Auburn is obviously at a different stage right now than Ole Miss. Hugh has shown he wants to focus on HS recruting and hanging on to what is already here (I think that is going to pay off big in the future). Ole Miss us already got its roster in place and just needs a few pieces to move forward. Hugh came in to a complete rebuild two years after OM started and I think Hugh is just laying the foundation for a run at the big time in the next 2 years. I think he is focused on the right things right now for the long term.

If we can Jarquez to hold up on his porn career he will be very good for us.

He does but he is not clear in how to use the portal.

However, he feels there needs to be some calendar changes because everything is tied together and he says it’s almost impossible to handle high school recruiting, retaining your own players and the portal all clumped together.

If you look at Kiffin he does decent at HS recruiting but is damn good at portal recruiting.
My understanding is Ole Miss has an off-field position that's effectively the football "general manager". Rather than being a direct evaluator, he basically stays on top of portal stuff, NIL going rates and evolution, etc. and feeds everything to the staff to make sure they're on top of every guy the moment he hits the portal (or before). Also helps balance the budget to make sure NIL is being used in the right spots etc...

Think every team will end up with one as transfer portal and NIL evolve.

He looked so disappointed, and this was an amazing class. I’ve been dreaming all my life to have a relentless recruiter at HC. We have one now.

Almost like a Twilight Zone episode to come to an Auburn Sports forum on recruiting day and see positivity across the board.

Of course they are at a different stage right now. Yes, that is what he was always wanting to focus on is building through HS. However, he will learn to balance it out and I assume it will be quickly. I was just responding that although yes he knows how to recruit he felt portal recruiting is something he is learning about on the fly.

Yep, I believe Hugh has one. I was just sharing what Hugh said himself that he is learning about the portal recruiting on the fly. He realizes that his need for relationship building will need to happen after signing portal transfers.

I believe that is uncomfortable for him.

Maybe... but has he been doing it all day? My guess would be it's one of the 3 guys we're still trying to flip.
