We’re also not the only fanbase that thinks this. But we might be the most paranoid about it. I do think we have some legit gripes this cycle on ranking drops

It’s either true or awfully coincidental

As long as they sign their NLI I am not worried about it too much. Their play will tell that story.

Bama uga and A&M bribe the recruiting services to boost their rankings so their classes look better and more recruits want to come

I never said I've been saying this to YOU GUYS for years dude. The website that I'm referring to specifically is 247 sports. Look it up. How do guys have outstanding senior seasons but move down? Especially in the case of TJ

I know I sound like a paranoid nut, but I remember recruiting Insiders speaking about Nick Sabans evaluations meaning so much MORE to the people who work for these sites. If Nick identifies an unranked player as a hidden gem they will oftentimes bump him because they respect his eye for talent. We on the other hand(according to them) have been hit an miss.

No you dont man. It is exactly what happens. They sign with Auburn and are bumped down. These recruiting sites are bought and paid for and will boost whoever they are paid to boost.

A couple of days ago.

In recap, he’s from Langston Hughes. Same school that’s put out Air Noland, Bo Hughley, Jelani Thurman, Terrance Love, etc

Freeze has been recruiting that school hard after Harsin burned bridges over there

I tried for years to ignore it, but I just couldn't rationalize this years bump downs on 247. How could a guy transfer to a top 3 program in the country and play well against top talent, but lose a star in their mind? Also what does Malcolm Simmons have to do to get recognition? Bleed? Lol

He’s been taking his visits. JLee keeps bumping up his confidence on him so I’m not too concerned

Napier is doing his in-home tonight

I saw where he responded to Coleman’s flip and posted a countdown right after to his announcement. 9 days boys.



Would be nice to stack some talent. Even if we cant keep it for multiple years, its nice to use them for chum.


These days, you damn near have to rebuild your roster every year

Crazy times

What the frick are you complaining about now. Full Eeyore mode. We sign 5 star WRs and Lanier starts bemoaning losing them in a few years. The frick? Try to enjoy it man.

i guess. Normally when Auburn signs 5 star WRs for the first time in nearly 20 years, you would think excitement would be the reaction, not sadness and hopelessness. Hope Lanier is ok

If 25% of teams were pulling a Colorado I'd believe you. Instead we've got... just Colorado.
