  8. si.com Auburn's Ben Aigamaua named top-50 TE coach in college football Lance Dawe 3–4 minutes The Tigers should have one of the better tight end rooms in the SEC underneath the new coaching staff's guidance. Ben Aigamaua, Auburn's new tight ends coach that was hired by Hugh Freeze this offseason, has been putting in the work on the recruiting trail, having already landed Martavious Collins for the Tigers' 2024 class. He's got a proven track record and has had a handful of very solid pass-catchers play underneath his tutelage. Big Game Boomer, a college football social media influencer, has released a graphic including his top 50 tight ends coaches in college football. Auburn's Aigamaua is ranked No. 35 nationally. That puts him at No. 8 in the SEC. READ: Why Auburn tight end Rivaldo Fairweather could break out in 2023 Aigamaua comes to Auburn with 13 years of experience at the collegiate level, including seven years at Ole Miss, and spent the last four seasons as tight ends coach at Liberty. Under Aigamaua’s leadership in 2022, Liberty saw three different tight ends haul in a touchdown pass and the group accounted for 236 yards on 27 receptions. In four seasons, Aigamaua’s tight end group hauled in a collective 109 receptions for 1,267 yards and 20 touchdowns while Liberty finished top 25 in the country in total offense on a pair of occasions. The Flames finished the 2020 season with a 10-1 record and ranked No. 17 in the final Associated Press poll, its highest end-of-year ranking in program history. Individually, a pair of Aigamaua’s tight ends earned accolades as Johnny Huntley was named to the Phil Steele FBS Independent All-Conference Team in 2020 and 2021, and Michael Bollinger was named to the 2022 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. Prior to his time at Liberty, Aigamaua served as a graduate assistant, offensive analyst and assistant athletic director of community relations at Ole Miss from 2012-18, the first five seasons with Freeze as the head coach. The Rebels were ranked as high as No. 3 in the country on a pair of occasions and finished top 10 in the final polls for the first time in nearly 50 years. The team finished top 25 in the country in total offense five times during the seven-year span.
  9. yahoo.com Hugh Freeze among SEC coaches with least amount of pressure heading into 2023 season Taylor Jones ~3 minutes The head coach of Auburn’s football program IS NOT under immense pressure heading into a season? That is a change of pace from years past. On3’s Jesse Simonton broke down each SEC head coach’s situation heading into the 2023 season and ranked each coach based on their pressure to perform at a successful rate. Simonton says that Hugh Freeze has nothing to worry about running into the season, as he is ranked No. 13 in Simonton’s 2023 Pressure Cooker rankings. Simonton says that his rankings should not be considered a “hot seat” list, but rather a “pressure gauge” based on which coaches need to win plenty of games in order to meet expectations and avoid the dreaded “coaching carousel” in November. Freeze may be under a small amount of pressure now, but do not expect that level to remain steady says Simonton. After the disastrous Brian Harsin tenure, Hugh Freeze arrived on the Plains and quickly established some goodwill within the program. He retained key assistants like Cadillac Williams, signed a bunch of plug-and-play starters from the transfer portal and has Auburn in the mix to sign a Top 10 class in 2024. This is the least amount of pressure Freeze will face his entire Tigers’ tenure, but at least he’s capitalizing on the long leash to start. Auburn has a cakewalk non-conference schedule in 2023, so if Freeze can bank an upset or two in the SEC, he’ll have Auburn positioned for a potential takeoff season next fall. The only coach under less pressure than Freeze is Vanderbilt’s Clark Lea, who is entering his third season at his alma mater. The top five coaches under the most amount of pressure this season according to Simonton’s list are Jimbo Fisher (Texas A&M), Eli Drinkwitz (Missouri), Zach Arnett (Mississippi State), Billy Napier (Florida), and Nick Saban (Alabama).

