His Rivals (On3) industry ranking still makes no sense to me.

Rivals ranking has him as a 4*, 247 has him as a high 3*. The 247 composite has him as a 4*, but the Rivals industry ranking has him as a low 3*, all the way down to 874 overall

I can’t make sense of the rankings anymore.

I just look at the offers and go from there now.

I just go with my favorite method that i've used for years, whoever has him rated highest is correct and a bonus half a star if they have a cool name.

Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, and the list goes on.

Good pickup.

Yep. He’s a good playa. Glad we actually landed a legacy type player.

The arrests and sweeping of such under a rug shall continue until further notice.

I am starting to think the inmate roster was just getting current after he posted bail

Auburn issued a statement acknowledging the arrest. If they’re sweeping under the rug they’re pretty bad at it.

Since this is the recruiting thread the staff expect at least 3 more commits before the season. Those 3 should be big commits.

Im not even worried. So many big names will be moving late. We can just wait and drop bags with Thanksgiving turkey's

Yea, one thing I posted in the Cohen thread was basically that. I really don't care about getting into a bidding war in July. If and when there is more clarity around the NIL stuff, we have a plan in place to act accordingly in either situation. Trying to be final number instead of the first number isn't a bad strategy.

We are targeting a soft number around 18. So we would have sign some very elite players to get to Top 8ish.

Freeze and Company know we have some sophomores that will want a bump in pay at the end of the. That’s why he’s been preaching “roster retention” so much the last month.

This strategy of 2 big money classes as like the last 2 then a more budget friendly class like the current one might be the way to build and hold a roster. Who knows but if the financial stuff changes from the letter of the law then Auburn will quickly pivot.
