Hugh Freeze talks adjusting to life at Auburn as the Auburn Ambush tour kicks off in Atlanta Updated: Apr. 26, 2023, 8:28 a.m.|Published: Apr. 26, 2023, 8:08 a.m. 6–8 minutes Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze, basketball coach Bruce Pearl, and athletic director John Cohen spoke to reporters Tuesday before the first of four stops on Auburn’s Alumni Association’s annual ‘Auburn Ambush’ tour. Freeze, Pearl, and Cohen were in Atlanta at the JW Marriott, with over 300 Auburn alums and supporters in attendance. Freeze started the day by showing appreciation for recruiting in the Atlanta area. “Atlanta’s huge for us football-wise, for sure,” Freeze told reporters. “We’ve got to build the majority of our team from the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and obviously within the Atlanta area, there are so many SEC-caliber players that we’ve got to win our share of battles here. So anytime we can get here and continue to enhance or build new relationships with the Auburn family that will be the ones that carry the War Eagle banner around town, I think it’s always a very positive step. I’m anxious to meet some of those people tonight.” Read More Auburn Sports: Former Auburn defensive end Jeffrey M’ba transfers to Purdue Scarbinsky: One March Madness, the last net down will come home with us 4 Auburn players officially listed as NBA Draft early entrants Pearl’s recruiting prowess in Atlanta is has been highlighted by signings such as Issac Okoro, Walker Kessler, Jabari Smith, and K.D. Johnson. For obvious reasons, Pearl wants to continue the trend. “Birmingham, I think, as a city, has the most students at Auburn, and then Atlanta is next,” So we’ve got a ton of alums and students that go to Auburn. Like Coach said, this has been an unbelievable place for us from a recruiting standpoint. They play great basketball here.” Freeze, Pearl, and Cohen addressed several topics concerning Auburn athletics. Here are a few takeaways from the event. -- In hopes of speeding up games, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a rule that will keep the clock running when a team makes a first down, with an exception during the last two minutes of a half. The previous rule had existed since 1968, stopping the game clock after first downs until the referee gave the ready-for-play signal. Freeze didn’t seem concerned about the rule that will get enacted in the 2024-25 season, in conjunction with the College Football Playoff expanding from four to 12 teams. “The games do get a little long with the timeouts, and I think that’s just a way — I truthfully don’t see that impacting the game largely,” Freeze said. “That’s just my personal view on it. Others may feel differently. But if it makes the experience for the people that are paying for the tickets and the suites and the ones that we need to support our program to help us build it, then I’m fine with it.” Cohen shared a slightly different opinion noting how there aren’t as many football games and that fans expect to spend significant time at the stadium. “Personally, this is a feel thing, not a data-driven thing, but my goodness, you only play seven home football games,” Cohen said. “I don’t think the length of games are necessarily out of control. It’s pageantry. It’s a homecoming almost every time you play a home football game.” Cohen further acknowledged a different experience for people watching the games at home. “I think there’s two products,” Cohen said. “There’s the product in-person, and there’s the product on television. And when you watch on television, anything that makes that product better really helps our programs in so many different ways. It’s viewed by the masses, so — They’ll make the right decision.” Penalties accepted at the end of the first and third quarters will be enforced at the start of the next quarter rather than having an untimed down is another rule change. Back-to-back timeouts during the same dead-ball period going away is the third change designed to reduce plays and speed up games. “Yeah, I wouldn’t want to see it go much further than that,” Freeze said. “I think we have a great product, and I hope kind of — I hope they do this if that’s what they see is best, and then we kind of us just — let’s go play the games.” Will it change how Freeze and offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery call games? Freeze didn’t seem worried about it. “No. I mean, whether the clock starts or doesn’t on a first down, we’re still going to go fast if we want to go fast,” Freeze said. It doesn’t change the rules of the game, so I don’t see a change in our strategy at all.” -- A rule change that could impact Auburn would be more stringent penalties for field-storming after big wins at Southeastern Conference schools. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey confirmed a Sports Illustrated report on Tuesday that the conference is considering requiring schools to forfeit a future home game for not stopping fans from storming the field. Cohen agreed with an increased need for safety. “Safety has got to be the most important thing,” Cohen said. “There has to be a way to preserve the fun for the fans and create that environment that makes the Southeastern Conference so special -- but also provide safety for everybody involved. I feel really confident we can get there.” In his first season on the Plains, Freeze hopes he can inspire fans to want to rush the field and tear the goalposts after a big win but agrees that safety needs to be at the forefront. “I hope we have some games that we win soon where people want to storm the field,” Freeze said. “But I hope we have some that it feels like you would want to do that. We would abide by whatever the administration and SEC decide is the safest manner to celebrate.” -- Freeze ended the chat by discussing how he’s adapting to life as the Auburn football coach. “It’s sometimes daunting. When you wake up at 2 a.m., you’re thinking, ‘Gosh almighty, we have so much to do.’ And you want to get it done so fast for the program and for the people that believed in you to hire you and trust in you,” Freeze said. “All of that weighs on you when you really care, and you want to get it done. But the transition to a place like Auburn, man, who wouldn’t want to live there? It’s a great place to live, and I’m blessed to have my family there. So that’s incredible also. So our transition now that everybody’s settled is it’s go time, and it’s a lot of work to do. But it’s a great place to do it at.”

