re: 2025 Football Recruiting

Anybody else feel like when/if Colorado and USC struggle this year the reality that Auburn is the best available option will become obvious to juju?

Auburn has a lot to prove on the field themselves.

This

Can say that for a few teams we are in battles with this year. As it seems always is the case with us recently, we absolutely need a strong showing on the field this year. Have to look very competitive to keep building momentum and add validity to what Freeze is selling.

Bama needs to show very little drop off. They still have the aura around them. if some concrete doubt that they won't be the same bama starts to show, you'll see some movement in their recruits.

As you mentioned, same with Colorado and USC. Lot of unknowns for everyone.

With NIL, just like in the NFL, college football is now all about the QB. If White is a long term project, we sign another long term project and have a long term project starting, it's hard to see Freeze succeeding here.

As long as we have a decent season (Winning record) our roster should be good enough now that we can go find a QB worth paying if we aren't confident if our guys. Shouldn't be much of an issue,

If we end up with KJ though, even though he's small, he also had a pretty solid elite 11 so its not like he's a scrub. He's just small.

Convince him he's the missing piece. Do you think kids that talented think they aren't difference makers and aren't program changers?

Freeze always has a few tricks up his sleeve.

We've been on the same wavelength lately corch

Have any of you watched these "a day in the life" videos on you tube. I watched the one with Perry Thompson. It is summer so no classes.

He spent two hours in the morning running routes. He then went to work out with weights.

He is coming back from lunch and Walker White sees him and says "did you get my message, Malcolm and I will come over later and bring the white board and go over what we did today."

He obviously had direction from the coaches to be certain the summer enrollees are in step with the guys who went through spring. Perry will play early.

If you watch his high school tape its obvious the coach has said screw the low percentage long balls (cause the QB is nothing to write home about) . Just throw him the ball at the iine of scrimmage and let him do the rest. A 220 pound guy, elusive with that much speed....is gonna make something happen.

Plus we have a fricking nutrition bar for athletes. Parent funded and provided. So you need to put on 10 pounds in the offseason. Come by get 2 protein shakes and a couple snack sized goldfish bags once or twice a day. In the season could have protein bars, meal replacements, almost any type of snack you could imagine from sugary to healthy. And that’s common for a lot of schools now

Imagine being that guy and his highly ranked partners coming Auburn to play with Payton Throne. For one year. Then, that program not having a big name/ talent guy to get you the ball on the second year. Nobody recruited.


Whats your plan in todays game?



I think it was very important that we brought someone in this year that was certainly the future. Someone that would get some reps, some practice with these guys. Most of those receivers are probably 3 year guys. your fist year is Throne. Seond year maybe a brand new shiny guys to start Third year?