  12. yahoo.com Disciplinary hearing against Trump attorney John Eastman begins in California STEFANIE DAZIO AND MICHAEL R. BLOOD 5–6 minutes LOS ANGELES (AP) — An effort to disbar conservative attorney John Eastman, who devised ways to keep President Donald Trump in the White House after his defeat in the 2020 election, will begin Tuesday in Los Angeles. Eastman is expected to spend the day testifying before the State Bar of California in a proceeding that could result in him losing his license to practice law in the state. He faces 11 disciplinary charges stemming from his development of a dubious legal strategy that was aimed at helping Trump remain in power by disrupting the counting of state electoral votes. The State Bar's counsel will seek Eastman's disbarment during a hearing before the State Bar Court that's expected to last at least eight days. If the court finds Eastman culpable of the alleged violations it can recommend a punishment such as suspending or revoking his law license. The California Supreme Court makes the final decision. Eastman is scheduled to testify in his own defense Tuesday. The proceedings will feature witnesses such as Greg Jacob, a former attorney for then-Vice President Mike Pence who pushed back against Eastman’s plan to have Pence stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Eastman was one of Trump’s lawyers during the election. He argued, in a memo, that Pence could keep Trump in power by overturning the results of the election during a joint session of Congress convened to count electoral votes. Critics have likened that to instructions for staging a coup. Eastman violated California's business and professions code by making false and misleading statements that constitute acts of “moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption,” the State Bar alleges, and in doing so he “violated this duty in furtherance of an attempt to usurp the will of the American people and overturn election results for the highest office in the land — an egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy.” Eastman's attorney previously said his client disputes “every aspect” of the allegations. The State Bar’s action “is part of a nationwide effort to use the bar discipline process to penalize attorneys who opposed the current administration in the last presidential election. Americans of both political parties should be troubled by this politicization of our nation’s state bars,” Eastman's attorney, Randall A. Miller, said in a statement when the charges were announced in January. Eastman has been a member of the California Bar since 1997, according to its website. He was a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a law firm affiliated with the Claremont Institute. He ran for California attorney general in 2010, finishing second in the Republican primary. Eastman retired as dean of the Chapman University law school in Southern California last year after more than 160 faculty members signed a letter calling for the university to take action against him. The California State Bar is a regulatory agency and the only court system in the U.S. that is dedicated to attorney discipline. Eastman’s disciplinary hearing comes as special counsel Jack Smith continues his investigation into efforts by Trump and his Republican allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A federal grand jury in Washington has been meeting behind closed doors for months to hear testimony from witnesses, including Pence, who has publicly described a pressure campaign by Trump aimed at getting him to halt Congress’ certification of the election results and the win by Biden, a Democrat. Federal agents seized Eastman’s cellphone last summer as he was leaving a restaurant, he said in a court filing. That day, law enforcement officials conducted similar activity around the country as part of their probe. Since Smith's appointment in November, he has cast a broad net in demanding interviews and testimony related to fundraising, Trump’s rally that preceded the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, and communications between Trump associates and election officials in battleground states. Eastman spoke at the rally. In December, Smith subpoenaed local election officials in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania, asking for communications with or involving Trump, his 2020 campaign aides and a list of allies — including Eastman — who were involved in his efforts to try to overturn the results of the election. The investigation is separate from another probe by Smith into classified documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, that led this month to felony charges against Trump. Trump pleaded not guilty last week to 37 felony counts, including conspiracy to obstruct justice. ___ Associated Press writer Alanna Durkin Richer contributed from Boston.
