You clearly didn’t take enough, because Bama still finished near the top of the rankings. AU did good this year, no doubt. But pump the brakes on acting like you’ve signed the top class, robbed everyone in Bama’s class, and are headed for a Natty. You guys are starting to sound like Ole Miss and Mizzou fans haha

I've seen this kid play and he's a monster. Freeze knows how to recruit whether we like it or not. When you can start pulling recruits from Saban, you're doing something!
Something tells me Ryan Williams is going to Auburn too!

I, like you, have read everything, I’ve heard everything, and I’ve seen everything. Now the time has come, the time has come to decide who we are, what we are, and what we’re going to do.
You Alabama fans listening in to see what we’re doing, what we’re saying, how we’re feeling, how we’re thinking – how about giving us a moment alone, just us Auburn people, so we can talk among ourselves. Would you do us that favor? We’d appreciate it. Take a break, go to the bathroom, get another beer, do whatever you want to do, I don’t care. Just give us Auburn people a moment alone.
Well, now that we’re alone what do you think? Ah, I know they’re still there, I know they’re still there listening in on what we’re saying, but so be it. I’m not scared of them and you’re not scared of them either, not since coach dye came, none of us have been scared of them anymore, none of us. If they weren’t scared of us, they wouldn’t still be listening in and thinking we didn’t know they were there.
Funny thing is they probably thought we were stupid enough to think they would leave when we asked them to leave. They’re the ones with the problem, not us. In fact I want them to hear what we’re saying and what we’re talking about. I want them to know what we’re thinking, they need to know, and when they find out, they won’t sleep good tonight, tomorrow night, any night. We’re coming after their butt. We’re coming after them today, we’re coming after them tomorrow, we’re coming after them the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.
We will not rest, we won’t sleep, we will not be deterred until we reach our goal, and that goal is simply this: to paint this state – the entire state – not North Alabama, not South Alabama, not East Alabama, not West Alabama, the entire state, orange and blue. Now Terry Bowden and I didn’t always agree, and we didn’t always see eye to eye on everything, but we did agree on one thing. We might not get them, the Alabama mamas and papas, but we were going to get the sons and the daughters. We were going to get the children, and we are getting them. Birminghan was once their bastion, their home ground, their turf. Lookat the statistics. Statistics don’t lie. Birmingham and Jefferson County students are coming to Auburn as never before.
We’re winning the battle there, and we’re winning the battle everywhere else. Take a snapshot here, take a snapshot there and it might not be evident. But in your heart, in your heart of hearts, you know we’re winning the battle, and you know we’re winning the war. Where are their sons and daughters going to school? Think about your Alabama friends and the number of their children who are coming to Auburn. Inch by inch, person by person, child by child we’re winning the war. It might not be evident in every battle, and it may or may not be evident today, but we’re winning the war.
All we have to do is keep the faith and keep on fighting. Every day in every way in every arena. The future is ours. All we have to do is fight for it and take it. Keeping the faith, that’s the key. And I don’t want to get anybody mad, and I don’t want to offend anybody, but think about the Vietnam War. Think about it in the context of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. Time and time again we Americans claimed victory. We read about it in the paper, we heard about it on television, we beat ourselves on the chest.
And what did it get us? In the little things and the hearts of the people? That’s where wars are won and lost, and we’re winning this war with Alabama, just as sure as you hear the sound of my voice, we’re winning it. You know it and they know it.
That’s what will keep them awake tonight, that’s what will keep them awake in the nights to come. Winston Churchill, he of the Auburn heart said it best, “Never, never, never give up. We will fight on the land, we will fight on the sea, we will fight in the air, we will fight until Hitler and his Nazis are driven from the face of the earth.”
Now I’m not comparing Alabama to Hitler and the Nazis. Not at all. There are many good Alabama people, and I have many good Alabama friends, at least a few, and I have great respect for them and their program for what they’ve accomplished down through the years. But this is not about them, this is about us: who we are, what we are, and what we are going to do.
We are going to fight them today, we are going to fight them tomorrow. We’re going to fight them every day and every way. We won’t win all the battles, but we’re going to win the war. You Alabama fans out there, still listening in, eavesdropping voyeurs that you are, lurking there in the deep, dark shadows of radioland, you can bank on it. We’re going to win the war. Remember Dunkirk, the gallant British army was virtually driven into the sea. That was but one battle. It was a long, long war as this has been, and will continue to be, a long, long war.
No, this is not about you. This is about us, the Auburn people. And this is a call to arms. Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that, and the day after that. We will fight until victory is ours.
And as for today, Coach Jordan said it best, and that’s beat hell out of the University of Alabama. We will fight until the victory is ours. We may get knocked down, but we will not be knocked out. We will get up and fight again. We may occasionally be downhearted, but we will not be defeated. Never.
It is not in our nature, not in our makeup, it is not in our heart and it is not in our soul. Remember Goliath, remember the Roman Empire, remember Ozymandias. Learn from them, my Alabama friends. Learn from them and prepare to join them. No, Ozymandias was not Ozzie Nelson’s cousin.
Now go listen to Eli. He’s a good man, he’ll tell you who Ozymandias was. Back to you, Paul. Let’s get it on.

