If Auburn names Sanders as the new coach, the transfer portal will catch fire, burn down and basically eliminate itself

I honestly believe you will have some kids hit the portal, who would not have, simply to come to Auburn and play for the guy.

By the way, with all these contract negotiations that will be going around, Jonesy needs to strike while the iron is hot and ask for some cute assts

KN just spoke with Keyone Jenkins (3* QB from Miami Central). He’s committed to FIU but apparently has been in talks with Auburn. Sounds like he’s heavily considering coming to AU as a preferred walk-on. He’s Reuben Bain’s cousin FYI.

Should have a list later this week. I think Russaw, Smith, and Darron Reed will be in town

List from 247

Yep massive list. Can we make up enough ground on some of these I’m not sure but wow what a difference an enthusiastic recruiting staff makes if only in perception.

KN says between HS, JUCO, and Transfers, we could be looking at 40-45 new guys in this class.

Just some perspective on how important this hire is.

I think Brett said if that’s the number just for this class for next year will be between $7-8 million to be competitive. Premium is on OL and DL.
