Other teams aren't majority freshmen and portal guys, no. Without spending hours scouring the rosters I'd bet money cal, Arkansas, nmsu, and Maryland were majority developed high school recruits .
You are talking out of your arse.
Cal brought in 24 players through the transfer portal in the 2024 class. Arkansas brought in 20 players. Auburn brought in 15.
Auburn's 15 transfers brought in isn't even noteworthy in the SEC. We were basically right in the middle of the pack:
Texas A&M: 27
Ole Miss: 26
Vanderbilt: 22
South Carolina: 21
Arkansas: 20
Miss State: 19
Missouri: 15
Auburn: 15
Oklahoma: 15
Alabama: 14
Florida: 13
Kentucky: 12
Texas: 11
Tennessee: 10
LSU: 9
Georgia: 9
So Texas A&M has a 1st year HC, brought in 27 transfers, LOST 29 players off their roster through the portal, and they are sitting at 4-1 with a victory over Arkansas (who we lost to). Explain that one to me.
By the way, in the 2023 class Auburn brought in 20 transfers, Arkansas brought in 19, and Cal brought in 18. So over a two-year span since Freeze has been here, the totals are as such:
Cal: 42 transfers brought in
Arkansas: 39 transfers brought in
Auburn: 35 transfers brought in
So as you can see, both Cal and Arkansas are very much NOT built through "developed high school recruits" as you claimed.
Before you lie some more - Auburn isn't even special in how many true freshmen are playing. The game-winning interception in the UGA/Bama game was made by a true freshman corner. We all obviously know who Ryan Williams is. Cam Coleman is the only player on offense who plays "starter" snaps. There are a handful of true freshmen on defense playing significant snaps, but hardly anything crazy. The vast majority of Auburn's starters are Seniors.

I said in the beginning this 3yr plan bs was all for Freeze to buy himself time. We should be undefeated but we’re 2-3 because we aren’t prepared. The fumbles and pics are all habits formed n practice

Easy.
THEY HAVE BETTER QBS. THEY ALL HAVE BETTER QBS.
A&M already had a better roster. But they're not worldbeaters. Arkansas turned us over 5 times. Same with Cal. If we only have 2 turnovers and not 5, we beat both those teams.

Kaleb Harris, Jay Crawford, Malik Blocton, Amaris Williams, Jamonte Waller, Demarcus Riddick. That's 6 without thinking hard. And that number will probably grow as the season goes on.
See, comparing Auburn's freshmen to Alabama's is kinda stupid because of the guys playing with/around them. Ryan Williams is catching passes from Milroe and he's the best WR on that team already. Cam Coleman is catching passes from Payton Thorne, but KLS is the best WR on this team.
Same with the DB at Bama, dude was getting torched until that last play. There's a reason Georgia went on a 34-5 run. Bama's D is suspect.
