Yeah 2022 is looking like crap but it is a small class. They go harder with the portal next year as well. We already have two more HS QBs coming in. Most importantly, Scott is already recruiting for 2023 which is going extremely well and will be a substantial class. Of course we need to start winning some friggin games this year so he has a growth message to give to recruits. 

They need to start on this IPF also.  Show the commitment to these kids.  Define well on the 2023 recruiting, most I see are 4/5 star kids that will be scooped up by P5 programs.  Wins are important but that schedule is a killer, may have only 1 win in first 5 games.  Hope I am wrong.    Wonder what the recruiting budget is? Wasn't Georgia's like $30 million a few years back.  That's what being in the SEC gets ya.  $$$$$$$.

Another thing to consider is that due to transfer and extra year granted for Covid the number of HS kids taken this year by all schools could diminish. Maybe dropping better talent to those in AAC.

The commitment for the IPF is already there with the groundbreaking within a couple of months. Would be nice for the rest of the project to get funded, though ....

I was talking to El Toro this morning. Since I’ve moved to Auburn I noticed that they treat their high school fb players like gods. There is a 4 star offensive lineman at Auburn High that put out his list. All power 5 plus UCF! There is more ink on UCF a because of Gus and he knows where to mine for players. Coach better start recruiting AL or we will be looking up at UCF for the foreseeable future.

Don't you think it kind of makes sense that a former Auburn head coach was on a kid from an Auburn HS?  Don't think I'd panic over that.

Have the last 4 transfers signed and made it to campus?  Terry, Mangham, Yarberough and Gregory

Yarberough is going 2 be a beast at DE. Terry is going 2 be our MVS/Rodney Adams.

I hope you’re right about yarberough.  Our DEs were nonexistent last year.

Statistically, a majority of our DLine transfers the past few years have been productive. Darius Slade, Patrick Macon, Tyrik Jones, and currently Thad Magnum and Blake Green were starters. We still have Thaxton. Im going to hope that Yarberough and Stewart (DE from Mississippi) can give us 7 - 10 sacks, and 6-8 TFL combined and we should be ok with those 2 transfers. Im still hoping we magically find space for another DT.
