re: Bruce vs Freeze recruiting strategy

If the culture is such that they decide to stay, then I agree with you. Hard to tell yet if those are the kind of players Freeze is signing or not. I think Freeze is leaning into it and relying on faith that this is the correct path, so I guess the proof will be in the pudding. Auburn is going to play a lot of young players this year and they'll take their lumps so I hope the AU fam will be patient. It's not our long suit. We can be our own worst enemy in that way.

If Kiffin wins big this year with a program that is a traditional also-ran, you'll see a lot of coaches lean to his way of recruiting. Kind of a crossroads for CFB.