Auburn cornerback Keionte Scott named one of nation's top defensive spring standouts Auburn defensive back Keionte Scott ended up having a very solid spring. Lance Dawe 21 hours ago Auburn defensive back Keionte Scott ended up having a very solid spring. After transferring in from Helix High School in 2022, Scott made his presence felt in both the Tigers' defensive backfield as well as on their special teams. Scott finished with 53 total tackles (fourth on the team), 4.0 TFL, one sack and one interception. His punt return average of 9.6 yards was sixth in the SEC. According to On3, the former No. 2 overall JUCO prospect is one of the nation's top 15 defensive spring standouts. The list, written by Matt Zenitz, includes three other SEC players: Alabama's Caleb Downs, Georgia's Daylen Everette, and Kentucky's Zion Childress. According to Zenitz's source, "Scott is on track to build on" a solid 2022 season and that "the Tigers’ staff views him as a future NFL nickel back." The Tigers have now had five players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers: Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba Linebacker Kameron Brown Linebacker Desmond Tisdol Linebacker Powell Gordon Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.

al.com Hugh Freeze: Spring transfer window 'quite a bit slower' than expected Published: Apr. 25, 2023, 6:19 p.m. 5–6 minutes The postseason transfer portal window was like an all-out sprint through a marathon for Hugh Freeze and his staff, but the spring window has seen a much more leisurely pace. Auburn was one of the busiest and most successful teams during the initial transfer window, bringing in a highly rated transfer haul that included a dozen newcomers for spring practice. Since the spring window opened April 15, however, things have been much quieter on the Plains — somewhat to Freeze’s surprise. “We really weren’t sure what to expect, and I do think it’s been quite a bit slower,” Freeze said Tuesday evening in Atlanta before the first stop on the AMBUSH tour. “I’m not sure that it’s a bad thing.” Read more Auburn football: Former Auburn defensive end Jeffrey M’ba transfers to Purdue Taking stock of Auburn’s eight freshman early enrollees after spring practice Taking stock of Auburn’s 12 early transfer pickups after their first spring on the Plains Since the start of spring practices, Auburn has seen just a handful of players depart the program, with three of those coming since spring culminated on A-Day. Reserve linebackers Kameron Brown and Desmond Tisdol opted to transfer during spring practice, while defensive end Jeffrey M’ba, wide receiver Tar’Varish Dawson Jr. and reserve linebacker Powell Gordon have hit the portal since spring ended. Meanwhile, Auburn has yet to land any incoming transfers in the post-spring window, even though Freeze is open to additions at any position and specifically cited five positions he’d like to address during this transfer period, which runs from April 15-30. Those spots include quarterback, edge rusher/Jack linebacker, cornerback, safety and offensive line. “It’s kind of been a bit slower than we anticipated,” Freeze said. “Feel like it picked up a little bit today, maybe. Or the last couple of days. Will be curious to see what the rest of the week brings. I think it’s well-documented that we’re always trying to improve our roster. So, we’re constantly monitoring it.” The Tigers have an ongoing competition at quarterback, where Robby Ashford, T.J. Finley and Holden Geriner split reps throughout the spring, and Freeze has been forthcoming in his public evaluations of the position, even saying on A-Day that he’s open to bringing in someone else to compete if it’s the right fit but adding that he believes Auburn can win some games with who it has in the room currently. Freeze noted early in spring that the Tigers are “deficient” in true pass-rushers, and adding depth to the Jack position would be a priority. Auburn finished spring with just three healthy outside cornerbacks, including true freshman Kayin Lee, and while more freshmen will arrive this summer, adding more experience to that room with the likes of Nehemiah Pritchett and D.J. James would be a luxury. The same goes for safety, where Auburn returns Zion Puckett and Jaylin Simpson atop the depth chart but would like to add another contributor to a generally young position. The Tigers already overhauled their offensive line in the first transfer window, with plug-and-play additions at both tackle spots and center but adding another guard to compete for a starting role would be helpful. Auburn has been in contact with a handful of players at some of those positions of need, including offensive guards Jaden Muskrat (Tulsa) and Emmanuel Pregnon (Wyoming), as well as edge rushers Isaac Ukwu (James Madison) and Jaheim Thomas (Cincinnati), among others. As Auburn tries to find more pieces to raise its ceiling in Year 1 under Freeze during this spring transfer window, the first-year head coach is also navigating the challenges of roster management with this new recruiting calendar. Auburn is currently projected to have approximately 83 players on scholarship for the upcoming season, two shy of the NCAA limit. “Figuring out the 85 in this new world is very, very challenging and very, very difficult,” Freeze said. “It also promotes some difficult conversations at times…. You sit here and you do what’s best for Auburn. That’s not always enjoyable by all. But it’s tough to manage the 85. And we go into the spring portal saying, ‘Here’s the ideal plan. We sign this number at this position and this number at this position, and this is how we get to the 85, by doing that.’ “But all of that is subjective to everything going exactly your way and players going into the portal who think can improve you. When that doesn’t happen, you hope that your Plan B is able to be successful. So, it’s a challenge.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

