Some differences yes, but also some similarities as well.. Another reason not to rely heavily on the portal is the rules are always changing. Hard to sustain a program with ever changing rules. Don't get me wrong, it's possible to get a couple difference makers in portal, but can't sustain a program long term that way. IMO

Compare it to going heavy on the JUCO players which no one really does anymore

Come on man, you don't really believe that do u? U don't think boosters are sliding in money to players under the gise of NIL?They were doing it b4 NIL at the risk of NCAA sanctions. They are absolutely doing it now with no fear of NCAA reprimand

U , Mikey and AU 24 need to start a band and go on tour

LOL OK

He may be better than Gus, but I can imagine the uproar on this board if he was AU coach and used his "analytics" like he did against AU last year. Those decisions helped cost Ole Miss the game . AU fans would have wanted to ship him off to Chop Suey China

But bowl games gives players gift bags. It's also a reward for a 6-6 season

That's just it. No regulation. It's the wild wild west. I think your spot on of how it was SUPPOSED to work

I think this NIL thing is totally out if control. This is not what was intended. Asking fans to donate LOL... I'm all for players profiting of their name, image likeness. But it's gotta be regulated. How bout setting aside some of that TV money in a pot and giving players a certain % .. All we got now is "Boosters gone Wild".

It's not sustainable to rely so heavy on the portal

Coaches focus on recruiting year round. If they don't, they won't be employed long

I said the same thing a few days ago about the dysfunction and got the ol face palm. Of course, I should have considered the source of where the face palm came

Would like to get Jelani... Would LOVE to get BO

Maybe we keep it rolling this wkend at Big Cat. Also hear Jelani Thurman has scheduled another visit to AU... Funny how just a little positive news can change the narrative

For the love of all things good, can the games hurry up and get here!!

Golf says it wasn't even close to happening so who knows🤷‍♂️

Mikey, you don't think Auburn is dysfunctional?

That narrative was being pushed by some folks. I think I read it on here, so I took it to be fact.😁Probably by the same people who said Harsin had an affair with a subordinate. Just curious, where did the #Stop Steel Movement originate?

Not sure all that will ever happen... Even if Greene and Harsin are gone, history tells us AU will never be completely aligned. Not with Tubbs, Gustav, Chiz, Bowden. Only exception is Dye...Think about it, the big $ men at AU supposedly wanted Kevin Steele... This is Auburn, always been dysfunctional, prob always will be.

I know he has been on campus numerous times. Not sure if it was official or unofficial. Also know Harsin visited his school back in the spring. Their high school has another D1 prospect for 2024

Didn't u know Tuskaloser is made of Teflon

What is his commit date

Yep. Center or guard. Heard Lew was going to GA

Sounds familiar

Nope 3 star. High 3 star
