From everything I've seen. That's seems accurate. I just wonder if AU is trying to get some kind of "cause" thing together at the end of the season, bc what he doing right now is pure negligence. If he were out recruiting, doing his thing but still losing games, fine, but he's doing the exact opposite. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there won't be as much talent to easily snake last second. Good point. We will have to be creative. The first year will likely be finding serviceable guys. If by some chance there is a good QB we can land, getting him could bring others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,754 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 With all those OL leaving that should leave it wide open for transfers. Need to shout it from the mountain tops. If you want a chance to play immediately with a ton of exposure, come to Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,583 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The OL position - We all saw this coming. Even with the low OL numbers that we have returning, how many of those are actually starting SEC caliber players? Also finding portal lineman is difficult. The top teams in the country are always plucking the best from other teams. I guess we are all about to find out. This has been our fear for years and it is finally coming home to roost. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intentional grounding comes with a penalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 4,068 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It’s embarrassingly bad to see that roster breakdown like that. The truth definitely hurts lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,910 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Thanks Zeek, great stuff! With portal jumping and NIL $ drawing 5 stars to who knows where (cough cough Jackson State? cough cough) predictions from season to season have become guesses IMO. Just compare our QB room rigjt now to this time last yr. Your depth today may be gone in the offseason or your weakness gets a world class boost or two. Strange times.

Zeek 16,957 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Current commits for the sake of the discussion. Granted, everything will be up in the air when Harsin is fired. 4* RB Jeremiah Cobb would be a good rotational piece 4* WR Adam Hopkins needs some development 4* S Terrance Love recently grew and is looking like he could see the field early 4* WR Daquayvious Sorey has a MASSIVE talent difference to overcome from the competition he is used to down here 4* DE Ashley Williams will need to fill out some more 4* ER Wilky Denaud can get reps early and has an amazing build 4* IOL Clay Wedin can play anywhere on the line and is a great run blocker 4* OC Bradyn Joiner will compete for a spot at center. Has a mean streak. 3* DL Jamarrion Harkless depth piece 3* CB JC Hart a lot of athleticism but needs to develop 3* IOL Gernorris Wilson needs to put on some mass but can compete early for a spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindly defend them so they at least have a ******* chance in public perception before a game is played. If they're a** whatever but let's not make it clear to the whole world we think they'll fail. Fake a smile and let recruits see a message of unity and support. Keep the griping to DMs lol. That said, I do think Grimes would be a great hire. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to break it to you but we're not finding 5 within 2 years minimum and there are plenty of other holes to fill as well. We were at least a 2 year rebuild before Harsin put us further behind. I am not talking about getting back to an 8-4 team, I'm talkiing about the soonest we can reasonably expect to compete for championships. There's no difference between 8-4 and 6-6.
