yahoo.com Why JUCO coach says Chad Baker-Mazara will be key piece for Auburn basketball next season Richard Silva, Montgomery Advertiser 4–5 minutes AUBURN — Northwest Florida State College basketball coach Steve DeMeo got lucky. So did Chad Baker-Mazara, but he just didn't know it yet. DeMeo, who returned to the Raiders in April 2022 after spending a few seasons as an assistant at St. Johns and East Carolina, was the coach at NWF from 2013-19. He led the Raiders to a 170-27 record over that period and left on a streak of five straight Panhandle Conference championships. He's made a living off not only putting players into higher levels of college basketball, but also winning while doing it. Just because NWF is a junior college doesn't mean DeMeo treats the program like it's worth any less. LOOKING AHEAD: What Auburn basketball's latest additions tell us about 2023-24 version of the Tigers POTENTIAL RENOVATIONS: What AD John Cohen is saying about Auburn football, basketball facility upgrades "I think a lot of times high-majors sign a guy and they’re like, ‘Well, why didn’t you run more stuff for him?’ " DeMeo told Montgomery Advertiser this week. "We try to run this like a real team. We don’t just want to cater to one guy. Winning is important to us, as well. I think winning translates everywhere.” That might've been what Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl was thinking when he offered the 6-foot-7, 190-pound Baker-Mazara a scholarship. Baker-Mazara is presumably Pearl's last big pickup of the offseason, joining transfers Denver Jones (Florida International) and Chaney Johnson (Alabama-Huntsville), along with five-star freshman Aden Holloway out of Prolific Prep in Napa, California. Baker-Mazara's shooting splits are staggering. He made 48.8% of his shots during his lone season with the Raiders, which included connecting on 46.9% of his triples. DeMeo assured those numbers aren't inflated, either: "We’re all blessed with something in life," DeMeo said. "… He’s blessed as a guy who can make jump shots." Knowing that, it might be shocking to see Baker-Mazara only averaged 15.2 points per game, which doesn't even crack the top 150 among JUCO players last season. With his efficiency, why wasn't he featured more in the offense, especially at the JUCO level? “I try to have a balanced roster," DeMeo said. "I don’t like one guy to have 25 or 20 and everyone else scores six. We try to have four or five double-digit scorers. ... We try to balance the roster, we try to get guys to do a little bit of everything. We like versatility and Chad was versatile. Colorado State guard Isaiah Rivera (23) controls the ball as San Diego State guard Chad Baker-Mazara (20) guards in the first half at Moby Arena on Friday, Feb. 4, 2022. "He defended well, he rebounded well. Not only did he make shots, but he made his free throws. He did a little of everything. He probably could’ve been more of a focal point, but we are a super-talented roster." DeMeo not only saw Baker-Mazara get lifted into Division I this offseason, but he also helped Kasean Pryor get to South Florida and Marcus Niblack get to Jacksonville. Taryn Todd, who averaged nearly 10 points per game last season, is looking to move up, too. Even still, DeMeo admitted he "probably should’ve got him (Baker-Mazara) the ball more." Baker-Mazara was brought in by DeMeo following one season at San Diego State in 2021-22. The wing was forced to leave the Aztecs after he "failed to live up to his academic responsibilities," according to a statement from SDSU coach Brian Dutcher given to the San Diego Union-Tribune in June 2022. But now back on track, DeMeo has little doubt the star that helped lead his team to the NJCAA title game last season will find success in his return to high-major basketball. “Coach Pearl and the staff do an unbelievable job of putting guys in positions to be successful," DeMeo said. "I think he’s going to have a chance to be a key player for them, for sure. I always like to look at the best-case and worst-case scenarios, and I think the sky's the limit for Chad because when you can score like he does, there’s not a question in my mind he’s going to be a key piece of that program.” Richard Silva is the Auburn athletics beat writer for the Montgomery Advertiser.

