JLee posted that this was an Auburn decision because Kamba didn't pass the mid season eval and was told to start looking elsewhere

Yeah, ON3 said this staff does a mid year review and start looking at a few guys to leave. We should be on a few new guys too

After looking at some other podcasts, what I could glean, guys we are still looking at:

Jatori Williams IOL
Daveon Belhomme CB
Travon Hill WR to replace sedreck simmons in a slot role

Kamba will not be replaced in high school sounds like we are definitely going to the portal for some DL help.

Sounds like we are much better prepared for this portal, we just did not have the time last year. See our weaknesses, monitoring coaching carousel, and the players we would like to have to fit holes.

Course the one big question will be QB.

Im just an old fella down here listening to podcasts, when two or three say the same thing...it must be close to the truth.

I dont think anyone outside the staff knows about QB yet, inside or outside the current roster.

The ones remaining for 27 class.

Jatori Williams was committed to bama, then Miami, and now a heavy lean to us, but still taking official visits. He is one of the top 10 IOL in the country and it sounds like he wants to play close to home, course georgia aint that far away so who knows.

Daveon Belhomme USF crew recruited him when they were there. He has just exploded his senior year. He plays at a small school but I dont know why teams would even throw his way, has picks, breakups, a pick six, great returns, and a lot of catches on offense. Us and Notre Dame.

Tra Von Hall is just a 3 star but is committed to Ole Miss has offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Alabama, and Florida. Sounds like the coaches really like him for a slot receiver.

It also sounds like we are keeping the powder dry for the portal.

Oduor with two TD catches in the first half against the two-time defending 6A state champs here in TN.

they bumped him up to a low 4* and it's still not enough. He might have been the biggest win we had in recruiting not on the Oline.

Updates from JLee recruiting show.

Same three we are still pursuing.

Jatori Williams IOL about 60% us but looks like us and Georgia now,

Trevon Branch WR gonna be a tough pull from Ole Miss.

Daveon Bellhomme corner. Sounds like they think this guy could contribute first year. He has exploded his senior year lots pursuing him, between us and Notre Dame. Coaches have been on this kid since he was a freshman in high school.

Also still courting Junior Tuupo safety and he keeps visiting committed to Texas.

Couple that are kind of iffy. Wiggins is considering SC. Love to keep him the offer is what it is. He is from SC.

James Branch, sounds like the same offer is what it is.

Nasir Banks sounds like we are asking him to look around.

Portal going to have to have to get a couple of corners, some DL and OL. Didnt discuss QB cause they were discussing mostly the 27 high school class.

From what I have heard we will Portal a QB but don't expect to spend 3-4 mill on one.

The staff does think Tia can play but want to bring one in regardless. Would like someone who has 2 years at least.

Thanks smuphy.

Im hoping that Tia gets to play a little more these next few games so he gets the experience and they have a better idea of what he can do.

Then they will know how to proceed.

Spend the money on the OL/DL and a couple of corners.

Do you like our defense that you cheerleaded for?

Too bad you're hiding all the way in Trinidad. I got some golden retrievers to put on you.

Having zero high school CB in our class when our entire secondary sucks would certainly be a choice.

Then we’ll be looking for a new coach soon.

This is the same mistake Hugh Freeze made. Had a chance to get Cam Ward for $1m and decided to run it back with Payton Thorne.

Tia isn’t the answer, and if you think the solution is rolling with him and bringing in someone for “competition” then good riddance.

I admit I am humbled by my expectations of our defense.

But I must say the two island yard dogs my wife has guarding the house would send your goldens retrieving their testicles.

Now if our OL and DL had the same intestinal fortitude we might just go 4 and 0 to finish this season out.

Hope springs eternal, unfortunately I am disappointed frequently with the product we put on the field.

They are associated with you. That sounds hopeful at best.

Too funny.

Well friend, hopefully the next few weeks we dont have to be on edge wondering when we are gonna screw up and can just enjoy a win.

On recruiting, we have a heck of a haul on OL/DL if we got Jatori that would be an outstanding OL haul.

I've heard we're going to be between 1.7-2.5 for a qb. Not bringing in someone to compete with Tia, but a true starter, rest of the money will be going to upgrading oline and WR on offense.

I expect a few transfers on offense (Alvin Henderson) he's making a pretty penny and has produced next to nothing since being here.

That’ll be a good loss. I don’t think he’s even come close to important playtime. Unfortunate.

Smuphy,

Thats exactly where we should spend the money.

For high school I hope we are signing multiyear deals for these OL so they can develop together. Building an OL out of the portal, a necessity for next year, but we all see the results this year.

And it sounds like we have a much better understanding of where we are and what we need, and who we want this portal go around.
