Isn't that exactly what you're doing when talking about Riley's past success with qb's?

---

Yes. Accurate. it is.

But by using that logic, I can say that Freeze recently lost to NMS and gave up the worst Iron Bowl loss in our history. All in his first year. Which are not unusual for him and his past

So Id rather just hope that he is going to be better at coaching and we will see if this young QB comes based on how much he loves the atmosphere at Auburn and the possibility of some great receivers. Im not going to cast any of the in stone until they perform on the field.


Lincoln is known as a great QB coach and has multiple history to prove it. I not sure Freeze has that same reputation with receivers. Yes he had some great ones for a period at Ole Miss but Im not sure its something he carries with him with most people

I honestly dont know what I would do or try to convince my kid to do if he were in the JuJu situation. It would be a tough call

As a side note regarding fan support and overall enthusiasm, their home games are in the Coliseum, in the middle of the second largest metro area in the US, and they draw an average of 66K fans for home games. Quite the game experience to play in that mammoth facility with that crowd, akin to a wnba game sans Caitlin Clark.

Yea, it's a crap area. No doubt. Id hate to live there. My right winged arse would not survive.

wait til they start hosting powerhouse programs like Indiana and Rutgers

And he also has a great history of going 8-4 with great QBs and crappy defenses - which Jujus camp have explicitly said were important factors.

I think Riley vs Freeze is pretty much a wash for Juju. Comes down to roster, NIL and playing time in my book.

USC just lost another of their 5* Georgia Kids. Justus Terry decommitted this morning.

Lost two 5*DL in as many days. Right after Juju's dad talked about how important it is for them to be on a team with a good defense.. I don't think that's a coincidence. I think he knew the decommits we're coming.

I'm hoping Lewis' camp has some attachment to Carrolton, because if they do then Auburn is the obvious choice. If they don't, then I'm sure they will move wherever JuJu goes and "house sit".

---

Not about Carrolton specifically, but Juju himself said he's a small town guy. He doesn't really like big cities.

Why not take 2?

Manchester is a hop skip and jump from Auburn.

Kirby is not going to sit on his arse letting two instate top 10 DL go somewhere else. If I have to guess, they went to USC just to up their bag.

Manchester

Shot a huge buck out there back 30 years ago. Good deer hunting out there...

Kirby has a built a DL pipeline to the NFL and these top ten players will take their chances in beating out the competition there. I just hope we are super competitive this season and even if we don’t win, everyone from the coaches down to the ball boys play with their hair on fire from the first snap to the last. We have to go from players emotionally wanting to come here to play for AU to it being a business decision to come here.
