Why do you think he's likely to choose Alabama?


In-state kid in a class a year after we didn't land a 5-star RB. Usually works out in our favor.

I'd have to strongly disagree. Auburn/FSU battle.

He basically lives at the Auburn facility.

Cool.

We have a year to see what happens.

ETA: We already have a higher ranked RB committed for 2025, but we will sign 2 next year.

You can come in here and make dumbass posts like this years down the road if Auburn doesn't find success under Hugh Freeze.

Next year is year 2, his 2024 class was very impressive and he's off to a fantastic start with the 2025 class.

Not to mention, Alabama fans are still in here acting like NIL isn't the reason they have been signing their players, too. "The recruits only go somewhere other than Alabama because of money."

Are you under this impression Alabama doesn’t?

Doesn’t auburn have the same coach that gave bama fits in his short time at freakin ole miss of all places? What the hell do you think he is going to do at a much better place in auburn. Again, you know the answer to this, which is why you are spiraling

Yep.

He beat Blake Sims and Cooper Bateman.

Unfortunately, the 2014 win over the Sims led Tide was later vacated.

ETA: To be fair, Gus had more wins over Alabama than Hugh.

Cap with all due respect, it's more of the fact that a lot of Alabama fans can't come to grips with the fact that Alabama needs that "frick you" money now more than ever before...as yes, they have it. They always have and always will.

The whole "we just have to sell championships" spill doesn't work anymore like a lot of fans think. Alabama is absolutely offering NIL packages to these recruits just like most big programs are.

Auburn has alignment right now, which is why their NIL is so strong.

No one said you didnt. Your fellow gump said Auburn would be broke by 2025.

Did you miss that context again?

It is strange to see fans of a 6-6 team whose recruiting class ranks behind their rivals celebrating so jubilantly.

Most people know that if you land lots of top ten classes you can beat anyone. Freeze looks to be doing that with a very good start to 25. This isn’t difficult

When you take two 5 star Wrs and a top DL and win an OL battle in the same recruiting cycle, yeah, you can celebrate it.

Just think, when Ryan flips to Auburn, that should put uga at 1, bama at 2 and Auburn at 3. With a two 5 star flip tie breaker

Auburn’s top 6 recruits for 24 were all flips.

Any honest Alabama knew Hugh would recruit well Auburn. That’s come true. Alabama will have to fight for every in-state prospect for now on. Thankfully they have a regional and national approach to fall back on.

But Alabama didn’t get to where they are shying away from competition. I can hate Auburn and Hugh and still respect what he’s capable of.

and we were a hair shy of swiping KJ Bolden and LJ McCray. Tip of cap to uga for the late push and FL for holding on to dear life