al.com No. 5 seed Auburn loses 6-4 vs. No.4 seed Vanderbilt in SEC Tournament Updated: May. 25, 2023, 6:11 a.m.|Published: May. 25, 2023, 12:26 a.m. 3–4 minutes By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com Auburn third baseman Bryson Ware’s two-run ninth-inning home run brought the Tigers tantalizingly close to victory. However, Auburn’s trio of long balls wasn’t enough to prevent the Tigers from losing 6-4 against Vanderbilt in the double-elimination portion of the 2023 SEC baseball tournament at Hoover Met. Ware tied Hunter Morris (2010) for the most home runs (23) in a season in program history. “That was a big home run. That made it possible in the ninth,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “That was a big one. What an amazing year. I couldn’t be more proud for Bryson.” Wednesday night’s loss means the Tigers will have to regroup quickly in preparation for an elimination game in the afternoon (pitch time slated for 1 p.m.) against rival Alabama. “We’ll be ready to go tomorrow,” Thompson “We’ll get to bed and get ready to fight. They’ve got a great roster. It’ll be awesome to play them. We need to bounce back.” Alabama lost against No.1 seed Florida in a game before Auburn’s defeat. Alabama had a three-run lead in the bottom of the tenth that turned into a 7-6 loss on a BT Riopelle walk-off three-run homer. The two teams met in their lone series in April, with Alabama winning two of the three games in the series that took place in Tuscaloosa. Tigers shortstop Cole Foster’s home run in the top of the first opened up the scoring for Auburn. The Tiger advantage wouldn’t last through the next half-inning. Vandy centerfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. put on a baserunning clinic with Auburn starting pitcher Chase Allsup on the mound. Bradfield Jr. stole second and third base on consecutive pitches, a Davis Diaz single scored Bradfield Jr. to make it a 1-1 game; Diaz eventually crossed home plate himself to give the Commodores a lead they would not relinquish. “Bradfield put pressure on us,” Thompson said. “He leads off with a walk and ends up scoring. We created a lot of offense for them by giving up walks and not finishing at-bats on our end.” Auburn infielder Chris Stanfield’s 418-foot blast tied the game at two in the third inning. Allsup got past his first-inning struggles with fourth consecutive scoreless frames. Vanderbilt scored a run on a fielder’s choice by Troy LaNeve with the bases loaded to drive in Diaz, breaking a 2-2 deadlock, giving Vandy a 3-2 lead. Vanderbilt relief pitcher Patrick Reilly took over for starter Sam Hliboki in the fifth inning. Auburn struggled to score against Reilly until Ware’s ninth-inning two-run home run opened the door for a comeback before it was eventually slammed shut, putting the Tigers on the brink of elimination in a matter of hours, against their biggest rival. “Bryson gave us a chance to get back in this one,” Thompson said. “We left some runs out there. We made some errors in the field. We took strikes and swung at balls. We’ll have to play better if we’re going to advance in this tournament. Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.

Alabama, Auburn season-opening lines posted; Tide slight favorite over Texas and more Updated: May. 24, 2023, 4:21 p.m.|Published: May. 24, 2023, 3:04 p.m. 3–4 minutes New Auburn coach Hugh Freeze, left, and Alabama head coach Nick Saban open the season with plenty of unknowns. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)AP There are plenty of unknowns heading into the upcoming college football season for both Alabama and Auburn. Hugh Freeze will lead the Tigers into the season in his first year on the Plains. Meanwhile, Nick Saban’s Tide debuts different offensive and defensive coordinators from a season ago. Then, of course, there is the question of quarterback for both squads. Despite all of it, DraftKings’ betting lines don’t appear to be impacted by those unknowns. The sports book has installed Auburn as a 39½-point favorite over visiting UMass on Saturday, Sept. 2. Alabama, on the other hand, is a 39-point home favorite against Middle Tennessee on the same day. DraftKings has also listed the Tide as a 7-point favorite against Texas the following week.