  13. Josh Hawley Gets Holy Hell After Juneteenth Claim About Christianity And Slavery Ed Mazza 6–7 minutes Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) attempted a little revisionist history on social media on Monday. It didn’t go well. As Americans marked Juneteenth, a federal holiday, in a variety of ways ranging from solemn reflection to pre-summer cookouts, Hawley paused his awkward campaign for manliness to tweet about slavery: Today is a good day to remember: Christianity is the faith and America is the place slavery came to die — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) June 19, 2023 Critics pointed out that Hawley ― perhaps best known for saluting Jan. 6 protesters with a raised fist before running away from them ― missed the mark in several ways. Christianity is not the religion of the United States, which guarantees the separation of church and state. The Christian faith was used repeatedly to justify slavery, especially within the United States. And the practice of slavery thrived in America long after it was outlawed by many other Western nations. Twitter users took the senator to school: 1. Today is a good day to remember: America was built on the enslavement of Black people. 2. Our government has never even formally apologized, let alone sought to repair the harms slavery inflicted and perpetuated. 3. So this ⬇️ is a lie. https://t.co/YPvl7Hj12q — Cori Bush (@CoriBush) June 20, 2023 There was no race-based chattel slavery here before Christians came England, Russia, Spain, France, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, South Africa, India, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico & Peru abolished it b4 US America is literally where slavery came to live https://t.co/wZb36uvXCO — Michael Harriot (@michaelharriot) June 19, 2023 I can't tell if this is among the most offensive things I've ever heard, or *the* most offensive (and desperate, and pathetic) thing I've ever heard. America has *many* faiths. And if slavery came here to die, it took about 250 years (& 10's of millions of people) to do it. https://t.co/A3KBsOFsFl — Ed Solomon (@ed_solomon) June 19, 2023 Fact check: the United States lagged decades behind in abolition of slavery compared to almost all other countries in the Western hemisphere. https://t.co/zHanYKZmeQ — Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) June 19, 2023 Today is a good day to remember: Christians used the Bible as divine justification for slavery for centuries. Particularly in America. https://t.co/sdLf1sMXhP — Zack Hunt (@ZaackHunt) June 19, 2023 Slavery thrived so much under Christianity in America that it was enshrined in the Constitution. Slave owners regularly invoked the Bible to justify slavery. Only a Christian Nazi talks this way. https://t.co/ZbIU7sOhI5https://t.co/sbgUSym19t — Randy Alberhasky 🟧 (@RandyAlberhasky) June 19, 2023 Josh Hawley is a great example of affirmative action for conservatives. History degree from Stanford and a Yale JD but either doesn’t know history or pretends not to know it because he knows it will help him advance through conservative political circles. https://t.co/sfHsxzqUKc — Andrew Visnovsky (@AndrewVisnovsky) June 19, 2023 The same charlatans pretending Christianity ended slavery are using their positions of power to silence Black voices as they disenfranchise minority communities through gerrymandering and voter suppression. Don't let them gaslight you. They are the problem. https://t.co/nX59bQ8KZK — Spencer Toder (now featuring invisible blue check) (@SpencerToder) June 19, 2023 America is the place slavery thrived, long after England had banned the practice, with the blessings of “Christians” and its justifications in the Bible (Curse of Ham, Paul “Servants obey your masters etc.) Slavery had to be purged with the blood of Americans you absolute idiot. https://t.co/E0PiWR0VuE — mass ave curmudgeon 🏳️🌈 (@mass_ave) June 19, 2023 Actually, Christianity was misused and abused for power by the pro-slavery crowd at the time to advocate FOR slavery. Much like today, where you and other extremists are abusing the Bible to advocate against equality, peace and social justice. #Juneteenth2023https://t.co/pVxQB4hKG7 — Christian Democrats (@ChristianDems) June 19, 2023 1. Confederates repeatedly cited Christianity to justify slavery 2. They also cited "God given" Manifest Destiny to justify Native genocide 3. Moreover, slavery is still legal in the U.S. prison system You're literally wrong about everything. But you knew that.#Juneteenthhttps://t.co/keOGGrCILP — Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@QasimRashid) June 20, 2023 Today is a good day to remember you saluted the Proud Boys and other assorted white nationalists who tried to overturn our democracy and that you're the place logic and empathy go to die. https://t.co/UhjJ2THvBn — Randi Mayem Singer (@rmayemsinger) June 20, 2023 White Christians created chattel slavery as we know it, used their god to justify it, and America had the most sophisticated enslavement in human history.

(@MelechThomas) June 19, 2023 White-washing the history of Christianity and its relationship with chattel slavery in the Americas, and I mean white-washing quite literally, does no one any favors.

  14. it is better than supporting that idiot you guys have supported for about six years now is it? it is literally the difference between light and dark. lock him up. they need to lock your butt up to. see what i did? that would have been trumps answer to you or worse..................
  15. trump is a crook and an idiot and so are his followers. you people can like he is mistreated but the facts do not lie..........like so very many of you.
