So we’re fairly certain Williams commits to UT early Tom?


Yes.

I think we are all in on Citizen as far as a high school back. He is worth the risk of missing Williams in my opinion. If we miss on Citizen as well I expect we turn to the portal to get an experienced back. Probably a big back.

Agreed. Staff had months to lock in Williams if they wanted him. They’re rolling the dice on landing Citizen now

I got the early complaining about the recruiting. It made me uncomfortable too, but he’s still complaining. Is it where we want it to be or need to be? Nope

But damn, take the foot off the whine pedal a little and at least admit it is finishing more positive than many thought.

I’ve bitched all season about recruiting but the past 2 weeks have been promising. Do I think we have a stellar recruiting staff? Probably not. We are benefiting greatly by coaching changes at 2 powerhouse conference teams. Just like others benefited last year with ours. Top 15-20 is acceptable in a first year. Top 10 is a must next year.


This is where I’m at for the most part.

Our staff was way behind on relationships with ‘22 recruits. As soon as that factor turned in our favor due to staff turnover at other schools we started winning battles. That tells me that this staff can compete in 2023.

Said since the start that top 20 with an equal a balance of 4*+:3* is where we should expect to be in February and I think that is where we are going to finish. Next year has to really be solid, though. Especially in the trenches

You talking to me? I’m not whining I’m being realistic. Top 15-20ish is decent for this year although it did take some turmoil to help us. Not bitching just the truth. But last year was a poor class this year is middle of the conference. Next year has to be top 4 in the conference just to be able to compete with some of the big boys and after this recruiting haul 4 teams will be way ahead of us in the conference. UGA, Bama, LSU and aTm. You can’t win conference championships with talent around 7th in the conference with our schedule. Plus like I’ve said a bazillion times I like Harsin but he won’t get 4-5 years to figure it out. No whine just truth

Auburn NSD video
Man the Auburn video productions team has been killing it lately, I think they won like an award this year too for it, GSM, not sure the acronym. I'm ready for it all, I hope we do find a way to finish well in this early period, if not by February. We need a win of some sort

If I was saying that to you I would have said you’re still complaining.

I already said we are not where we need to be to compete. I’m very aware. Sometimes not every post is directly about you baw.

Oh and not giving Harsin 4-5 years would be an absolute failure and dumb move.

So to see if I understand this correctly, dude recently hired has ESD while still putting staff together, while the big dogs roll in ESD, and he has to scramble to put something together for SD and were you expecting it to be a good class or something? Just wondering where you sit. To me it sounds like you are bitching.

We need that fax machine girl on our side. She could have been the key to the whole damn thing

Harsin doing better work that I expected. Not what we really want but some needs in there and like I said, better than I expected.

One OT and thats it still is concerning. Not sure what kind of cooties we have with Linemen...

Hoping for a good day.
