re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders

You are right about CHF. He has been focus on recruiting more than any head coach this time of the year. I think he would have made the 1 QB call earlier if not for the focus on recruiting .

Part of Tuberville’s undoing on the trail was the onslaught of non qualifiers toward the end

I know this is second hand info, but a roommate of mine at the time was good friends with a trainer for the team under Tuberville and he said he basically just stopped trying toward the end. There were days that he had to be reminded of players names, if that tells you anything. Take it fwiw.

Dukes made the observation about the 2025 class that Auburn could get every player they wanted and it still might be the number 7 class if our staff's evaluations don't line up with the recruiting services. He was justifying why next year's class may not be top 5, and I thought it was a good point.

That's how we should judge this class: did Hugh get who he wanted, or did he have to go plan B at some positions (and how good is plan B)? If the class goes like some projections have it, then there are only a couple of players that we really wanted and didn't get.

I am confused about what Freeze really wants at corner back. Are Amon Lane and Jalyn Crawford our top choices, and do they see Solomon (assuming he flips back to us) as a corner or a safety. They haven't publicly brought anyone else in, so I have to believe these guys are plan A.

I stumbled upon an Eziomume tweet "I just want to take care of my mom..." And there is a comment below that about him taking Clemson out of his bio. The On3 guys don't talk about him much so I thought the ship had sailed, but it appears something is happening. Might be a different team.

Latest is that Eziomume is maybe the only possible guy at this point. They mentioned that in the last pod. Sounds like Riley will go somewhere else if it’s not Miami but they don’t think it’s Auburn

Hope we gave Eziomume the bag. I like him if we can get him. Not a big deal either way

Tubs had two classes like that and neither were really his fault. One was after jetgate and the other was Sabans first year and nobody saw that coming to the extent it did

I like Kayin Lee. Don’t really know what’s the deal with Rhym. Colton Hood, Tyler Scott, JC Hart are too young to have a read on them yet.

I agree. We took a lot of dudes last year, but who knows if any of them are good. Hood is the only name I've heard mentioned, and he's at safety.

He had one class that was exceptionally bad because he got lazy and depended on his connections and ability to develop a bit too much. When tubbs was focused he could recruit with the best of them though.

I remember being pretty excited when he flipped to us from LSU. He has the potential to be solid. Played very well at a top GA football school in Valdosta. The knock on him out of HS were questions about strength and top end speed. He has good size from what I remember (6'1-2" and about 170-180 I think).

I checked his stats and he has appeared in only 3 games this year: Samford, A&M, and LSU. I think the Aggy and LSU games he was needed because of injuries. He has 1 INT against Samford and 6 total tackles across those 3 games. This website says he played in all 12 games last season with 1 start and 14 total tackles.

IDK, maybe he finally puts it all together and breaks out next year. But I agree with yall that we don't really know a whole lot about the quality of the depth at CB right now. Kinda scary.
