SumterAubie 3,033 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm sure it is reassuring in small way for the parents to know there are adult eyes on their sons while away at school 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be what Cole feels like… /s but I like that you quoted my coldfree beer joke so I’ll give you a pass this time I'm sorry you feel this way and it hurt you, but it was a relatively big topic at the time and Hugh clearly has good relationship building.

cole256 17,084 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I saw this on Twitter and I thought to bring it up here but i didn't feel like arguing with people. BBut this was one of my main points as far as me personally to my experience on here. You say something that you see and the majority don't you spend a bunch of time arguing and people saying you think you know everything and at times it can get pretty toxic and people call you stupid and all of that. Then when time proves you right and you bring it up people get mad at you for doing that and tell you you think you know everything and depending on the person it can get toxic and they call you names 😂 Damned if you do and damned if you don't. I guess you just have to wait for people to notice you may know what you are talking about. And I wasn't just saying broad and general thoughts with regard to Harsin I was being very specific even to the point of telling people what was being said about Auburn amongst the recruiting circuit and it would just piss people off. Harsin did a bunch of damage to Auburn's reputation I'm hoping that freeze is doing a great job of fixing things. I think it will take at least 3 recruiting cycles to fix though. 2 if we have major success and can get some national exposure. This is also why I wanted Sanders but I don't feel like arguing that either. We just have to be patient and hope the ball bounce our way more times than not. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s take off the orange and blue glasses for a minute and identify that nothing has been proven on the field. The guy is coming out of coaching detention center and so far his quarterback whispers aren’t working with his handpicked transfer. If you equate player effort as some significant indicator that Freeze is doing a great job then I don’t know what to tell you other than that is why Gus is gone and we are where we are now. 100% agreed with everything you said, but Freeze is who the $$$ men wanted. Gotta give it (recruiting) time to cultivate…errrr…pay off and have a little… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman87 398 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The only reason Harsin never called the parents is because he was so covered up in recruiting. Oh, wait...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also why I wanted Sanders but I don't feel like arguing that either. I was high on Deion due to his recruiting, but so far I feel Hugh has been as good as promised recruiting wise. 15 days or so and flipped plenty of top kids/legacy kids after he was hired. We've flipped or beat Bama/UGA for at least 4 kids (4 more than the last 5 years combined) and should have more coming. I know it's hard to compare Auburn to Colorado, but their '24 class is pretty meh right now. Shedeur + Hunter would be the two clear differentiators between the coaches. At the same time, Wade/Britton are two additions solely from Hugh that were dire needs. I'll add I think we'd be undefeated right now if we had Shedeur and Hunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red flag when we were missing out on our first and second choices. This time around we need to do whatever it takes to have that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's elite Leary (lost out) hasn't looked great, but better than what we got Brennan Armstrong (Passed) sucks Tanner Mordecai (Lost out) no chance to do relationships, but has been meh DJ Uiagalelei - Didn't recruit? Grayson McCall - Writes in Crayon I'll be interested to see if we can successfully go back to the Portal in 24. If Thorne continues to throw for 65 ypg he can't be promised anything. Also how can we promise a player a successful offense after taking a guy who normally thorws for 3k yards and drops 900 over 12 games? Would be interesting to see if McCall is a grad transfer after a down year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
