In depth. To the point. Best Spring review by far!! WDE

[@gregskipworth4533]

Excellent assessment. Cole keeps it honest.

7:30 on a Friday and I’m seeing greatness. Wickles greatness.

Looking forward to the 2nd year for coach Freeze at Auburn.

[@perfectblindguy]

4th and 31

[@jakepadgett5569]

I’m not worried about the right side of the o line but I’m extremely concerned about the left side . Wade and Lewis looked awful in the spring game. Cole is being nice by saying they got some things to work on. Thornes backside is important and our left guard and left tackle wouldn’t start on any other sec teams except maybe Mississippi state and vandy. Hopefully we hit the portal and find another left tackle .

[@buddyskinner1633]

I’m hoping Percy Lewis gets in shape. If he can drop some bad weight and replace it with muscle. He’d be a force at left tackle. Hopefully he’s teachable and willing to listen to his coaches and trainers.

[@reed1511]

What about jamonta Waller? I heard he is having a good spring.

[@PapaVickers]

Great show.

[@chrishough5834]

"But they're so big!"

[@davidwhisenant8703]

Brice Cain will be the man

[@CaptainVelveeta]

I'm always optimistic...I mean, I grew up an Auburn fan, you gotta be right?. But I gotta say, I'm still worried about Thorne as the team leader. He didn't look very impressive. When he wasn't casually dropping back with no descernible count, he was eyeing down the reciever on every completion which we all know is a pick 6 just waiting to happen. WDE!

[@gamingdreams2142]

Jason Jones is a 6th year player. If he hasn’t done it by now he’s not going to.

[@jakepadgett5569]

Bingo. Might as well move on and play freshman.

[@CubeShow61]

Fair...but the light has come on late for plenty of players.

[@johncrane1594]

​@@CubeShow61 it's perplexing. He's not lazy or untalented. He even spends the off-season working on hand movements and putting in extra work, but it never translates. Don't understand why this kid isn't succeeding. It's frustrating because he's a Wonderful dude.

[@buddyskinner1633]

Maybe, as Cole said, the light will come on his final season. We sure could use him being a force on the DL.

[@jakepadgett5569]

Koy moore, Burton, and fair should transfer. They won’t play much. The freshman are already better or at least as good . Might as well play the young kids if they are already close or better.

[@youtubejojo7475]

Burton is still young and just transferred to Auburn from Ohio state last year

[@wesdavis309]

​@@youtubejojo7475I agree keep Burton

[@pulaski7621]

Burtons a redshirt sophomore and was a five star. Absolutely no reason for him to leave

[@kevinscott2326]

😢😢😮😢😮😮😮😢😊😊

[@jakepadgett5569]

@@youtubejojo7475ok. Well he can stay if he wants but I doubt he plays much at all. He’s the slowest receiver I’ve ever seen get on the field at auburn. He’s got good hands but it looks like he’s wearing ankle weights and his cleats weigh 20 pounds.

[@liburtonjr7053]

What are you doing with a LSU Helmet in your office? Cole come on bro. WDE 94’

[@thegracegarden1244]

awesome

[@Jox945TV]

👏

[@jsrainesphoto]

Them jeans better be the best I've ever owned for $450 a pair. Ain't no way, homie.

[@williamfowler9518]

Did not mention the special team players; kickers, punters, returners.

[@BENJIR2D2]

Break down the tape. Same problems from last year. Mainly poor qb play which leads to can't score TD's in the red zone. Not even on A-day.

[@wesdavis309]

We just need Thorne to manage the offense and not turn the ball over.

[@BENJIR2D2]

@@wesdavis309 We need a little more than that. You’re implying that we’re so strong everywhere else. That we should be okay as long as our QB is a game manager? I hope you’re right but it feels like Groundhog Day to me.

[@Jox945TV]

Are you suggesting he does not watch the tape?

[@perfectblindguy]

does anyone honestly believe that Auburn will win the SEC or get in the playoffs? Nope. Roll Tide.

[@jordanphillips3341]

I NEVER wana see that bum Koy Moore see time again. He literally wouldn't play for Hoover High. I immediately saw that they put him back there on that punt return against Bama, (the one he botched and it cost us the Iron Bowl) and I said "Ohhhh Nooo!" And my asshole tightened up and he did exactly what i worried he wud do. Which is sad bc how can the coaches be that dumb? Especially when we have a badass returner already with K. Scott.

[@jakepadgett5569]

Scott and Lee are not safeties. They are both corners.

[@JtMartin1914]

His name is Camden Brown lol…

[@CubeShow61]

Pardon the imperfection lol

[@Marktastik86]

Another year Another season for auburn to loose to Alabama. 😂 Roll tide!

[@buddyskinner1633]

Because he’s a turd fan!
