What are you talking about? They have signed two top ranked OT's. The USF guys were coming regardless, and by the way: the Center (Cole Best) is actually ranked even higher than the Tegra Tshabola kid on the IOL rankings.

If you look at the comments, that graphic is misleading in what its ranking.

Basically ranking how our season went. Nothing to do with the portal.

Maybe? But I don’t think that’s it.

I think Ramil and the JMU tackles are good gets. Would love to see a few more P4 bodies there, for sure.

Seems the focus of this class was to import the USF offense, and I don’t think that was a bad choice coming off last season. They’re gambling a little that investing in skill positions will get us some momentum in year 1, and we’ll see how that works out. I know they think highly of Jacobe Ward and Ellis, so hopefully we can get a couple more dudes there and call it a day

Even after the portal closes players in the portal remain available. So maybe we can pick from the scrubs but they will not be able to participate 8n Spring since they’ll miss the registration window for classes. But still we can get some warm bodies to fill out the roster. We should want 15-16 OL and with Skinner we are now at 11. So gotta get more than 1 or 2.

Well damn.

We just freed up more NIL though!


Waiting for ghosts response. Seemed to be the one he was hinting at for a week now.

Ramil is #9, Simmons is #16. They are clearly both top ranked players. Both of them are ranked considerably higher than guys you are slobbing over like Bo Hughley.

Let me guess, only the "TOP 10" matters now LOL? As if there is some arbitrary cutoff where every player after "Top 10" is garbage.

This is OL recruiting btw; the most poorly evaluated position on the entire field.

They likely way over paid for him because they're desperate. I think i saw someone say a few days ago that they had almost like, no WR's on the roster left other than "Nail Polish Dude" as Dapprich likes to call him and one other guy.

I know I posted right after you, but that wasn't aimed at you. I was typing it up as you posted and didn't see it until after.

I like those guys, but they also have some question marks. Ramil wasn't very good his freshman year. Last it he was looking better, but then got hurt. How is is coming back from injury and how far along he is development wise now? Also no competition behind him to push him.

Simmons was a good player for JMU, but he's also taking a big step up in competition now.. there's no guarantee's there and again, there's no one behind him to push him.

Both guard spots are looking weak and C is a big question mark.

I've been pretty fair and given credit for the things I think have been good.. Brown, The WRs, the RBs. Even though I'm not sold on Jordan being CB1 I still think him and Arnoux are good adds. I like the Arky State DT. But I can also be fair and say portal OT recruiting has been fine, not great and the interior recruiting has been poor. DE recruiting is also going bad up to this point. There's maybe still time to fix those things, but until they are, then they are problems.

You mean a guy that was a proven starter in the SEC on the team that won the SEC? Your takes are dumb dude. You want Auburn to go cheap on every position. Is there any position you’d be ok with them spending money on? I bet you loved the Haskins recruiting days when you could sleep well knowing very little money was spent.