cbssports.com 2023 college football coach rankings: Mel Tucker, Sam Pittman plummet among Power Five coaches ranked 69-26 Tom Fornelli 14–18 minutes Few programs know the feeling of being left out of the big leagues quite like Houston. In 1994, four schools left the Southwest Conference to create the Big 12, leaving the Cougars, SMU, TCU and Rice wandering the non-power leagues as various in-state brethren competed on the national stage. "There are a lot of people that have a lot of scars from when the Southwest Conference broke up and we got left out," Houston athletic director Chris Pezman told CBS Sports. "There are a lot of people who have a massive chip on their shoulder." After 25 years of waiting, everything is about to change as Houston is one of four programs bound for the Big 12 ahead of the 2023 college football season. Cincinnati and UCF join the Cougars from the AAC, while BYU ends its decade-long run as an independent to join a major football conference for the first time. On July 1, the "Freshman Four" step into the brave new world of Power Five college athletics, the first to join the top half of college football's top division since Rutgers moved from the AAC to the Big Ten in 2014. But with a fancy new logo on the jerseys comes big money, resources and prestige that all four schools are hoping can set themselves up for the murky future of college football. "Financially, it means a lot. Recruiting, it means a lot to be able to tell recruits that you're going to play at the highest level," Cincinnati AD John Cunningham said. "Institutionally, there's been so much investment over the last 10-20 years to get to this point." TV revenue is king Houston football has undergone a resurgence in recent years since joining the AAC, winning at least 10 games under four different coaches since 2005 and relishing a Peach Bowl victory over Florida State in 2015. The basketball program has grown into one of the nation's best under legendary coach Kelvin Sampson. Behind the scenes, however, athletics has been over-leveraging its budget to create this opportunity. Houston's athletic expenses rose nearly 63% between 2014-22, according to inflation-adjusted data from the Knight-Newhouse College Athletics Database. Football spending alone rose 67% prior to the pandemic, which still wasn't enough to bring Houston above the FBS median. School filings obtained by the College Athletics Database show that more than 50% of Houston's revenue in 2022 came via institutional and government support, but only 12% came from conference distribution. For comparison: Nearly 40% of Texas Tech's revenues in the same year came from conference distribution with only 5% coming from institutional and government support. "It sounds really hokey and really kind of basic and obvious, but at the same time, it's been this cloud that's hung over us," Pezman said. "Any time we needed to do something extra, whether keep Kelvin Sampson or hire Dana Holgorsen, we were extending ourselves financially even further into the hole. We were doing it in the hopes that we would have a chance to make this transition. And now that it's coming together, we're seeing the ways that the finances start to work for an athletic department to be self-sustaining." Television revenue makes up the largest portion of conference distribution for nearly every FBS league. The AAC's deal with ESPN in 2019 doles out approximately $7 million in television distribution per team, while the Big 12's new contract will exceed $31 million per institution with annual payouts that could exceed $50 million with the arrival of the expanded College Football Playoff in 2024. Though payouts take center stage, funding around the edges is really where departments make their hay. Selling a Power Five product can quickly increase donor engagement and corporate partnerships. In the six weeks after Houston announced its 2023 schedule, headlined by a marquee matchup against hated Texas, 5,000 new season tickets have been sold; that essentially gets the Coogs to their sales budget for the fall three months before games start. The highly ranked basketball program is examining ticket price raises in the 40% range, which would just get them to the upper half of the Big 12's pricing. In Orlando, Florida, UCF quickly signed long-term naming rights agreements for both its football and basketball arenas after announcing the Big 12 jump. In 2013, Addition Financial Credit Union paid UCF approximately $560,000 per year for naming rights to Addition Financial Arena. After the move, AFCU agreed to a 12-year contract that will pay the school more than $1.6 million per season, nearly tripling the previous investment. "I truly believe these are all a direct result of our invitation to the Big 12 ... it's a sense of pride," UCF AD Terry Mohajir said. "It's made Orlando a Power Five city. As the hometown university, we now have a Power Five program right in the heart of Florida and right in Orlando." BYU previously signed a contract with the Independence Bowl for 2023 and 2025, but the annual postseason game has now been folded into the Big 12's pecking order, giving the Cougars far more access to marquee destinations. Additionally, a Big 12 schedule sends the institution affiliated with the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to three of the eight most populated Mormon states in the nation. New members of the Big 12 will not receive