The completely replaceable 5th-year guys you're all of a sudden now seeing as announcing that they're coming back only started doing so after it became obvious that we weren't going to land Torrence and Brooks. That means that they missed on their portal targets, and THEN went and convinced or gave the "green light" for our seniors to return for another year. I'm almost sure of this at this point. Our Bowl game was December 28th; these guys who have no NFL Draft stock weren't mulling theit decisions over for ~3 weeks, that's absurd. Our guys who actually had NFL Draft stock (ie: Derick Hall, Colby Wooden) all announced their returns ~December 30th, but I'm to believe that Austin Troxell didn't know whether he wanted to come back or not? No, they tried to upgrade on those guys, failed, and then as a last resort brought the guys we could back. I believe you've nailed it with this post. It feels like that's exactly how everything panned out once it was obvious this staff just couldn't land upgrades. Well these 5-6th yr seniors will have a Master's degree when they leave, all on AU's dime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just getting dominated by Ole Miss. That's the current state of our program, if you can be honest with yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Friend already has 25 silent OT commits for the 2023 class so Auburn is good. Did you hear Auburn is #2 in basketball? What a jip! Maybe gip? Going into December everyone said it's OK we have a small OL class bc it'll be a really big Portal haul, 3-5 OL and we'll just get a bunch of HS kids next year. Lolol we're real dumb believing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, DM has absolutely lapped Harsin in performance, game planning, and recruiting. He’s done an outstanding job of building depth on his side of the ball and Zac Ethridge is turning out to be our ace in the hole recruiter! I guess we should look forward to final scores like this again, if we're lucky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausburn2 535 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 With the lineman returning you can manage the roster. Still time to add some high school lineman and red shirt first year. Still time to add thru portal as well. Numbers can still be brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a highly rated OL in the Florence area. Has offers from Penn St, FSU, Arkansas, Notre Dame among others. He would commit to AU on the spot.. He is a 2023 guy, but Bama is communicating now.
