Welp, I guess DeBoer and his staff were able to build those in-state relationships quite quickly

Something that Auburn fans have been saying DeBoer will fail at...

DeBoer and the staff (particularly Courtney Morgan; he deserves a ton of credit) have done a fantastic job of not only building relationships with in-state prospects and their families, but across the hotbed of the SEC. We have taken (or been a finalist for) top notch, highly sought after prospects from all over. Our staff seems extremely genuine and of high character across the board, and that clearly resonates with these recruits and their parents. Remember - we had zero scholarship players jump ship after the Spring. That is pretty incredible in this era and a testament to how these guys view CKD, “a guy with experience exclusively in the Pacific Northwest who Freeze would run circles around in recruiting” … or whatever bullshite the boogs were trying to sell us.

Ok... what was I thinking by saying 39 miles - it's 40.8 miles

This the ONLY reason they hired him and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Jackson Arnold transferring there because he beat us at Oklahoma last year is another sign of boog obsession with beating Bama.

I get Nico Collins vibes, he's more athletic than his larger size would indicate.

I didn’t follow him too closely at Michigan, but he was a big guy with good but not blazing speed right?

Frankly most of those Michigan offenses under Harbaugh didn’t really highlight WRs and I don’t track the NFL very closely so I’m not sure I have a good read on his game.

Nico has really good build up speed, had almost 20 YPC his last year in college. His knock is/was quickness, like he's not gonna be a guy who can dust people off breaks on sharp routes, but is a lot better than you'd think in the short game with his acceleration. Health is his biggest issue nowadays.

Mike Evans even compared him recently to himself and Julio, if you want to take his word for it...

So I guess having a losing record on the Plains isn't seen as a disappointment.

So how game ready is Morgan IYO?

Williams had cheat code short acceleration and explosion so he made up for some slack in his routes at times IMO, does Morgan have factors that would get him on the field early or is he going to need time to make a difference against SEC defenses and in a WR room that isn’t exactly empty.

“All those teams had disappointing years last season”… ah yes, Auburn was a total success. Of course we are more desperate than a team who last won the conference when their freshmen were 3.
