This is true. All potential no production. We’ve been there done that

So was Amaris by that logic then correct?

Ive treated myself to a pair of slip on sketchers and it's really one of best decisions I have made since Thanksgiving. Comfortable. So comfortable they make the rest seem not as comfortable.

Amaris was only in his 2nd year and behind Faulk and still has had more production.

did the math, that would mean at least one great grandparent was right at 100%

that would possibly explain my natural soulfulness

Cignetti says to hell with your definition of talent.

Now will we go 11-1 year one like he did? Probably not. I think the defense probably takes a step back..... unless the sophomores really frick some shite up next year and you cant tell me they won't rn.

And hot take im sure but I think he honestly got enough experience on the o line (still not sold on Ramil but Strand and Lehrer will get their shot) to put a damn good offense together.

AG'S goal of proof of concept year one is absolutely within reach. And then you start turning the heads of the big time guys and boosters get less stingy with their money.

The portal class might not have been the flashiest but there's plenty of room for optimism here boys.

Both have the skill set to be successful, and I actually think Amaris has the (potential) to break out, but I also see no reason why Womack can't have a similar ascension a year later.

Skechers Slip Ons are game changers. I wish they were around long ago when I was in my 30's. I have two pair. I hate tying shoes now.

Wtf is wrong with noticing parallels between what we're doing and what the best coach in the game is doing rn jang?

This hopeless pessimism is such a fricking drag. Some of us choose to have some fun with the things we're interested in.

Wtf does Cig have to do with some "i think i can i think i can" anyways? He has IU running like a Chinese bullet train.

Before long we are all going to be the guys that meet at Chick Fil A, buy 1 senior coffee, then drink 4 hours of refills while we solve all the world's problems

What exactly are the parallels that intertwine us with Cignetti? We use the transfer portal? Whoop de Doo

They had virtually the same production, and Womack was also playing behind Princewill Umanmielen who had 9 sacks last season, so what is your point? Bringing up Faulk is comical considering that Faulk was a swiss-army knife who at times would line up at DT. Amaris Williams and Faulk were not competing for playing time or production.

Look guys, you can't have it both ways. I heard repeatedly that it is supposedly a travesty that Auburn has lost multiple players who in actuality had little to no production because they ranked high out of HS or in the current portal ranking, but then at the same time when Auburn brings in similar players from other programs who rank high based on perceived "talent" you pretend like now all of a sudden their lack of production makes them trivial? If production is the only thing that matters, then Auburn has lost little from last year's roster.

By your own logic, losing Cam Coleman and his middling 700 yards of production isn't even a big deal. Who cares about his "talent"? Look at his production, or lack thereof.

Auburn wasn't the only team with allegedly talented players who for whatever reason didn't meet production, so its comical to talk out of both sides of your mouth. The amount of selective reasoning being applied is ridiculous. Losing Amaris Williams is huge! He is talented! But acquiring Womack is mid! He doesn't have elite production!
