Tuscaloosa, I await your response:
I counted 7 NFL draft picks that I listed that were on Alabama's roster in 2007. Can you find 7 on Auburn's? No you cannot. Maybe one or two fifth round dudes as usual.
BTW Tuscaloosa one of the undrafted players from that team, Wallace Gilberry, ended up with 34 sacks in the NFL.
Another was once First Team All-SEC
Now find Auburn's first team all SEC guys this year.
Alabama had 5 first Team All SEC selections the same year they got beat by Louisiana Monroe.

I think you suggesting Mike Shula did a better job of “roster management” - under some of the most severe sanctions in NCAA history - than what Freeze ended up with in year one - is one of the most laughable, absurdly stupid things I’ve ever read on these forums.
Maybe Hugh Freeze develops his former walk-ons and 3 stars as well as Saban did, maybe not. But using hindsight to make such a ridiculous claim is hilarious.
You’re counting guys that got drafted 2-3 years later and talking about them like they didn’t have multiple years to develop and were studs when Saban arrived. The only sure fire draft pick on that roster when Saban arrived was Andre Smith.
Did you know that Hugh Freeze’s first class at Auburn had a higher average recruit ranking than Nick Saban’s at Alabama? Of course you didn’t.
You guys brought in 14 players ranked 4 stars or higher before last season. If you can’t find 7 players on Auburn’s 2023 roster that will be drafted, that’s on Hugh.
