I’m hearing a lot of chatter, from different places, that Deuce is joining Lane at LSU. Lane has sold him on the idea that he’ll have every opportunity to start and get paid like a starter

Well, every Auburn fan is going to need to understand that is a bygone era, and we will have to accept that the only uniform players are looking to wear are made with greenback material. Us loving Auburn is going to need to suffice from here on out. Not saying some won’t love Auburn but those expectations will leave you sad and frustrated.

Serious question I hope doesn’t get buried.
If you are a coach, and one of your guys enters the portal after you’ve already negotiated and offered him “fair value” in your eyes, do you still pursue him/allow him to come back? Even though he’s already walked once? Just curious everyone’s opinions.
For me, if a guy enters the portal, our time together is over. I’m not groveling for you to come back as tough as it may be. Just seems like a principle I’d like to stand on.

If I know that my offer was fair but a kid entered the portal in hopes for maybe a few more dollars, then no, I would not allow him back. In fact, I would probably delete his number and blacklist his "agent". Doing anything less is continuing the inmates running the asylum system.

If I’m a Coach, and a player enters the Portal, his scholarship is gone and so is his NIL. To me, it would be a clear sign that he’s not happy and wants to try greener pastures, and I would let him.

The big dogs are snickering at the reported $30MM budget for next year. Its been said that the average SEC roster this year was $20MM.
Im all for seeing how this shakes out because, as ive posted on this board, the portal cuts both ways. But, dammit, this does NOT create excitement for the new staff at Auburn.
This is my biggest concern is this turning Auburn into a losing team indefinitely. Im for NIL but limiting the portal to 1 time and sitting 1 year after at least 2 years at the school w/o a coaching change would stop the bidding war.
Im glad we are going up to 30m, but if other schools are just gonna a 1up AU then it doesnt matter. Someone with the checkbook to back it needs to decide if AU will go all out and be a top 10 team every year spending whatever it costs to have a loaded roster, or just quit adding to the shared collective and settle for the 8 win max season of 20m base roster. This kinda but not seriously spending in NIL is just a waste of money. I need to know how serious the boosters are about winning so I know how serious I need to be in supporting.

100% agree. Portal means we tried, now beat it. Cant just go after the pretty players, gotta juggle the roster. Wins are all that matter. We didn’t utilize these guys we paid for to win games. We fired the coach as we should, but it’s not always just the coach. Players don’t get raises with losing records. Guys that stay and do well next year should get good raises. It’s like business, if you win you get paid, if you don’t you can leave and hope for better…Cam Coleman was legit but I don’t know if he needs a raise from us.