  16. it's Juneteenth and neo-Nazis are completely losing their s*** Jeff Tiedrich ~3 minutes today is Juneteenth, the annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. we can all agree that’s a pretty damned good reason for a holiday, right? well, actually, since we live in the dumbest ******* country in the universe, we can’t all agree that the end of slavery is a good reason for a holiday. if you’re dim enough to have ever asked “when do white people get a holiday,” oh boy, today’s your lucky day, because a bunch of neo-Nazi dipshits in South Florida would really love to have a chat. meet the Goyim Defense League (get it? get it???? goyim! what a ******* knee-slapper). the GDL has produced a 30-minute film warning of the dangers of “white genocide” (which, by the way, is definitely, absolutely, 100% not a real thing), and they really want you to see it. and so, on this Juneteenth, the Goyim Defense League will be driving around, calling attention to their film and striking fear in the hearts of non-Aryans everywhere by … stuffing mailboxes with stupid-ass leaflets. now wait a minute, I hear you asking, how does a leaflet in a mailbox strike fear in the heart of anyone? won’t people just crumple them up and throw them the **** away? and here’s where the Nazis have a cunning plan. and by “cunning plan,” I mean sit down, because this is going to be the stupidest ******* thing you’ve ever heard of. the Nazis are going to rat themselves out. It imagines participants posing as normie citizens to sound their alarm about the leaflets to local politicians, news outlets, churches, and affected local businesses. “Call as if concerned,” it directs, even offering some prompts like, “Omg I found this as a tourist,” and “I just want everyone to be safe at the end of their shifts.” The post concludes with a note that callers should “expect to be recorded” and that “soundbites are important.” These supposed members of a master race misspell their native language, urging caution and discipline “in EVERY SENTANCE YOU SPEAK.” got that? they’re going to call attention to themselves by complaining about themselves to the media. if that sounds like it makes no ******* sense, that’s because it really does make no ******* sense. I did warn you that it was going to be the stupidest ******* thing you ever heard of. Mike Chitwood, the sheriff of Volusia County, Florida, who has dealt with the Goyim Defense League before, has had just about enough of their Nazi bull****. can we all agree that Mike Chitwood is the coolest sheriff in America? so there you have it, folks — a whole month’s worth of pure, unadulterated stupid, compressed into one day. happy Juneteenth, everyone.
  17. it is early this morning so i will check back later to see if they throw more articles and pods out there today. thanks for stopping by..................
  18. on3.com Athlon, Lindy's differ slightly on Auburn football predictions, see tough rebuild ahead Justin Hokanson 6–7 minutes AUBURN — Auburn football isn’t close to where Hugh Freeze wants it to be, but you have to start somewhere. “I want our fans to be excited about the momentum we’ve created here. Do we have a ways to go? Yes. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be excited about where we are currently,” Freeze said in April. The Tigers have landed eight commitments for the 2024 class so far, with six of them being four-star prospects according to the On3 Consensus Rankings. That’s a good start, but still only ranks them 15th nationally and 7th among SEC teams. Rank by average rating per commitment and the Tigers sit 11th nationally. Freeze and staff secured the nation’s 17th-ranked recruiting class, 8th in the SEC, after their arrival in late November. Most of that class is on campus as summer workouts have begun. Auburn made up ground in the transfer portal finishing with the 5th-ranked portal class , tops among SEC teams. That group is made up of expected impact players like Payton Thorne, Justin Rogers, Rivaldo Fairweather, Shane Hooks, Jyaire Shorter, Brian Battie, Gunner Britton, Avery Jones, Dillon Wade and others. While we await SEC media days and preseason media predictions in July, that’ll be held in Nashville and not Birmingham or Atlanta by the way, we do have some other popular preseason fodder to react to. Lindy’s Sports and Athlon Sports (click links to purchase the magazines, or grab one wherever magazines are sold) preseason