CameronCrazy 1,105 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Zalance Heard is visiting Oklahoma & Tennessee this weekend - still no mention of Auburn. I’m just not impressed with Thornton. OL is STILL the biggest need on this team (specifically OT). The Blindside Left Tackle is the most important position outside of the QB, and we haven’t had someone to fill that role since Greg Robinson in 2013. That should be our #1 priority. It doesn’t matter how many 5* WR’s we have and who the QB is if we can’t protect the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,778 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) YGTBKM, Salter withdrew from the TP. So with that in mind, who's left? Edited January 6 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenTiger 1,007 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Salter got to Auburn…. got his NIL offer. Learned he will have to compete for the job. Talked to his WR buddy visiting at the same time and they both packed it up and went home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) I hope I eat these words. But , currently, we absolutely SUCK at working the transfer portal. It's like Freeze is clueless. It's astounding. Edited January 6 by NWALA Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,447 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Even if Salter didnt come here, he was drawing interest from several big schools. Why go back to Liberty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is that now it’s become just as big as HS recruiting, if not more so. Perfect example of how one has to change with the times.

Maybe Falwell made an offer we couldn’t or wouldn’t match? Curious to see what the WR does. Were they hoping to be a package deal? Did we only want them as a pairing??? So much smoke!

GreenTiger 1,007 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 We will soon find out if portal or HS recruiting is more important. I’m leaning towards the art of portaling being the more important factor for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 943 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Rough day all the way around. OC and DC gone (could be good or bad, remains to be seen). Salter's exits the portal. Scott enters the portal. Beyond today, the portal season has been very weak. Only good things that have happened lately is Kelly being hired and a good HS recruiting class. The latter could dissolve with another subpar season. Still a long way to go and a lot could happen, but right now things are not looking good for the foreseeable future. I really hope I am wrong, and thing turn around soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
