Probably package deal. We are moving up to 105 possible schollya afterall.

Bama fan I talk to say they really want Fegans but if my source is correct Fegans loves our staff.

Walker White sounds like a bad guy from a James Bond movie.

We need a Knight to help us find the Holy Grail. Choose wisely.

I remember Auburn offering Eric Smith to get his highly ranked brother. His brother went to uat, and he didn’t do jack shite. Meanwhile, Eric was a pivotal player in that 2010 offense. Funny how life works out sometimes.

Not guaranteed, but definitely possible. I've read it could be 95, 105, etc

I do wonder how Hugh Freeze would approach that kind of increase.

Peter Smith, LB, Under Armour All American. He ended up leaving Alabama and going JUCO. I think Eric Smith was c/o 2008 while Petey was c/o 2009, though. And although he didn't work out, I firmly believe Alabama took guys like him and Corey Grant to keep them away from Auburn early on.

He was a solid 6', 250 pounds at Alabama so he was likely stiff like Jeff Luc coming out of HS.

ETA: Does anyone know where he went after Holmes CC? I can't find anything, anywhere.

Im no expert on this 105 pending ruling but I thought it would be an increase of 20 schollys, 20 extra bodies.

Then I heard Alan Head talking about it and he said....not so fast. Part of the reason is to clear the muddy water. No more walkons or practice squad non scholly players. No preferred walk ons. No giving of NIL in lieu of a scholly because you are over the 85 limit and just want to ice a player til you need him.

Our roster has 121 players on it currently. And Im certain a lot of those walk ons are favors for high school coaches etc.

Back to more specifics of recruiting:

Where are we in our recruiting of a media personality?

Running with Reid is a junior. He will graduate after one more season.

Is the staff planning for this change? Is it possible that Reid could go pro early? Then where would we be? No media interviews and shorts??

Do we need to look at the portal or try to find a really gifted high school guy that can hang around 3-4 years?

My man Smuphy,

Nigerian bookends Babalola and Edwin, got a ring to it.

Fong was definitely leaning that way in the last podcast, he said Auburn is the hottest school on the recruiting circuit right now. Sounds like he is eating what you are cooking regarding September
