With Hugh fully engaged with the offense, an upgrade in WR talent, and the new helmet communication, we will see a dramatic improvement on offense. All teams will benefit from helmet communication, but I think Auburn will benefit more than most. I hope I am right. Some will claim they knew Payt...

Unreal. That would be 4 for 4 on 1st choice transfer targets. The off season gm hire suddenly looking genius. ...

This has been a stellar portal. We have hit on every defensive 1st choice so far. Time for the offense to do something. Also, if Caleb Wooden is in the safety rotation, then they may need find a safety in the portal. ...

That would be an incredible pull. ...

Aden doesn't seem like the kind of point guard Oates would be interested in. If Bama took him I'd expect that experiment to fail miserably....

At some point Auburn is going to have to over pay for a QB. We're not going to be special again until we get someone exceptional at that position. Husan may not.be the one to break the bank on, but we're going to have to do it for someone....

Based on a Texas article, Blidi will be a graduate transfer available in the summer. He's a very experienced and proven tackle. Great QB pressure numbers, while actual sacks are low. He was at Texas Tech before transferring to Indiana last year. Based on who's interested in him, he's not going to ...

All this culture stuff is fluff that you focus on when you aren't winning meaningful games. Just win and I'll hype anything the team is doing in the off-season. ...
In my experience all negative Auburn rumors end up being true, and the positive ones are never true....

[quote]Either you think he’s worth a scholarship or not[/quote] I want to quibble with this statement. Auburn has an informal salary cap, and therefore can't chase after every 5 star looking for a big NIL bag. So if Henderson is playing the game and trying to work himself into a bidding war, Hug...

re: Durkin it is

Posted by AUgryphon on 1/30/24 at 8:08 am
A rumor I heard is that Durkin had not been fired by Texas A&M, so there were issues with his buyout. Whether A&M wanted Auburn to pay a buyout, or if Durkin wanted his guaranteed money from A&M is not clear to me. The delay is likely due to lawyers hashing all that out....

[quote]Yeah. I think Dimitry Nicolas will sign. I haven’t heard about him visiting anywhere[/quote] Caldwell just said he didn't expect Nicholas sign with us. He's pretty conservative with information, so I assume he's been told something....
I hope you are right that we're still picking at the Bama corpse. Just one transfer is pretty weak given that we have Charles Kelly on staff. If there was ever a time to flip the board completely with Bama, this is it. I firmly believe our high school recruiting will be better going forward, but ...
Hugh thinks 2 quarterbacks in the bush are better than 1 in the hand....
[quote]It's crazy to watch. I'm shocked they aren't recruiting their own roster better.[/quote] I have a theory that most coaches are reasonable people who expect their job to be mostly player development, team building and game scheming. I've commented before that what I have learned from the H...

I have criticisms of Freeze's first year, but I can ignore almost all of them because he nailed the one thing that really mattered for long term success, recruiting. We should all now appreciate even more how Hugh went full blast into recruiting before the ink was even dry on his contract. DeBoer i...