college football magazines hit the newsstands recently, both having some interesting things to say about the Tigers. Athlon’s opinions and predictions An anonymous SEC assistant coach says the gap between Auburn and foes Alabama and Georgia is the biggest gap its faced in “decades.” Here’s the entire quote from an anonymous SEC assistant coach: “It’s gonna be another weird year. They’re getting a boost from Freeze coming back in the league and just not being Bryan Harsin. For all of Freeze’s problems, he can manage an SEC culture a thousand times better than Hars…They’re starting over, but its Auburn, so they have good running backs. After that, they’re pretty mediocre. This is a messy-looking roster compared to the top half of the league… Freeze didn’t really bring in the all-star staff he promised. It’s weird, there’s a lot of his Liberty dudes, and then you have Ron Roberts and the old Tulsa head coach (Philip Montgomery)… He’s going to use the entire season as a recruiting platform like he did those first two years at Ole Miss because the offensive line and the receivers are bad and don’t know the system, but Auburn is going to expect him to operate on a faster timeline. They’r so far behind ‘Bama and Georgia; it’s maybe the biggest gap in decades.” Athlon’s final analysis says, “Freeze has his work cut out for him trying to revive the program that bottomed out under Bryan Harsin, finishing 5-7 and missing a bowl game for the first time since 2012. Freeze has tried to temper expectations while still maintaining a belief that he can turn things around in quick order. Whether he’ll be able to do that will hinge on finding the right quarterback to helm his system, but just making a bowl game in Year 1 should be considered progress.” ATHLON PREDICTIONS: Athlon predicts Auburn to finish dead last in the Western Division with a 6-6 overall record, 2-6 record in SEC play, and ranks the Tigers the 39th best team in college football. The magazine says Auburn will face N.C. State in the Gasparilla Bowl at season’s end. The magazine says Auburn’s position group rankings among SEC teams are as follows: QB 14th, RB 5th, WR 14th, OL 11th, DL 10th, LB 11th, DB 5th. Lastly, the magazine predicts Jarquez Hunter as All-SEC second-team selection at RB, with Justin Rogers a third-team selection at DL, DJ James a third-team selection at CB, and Brian Battie a third-team selection as kick returner. Lindy’s opinions and predictions Lindy’s doesn’t quote anonymous coaches, but does offer analysis. Here’s what Lindy’s says about Auburn’s strengths…: “Deep, talented running back room. Tight end position loaded with size and experience. Veteran offensive line. Helped offensively and defensively through transfer portal additions. One of the best defensive backfields in the SEC, if not the country. Reliable kicking game.” …and weaknesses: “Few returning starters on offense. Need to determine starting quarterback sooner rather than later. Wide receiver group needs more depth, deep threats. Defensive front seven needs more depth, too. Will this many incoming transfers mesh well with returners?” Lindy’s final overview says, “Auburn hadn’t had back-to-back losing records since 1998-99 — until 2021-22. Still, enthusiasm generated by interim head coach ‘Cadillac’ Williams caught the nation’s attention and is still there. Since then: new head coach, significant transfer portal additions, and an impressive signing class. As usual, the schedule is tough. If the Tigers settle on an effective quarterback and develop a deeper receiving corps, have a big-play defensive front seven and flip the negative turnover ratio, Auburn might surprise some folks. But that’s a lot of big ‘ifs.'” LINDY’S PREDICTIONS: Lindy’s predicts Auburn to finish sixth in the Western Division ahead of only Mississippi State, and ranks the Tigers the 42nd best team in college football. The magazine predicts Hunter as All-SEC second-team selection at RB, and James a third-team All-SEC selection at CB. The magazine doesn’t list any player from Auburn among the league’s Top-10 NFL talent, or any incoming freshman among the league’s Top-20 incoming recruits. The magazine selects incoming freshman Keldric Faulk as its “top newcomer,” saying of Faulk, “Auburn wasn’t always on the top of Faulk’s list. The 6-5, 270-pound defensive lineman originally committed to Florida State…he was a prized Seminole catch… until he flipped to Auburn.”
