Jay Crawford.. good enough for a playoff team to pay, but not us.

Wonder if they paid him the million that he asked for?

We are in no position to determine what is inflated and what isnt.

Whatever we were offering Cam and Deuce was inflated

Value is in the eye of the beholder

We’ll never know what’s really going on with this shite. Crawford is an important part of our defense. Did we not want him anymore? Did Ole Miss just pay more? Did he not care about money and wanted to go to a team already built for playoff runs? Did he have to see about a girl?

Fact is that one of our starters left to go to another SEC program.

If Golesh doesn’t fill that position with a similar quality or better player, then it’s a major loss for Auburn and a failure for Golesh.

I have faith in Durkin to evaluate another good player to replace -- the question is can we get his targets.

Cant find the NFL thread but Derrick Hall made Brock Purdy want to quit football on multiple occasions today

For every Xavier Atkins that we get there is likely a Keionte Scott leaving. Player evaluations has become more important than ever before. Im curious to see how HS recruiting for the good but not elite guys go next season now its apparent that money spent is as likely to be a waste as it is an investment

Seems like you are a little more tame now. Funny how everyone said to wait until the portal actually opened before freaking out.

No matter what anyone says I believe if we thought we were going to make a playoff run next year we would have kept him. Dont know why Ole Miss is paying for him they wont be close for a while.

What about if he genuinely wanted to go somewhere else? Sucks losing him but what do you do? Offer him more money, even though he truly wants to be somewhere else? I feel like if he didn’t want to be here, best of luck to him at Ole Miss

Well it helps when we are no longer bleeding out every single day for two weeks straight.

I know how the portal works. I said we will be one of the biggest losers snd biggest winners just in the high number of turnover.

Quality over quantity. We lost quality and quantity now we need to bring both in.

I think its more about money than Auburn. At least I hope so.

I saw he is visiting Texas Tech, which is a sign it could be about money as much or more than anything else. I’ve thought of him as a Texas lean and who knows

I don't think Crawford is visiting Texas Tech. he literally just committed to Ole Miss. I mean, i know that nothing is final until he's enrolled, but i don't think he'd commit to someone already and then keep taking visits. i don't think Ole Miss would look too kindly on that.

Texas Tech is spending money like everyone here wishes Auburn would.
