All things can change this fall. I think it will still be top ten but QB recruiting as you know is totally different than the rest of the positions. Guys commit early and flip way less than other positions. So when you miss on your top guys you are SOL….. and no I don’t think we get juju. It will be stick with USC or go to them damn dirty dawgs… AU has shown we aren’t willing yet to pay top dollar for that caliber of QB recruit or QB transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t know he was in coaching let alone a oc already. Really young for a oc at major power 5 school. I can see him being a good recruiter just based on being a younger guy. But again harder to tell these days who’s actually a good recruiter and who just has more nil backing. Edited April 15 by GwillMac6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't compare it to last year as we have two additions to a new conference, and UGA hasn't even started yet. You got a couple of new coaches, and this is not an Auburn wildcard-coached team from Hugh Freeze. But some of you guys will learn the hard way.

Last years results are probably heavily being used in a negative way. Not sure what the sweet spot is for the recruits to say hey it looks like they are moving in the right direction. I also think it will be hard selling playing time to a QB if Walker White is truly the guy in waiting. I guess that’s why CHF gets bad the big bucks to figure it all out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will always be in that 8-15 range. I am ready to break the top 5, and the biggest selling point will be results on the field. We need a big jump in offense productivity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And until we become that way, we're going to be permanently middle of the pack to suck. This isn't a four year game. It's a one year game and QBs are where it starts and ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbo 7,898 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I find it hard to believe AU is not willing to pay for a QB, of all positions to try to save money. Whatever the reason, our top 3 QB targets and our top RB target have all committed elsewhere. Need to reset and pick up the momentum on the O side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,027 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 There have been some remarkably good QBs transfer out after Spring over the past few years. Question is, can CHF snag one this year -- or next. Because our coaches seem to think Thorne is going to be good and White is going to be good. These guys in the portal are looking for a team where they can start day one. And may accept less NIL to make sure that is a possibility. Nobody wants to come in as a designated backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken. But I’m also referencing the fact that he never had an elite QB at Ole Miss either. It’s a trend he needs to break. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are running it back with mediocre thorne should be more than enough proof… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, I'm on the same page as you with Thorne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,859 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Of all the positions to recruit in HS I am LEAST worried about recruiting QBs. That is THE transfer portal position now. Dart, Jayden Daniels, Rattler, Thorne, Milton, Leary, Mertz, Max Johnson, KJ Jefferson, Swann, Rogers. Those are 11/14 starting QBs in the SEC last year - every single one either transferred IN prior to or OUT after the 2023 season. That position can and will be filled by the portal for the foreseeable future. But it’d be awesome if we could have a guy like WW stick around and build us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There undoubtedly HAS to be a record improvement. 8 wins will most definitely be enough. 7 I think would, but with the amount of seniors this year I’m just not sure how capable we’d be of improving on that in ‘25 (again, heard JLee mention how ‘25 is the year).
