Asked about run blocking. He said lets face it, a lineman, there is nothing better than being up by 10 with 5 min to go and you walk up to the line of scrimmage, look across the line and think, you know we are gonna run, and I know you know we are gonna run, and Im still gonna plow your arse.


Run blocking is a lot more fun than pass blocking, I liked coming of the ball to deliver a hit when run blocking vs absorbing the hit pass blocking.

I failed to mention that I got to see Perry play a lot last year being my step son is a senior in the Foley band this year. Perry does stand out and puts up good numbers being the Foley QB isn’t much to write home about. I don’t know how much I will get to see Perry play this year being my oldest so is a 6’4” 220 pound sophomore that will probably be playing varsity this year at Robertsdale so I’ll be at his games. Friday nights are super busy for our house hold this time of the year.

Not subtle brag.

Too bad he has the white or you might have yourself a D1 player.

You mean next weekend? Yes. Getting two 5 star recruits to flip from two of the most dominant programs in college football today is a statement and that feeling isnt going away anytime soon

Dumb. The best player in college football is white. Brock Bowers.

Either you can play or you can’t has nothing to do with skin color.

KJ Bolden quotes via Pink:

quote:

“Yes sir, next Saturday, I’m excited,” Bolden said. “Actually he (Freeze) is the last person I am talking to. Sunday, he is the last person I am calling and then I am done talking to everybody until Saturday.”


quote:

“The visit was great, just got done meeting with Coach (Hugh) Freeze),” Bolden said. “He was just telling me how I can be a program changer and why not be different? Other schools are getting all of these big DB recruits right now and Auburn hasn’t gotten that one huge DB recruit that would take them over the board. He was like, why not come in and make history and be different than everybody else.”


quote:

“That pitch is crazy,” Bolden said. “Who wouldn’t want to go to a school and not want to be the man of a school. He was just telling me about how Auburn and all the fans and everyone in the building will buy into me. They would help me step by step if I came here on this journey. It would be great for sure.”


quote:

“Oh it does a lot,” Bolden said. “You know, Coach Freeze he had a class in like Ole Miss with Treadwell and Tunsil and all of them. He told me he is trying to do the same thing right now and bring in all these big guys. Being a part of a class like that would probably set it all off for sure.”


Most important factors:
quote:

“Playing scheme, how I fit in the scheme, playing time, NIL a little bit, how I fit into the program, the environment, who are my teammates I will be around everyday, and just to be coached by Coach E (Etheridge), one of my favorite coaches for sure. He will always keep it real with you. And who wouldn’t want to play for Coach Freeze? He is like a best friend sometimes. I won’t lie he is one of my favorite coaches I’ve ever talked to for sure.”


quote:

“It’s going crazy right now,” Bolden said. “They are trying to recruit me everyday, Demarcus (Riddick) and Perry (Thompson) are trying to recruit me everyday. Perry told me a while back he was going to flip, you know I couldn’t say anything. Just having all of those guys telling me how special this place is and how we can change everything in the SEC, it sounds like a great plan. Next week I just hope I make the right decision, I might be a Tiger.. War Eagle, I don’t know.”


quote:

“I won’t lie, this visit definitely raised Auburn a lot,” Bolden said. “I had an interview probably like 4 days ago and I had a school in my head, but now that I came down here, it kind of changed a little bit. Now I have to go home and think about it a little bit. The way Coach Freeze just gave me that great talk in the office, he definitely almost had me commit today. I have to weigh out my options for sure.”


quote:

“I’m going live on On3 at 7:30 ET, it will be like a little party,”

Reminds me of the argument back in time of when a QB had to be white because of intellectual reasons. Intellectual deficit reasoning.

Sounds like they are selling KJ Bolden on playing WR and Safety….. His highlights at WR are pretty nice.
