Wiltfong makes it seems like 5* OT Andrew Babalola is down to Auburn and Stanford. Didn’t dismiss Michigan and Oklahoma, but it sounds like Auburn is in a great spot

In a perfect world we’d take a couple of those a year until we found one but that seems impossible now

Walker White and Juju would be outstanding if we can pull it

Sounds very promising on Babalola, wow what an OL class this could be.

Between us and Stanford I love our chances. If we get this kid to Big Cat watch out.

I honestly believe if we land JuJu, we will win the championship with him at the helm

Please Lord make this happen

I think Juju as well as Walker are the extremely talented and can win games for Auburn. I said games.

Championships are won at the line of scrimmage. You don’t have to have 5 stars at every position but you must have layered depth on the lines of scrimmage. Talent, Depth, Development. That’s where we are now.

I think we will have a really good team in ‘25 but our run really starts in ‘26 and ‘27.

We must use patience I know that’s a lot to ask but let Freeze cook.

Good discussion last night with JLee and the fellas. Perry Thompson posted a workout video.

You remember he started this whole "flip the script" at Big Cat last year. He is chomping at the bit to get on campus and get going (I think he arrives in a week or so). Probably tired of hearing about the future hall of famer on campus now.

Im sure the coaches have given him parts of playbook, films to study, etc.

Physical part will not be an issue, I refer to that pic a year ago at Big Cat with he and Demarcus bareback with their arms around one another, if you did not know them you would not know who was the LB and who the wide receiver....and that was a year ago. :

He will have a few months to get timing down with qbs, get in the film room to study with the qbs and get on the same page reading coverages. With the weak schedule the first four games he will have plenty of chances to play early and get his freshman mistakes out of the way.

As Freeze says, with Perry Thompson there are no 50/50 balls more like 70/30.

Perry is fixin to eat, and eat large with all that lunch money he will be taking on Saturdays

Buddy of mine was the chaperone for Ousmane this weekend. Said they were blown away by the visit. Our RB coach did a damn good job of selling the program to him. I think it’s between us and FSU personally. I dont know how hard UGA is pursuing him and they have a loaded backfield

Auburn made 4* WR Travis Smith's Final 4 along with Bama, UGA, and Tennessee. He'll commit July 13. He'll OV here June 7-9

Ousmane has some very good hands, he had over 500 yards receiving last season. They used him split out, many of his receptions were downfield not just screens with 50 yard runs. He also has one fade in the endzone none of our receivers from last year could have caught. In a Freeze offense he would be a great fit.

By the way, I find it interesting that ole Alvin suddenly shows up the same weekend. Could he be getting a wee bit concerned with the plethora of RBs we have offered, and those we are courting since he announced for Penn State? Boy needs to stop visiting us and spend some time shopping for winter coats.

Travis Smith and CJ Wiley both ga leans?
Dallas Wilson out of Tampa but now committed to Oregon

They have the top two cornerbacks in the country committed, I dont blame him for looking around, he would be a good catch.
