Same here. I think too many people today get upset or twisted about these young men making what they feel at the time is the best decision they can make for themselves. Anyone with good sportsmanship from any team should do as you’ve done and wish the young man the very best of luck. I certainly do as well… RTR

Probably because it’s not suspicious when 5* players sign with two dominant programs who have 70+% of the fans in their respective states. It’s definitely suspicious when 5* players start signing with a program that has been mediocre for 10 years and is led by a coach with a documented history of blatant cheating and preaching of fake family values and religious piety while he was banging hookers. Everyone was suspicious when Ole Miss started signing 5*s, and guess what? They were right! Auburn is a little better program than Ole Miss, but never signed a lot of elite recruits except when Bama and UGA have been down.

These guys get to play immediately at Auburn. They want that opportunity instead of sitting at Bama or UGA. I don’t blame them.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

But by not sitting they are good HS players not top college players when they face a team like bama and UGA with multiple starters NFL bound rookie HS layers no matter how good do not beat GREAT college players about to go pro. They need to develop, the best freshman still take a yr or 2 to become great college players even on loaded teams maybe 1 or 2 freshmen make real difference and that is on team that is loaded at every damn position. Auburn 2 to 3 yrs from being real good if they ever get there. lets see if freeze can recruit and develop players at auburn. one or 2 yrs at ole miss with a few great players and still no titles has proven nothing yet. Took saban a couple of yrs and kirby and both now multiple titles, freeze has zero, so lets not annoint him great until he wins something besides a couple of big games like a sec title and a spot in CFP

[@iamyouarei9497]

Jesus... freeze is about to do big things. He excells in the NIL model that once punished his recruiting tactics and abilities. He's now in his coaching prime, has a massive dedication to doing things right to prove his second chance is warranted, left the SEC with unfinished business when he was a NC contender and was humbled in a big way. He's now at a school that's hungry to reestablish its tradition, and they have superior resources with boosters that make your eyes water with money they withheld from the previous coach that didn't know what he was doing. This is a generational aligning of the stars at Auburn. I give it 2 seasons max before Auburn is one of the most feared stadiums in the country for opposing teams to visit

I was opposed to the Freeze hire. I was opposed to the way Auburn treated Harsin. I was opposed to the way we fired Malzahn during the COVID year. I think it is really embarrassing that boosters fabricated a faux scandal around Harsin that he was cheating on his wife, and then turn around and hire a guy who was fired in part for ... you guessed it.

Come on now i know your smarter than that. You know it took the right coach at the right time for Georgia to get where there at. I think Auburn ., has gotten the right coach at the right time. It's not like Georgia has always been a power house and neither has Auburn nor will Georgia stay in the position there in. You know as well as I do With the right coach Auburn will do big things. .You can act like your not being a smart A-- by the things you say about Auburn If you want to but anybody that has watched your show knows you put Auburn down every chance you get I've heard you put them down on several occasions But I think alot of people like you.Have gotten used to Auburn being down the last four or five years. And things are look up for Auburn right now and not only do you not like it. It scares you. You can twist and turn it how ever you want two. And I don't blame you cause just like when Kirby took over at Georgia it scared Auburn people cause the knew was coming just like I think you know what's coming. No matter how much you don't like it and how much you put Auburn down for spending NIL money I guarantee you the three 'NiL deals were all close to the same.

Remember when people talked shit? Lol

[@NickEBN79]

We will go 6-6 but I would love to be surprised with 8-4

[@luciousecarter8550]

6-6? Come on man!! U mean to tell me we're 1 game better from last yr with a better coaching staff?? U must forgot GA was the only team that stomped us last yr? We competed in every game with a bad Coach and staff. I say 9-3 or better. Freeze trying to win now, trying to make a statement ASAP. Not next yr or the yr after. No way in hell a Auburn fans should have that 6-6 expectation.

[@dharrisoftroy]

Best case 10-2 worse 8-4. It’s not to many teams that I feel are that much better than auburn. Ppl wanna look at records but I watched all the games and besides Georgia and Penn state. They had a shot in those games

Threat to be on probation more likely.

Screw Auburn. Roll Tide

[@drulamane]

Absolutely hate Hugh Freeze I hope Auburn has their worst year to date

[@donniesmith2836]

Now that we took your players, hopefully we can have a hand in keeping Bama out of the playoffs. Don't laugh, we almost did it last year and we sucked

Amazing how escort services can help recruiting 😂

[@shane87smith]

now if only we can develop that talent. ole Gussy got us a lot of good recruits, but the majority flamed out or transferred or something or other. Gotta develop that talent

[@lucio989]

Because most of his recruits were 4 star. They don't get much better to the naked eye. if he got a lot of 3 star or less level players, yeah they would get noticably better.

[@shane87smith]

@@lucio989 I think he was just terrible at developing. I can't think of too many players who came in and got a ton better over the years

[@lucio989]

@@shane87smith name a Saban player that came in and got better. That's a silly talking point that can never be observed or measured.

[@shane87smith]

@@lucio989 haha you don't think players can come in and get better??

[@lucio989]

@@shane87smith show me a single one that Saban developed or any coach in the nation and we will see your criteria. Then I will show you plenty that either did or didn't. It's a silly thing to bring up. Players come in good. Then get better. Then get better again. Then get worse. Some players sit on the bench 3 years then play one good year. What do you mean development? It's a vague excuse to hate.

The problem is that Freeze is apparently negotiating the money which isn’t allowed

[@alittlehelp812]

Older and barely holding on to a job coaches on the defensive side at Alabama, would be an easy flip if you're looking for 4 yrs.

[@AUClay]

NIL is a bad term, these kids don’t have NIL value yet. Their names, images, and likenesses aren’t worth anything. At the moment it’s literally pay to sign, not pay to play, just sign. Things need to change so they can make $ for themselves for playing well and becoming popular. Cam Newton and Tim Tebow could have made millions off actual NIL money.