Get used to it.
From the looks of things Auburn fans are going to be absolutely fricking nuts for the foreseeable future.
Y’all acting like Tennessee fans on crack.

Some Auburn fans may be jumping to conclusions yes, BUT just as many Bama fans are acting like nothing's wrong, and losing several key recruits means ABSOLUTELY nothing. I don't expect a team who signed the number 2# class to panic, but pretending like going against Cam Coleman and a more talent rich Auburn is nothing almost makes me laugh. There's some delusion on BOTH sides.

Well when you consistently sign top 2 classes, what do you expect Bama fans to think? Alabama will win with whoever they get. Pretty simple.

Everybody expects auburn to be tougher with Hugh Freeze. We’re talking about recruiting though.

I'm talking about the crimson colored glasses people who are acting like losing top recruits means nothing. Again, I don't expect panic until it shows up on the field, but some people have their head in the sand about what's taking place. Nobody including Bama will go on a run like they did in this new era NIL and a 12 team playoff.

I guess we'll just give up on the Class of 2025 on December 23, 2023.
We had a good run.

I could see it being a bigger deal if UA did not finish near the top of recruiting every year. You make it sound like our class lost all its top recruits and are near the bottom.
Yes, AU may have a few recruits that Saban wanted but so does every major program in the country does as well and why Saban offers so many kids. He knows like any reasonable fan knows we will not get the majority we offer.
It has nothing to do with head being buried in the sand just reality that we will never get everyone we offered.
quote:

This is where so many fail to understand reality. a&m perfect example by throwing millions out in NIL deals at a program with unlimited resources along with a coach that has already won a NC yet could not develop them and win anything. Now that investment is leaving to go where they can win.
Getting top recruits even from your rival may ignite excitement within the fanbase but until Freeze starts to compete(actually win) titles does not mean much in the end. And with the portal AU could be in the same boat as a&m in the next 2 years with no ROI on their recruiting.

Using logic contributed by Auburn fans Saban has been doing NIL before it was legal since he arrived and so far, we have had a great ROI.

Because it doesn’t. Alabama gets their guys. Lost Fromm? Signed Tua and Mac Jones. Lost Carson Beck? Signed Bryce Young.

This is not 2015. That's the point I'm making. If you believe that Alabama can just sneeze and sign 5* like back in the day you're mistaken. Very seldom have you seen Auburn go head to head with Bama for a top recruit and win in the Saban era until now. If you compare that to the changing landscape of College football, I'm saying that the absolute strangle on college football thing is impossible now for ANYONE. That's how the Commissioners and higher ups wanted it. Wake up
