Once players excel or fall in P4 the HS recruiting ranking barely matters- if it even does at all. We might see some flyers on former 5*s that bounced around because of usually behavior problems but even then it's apparent they're no longer the 5 star caliber player anymore.

it's takes both. You need recruiting AND development. If you sign a class of 3* players in an elite conference like the SEC you'll (more times than not) fail. Texas A&M has as many 5* as anyone, but they scored 3 points today lol You cannot 3 star your way to a title and you can't just 5* star your way to a championship (without coaching). We all get this right?

"*Disclaimer**: I only know people who know people. Sometimes my info is days old. Don’t take what I say as gospel.

I can say from what I’ve been told that I’m near 100% certain that Byrum Brown will either be in the NFL or be the starting quarterback for Auburn come the start of the 2026 season. Brown has back channeled a deal to come here and it’s in place dependent upon what his draft projection looks like and any last minute offers from other schools. I don’t know the exact number but it’s believed that it’s not one that is breaking the bank.

So what does that mean for Deuce? It appears as though Golesh is willing to pay the NIL for Duece to sit and learn behind Brown for a year. Deuce may/will probably get higher number offers BUT the staff are showing him that they see him as a long term option and want to keep him here, and with a year of development in this system and watching Byrum Brown run it he can achieve huge things. They think Deuce sees this and is very accepting of this because he sees the investment that they are putting in him. It doesn’t mean he is staying here by any means but he is invested in what they are presenting to him and likes what he sees.

As far as Cam goes, he is looking at 2 things (that have already been reported by the writers here): NIL and who’s at QB. Cam loves Auburn. He has already developed a really good relationship with Golesh and Kodi. He has the offer Auburn has given him and he likes it, but he wants to know who is throwing him the ball. He has seen Byrum Brown’s tape and seen the numbers. He is excited for the potential opportunity to play with Brown. I’m not saying it’s all hinging on Brown coming, because he’s got reasons to stay and reasons to leave even if Brown does come. But I’m feeling good about this personally.

I don’t have anything else right now"

Good luck Stanford Cam

I hope its a sign Brown is coming. Golesh needs to show that his offense is going to work in the SEC, especially after the Freeze deception. Brown gives us the best chance to win next year and will also be better for Deuce as well. Not only will he get to learn the system without pressure for a season. He will learn it from pretty much the best mentor for the Golesh offense. Anyone thinking there will be a QB competition should take off the Auburn glasses. Brown will be the starter and add an additional 2 wins at least the second he arrives on campus. I think Deuce will buy into this, and giving him potential to be more successful in his time. I think this not only makes Auburn better next year, but will make us better the following 2 years as well

Wonder how much the prior drug arrests for Jay Crawford and Kayin Lee played into this. They were completely swept under the rug under Brother Hugh

We gonna swap rosters with UF.

I wonder if we are paying based on nfl draft position and everyone thinks they are 1st rounders

It’s interesting to me why fans are clamoring to players who contributed highly to several unsuccessful seasons
