Eh, it still means something. If nothing else, we probably lost some information on who a recruits influential people probably were, who the go through’s are, etc. that takes time again to figure out and at a time where the portal was moving fast, can get you out of things quickly, no matter the money, considering we realistically aren’t going to be the top spender most of the time.

You’re right though that money dominates most of that now, but you still get put behind the right ball when you lose your communication network. Though as Smuphy said, that 5-6 year figure is probably being very overdramatic by that person ultimately.

Will there be a portal draft at some point?

I mean, this seems rather rich coming from someone insisting that the GM isn’t using the recruiting software provided by the university to assure that all coaches have easy access information they need to successfully recruit players.

Instead, he’s hand-writing his super secret info out on yellow legal pads before every visit, phone call or text a coach makes. Making it impossible for any coach or other recruiter to contact a recruit without him. The stupidest and most inefficient process possible. I know it’s Auburn and Hugh Freeze but damn, if that’s true, fire every single athletic department employee that ever had anything to do with the football program. Even the guys that clean the bathrooms or sell boiled peanuts should know that’s dumb as frick.

I believe and know about as much as you do. Thanks for sharing. I feel better now.

so you think the GM will give access, on his evaluations, to any employee of the athletic dept. by putting his evaluations for all eyes to see?

IF he had taken anything he wasn't supposed to take, Auburn would have sued him. AGAIN, he took HIS evaluations. He left what his staff compiled.

Do you think, in the NFL, every employee in the front office has access on player evaluations done by the GM..............or maybe it's just the HC?

I can see it.

Except instead of teams on the clock to pick players, it’s players on the clock to pick teams.

And the players can go back to the podium at any time to switch their pick.

No, not what I said or implied at all. Anyone with recruitment duties would have access. They need to have access to properly do their job of reaching out and recruiting players.

This is exactly the opposite of what I am arguing. He left everything. The excuse that he didn’t is bunk and someone is bullshitting to cover for AG just importing USF to Auburn. Granted, I do think AG was in a tough spot but should have known that a lot of those players weren’t going to translate to the SEC.

I think coaches and the GM have access to draft and free agent evals to weigh in on how to build the team. Different flavor of the college setup. In either circumstance, those evals aren’t just living on one person’s laptop. They are shared with limited, appropriate staff so they can recruit players and be informed of the recruitment status, fit, intangibles and just overall ability. They aren’t hoarded by the GM. These people are on the same team and the GM is there to make recruiting easier not set up unnecessary barriers to recruiters by guarding his person stash of evaluations.