  19. on3.com 'It's just a matter of time': Former Hugh Freeze receiver sees Auburn as a future championship contender Cole Pinkston 6–8 minutes The Hugh Freeze era is on its way for Auburn football. Auburn fans have already gotten an idea of what to expect in recruiting with some late flips in the 2023 class, a top 5 transfer portal class, and a some big wins so far in the 2024 class. There is plenty of evidence of Freeze turning programs around. He brought both Ole Miss and Liberty up during his time at those schools. What about when Freeze took over at Arkansas State in 2011? He took the Red Wolves from a 4-8 record as offensive coordinator to 10-3 as head coach the very next year. One of his top players on that team, wide receiver Dwayne Frampton, still covets his time under Freeze. His son, class of 2027 athlete Hakim Frampton, has already received an offer from Auburn and Freeze. The bond between Frampton and Freeze is still going strong today. [ California ATH Hakim Frampton has deep ties with Hugh Freeze, Auburn ] Frampton spoke in-depth with Auburn Live about what Auburn fans can expect with Freeze in charge. Dwayne Frampton at Arkansas State Frampton was a play maker for Freeze’s offense at Arkansas State. In 2010, when Freeze was the offensive coordinator for the Red Wolves, Frampton had 69 catches, 738 yards, and 6 touchdowns. In 2011, when Freeze went from offensive coordinator to head coach, Frampton had a huge uptick in stats. He recorded 94 catches, 1,156 yards, and 6 touchdowns. One of those touchdown catches came in the 2010 season opener against Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium, a place that Frampton remembers fondly. via GIPHY “My first collegiate football game at the division one level was against Auburn,” Frampton said. “I scored on them first. When Cam was there, I scored on them first. That’s when Steve Roberts was our head coach, still. When I came into that stadium, I was like wow, what it would feel like to play here. Wish I could have had the opportunity to play here. I was playing against Trovon Reed, Zac Etheridge, Neiko Thorpe, Josh Bynes, I was playing against some serious talent. I had their respect because I had about 8 catches for 74 yards, and a touchdown.” “For them (Auburn) to be my son’s first scholarship, from the man that coached me in that same stadium–for me, it’s just nothing short of God’s work,” Frampton said. “That’s so ironic for my son to get a scholarship offer from the man who is now the head coach in that same stadium in which I played in.” Frampton knew Freeze would be a head coach while he was an offensive coordinator Frampton learned how to appreciate the game of football from Freeze. “Man, my time with Pop (Freeze) was beautiful, I was blessed,” Frampton said. “He was the first coach I ever had change my mindset on the game of football and my approach. I learned how to be more appreciative. God says when you’re grateful, he gives you more, and that is what Freeze taught me. He has been my father-like figure ever since.” Frampton knew when he met Freeze that he would be a head coach. “Freeze got there 2010 when I got there. Clay Helton was my original offensive coordinator, he got the USC job. Then they brought Freeze in, I believe from Lambuth,” Frampton said. “He was the OC, but I knew he was going to be our head coach. Just the way Coach Steve Roberts allowed him to take the floor, how we just all bought into his system, bought into his beliefs, and bought into what it was that he was selling. We turned the tide from 4-8 to 10-3.” Frampton still uses Freeze’s offensive philosophy to this day. In his opinion, there was no better offensive mind that he came across during his football career. “I played slot receiver and on the outside,” Frampton said. “Freeze, the way he dissects, man he is a chemist when you sit on the board with him. His football knowledge is, in my opinion, second-to-none, especially offensively. He has this thing called the Talladega system where it’s just go, go, go. We bought into it so much to where we didn’t know anything else but to hurry up. He would either say Talladega or he would say Nascar. It’s just the system that I learned and now it is helping me bring that back to these kids that I’m coaching out here in Cali.” He knows how to connect with people, first and foremost Former Arkansas State receiver Dwayne Frampton and his son, 2027 Athlete Hakim Frampton, after a game Aside from football, Freeze had a unique approach with his football team. When it came to appreciating football, he first wanted his team to appreciate life. Frampton says he broke everything down to a specific science. “Obviously, man, I don’t know how much people believe in God, but I do and he does,” Frampton said. “I promise you man, if I could write a book about it we should. The way he told us to be more appreciative for our opportunities. 95 percent of the team bought in to that saying: ‘Be grateful.’ When you were grateful you received more. We all just started to appreciate being able to have the legs to run around, the hands to catch the ball, the sight to see. Coach just broke it down to a science. Man, these things are a privilege that we are allowed to use. We all bought in man. I’m sure he did that at Liberty just as he did at Ole Miss. And, I’m sure he’s going to do that at Jordan-Hare Stadium.” What, in Frampton’s opinion, made Freeze so great? Why does the relationship between the two mean so much to him years later? “He’s a great head coach because he knows how to connect with people,” Frampton said. “He knows how to connect with his players, he is a player’s coach. Anybody who played for Freeze will love him. Yes, he is going to ride you when you’re messing up, that’s what his job is, but for the most part, he is a great man. Everybody is flawed, I’m sure there are a lot questions about what happened at Ole Miss and stuff like that, but the only man who should cast a stone is the one who hasn’t committed sin. Freeze, to me, is the epitome of a man that I would want my son to play college football for. I was blessed with the luxury to do so.” What can Auburn fans expect from Freeze? “What Auburn fans can expect from him, realistically, is for him to put everything on the line and to get them back to that national championship era. I highly doubt he won’t, I highly doubt he won’t, it’s just a matter of time,” Frampton said.
