 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 On B'ham radio today Greg McElroy said offer was in the $300,000 range, nowhere near $1.5 million. And did not say who the offer was from. Finebaum even said there is no way a school would offer Tulia anywhere close to this amount. His brother Tua maybe. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Taulia thing was very close to happening until a teammate caught wind and was upset he wasn't going to be a part of the package. He then went and told Locksley and they secured him.

AuburnNTexas 7,151 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I could see us offering $300,000 for Taulia as he was solid at Maryland. Was much more accurate than Robby has shown so far and can run when needed. 1.5 Million is a different story. My question now is did somebody really offer him that much money or was he just blowing smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he said it wasn't a dime over 250,000 dollars and that there were teams, as in plural , involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
