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.

Saban inherited an actual 5* in Andre Smith. He inherited a Butkus winner in Ronaldo as he was committed to Shula. He inherited 5 ALL-SEC players in 2007. He inherited a 1000 yard receiver.
You trying to pretend Saban inherited a worst roster than Freeze is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Auburn's best player in offense was probably a 2* transfer guard Freeze brought in or 3* Hunter. Freeze didnt inherit DJ hall, nor Caddell.
