In the last 4 years Auburn has signed only 2 Bo Nix and Pappoe that are still on campus.

Thompson has at least 3 right now.

Auburn got one in the portal in Demetris Robertson but only has 3 tds in the last 4 years. So he is probably really only a 2 or 3 now.

I was checking out Thompson's roster a few weeks ago and was amazed. How are they doing it?

Calvin Ashley was a 5*, too, and he signed with Auburn.

He would be the 4th or 5th best defensive player at Thompson right now.

I don’t think opposing fans understand that star value doesn’t really mean anything to Auburn fans at this point.

Under Gus Malzahn, we had a TON of both highly rated 4* and 5* that either busted or transferred out, or both.

That’s even dates back to him only being OC at Auburn in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

DeLo Benton
Trovon Reed
Duke Williams
Calvin Ashley
Mike Dyer
Joey Gatewood
Matthew Hill
Harold Joiner
MAR
NCM
Kyle Davis
Jovon Robinson
Roc Thomas
Jeremy Johnson

I mean, frick.

Tua's family moving into town, and the subsequent success that they have since maintained, gave them quite a boost.

Tua ended up at Thompson after shopping around at several high schools for a guaranteed starting spot.

The point being why does a high school have more elite talent than good SEC program does?

All that matters is stars. I guess Tank sucks because he wasn’t a 5 star. Oh well.

Bo, Pappoe, and Robinson is 3.

Advantage still goes to Thompson. 2 of their 3 x 5 stars haven't busted, yet.

Well, I am sure none of those 5 stars will end up at auburn. The destruction continues.