full distribution during their first few years in the league. Still, even a piece is significant enough to make a difference. "What's so cool about it is your conference distribution, it's kind of like your entry, it's like an interest payment," Pezman said. "It's there every year, and it's going to continue to grow, and that's what you build everything off of. But the increase in ticket sales, donations, multimedia rights, all those other things are going to be [significantly more] on top of the conference distribution." How money is being spent Mohajir quickly got to work putting together a public plan for the athletic department in anticipation of Big 12 competition, identifying four priorities detailed at a school-run website called Mission XII: facilities, personnel, operating budgets and name, image and likeness (NIL). "The money goes pretty quickly when you start looking at what you're trying to do to enhance your four parallel tracks," Mohajir explained. Easily the most visible expense has been facilities. All of the "Freshman Four" underwent massive football operations investments, creating bigger areas for both players and coaches. The facilities are standard among Big 12 schools. Cincinnati is building an 84,000 square foot indoor practice facility and a 96,000 square foot performance center, both of which will be ready by 2025. In addition to football upgrades, UCF is quickly getting its basketball facilities up to snuff before joining college hoops' premier league. Elsewhere, the men's and women's locker rooms are being revamped, and new turf was installed for the baseball and softball fields. Developments for tennis, golf and track are coming soon. Salaries are another significant expenditure. The costs are obvious: Power Five coaches are typically paid substantially higher than those in the Group of Five. Gus Malzahn's $2.3 million contract at UCF was average among AAC coaches, but now, he ranks as the lowest-paid coach in the Big 12 (that number is somewhat offset by a $21.45 million buyout tied to his dismissal from Auburn). Assistant coaching salaries also increase quickly, but the real difference comes downwind. Group of Five schools typically operate on a shoestring budget for support staff, whereas Power Five programs often amass armies of film analysts and recruiting staffers. Increasing the investment for staff roles can more effectively tailor player and recruiting efforts. Student experience expenses can also add up quickly. Within the last 18 months, Cincinnati hired its first director of performance nutrition and its first director of sports psychology to address nutrition and mental health concerns. As part of renovations, BYU remodeled the Built4Life Center, which holds tutoring and advisory sessions for athletes. "When I was at App State, you know you're going to lose coaches year-in and year-out because you just can't pay them," Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield said. "Another difference is recruiting budget, what you're able to spend on resources to go out recruiting and also on-campus recruiting. One of the things you can do is when groups come on campus, some of these schools, they'll lay out the red carpet. If you don't have the money, you can't do that. "Can you still win? Yes, you can still win," he continued. "But all those things help." Acquiring blue-chip talent For Top247 wide receiver Mikal Harrison-Pilot, Houston's move came at the perfect time. The son of former Cougars defender Chris Pilot quickly emerged as a major national recruit with offers from a number of the nation's best programs. Harrison-Pilot visited Houston's campus for the first time in 2018, and the Coogs were the third FBS team to offer him (within a week of Baylor and Oregon State). Holgorsen and his staff quickly made Harrison-Pilot a priority, even when it seemed like Houston was not a serious contender. Momentum shifted with the Big 12 announcement. "That's only a one-time thing, being part of that '23 class to bring Houston into the Big 12," Harrison-Pilot said. "My name is a part of that team. It's a goal you can cross off for any recruit just being in a new class, being in a new conference ... the Big 12's the second-best conference, and they're going to get me ready for the next level." Harrison-Pilot rated as the fourth-best recruit in program history when he signed, signaling a significant shift in fortunes. Fellow 2023 WR Jonah Wilson is the sixth-best, and fifth goes to 2022 recruit Matthew Golden, who also joined the program after the Big 12 announcement. That trend carries across the new Big 12 programs. UCF signed defensive lineman John Walker as its first top-100 national recruit in the 2023. Linebacker Andrew Harris and EDGE rusher Isaiah Nixon also rank among the top six players to sign with the Knights. BYU responded with a top-25 transfer class, headlined by former Pitt and USC quarterback Kedon Slovis. Despite a coaching change, Cincinnati landed the second-best quarterback recruit in program history: Brady Drogosh of Warren (Michigan) De La Salle. The three former AAC schools signed a combined seven blue-chip recruits; the 12 remaining AAC schools signed just two. Over the past five high school recruiting cycles, the eight continuing Big 12 schools had a median national class rank of 44.2, per 247Sports. The seven continuing members of the AAC sat at No. 80. Outside of Kansas, which only recently pushed