aubiefifty 16,791 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 i am one of the dummies that was not big on him until i realized he cannot catch the ball for his players......live and learn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e808 3,027 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Yep most definitely give that man his flowers. Job well done and I have a feeling he is just getting started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Him, Etheridge and Caddie are all AU men and the best recruiting coaches on the staff, other than CHF maybe. It’s easy to sell recruits on Auburn when you love Auburn, and have a coach who loves recruiting high school football players.

KillenTime 127 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Freeze's history putting WRs in the NFL recruited this class. And oh yeah NIL. Amazing what having a NIL plan can do for recruiting. Davis' crew needs to run tighter routes, block better and catch the ball this season. Freeze handed him the dudes - let's see what he does with em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze handed him the dudes - let's see what he does with em. A lot of that stuff mentioned above is based on individual effort . U can teach all u want but players have to execute. Also receivers can’t throw the ball to themselves. There are other things that need to happen before u even get to that point. Sounds like u don’t want to give Davis credit. U think those guys are coming to Auburn if he can’t relate to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank2020 3,199 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The thing that stands out to me is 1. You have to get them there. That requires great recruiting and NIL. 2. Once 1 is done, good offensive system ( includes all the dudes needed in all the offensive rooms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about money and nothing else. So how do we define a ‘good recruiter?’ A coach who’s lucky enough to have someone fork out cash to a player he’s assigned to? NIL has basically neutralized good recruiting chops, IMO. Let’s just call it what it is…free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just call it what it is…free agency. I don’t think that’s true at all. Every school we’re going against for top recruits has as much nil as we do. Then the extenuating factor is the recruiter and the relationship they have built with the recruit, and the parents, along with coaching staff staying around etc… NIL, if anything, evened out the field for great recruiters to shine their prowess in that area. Does money play a role, of course. Edited December 21, 2023 by toddc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were really lacking in talent at WR last year, but no excuses after this class. I believe PT is more than capable with a decent OL, to throw for plenty of yards and decent play calling.

Does money play a role, of course. We both are probably overextending our positions on this one. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. But, love of Auburn and personal relationships is not the clincher for the great majority of prospects out there. It's who's holding the biggest McDonald's bag in front of them.

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It's stunning how national AND regional media are virtually not mentioning Davis in any storylines. At all. It's just hard to find a sports "journalist" anymore. Awesome job, coach Davis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
