Thats a huge ask. You never know how all of these new pieces are going to fit together

That new WR coach is not to shabby is he? He is after one more and not giving up. If he pulls the second one in as well.... it will be on!
Relentless recruiting.

Possibly but wouldn’t count on it. We have brought in some really good players but we have holes. Lack depth. And not sure about our front 7 stopping the run and/or rushing the passer.

No prediction yet but I could see 8-4 easily. But still lean 7-5 at this current time. However wouldn’t say 9-3 is out of the realm of possibility either.

Keep recruiting. Hold serve until 2025 and see where we are. Harsin crippled our roster.

Any LBs out there?

Could we see more blitzes to try for negative plays?

I’d rather see guys going full bore than guys kind of unsure where to go.

I wish we had the 1985 Bears out there on defense, but it is what it is.

Yes both the DC and the DL coaches are big on negative plays. Just don’t see the explosive talent on the roster right now. DL has to be a big need over this cycle and next cycle. Layered depth. I think we have solid run stoppers if the linebackers fill properly.

Sounds like Shorter had a great visit and we are in the drivers seat. For me he is the top Dog. Others may disagree but his speed, frame, hands puts him as a huge want.

Craig from Colorado would be a possibility if we don’t land Shorter. I’m much higher on Shorter

Damari Alston tweeted out that Keon Coleman made it to Auburn tonight. If so it will be interesting to follow and see if anything comes of it.

Unless Damari confirmed he's referring to Coleman then it's just speculation by on3 posters. The only thing Damari tweeted was he heard that somebody made it to Auburn. The Coleman thing is nothing but on3 posters speculating.

Jay.dsgns ( he makes commitment images for recruits) said he's heard from people who would know that it's Coleman, and Fredrick90 asked who other than people in the thread and Jay told him to dm him. So who knows.

As of right now it's just speculation that it's Coleman, it could just as well be about Burton or Thorne

Edit: Damari deleted the tweet so that's leading to more speculation that it's Coleman he was referring to.

Auburn is 6.5 wins per Vegas. I would bet the over.

I’m pretty solid on 7 wins so I would take the over as well. I wouldn’t bet on Auburn ever because to much heart in it

It was Coleman who I was referring to last night that Marcus Davis was a stud recruiter.
Coleman wants to much $$$ and has to come off some for Auburn to take him. Shorter is just as good and cheaper from what I gather.

Probably a big reach but given the uncertainty of other teams in the West, I guess it's possible. But we're counting on a lot of plugs to work and work at a high level when it's a certainty some will not.

I had a small betting account heading into the 2010 season. Once we were 6-0 and it seemed like we'd be really good, I emotionally hedged every game on the moneyline - betting against Auburn. Put the remaining funds on Oregon in the title. Some of the best money I ever spent.

Freeze is making nice moves but he needs an influx of talent x2 or 3 more classes before I start thinking about contending.

We have to figure out what our chemistry is like, who will be our studs and who sucks from a brand new team. 8 is ceiling 5 is the floor.

Right now I will be happy with knowing we can be competitive on the road, and with our biggest rivals. Going into those games not knowing before kickoff it will be a loss would be a refreshing change. Contending again on a yearly basis is probably a couple of years away, like you've said

According to Jason Caldwell, Coleman was interviewed by the FSU 247 site this morning when his visit ended. if true it couldn't have been him

Jang, Robbie was floor last year with a lot of turmoil around the team and a terrible OL…hard to believe, with the current upgrades and an easier schedule that our floor isn’t 6-7 wins and an 8-10 clg.

I believe the extent of Robbie’s performance was the floor last year. But he might not even start next year.Fact is we basically got brand new OL. Last years OL was fullOf 5th year seniors. We also have brand new shot callers. Brand new a lot of shite.

We are giddy for the revival but 10 Isn’t happening. 9 isn’t either.

Yeah, Damari was either trolling or referring to someone else like Thorne or Burton maybe.
