I want to believe we haven't added another LB yet for this reason

I don't understand why the iron bowl would matter to him. Seems pretty clear he can either go to auburn play in the sec at a place that loves football or go to north Carolina because he wants to stay home. I can't fault a guy for wanting to stay home but regardless of what happens tomorrow the football experience at north Carolina is not comparable to auburn whatsoever

Are we pushing for pouncey or is Florida just winning that battle?

Doesn’t sound like Auburn is pushing. Same with Kendall Dennis

I really don’t know at this point. Eric Reed, Brian George, or Emmanuel Appiah I’d guess

Hall, Handy, Wooden, Coynis, Newkirk, and Caleb Johnson (+Walker, +Hardy) give us a lot of pieces to work with along side Moultry, Coe, Big Kat, and Truesdell. It will be a much different looking line but that’s a whole lot of talent
Don’t forget Foster Allen. He’s apparently having a huge season and in line for a big ratings boost.

Are we focusing on defense with our final 6-7 slots
Some. We’re adding one to two more DL. Still plan to add a tight end, a quarterback, a corner back, and maybe a third linebacker.

We aren’t pushing for him and I don’t think Florida is either. They’re almost full and their class in terms of overall numbers and CBs.

Brian George is the one we want most but indications are he’s apparently leaning Texas A&M. After that my guess would be Appiah.

Ive never understood this argument. If a kid has dreams of playing pro ball, would he forego playing for the Patriots or Cowboys so he could stay at home and play for the Birmingham Stallions???

Being at bigger programs doesn’t necessarily mean players will be developed better. That’s why we see players drafted from all over in every draft. If Simpson is willing to put in the work and has the ability that is believed in him from the potential by the recruiting sites he’s likely going to get drafted wherever he goes.

IMO big time talents, especially in the past don't worry about the school making them. They assume if they work hard and show out there talent will be evident. Millennial recruits have created this desire to play together and create super teams ala Lebron James taking his talents to Miami.

Bo didn't care if he went to bama, he believed his talent would get him to the next level no matter where he went.

I wish Trenton would pick us, but having the attitude that it doesn't matter will probably assure his success and future NFL opportunities. UNC has the facilities to provide him a platform to make that next step just like Auburn.

UNC had the #1 overall pick just a couple years ago... if you can play, they’ll find you.

He’s going to UNC, not ball state or something

His pro prospects will be just fine.

We just picked up a commitment from Jackson Billings. Unranked WR from Huntsville, assume he is walking on. 247 Profile
