That’s a little ambitious for a team with no OL who would start for any team in the conference save for Vandy or maybe SC.

That being said, I really like the way Harsin has organized his recruiting effort and program so far. He’s creating a culture of competition that we haven’t seen in a while. I think we will be very competitive and in the hunt for a division title in 2023.

Auburn has ONE, maybe two all-sec caliber players.
Well, that’s false.

Auburn has some talented guys like Owen Pappoe, Tank Bigsby, Smoke Monday, Colby Wooden, Roger McCreary and Anders Carlson on roster.

Also, Auburn literally had more than two All-SEC players last year and the only one that left was BKB, and he was the worst of the bunch. Colby Wooden, Tank Bigsby and Anders Carlson all return.

Neither of those guys were stuck with Bo Nix as their QB in year 1.
Hey wait a minute, elite QB T.Jandon Harrisley (Brandon Harris/T.J. Finley clone) is now on campus and promises to be the savior of Auburn football.

BTW, he has absolutely nothing you want in a Championship Calibur SEC QB, except for a strong arm. (Known learning disability as well)

Good luck with that.

TJ Finley is at least two full seasons away from starting unless there’s an injury or an unforeseen transfer/declaration. And even then, we don’t know how Auburn’s QB room will have changed.

Bo Nix is Auburn’s QB for 2021 and 2022.

Auburn needed competition and they needed depth. They got both.

Auburn’s got some talent but they also have a whole new staff with the exception of Caddy and all new schemes on both sides of the ball. How involved will Hardin be in Bobo’s offense? I do expect a team that looks better prepared than some of the confusion and frustration Gus fielded over the years.

I think if you scroll back through, most of us are pretty reasonable in our expectations

That would normally be a negative, but AU had the most dysfunctional coaching staff in the SEC the last few years. They also had a S&C Program that was designed around Gus's HUNH. The core talent is there next year, it depends on how it comes together. The key is going to be Nix and how well Bobo can coach him.

Auburn’s biggest issue is that they don’t have an SEC caliber OL (as a whole)(Bro Hamm should be a G, not a T), and the interior of the DL is not SEC caliber.

The rest of Auburn’s roster appears to be very talented, save WR. We don’t really know what we have there based on lack of experience and exposure.
