Ohio State is in a tough spot man. Tough to move on from a coach who goes 11-1 every year but he can't beat Michigan now and he can't close on big time talent.


He only goes 11-1 every year because there is an absolutely massive talent gap between the OSU/Michigan/Penn State cohort and the rest of the B1G. They'll fire him in a couple of years after they get blasted in the expanded playoff and it becomes obvious that he's just Lincoln Riley in a trash conference.

This isn't me being salty...I felt this way before he flipped...Perry Thompson isn't a 5 star talent at WR. Good player and an obvious upgrade for Auburn but he'd have a tough time getting on the field in Tuscaloosa.

With their QB situation I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the portal next offseason. Same with Cam.

Just have to lockdown Williams. The win of the day would be getting him to sign today with Bama. Probably not happening.

When he was headed to the portal, LSU fans said he was terrible. Now I'm sure they'll go back to saying he's great.

He might not even be able to finish required courses to be available this year. Hard to do at the last minute, without going into the summer semester. Just testing the waters. Who knows.

He’s a good player - don’t knock him just cause he went to Auburn. They had a lot to sell at that position - should be easy for them.

I disagree. Probably wouldn’t play much as a freshman at Bama, but he’d be on the field often by the time he’s a sophomore and junior. It’s a loss, but we’re in good shape at WR

Who did they sell him on that will be throwing the football to him? Or did they convince him they would be running a ton of reverses?

Auburn has Walker White committed, a top-10 QB out of Arkansas.

I specifically said he was good and I specifically said I felt that way before he flipped. Tape isn't 5 star caliber. Should be ranked in the 75-125 range.

Good for Auburn...they'll need a lot more than Perry Thompson to get on Bama's level, though.

Now Cam Coleman is a true 5 star. That kid is a baller.

I don’t know, but anyone with a brain can look at what they have at WR now and know that you can come in a start day 1.

It’s about the PT for many of these kids.

All is shits and giggles for now - no one really knows how good they are until they get their bell rung by SEC-level DBs. Many are also not used to having DBs run stride for stride with them too.

We’ll see and hope we get the good ones.

I live right next door to one of the Buckeye coaches that also happens to be a close personal friend. I texted him to ask how signing day is going and he replied we lost Houston to Bama. He also hinted at losing someone else. Also said we aren't adding anyone today!




Lol i love signing day

Reported this morning that Daingerfield (Texas) High Top247 athlete Aeryn Hampton was on flip watch from Texas to Alabama. That still looks strong for the Crimson Tide. Hamton and Ryan Wingo are the only ones yet to send in their letters-of-intent to the Longhorns facility.


Also, Perry is a good WR, but below Williams and Coleman. His measurable alone help his ratings. We will be OK without him

Do they? Shitty passing offense. AU and Freeze don’t pump out receivers into the NFL. The one 1st round WR of Freeze had was a huge bust in the NFL

Playing time too but mostly NIL is the reason he’s there

I mean Freeze put AJ Brown and DK Metcalf in the league and both are top tier wide receivers. Not saying it’s a great recruiting pitch as Auburn hasn’t produced an elite receiver in a very long time but to sell Freeze short is just a lie

Didn't Brown and Metcalf only play one year under Freeze?

Heard from Florida guy on the radio Auburn and Florida have out NIL’d Bama for Favour Edwin and he will go with the better deal.

I believe so but I’d still credit Freeze with the reason they are in the league.

No he didn't. Freeze signed them and got fired a year later
