We don't have even close to the kind of money he's about to get. One of the Texas schools are about to get their new LT.

Not that I doubt Buster, but how can the new staff like him that much when they haven't even seen him practice? I could see him being good enough to be a starter, but thats also a big jump too.

Can someone please get Tim Cook and Jimmy Raine on the phone.

Why is money an issue for Auburn? We have successful alumni

This one I can't even put on Auburn. He's a top player and a crucial position. Oil money will be recruiting him and only a few schools are on that level.

They have access to the same HS tape and have practice tapes from summer/fall.

I bet Seaton ends up at Texas, Texas Tech, or Oregon.

I don’t normally hold hard feelings towards these kids transferring but F him. He can eat an extra large bag of dicks for the shite he talked about Auburn after he hit the portal.

I wish Malcom nothing but stone hands and failure. I’d be happy as a possum eating persimmons if he gets buried in the depth chart never took another snap of football.

I hope he chokes on the big ole bag of dicks while he is at it.

Seriously F that dude.

I don’t know about the RBs, but I’ve been watching Byrum Brown highlights and he will make you hAUrd seeing how he can run da bawl. During the Boise game, he had already plowed some of their DBs. Then on another run, he faked like he was going to bulldoze another, the kid hit the ground, and then Brown cut outside for a touchdown. Never seen that before.



Yea, when we hired Comrade Golesh, I honestly did not know a lot about him and how he ran his offense so I went and watched a lot of USF videos from 25 on Youtube and he is impressive. Good get in my opioion.


And I know we need them scat backs but we need a tough guy too.

For his offense to work we need D lineman to help get the other teams offense off the field. We also need OL in order to keep ours on the field

If Drago is serious about OL he will at least kick the tires try and get him on campus.

Auburn just saved $2 million when Deuce hit the road. Let’s ride!

Yeah we gotta pay up on someone besides brown. Especially for OL. Otherwise paying all that money for brown means nothing because he’s going to get mauled

That money has already been allocated.



Others on here think we have an endless pot of money. Here is an exercise for you, take 30 bucks out of your wallet, set aside about 5-10 in incentives & start allocating that 20-26 bucks out to players on the roster. You will quickly see that there isn't enough to sling money around. QBs & Linemen are costing a lot of money now. So are some WRs. We also now can have more people on scholarship but in some cases that is not enough anymore as some of these players can go down a level get a scholly, play & make some cash at least enough to buy a car.

From the numbers someone posted earlier, we paid Brown more than the entire QB room made combined last year.

I expect he probably gets a starting role next season.


It obviously happens occasionally but that's a hard ask for a true freshman.

ETA: Sorry, for some reason I lost a year. He'll be a sophomore.

More like time for the majority of institutions to sue the NCAA for allowing unrestricted free agency.

There is a a difference between allowing athletes to be paid and unfettered loss of control. In essence (and without a law degree) I’m thinking the institution itself can be charged with loss of institutional control just as the individual members of this organization can be sanctioned as being out of control.

To where? You think the 2 USF Olinemen cost that much? Because those are the only commits since Deuce left. I highly doubt that money has been used yet.