its way out of the Big 12's basement, only one Big 12 recruiting class ranked lower than No. 64. Memphis was the only school with more than one class better than No. 64 in the AAC. The trend stratifies across Group of Five conferences, too, with the AAC far outpacing the Sun Belt's 101.8 median. "[The city of] Houston has a lot of great players, but they weren't coming because people didn't want to play in the conference they were in last year," Harrison-Pilot said. "The Big 12 plays a major role recruiting-wise. Everyone is pumped up trying to get new, better things." Redefining what 'Power Five' means In October 2022, the Big 12 beat other conferences to market by locking an extension with Fox and ESPN to broadcast games through 2031. The contract gave the conference much-needed stability in the wake of Texas and Oklahoma's departure for the SEC. However, while Harrison-Pilot considers the Big 12 one of the two top conferences in college football, the FBS will soon have to contend with behemoth television contracts from the Big Ten and SEC. The gap between the Top Two and Middle Three could soon clear $20 million per year and create a new round of headaches. The issues are not the Big 12's alone. Seven ACC schools have expressed concern about the league's somewhat limited television contract that runs through 2036. The Pac-12 is still in the midst of a tense negotiation for a new television contract with the previous deal set to expire in 2024. No end date is in sight. The "Freshman Four" have not been strangers to the dynamics. Even after the Big 12 announcement, Cincinnati lost highly successful coach Luke Fickell, who will nearly double his salary to just under $8 million at Wisconsin. Only one continuing Big 12 coach at a public institution earns more than $5 million a season: Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy. Salaries at Baylor, TCU and BYU are unavailable since private schools are not subject to public records requests. Still, Cincinnati hired a sitting Power Five coach. Satterfield agreed to leave Louisville for the Bearcats, and the Cardinals were free to pursue their favorite son, Jeff Brohm from Purdue; the separation ultimately worked out for everyone. "The fact that they were going into the Big 12 was a huge, huge selling point for me," Satterfield said. "I was sitting there in the ACC, playing some big-time ball in a big-time conference. The opportunity now to go play in another Power Five conference at a place where I felt administration -- at the highest level on campus and within the athletic department -- was much more stable. That was very, very important for me." Despite the monetary dynamics, the continuing Big 12 remains optimistic about its positioning in the new world. The expanded College Football Playoff should help assuage concerns. The league will have at least six years of rock-solid membership during the expanded field, which guarantees six conference champions a spot in the field. There is no better example than TCU, which rose from the Mountain West to the CFP National Championship in the span of a decade. Satterfield noted that during his shift from the ACC to the Big 12, there have been very few concerns about the conference's stature heading forward from recruits and parents. "Obviously, the dollars are always important, but it's just as important the exposure that you get," Cunningham said. "When you're on Fox and when you're on ESPN, you're in every bar in every restaurant in the country all the time ... and there's some strategy behind that shorter-term contract because we know we'll have an opportunity to go back out and do another deal after that. To get the deal done and to quickly get the deal done has put us in an absolute prime spot in my mind." For Pezman, getting to this point is worth it. He played for Houston during Andre Ware's Heisman Trophy run and starred four seasons in the Southwest Conference. In his mind, Houston belongs in the Big 12 with its Texan peers. The problems facing college football are new ones to take in stride, just like every other one the Cougars had to overcome for the last 25 years to return to the biggest stage in college sports. "That's the good pressure; I'll take this all day long," Pezman said. "These are high-rent problems, and they're really not problems. I don't want to sound like a car salesman, but we asked for it. This is what we wanted. We're going to find a way to make this work and make the most of it."

Nathan Bedford Forrest was one of the bravest men in the confederacy.some of the heroic things he did was eye opening. and he was racist. he had slaves but history says he treated them well altho he did in fact own them. something happened toward the end of the war and he had a huge change of heart. he got rid of his slaves and and took many of their grievances to court for them. and yes bedford was a kkker for a fact. but when he realized they w re doing more against blacks than carpetbaggers he resigned and continued helping slaves or ex slaves for pretty much the rest of his life. i read his bio and it was amazing. how true was it> i have no idea i just trusted his biographer to tell the truth just because people are racist at one time does not mean they can be redeemed. he did have a ton of sources to back his stuff up but i never looked into it. so lets be clear he was not racist all his life and he dedicated his life to helping ex slaves.