si.com Hank Brown: 'I am excited to get to work' Matthew Jacobs 4–5 minutes Incoming freshman Auburn quarterback Hank Brown sat down for an interview with Zac Blackerby on the Locked on Auburn Podcast today. Sporting a crisp, white Auburn T-shirt, this young man was as impressive as you will see a freshman be with his answers and his attitude. Here is a look at a few highlights from the broadcast. On his expectations for this summer: “I think it will be good to get with the flow with things and get adapted to how things are going on. To work on the foundation of getting stronger. Just everything that is included in getting into the college flow. I think that will be awesome and I am super excited to get to work” When Blackerby queried about what Brown was looking forward to once he got on campus: “I am excited to be with the team and get to take college classes. I am just excited to get to work and start this journey. A lot of the summer work is weight room, but a big aspect of it will be being able to build chemistry with the receivers. Some of them have already reached out to me and want me to come down and throw with them. I think it will be a lot of throwing, building that chemistry, and getting into the weight room and doing the work”. Brown was careful and calculating when he answered questions. For instance, when discussing the wide receivers he didn’t name names, just stated that he was impressed with the “core group” and reiterated a few times how special this tight-end group that Auburn has truly is. One also had to be impressed at the acute awareness of Freeze’s offense at Liberty and how it relates to the new Auburn two-headed offense with the Freeze offense melding with Phillip Montgomery’s scheme. “ It does excite me. The quick decision making. Getting the ball out fast, I like that”. He was very mature and up-front about one area he wanted to improve upon immediately: “I need to gain some good weight, weighing 200 right now, getting up to a good 210 by the season would be good.” The host pressed the young phenom about prepping for fall and what the coaching staff had told him. Brown, without hesitation, stated: “They said the (quarterback) competition is open through fall, I am just excited to work with the quarterbacks, they are all awesome dudes, and they are looking forward to helping me out so it is just going to be fun working with them” Brown was impressed by his signing class when he met them at A-day, and has already started building relationships. He seems exceedingly excited about spending time with Jeremiah Cobb, Auburn’s 4-star freshman running back commitment, and about how they were going to be roommates. If you could stop and take a picture in time of this moment, and ponder how both Hank Brown and Jeremiah Cobb could impact this Auburn program with their talents for the next few years, it is enough to take your breath away. They both are impressive with their maturity and how they conduct themselves. When you get a chance you really should do yourself a favor and listen and/or watch The Locked on Auburn Podcast today for the complete interview. It will absolutely increase your excitement level about this program that you probably haven’t had in a few years. What a great time to be an Auburn Tiger and get to appreciate these outstanding young men and their skills. The Tigers have now had five players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers: Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba Linebacker Kameron Brown Linebacker Desmond Tisdol Linebacker Powell Gordon Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.

sorry for the delay folks..............

