The way AU got screwed by the refs last year should have this list include us.

It was amusing during the Olympics when all the drama networks were showing the different events. Was interesting to watch white water rafting on the CW :lol:

I wouldn't read too much into it. Back when payments were under the table, having a recruit getting an "AU" tattoo and then not committing to us was the high water mark of not believing a single thing these kids are saying.
At least the Oregon kicker has an all time name, Atticus Sappington
We're a baseball school now

With the history of poor production that AU has had regarding WRs over the last 20 years, stack the WRs up and let the chips fall where they may. Not like there is some proven WRU system being upended here :lol:

I have a really hard time watching this team play ball. Hall is an absolute dog though
It is difficult to watch, especially following up the formula AU had going the last couple of years. It seemed like the team thrived without any one player being consistently dominant.
This year, we've just got to hope than Hall/Tahaad catch fire because the poor roster construction doesn't allow the team to win games.

No they aren't that much better imo.
It didn't actually seem like there was a huge disparity in big man play in the game.
Hall did his thing but A&M came together down the stretch and the known AU defensive flaws showed up.

Please explain to me how this is sustainable.
Well, it's not. Nobody is saying it is.
The NCAA fought tooth and nail to prevent any sort of overt player payment/movement for over 30 years. If at any point they had compromised we likely would have seen a more gradual progression to player payment and movement that would have settled on making sense.
Instead they forced the players to go around the NCAA to the courts which pretty much nuked any rules that were in place.
Only way this gets solved is if congress gives one of those anti trust exemptions (unlikely as congress has been deadlocked for like a decade) or some sort of union and CBA comes into play
As gratifying as it would be to believe these reports are true, the timing indicates "sour grapes"
Cause he had nowhere else to go in D1 :lol:
Hopefully, some of the portal entrants come back into play but I just don't know. It will absolutely hurt to see our top guys potentially perform like Bo Nix once they leave Auburn, but that's CFB now.

After everything we saw regarding offensive regression under Hugh Freeze, I place the blame for just about everything on our former coach and his crew.

I enjoyed my play through of it. I'll revisit it once they eventually release the DLCs.
It absolutely does not reinvent the wheel in any meaningful way, but delivers well on known RPG mechanics along with improvements/lessons learned from the first 1.

Folks were advocating that firing Freeze would lead to an exodus. News flash, this kind of exodus was coming either way.
Just the way CFB is now

We try to run Bruce’s scheme but the passing is horrendous and some won’t attempt to pass.
No argument from me on that. Watching Tahaad try to run the point guard position is hard. The minutes he did that last year were tough as well, haven't seen a lot of progress on it.

He’s not his Dad and shouldn’t be judged on that he should be judged on his own merit.
If he struck off on his own to get some head coaching experience, I'd agree with this more.
What he did do was take over his dads role immediately following the retirement which really blurs the line.
There is no merit to judge on - the players to keep/acquire were made at least in tandem with Bruce. I don't imagine they're running much differently scheme wise from when Bruce was here.

Some guys just have difficulty with that concept.
Jaxon Dart is still doing it in the NFL and has been concussed a ridiculous number of times because of it.

It's kind of hard to see how this group rounds into any type of a tournament team with how they've played AND lacking any sort of big man.
I'm going to give them some grace because the lineup of opponents has been just murderous. This team is clearly not elite, but there is a lot of wiggle room in that.

We mirror our Top247 after the NFL Draft. There are 32 first-round picks every year, which is why we have 32 five-stars. So, if we award a prospect a fifth star, we believe that they have one of the best chances out of anyone in the cycle to eventually blossom into a Day 1 pick.
That's interesting, didn't know they did that.
Google says the following for 5*s and being drafted:
Five-star high school recruits, representing the top ~30-32 players nationally (top 0.01%), have a roughly 58% chance of being drafted into the NFL, with top-15 ranked prospects having a higher 62.1% "hit rate" (rounds 1-4). These elite prospects, often considered future first-rounders, frequently display superior athleticism, technique, and high football IQ.
The above kind of aligns with my impression that being evaluated that highly coming out of high school leads to a better chance of being drafted at all. You're right that it leads to better chances at 1st round but that is really hard to do in any case.
It's kind of crazy that Auburn hasn't had a 1k receiver in so long. I get that we were RBU there for a while but cmon :lol:
In the scheme of making it to the next level, yes those guys are not busts but to me - relative to their high school evaluations and not being highly productive at Auburn leads me to label them busts. Because realistically all I care about is production at AU.
