Unless we’re committing to starting a LOT of underclassmen to set up a big jump in year 3. I agree. If we don't see improvement in the won/loss column we've probably hired the wrong coach.

aujohnson 299 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 My opinion….bama is going to be throwing the bank at making sure they get the same caliber of recruiting results that they have grown used to over the last several years. Lots of folks have said that they didn’t have to pay anymore because of on the field results, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t pay. I think they will try and buy their way beyond the saban years and they are hopeful that similar results will galvanize a belief that it’s just because they are alabama. Also my opinion, if they get the on the field results they won’t have to worry about who or when the next coach is because people will believe it’s just the awesomeness of alabama. If we wet the bed on this with the way college ball is trending we won’t be a consistent challenge for them going forward. I don’t have the answer but I hope someone does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,763 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I know losing him sucked but…we’re still in the top 10 on 247 and just outside it on On3, and in the top 10 in average ratings of both. I really don’t see the cause of panic here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just becoming a crap shoot with players committing, decommitting, playing money games, etc. The college game is ruined and I care very little about it anymore, which is sad, because I’ve been loving it for 45 years. It’s a shame. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,888 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 It’s way too early to be worried in this NIL universe. A kid can be committed for a year or more and then we can just swoop in and offer more. Someone can also swoop in at the last minute and steal a kid from us. This is what recruiting is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic_zx 1,047 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I want this Auburn staff to do well. That being said, I will not give them the benefit of the doubt until/unless the teams stop having games where they look unprepared/unmotivated. But back to recruiting. It concerns me that Auburn has lost two highly rated defensive linemen recruits since Jeremy Garrett went to the NFL. Those being 4* Antonio Coleman and 4* Kalen Edwards. I do believe that Vontrell King-Williams is too new to judge so far but it is not a good first step. I hope he can pull in some good talent to replace them.

You're right. Like it or not (and I don't), that's what recruiting is now everybody has to adjust including players, coaches & fans. A little bit of good news maybe; I want to remind everybody on this forum that we really didn't start cooking with our Top 10 Recruiting Class last year until around Big Cat Weekend. We still have the next Portal window coming up to get D-lineman, and then hopefully after Big Cat the 2025 commitments start pouring in like they did last year. Bottom line is we can't blow a gasket every time a player chooses someone else over us or decommits. Times have changed in recruiting. We will get our good share in the end. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see players commit; don't get me wrong. But the ones who commit before they are seniors don't get me excited like they used to before NIL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it looks like a lot of people share that same opinion before NIL took over a 4 star OT commit thread would be filled with posts. Dice’s commit thread barely has any posts in it at all smh Edited March 14 by Sizzle 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
