I think it’s going to end up being Thorne. Not any Inside knowledge or anything, just a gut feeling.

quote:
Wade was greeted by several coaches when he arrived on campus for his late-March visit to Auburn.
“Coach (Jake) Thornton, I believe the running backs coach (Cadillac Williams),” Wade said. “And when I walked into the building there were a lot of coaches there to greet me.”
quote:
Wade’s main guy is Auburn offensive line coach Jake Thornton.
“He’s pretty awesome,” Wade said. “He seems like a down-to-earth kind of person. He’s very honest with you. When I was in the offensive line room, he’s a quick teacher and gets right to the point.”
quote:
Thornton made sure to show Wade where he would fit on the Tigers’ offensive line.
“He did, he thinks I’m the kind of guy who could play all three positions if needed,” Wade said. “He sees me at a guard preferably.”

quote:
“Coach Thornton came up to one of our spring nights (practices) and we kept in contact for a week or two weeks after that,” he said. “Then he called me (Monday) and told me about the offer. I was surprised, to be honest.”
quote:
“It feels great to have my first Power 5/SEC offer,” he said. “It’s awesome.”
quote:
Baker already was familiar with Thornton from the coach’s time at Ole Miss, which has helped speed the process of building a relationship.
“We’ve been keeping in contact at least twice a week, so we can build the relationship up,” he said. “I think he’s a great coach, in my opinion. He’s one of the best coaches, even at Ole Miss. He was a great coach over there.”
quote:
“Me and Coach Thornton haven’t really talked about (position), but probably guard or center,” he said. “All the colleges I’ve talked to want me on the interior.”
quote:
“They are definitely high on my list,” he said. “They are definitely the team to beat, for sure. I grew up in a household that’s big Auburn fans. I’ve been towards Ole Miss and Auburn, which is how I know Coach Thornton because he was the Ole Miss o-line coach. He was a great coach over there, so I know he’ll be a great coach at Auburn.”
quote:
Thornton isn’t the only reason Auburn is at the top.
“The environment is great there,” he said. “The fans are always amazing. I went there for a game last year against Arkansas. The place is amazing. The environment is awesome. I’m going to try to get back there this summer and meet with Coach Thornton and Coach (Hugh) Freeze.”
quote:
As for a timeline for making a commitment, Baker isn’t limiting himself.
“I’m going to keep that open right now,” he said. “It could be whenever.”

Thorne would be worse than Thompson

I like that Thorne has 2 years. Bridges the gap to Walker White perfectly.

Jeremy Garrett will spend his birthday attending Jeremiah Beaman's spring game per Clemente
Auburn a candidate to land an OV:
quote:
"He said he was definitely going to come to my spring game because our spring game is on his birthday," Beaman told Auburn Undercover. "So he said he was going to choose me to come watch my game on his birthday. It means a lot. I’m definitely going to show up and show out."
quote:
"I love him," Beaman said. "We talk all the time. He’s a relationship I feel like I’ll always have with him. But the way we talk and when we talk, it’s not just one question, two questions, ‘What’s this? What’s that?’ Nah, it’s a genuine conversation and I enjoy that."
quote:
"Coach Freeze, that’s my guy," Beaman said. "He’s amazing, down-to-earth person. Every time I came down there he’s seen me, recognized me alone and in front of other people as well. I really enjoy that because a lot of people don’t get this opportunity to be recognized by a college head coach."
quote:
"I just got done training with my dog Jayson Jones," Beaman said. "We was training last night, a little D-line session. Jayson’s an amazing person, he’s so down to earth. Especially once he actually sit down and get a feel for you. He’ll talk to most people but he’s just a down-to-earth person."
Auburn a candidate to land an OV:
quote:
"They’re definitely a candidate to get an official visit from me," Beaman said. "The relationship I built with the people that are down there and the people that are around just the whole football area is just amazing. I would definitely want to do it down there."

quote:Solid. A couple of decent pass rushes and kept after plays when a receiver caught the ball downfield. Looking at his stats, it seems like he's a good pass rusher which we really need.
Someone posted on Reddit some good plays he made against TAMU last year
App state boards semi melting over it which is always a good sign.

. If Robby, Geriner, Brown, or White aren't ready next year then I would rather get another transfer. Someone a step above Thorne and Thompson and our roster would be in better shape to attract that player. Posted on 5/2/23 at 2:30 pm to jt33