  20. auburnwire.usatoday.com Three-star OL Kahlil House to announce commitment this week Taylor Jones ~2 minutes After earning three commitments last week, Hugh Freeze and the Auburn coaching staff could keep their momentum going this week. Kahlil House, a three-star offensive lineman from Warner Robins, Georgia, ended his official visit tour by stopping in Auburn. Following his official visit to the Plains, House told Auburn Undercover he plans to announce his commitment this week. Buy Tigers Tickets Joining Auburn in the race for his commitment are Ole Miss, Cincinnati, Louisville and UCF. According to 247Sports, his final visit is Louisville later this week. Auburn was drawn to House because of his versatility. He tells Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover that offensive line coach Jake Thornton plans on using him in several ways if he ends up at Auburn. “Right tackle, guard and center,” House tells Auburn Undercover. “Coach (Jake) Thornton, what he explained to me was if I was to come here he’d start me off at tackle and then move me on inside and I’d develop and learn more.” In what has become a norm, House also said he enjoys the family-like atmosphere he feels at Auburn. Auburn offered House earlier this month, and almost immediately became the favorite to earn his commitment. 247Sports has already given Auburn two crystal ball predictions, and On3’s recruiting prediction machine gives Auburn a 73.8% chance to land him. House stands 6 feet, 4 inches and weighs 300 pounds. He is a three-star interior offensive lineman according to 247Sports and is the No. 86 player from the state of Georgia for the 2024 class.

  21. Auburn football coaching staff’s energy is big deal for 4-star OL Mary Kate Hughes 2–3 minutes It was a big weekend for the Auburn football program as they hosted a number of highly-ranked offensive linemen and other recruits on campus for official visits. For one of those prospects, it was not only his first trip to Auburn’s campus but his first trip to the state of Alabama. 4-star offensive lineman Preston Taumua made the trip this weekend all the way from Hawaii and was blown away by the coaching staff’s energy and involvement on his visit. Taumua already had a connection with his primary recruiter, tight ends coach Ben Aigamaua, who is from the same place that Taumua’s father is from and has already been to visit Taumua in Hawaii. But during his official visit, he got to know head coach Hugh Freeze and his would-be position coach Jake Thornton. Their high energy and their vision for Taumua were a big deal for the visiting O-lineman, per Auburn Rivals: “Coach Jake (Thornton) is full of energy, I’m not gonna lie,” Taumua said. “He’s good. He gave me the spill of what their O-Line is looking like this year and if I were to come here, I feel like I’d be a freshman starting off the bat. Especially playing in the SEC, it’s the best competition.” Taumua is ranked as the #200 overall prospect and the #8 inside offensive lineman in the recruiting class of 2024. He is the #1 recruit out of Hawaii and has already been invited to play in the 2024 Polynesian Bowl. Along with Auburn, Taumua has already officially visited Arizona and plans to get to his other top schools (Oregon, Nebraska, and Alabama) later this summer. The OL wants to check out the other programs before making his final decision, which he is set to do on August 24. Currently, Taumua has one 247 Sports Crystal Ball projection to land at Oregon, and his On3 Recruiting Profile indicates that Arizona is leading his recruitment, but a lot could change over the next few months with his visits. As of now, Auburn football is in a good spot.
