Not sure what to make of that statement by Dukes. I saw it a few weeks ago.

I also said this early June:



June was an evaluation period. And he’s right. It wasn’t relaxed. Most of those interactions with kids on campus were workouts, camps, etc. They had kids for visits too but it was a different pace and that period had different goals. So, I’m not sure that a pivot has been made in philosophy or whatever. Maybe they’re more comfortable now and that’s coming across. Never a bad thing

4* ‘23 LB Tausili Akana visited Auburn yesterday and picked up an offer.

He’s from Hawaii and is the current #3 LB in the composite. Said a big part of him visiting Auburn was that his teacher in Hawaii is an Auburn alumni and kept telling him he should check it out.

quote:

“I had a teacher last year, she’s an alum here,” Akana said. “She told me she played basketball here. Everyday when I came into class after she found out I had a couple of offers she would always say ‘it’s not the Auburn offer.’ She would always tell me that I had to come check out Auburn. She doesn’t know I’m here but I’m going to give her the big news.”


Says he really likes the people there. Will try to come back and visit in the fall. Summarized from portions of Caldwell’s interview on 247 FREE
