Said literally everyone.

Jay G Tate, Bryan Matthews, Phillip Marshall, Jeff Lee, anyone that reports for a local newspaper, that fat-arse that left to report on Oregon. Now Justin Hokanson too, apparently. All have been routinely described as the worst thing to ever hit the internet.

Seriously, who is your "honest and trusted" Auburn reporter? The only one I can see as fitting that archetype is one of the two dudes from the old Scout site (Caldwell or Murphy - forget which one) but I'm convinced it's because they're mute and never really say anything, so it's like winning a prize by default.

Ahh yes….everyone

Do you have an answer for me? I literally just gave you the list.

And the ones he has played have been pretty damn good which leads me to believe he’s all for playing freshmen if they can actually contribute right away.

I mean.. Other than Hunter, off the top of my head,I can't think of anyone else we really contributed as a freshman. Meanwhile we didn't use the 4 game redshirt hardly at all. Never saw Lee Hunter, Brooks, Robinson etc.

Grayson. McCall. Get him a NIL deal paying his six figures. Create a charity that pays him to make commercials for aunetwork. Maybe he can rebuild the yellawood wall that pat dye had in Jordan Hare's endzone.

Landen King started getting meaningful snaps later in the year too, and that was at likely our deepest/strongest position group. Not many but flies directly in the face of the “Harsin won’t play freshmen” narrative.

---

He played in like 2 games and contributed in 1. He was playing WR too, which is arguably our least deep position (OL too).

I get it.. Yall think every player that transfers out is horrible and shouldn't even bother playing football. Might as well just retire now.

Yet they trotted Kaufman and Knighten out there every game

Yes...because they are better players, did you consider that LMAO? This "big loss" of yours is a fricking 170 pound safety. 170 pounds. He's leaving because he's not in line for playing time. 5'11 170 pounds LOL. The takeaway here is that maybe you should leave the player evaluation up to the professionals.

Yeah no shite meta.. thats why he redshirted, so that he could gain weight and strength. You think he would have been the same weight next year? Kaufman and Knighten sucked, period. I'm not saying Harvey should have played over them last year though.. I'm saying he wasn't processed, because if he was then they would be too.

Like I said though, I get it. Everyone who transfers out is horrible and shouldn't even be playing football. I'm sure one of the better S recruits in the country just completely forgot how to play football.

I like Caldwell and Murphy but they really don’t produce near what other writers do. Caldwell is just now getting back into recruiting updates with Keith gone on “vacation” and Murphy does some live game threads. Hoke has always seemed solid though, with Keith leaving there’s not really a great reporter left on the AU beat.

Ron deleted some of my posts when I said that I can write opinion pieces with no insight like Phillip if he wants me to.
