AuburnEagle79 2,199 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Good for them. He means business. I'm just not sure that UF is a premier destination for recruits in the southeast anymore. That's their issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburnfan91 1,408 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Louisiana Lafayette won the Sun Belt championship game today over Appalachian State 24-16. Napier's not going to coach the bowl game so he finishes 12-1 his last year at ULL. This is Lafayette's first 12 win season in school history.

AUBwins 10,281 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Yep, glad it was more than 6 mill. Lol Proud of the Cajuns for getting the ship outright finally. They usually have a weird split situation. My daughter got to run across Cajun field several years ago as part of halftime festivities. Coincidentally it was against Boise led by Harsin. That team was stacked, if only I'd known at the time of all the NFL corner pieces. 2016 team, Alexander Mattison, Jeremy McNichols, Cedric Wilson all big contributers that game. They whipped the Cajuns in Lafayette, LA at high Noon. Hottest game I recall attending. Upper 90s and humid at game time.

But I have a grudging understanding for why we didn't. Edited December 5, 2021 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's several generations worth of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,985 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Pretty interesting recruiting start for Napier at Florida: he is seemingly not contacting certain currently committed recruits and seems to want to "re-evaluate" the kids that stayed on after Mullen was fired. He has already lost commitments from 4 * QB Nick Evers, 4* WR Jayden Gibson, and 4* WR Chandler Smith - all kids that stuck with Florida. Gibson is a Florida legacy and he was a target for us before he committed to Florida. We also offered and were recruiting the QB Evers. For those that deeply wanted Napier at Auburn, thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never an advocate for Napier, but that sounds kinda dumb this close to the early signing day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,939 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) "You guys are probably going to get frustrated with me. We're going to be very patient and calculated about everything that we do. And eventually we'll have the full group together and we'll go to work." "I think it's important in recruiting that both sides understand each other and have had time to build relationships, to have conversations, to know who is going to coach you, to fully understand what the plan is," Napier said. "So I think it goes both ways in that regard. I think it's an injustice to them and it's an injustice to us to all of a sudden just hurry up and elope right here at the last second." He also said that Florida likely wouldn't sign many players in the Early Signing Period, and that once the ESP ended he'd have more of a chance to get his full staff assembled and put together a more coordinated approach to recruiting leading into National Signing Day in February. He said this is how it was going to be. He has his own method of doing stuff. Is it dumb? Who knows. It has been a couple of weeks. But this is no new revelation. I say give the dude some time lol.

Napier wanted them in the photo to make it look the way it does. Also the $5 mil is an increase of $1.55 mil from Mullen days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
