I just don't get it. Hugh goes toe to toe against the big boys for high school recruits. Why not the portal.... It's still early maybe he can land some big time transfers 

May be about where he wants to target his NIL monies. They are definitely limited, so he may be pointing them towards HS recruiting mostly.

The difference in HS recruiting  and portal recruiting is what Hank says above and it is relationship building, love of Auburn, prior relationships and Auburn's atmosphere.   High School recruits get to visit Auburn multiple times, attend games and witness our game day experience and interact with our coaches and staff.  Auburn is a better sale the longer she has to show you who she is.  Some portal guys make decisions without even a visit.  Some make it based strictly on current roster and $$$$.   Some portal guys go to places where they were recruited during high school.   Based on the way we have recruited the last 4-6 years we don't have many existing relationships with elite players.  Long story short, our advantages r/n play better with high schoolers than portal guys.

“Auburn has offered Rocket Sanders”

Is this a hope or did this actually happen?  Do we really need another RB?  May indicate something happening soon in our RB room?

Not sure when but at some point I will get a list together of every AU transfer offer than has gone out & add it to the OP. @Paladin if you have the time & would like, can you do your best to get that list together for me?

Hank said it best about allocating for NIL but you build programs through elite HS recruiting. You’re not building a solid foundation in the portal. Best case scenario is we use the portal less and less going forward. 
 

I think if we’re going shopping it needs to be for Nolan from TAMU. Not having enough pass rushers really hurt our chances against UGA and Alabama. Also hurt not stopping OM’s run attack.