dude you are such a loser. you are like herpes..........you just show up and ruin the whole day for folks. hell flies that eat sh*t and bother people have a better rep than you do. you just cannot leave any doubt to anyone that you are a moron. give a rest. i can go stalker mode like you tend to do and i can hound you for weeks. bird has been a valuable member of this board but instead using him as a positive on this board you have let people cloud your mind.

they have been investigation biden for over 5 years. i do not think the fbi would cover for him but at the end of the day if he is guilty then get him. it is that simple. but it has been a minute and they need to do something or quit.

look this is the net. yes i run my mouth and i love to. make me shut up if you can. i try to inject humor in things which often fails because ultimately if i think i am right i will not stop. NOW. that being said i hate no one on here and i get that everyone has an opinion. i have never told anyone to shut up or leave or quit posting either. at the end of the day i could break bread no problem. and i bet i have more conservative values than you might think.

we got a headhunter or two in the secondary and i am super excited about that. i love to some some young cat whp normally is not big decleat some dude that is usually bigger.

so you admit you are a trump man? i actually admire you can admit it. just pay attention to what his fellow repubs say. chris christy just pointed out a ton of his broken promises.

bad comparison between michelle and a cafeteria staff. was this on purpose? anyway i stand by what i said.you guys forget when i first got here yall all treated me pretty damn bad and piled on me saying fake news and i just hated trump for no reason at all. so it is going to be a while on trump as long as he is in politics he is fair game.. so then i came up with this idea to act just like trump did mouth and all on here. then you guys...some lost it. hell i know people tried to get me banned. i have yet to forget any of this. besides it is insulting when some idiot still claims the election was stolen. well to me anyway. you might not like me and that is fine but i do get your attention. by you i mean everyone. but i will make you a one time deal. and i do not want to do it but i will for this. get me a post with fifty repubs on it cosigning trump is indeed trash and i will never mention him again. tempting huh? it will kill my soul but i would do that. what do ya think?

i feel special and pretty. can i call you? lol

well i am let down. i laughed at your joke and all i get it an ok? i can laugh at a joke still if i find it funny. can you?

jerry we were all snake bit if people were honest. he talked a great game until these little uh oh's started coming out. to heck with em and let them eat fish heads. this is a discussion board. remember we had a few coaches that bought in on this board. do not let someone still your thunder. the differing opinions make it more fun. in my opinion your thoughts are probably just as important as running reds and i believe he would agree with me.

i am as well. it was said probably way too early our D would be a strength. i post so many sports stories i could not even begin to tell you who said it necause i get them jumbled up in my memory. i think out secondary is really going to be fun to watch. it seems like we have a kid who is a headhunter. i always loved thos cats that would come out of nowhere and just drill that behind. i think we are much better this year. the only thing that scares me is picking up the D. if we can learn it and get it down i think we will do better than many expect. but as always i am just a fan with a fans point of view as i do not know a lot about defense. we also have a killer punter. we got speed back with battie. i am looking forward to it.

hey......he has a better hair doo than trump............grins.

the vaccine mess is coming from churches for the most part. tis funny those guys like iam call me out for being a jerk but they seldom realize they do it as well. it is a bad look to me. i am wrong but they were so insulting about trump when i hit the boards i feel like payback is till owed. they called me a liar and an idiot among other things and no one said a word to stop them. one day they will get the hint.

my grandmother who i never even remember seeing was supposed to be full blooded cherokee. i was also told she was some kind of cherokee princess but i have my doubts about that as well.they lived in tennessee so it might be legit.

it is this kind of stuff that keeps me mad with the right. they always seem to be ok with it because you do not hear them coming in and saying this is wrong. stripping someone of power until probably a repub get s the office and then they reinstate those rights.

the only time i ever see anyone get chased around like 24 does you bird is because i believe he is in love with you and wants you bad. he obviously does not know what he is talking about so i think he has feather in his eyes................but hell me and ol golf know you are a sexy beast we just do not swing that way.so i do not believe i am so far off. we all make fools out our selves over love. just be careful if he asks how big a boy you are because it might not be what you would think..............grins.

thanks for trying wde. it was a dreaded meme but some smart people i know on the right act like it is legit. want me to send you a legal gummy? delta 8,and 9 and is stronger than i get from my dealer or did. he got medical grade. i would have to figure out how to keep it from melting.

well in case you are worried about me i am keeping what i got......................that was funny right there.

look we agree on wantng kids to be protected. but telling a family they cannot do something that is legal looks bad to me. they need to make damn sure it is legit. but you know it costs tons of monies to do this right? i am talking big money. i doubt few would waste that kinda money an a vague hunch or something.