Analyst: Former Auburn QB deserves $1.5 million NIL more than Deion Sanders’ son Andrew Hughes ~3 minutes FishDuck's Charles Fischer believes former Auburn football QB Bo Nix deserves a $1.5 million NIL evaluation over Deion Sanders' son Shedeur Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Bo Nix is the quarterback that got away for many Auburn football fans, and local businesses around the Plains and across the state of Alabama could feel the same way given his $1.5 million NIL evaluation. Per EmpireStakes.com, Nix is tied with UNC’s Drake Maye and Jackson State-turned-Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders at No. 7 on the list at that figure. FishDuck’s Charles Fischer doesn’t believe Sanders has done enough to warrant being the third-highest-paid quarterback in college football behind Texas’ Arch Manning and reigning Heisman winner Caleb Williams out of USC. “So Coach Sander’s son has not played a down in D-1 football, and he is valued the same as Bo Nix? That is crazy until I remember that this is not about performance, as much as it is social media presence,” Fischer prefaced before saying, “I am sure that Neon-Deion has Shedeur Sanders rocking in his online presence. While I know life it not fair, but it sure seems that Bo deserves his a whole-lot more!” Auburn football could be in a better spot than Bo Nix and Oregon in 2023 The 2022 season was depressing for Auburn football fans, who saw the Tigers’ quarterback position, manned by TJ Finley and Robby Ashford, struggle to find any consistency under center as Nix had a career year in Oregon. Reports came out that Nix was no longer enjoying the sport — yes, he was no longer having fun you can say — and was miserable playing under Bryan Harsin during the 2021 season, which was the nail in the coffin for the Boise native’s time on the Plains. Things could switch up in 2023, though, with Nix struggling to recapture his 2022 magic and AU making a run to the top of the college football world. Kenny Dillingham’s departure to Arizona State could be more damning for the Ducks offense than most realize, and Hugh Freeze’s transfer portal addition, Payton Thorne, could be the experienced signal-caller needed to stabilize the offense. Things could finally be looking up for Auburn for the first time since Nix had the team at 6-2 and in the top 15 during the 2021 season.

247sports.com 5 Tigers picked AllSEC by Athlon Sports Nathan King 5–7 minutes HOOVER, Alabama—Trailing 4-3 in the fourth inning, the No. 13 Auburn Tigers (34-19-1) got a three-run home run from Cole Foster to take the lead and a two-run shot from Bryson Ware in the bottom of the eighth to provide some cushion in a 10-4 victory over Missouri in the SEC Tournament opener on Tuesday night. With the win, coach Butch Thompson’s team advances to face No. 4 seed Vanderbilt in game four on Wednesday at the Hoover Met. While the offense will get the headlines, the story of the game was the relief pitching of Chase Isbell and Zach Crotchfelt. Coming on after starter Tommy Vail struggled out of the gate, Isbell didn’t allow a run in three innings before turning things over to the true freshman to finish off Missouri. He pitched the final two and one/thirds innings to pick up his first career save. “I thought we were a little out of character early,” Thompson said. “I didn’t like everything. I thought our engine was revved too much. “I thought Chase Isbell settled the game for us just a little bit. And I thought Cole Foster’s home run just really allowed us to exhale and get back to playing our brand of baseball. Zach Crotchfelt was tremendous for us tonight.” At the plate, Auburn got two hits from Foster as well as two hits each from true freshmen Chris Stanfield and Ike Irish while Foster and Ware each had three runs batted in. Auburn freshman Chris Stanfield had a pair of hits on Tuesday night. (Photo: Jason Caldwell, 247Sports) Down 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth, Auburn was looking to get something going and it started when Kason Howell was hit by a pitch. Following a one-out walk to Nate LaRue, Stanfield singled through the right side to tie the game and bring Foster to the plate. Jumping on the first pitch, Foster mashed his 12th home run of the season deep over the wall in right field to make it 7-4 Auburn. “It was huge,” Ware said of Foster’s home run. “Playing in Birmingham with the fans in the stands. Cole puts us up with a really good swing. The momentum just shifted back to us and they could never really regain it. It’s huge, him doing it on both sides of the field.” With the bullpen keeping Missouri off the board, Auburn came back for more in the bottom of the eighth to put the game away. Foster continued his big night with a single through the right side before Bobby Peirce doubled him home to give Auburn a four-run lead. Up next, Cooper McMurray doubled to deep left field, but Peirce was thrown out at the plate for the first out. That brought Ware up with a chance to break this game open. That’s what he did. Getting a 1-1 pitch over the middle of the plate, Ware blasted a two-run shot over the wall in left field for his 22nd home run of the season. That gave Auburn a 10-4 lead with Crotchfelt going back out to try to finish things off in the ninth. He slammed the door shut on a big win for the Tigers to advance to face Vanderbilt on Wednesday. “It’s really exciting,” Ware said. “We’re getting hot at the right time. Kason said the other day ‘I don’t think we’re getting hot, we’re just a good baseball team.’ That’s kind of coming out. It’s really exciting to see the team link it up offensively and on the mound. Cole made some outstanding plays at shortstop. It was fun to watch. I’m really happy to be a part of it.” Coming off a stomach bug that limited him to just two innings on Saturday, Auburn starter Tommy Vail was not his normal self on Tuesday night at the Hoover Met. Going just three and two/thirds innings, the senior allowed four runs with two of them earned while allowing just two hits. The biggest issue for Vail was an uncharacteristic four walks that contributed to a high pitch count and kept him in trouble throughout his outing. It started early on when Vail ran into trouble in the top of the second of his own doing. Struggling with his command, the lefty walked the first two batters for Missouri before a pair of fly balls moved the runners up to score a run and give the black and gold Tigers the early lead. Without much life early in the game, Auburn’s offense got things going in the bottom of the third with some help from Missouri pitcher Jadyn Pimental. Leading things off, LaRue singled up the middle before Stanfield belted a double the other way to put runners on second and third with nobody out. After a pitch hit Foster to load the bases, Peirce walked to force in a run and tie the game. A McMurray groundout gave Auburn the lead before a Bryson Ware sacrifice fly made it 3-1 after three innings. Auburn would give it right back to Missouri in the top of the fourth and they were all gifts. Vail allowed a leadoff single to right field and when Peirce booted it, the runner advanced to second with no outs. Following a groundout to move the runner to third, Vail coaxed a ground ball off the bat of Tre Morris, but it bounced off the glove of Ware at third for the second error of the inning to allow the run to score. A single to center following before Vail issued a walk to load the bases. After throwing a very good 2-2 pitch that was called a ball, the senior walked in a run to tie the game at three. Coming on in relief, Isbell uncorked a wild pitch to allow a run to score and put Missouri back in front. But Auburn would answer back and in a big way on the way to the opening night win. Box Score

si.com How Auburn managed to secure the second-best portal class in the country Jack Singley ~4 minutes The portal over the past few years for Auburn has been a give-and-take system. Under the guidance of Bryan Harsin, the Tigers had much more taken from them than given. Harsin was at the helm for two seasons and had 38 players leave for other teams, this includes 14 of the 18 enrolled players that were in Harsin's first class in 2021. Harsin managed to bring in 18 overall transfers, however, seven of these transfers have transferred out of Auburn, which leaves the Harsin administration with a net total of 11 players gained through the portal. This inability to grab onto a solid portal prospect and even if they were signed the likelihood of them transferring was around 40 percent. Auburn in the 2021 and 2022 portal windows was abysmal, so how did they go from mediocre at best to the second-best class in the country? The answer to that is name recognition and proven success. Hugh Freeze, a talented coach who has been enveloped by controversy for almost a decade was the choice following Harsin. Fans and media alike had their opinions about Freeze, but after almost a month following his hiring as Athletic Director, John Cohen took the risk and so far it has paid off. Freeze has what Harsin didn't the national recognition that makes recruits say "Oh the coach that turned Ole Miss around" or "Oh, Freeze? Yeah, he is the only coach to beat Saban in back-to-back seasons". There is a certain pedigree that comes with winning and despite the mistakes he has made, Freeze is still held in high regard amongst coaches and former players. Freeze and staff showed this history of success to players looking to make the decision that could lead them to the NFL. Defensive Coordinator Ron Roberts, whose past experience at Baylor and ULL has produced multiple NFL players helped to bring in 10 recruits in the 2023 portal class, including Justin Rogers, a defensive lineman from Kentucky who was the third overall player taken in this class. On the offensive side of the ball, Philip Montgomery and his past at Tulsa and experience with talented quarterbacks while at Baylor along with Freeze's renowned offensive coaching ability led to Auburn signing 11 offensive players. Most notable were Dillon Wade former Tulsa OL, Caleb Burton an Ohio State WR, Payton Thorne Michigan State QB, and Rivaldo Fairweather Florida International TE. The resurgence of a fan base, a proven head coach, and a support staff built for recruiting led Auburn from 19th in 2021 and 23rd in 2022 to being second in the country for transfer portal recruiting. The only team that has performed better than the Tigers, is Colorado which is led by one of the most polarizing figures in sports history, Deion Sanders. Colorado brought in 48 total recruits, which is over half the team's whole roster, headlined by former five-star Travis Hunter, Sanders brought in one five-star, five four-stars, and 39 three-star recruits. Auburn led the nation in four-star portal commits with 11 and rounded out its class with seven three-stars and three non-ranked
