Good lord.
I said after year 5, not 3 or 4. Quit moving the goal posts when your damn argument was about getting a sixth year of eligibility.
And your 5 key players span a decade and hundreds of players who suited up in an Auburn uniform.
Or the 4 span 7 years and almost two hundred players who signed scholarship papers for Auburn. And played on teams that averaged 4+ losses a season.
You recruit players to make an immediate impact. Not wait for them to maybe do something 4+ years later. There's a reason why Adams and Daniel were playing a lot more snaps than Carter. Why Lawson took over Equae and Delanies minutes. Why McKinzy is ahead of Swain. Why Holsey was ahead of Smith. Why Dismukes jumped Tunde.

Not going through rosters so I am forgetting guys but a number of guys that were solid contributors would not have gone to the nfl even if they had a fifth year is my point. Don't see how you are making that argument. When I get time I'll go through rosters and give you better names. Also we sucked so bad there just erent contributors but I'll give you some from other schools
Also, I don't have a problem recruiting guys to make immediate impacts but not all (especially on DL/OL) are ready to make that impact freshman year and red shorting a player is not all about increased eligibility. Redshirts go through RS workouts which are way better for building muscle and what not since they can lift 6 days a week.
Look, I don't disagree that if they help the team win they should play but if there isn't a huge difference, they should be redshirted.
Also, from a players perspective, flat our heard Jonathan jones be pissed about not being redshirted since he was only on ST and he wanted to bulk up.
