What if Auburn flips Deuce Knight from Notre Dame? | Auburn Tigers Podcast

[@NDantdawg]

Really hate this

[@GracieSkywalker]

Suck it

[@brucevaughn3429]

Wow...Deuce Knight and Walker White battling for Auburn's starting QB position in '25...I could get behind that..

[@KoolBell4AU]

I love Gus Malzahn, but his better recruiting classes were like Pot Luck Suppers. You could end up with 3 dishes of Mac-n-cheese. What this staff is doing is what Auburn has been capable of all along. We just needed the right staff to work on recruiting. I was beginning to wonder if I would see this in my lifetime.

[@autk]

And half of them left, were suspended or kicked off the team for disciplinary violations

[@emiller355]

That is the perfect analogy.

[@WendyJones-zy8kq]

You are absolutely correct!!

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Gus would sign 1, maybe 2 Top100 players. Hugh will sign 10+ every class.

[@UnkleRuckusNoRelation]

I just hope our fanbase doesn't turn on Freeze if he has a fair/bad season this year like they have other coaches/players

[@chrisswink5859]

The kids in state have a massive passion for the Iron Bowl rivalry that out of state kids have to grow into that intensity. These in state kids grew up in a state that Auburn and Bama football is LIFE here and will play harder in that game than most who aren't from the great state of Alabama

We finally have a coach that understands Dudes = better scheme / coaching

[@RobertHall-mq7ze]

I think we dodged a bullet with JuJu and probably KJ. Deuce at least has the physical size and speed which can't be coached, but the other attributes can be developed.

[@Smokin-Rails]

Please ask Darrell tomorrow about the in state recruiting narrative please… I WANNA SEE A DAP RANT!

[@thomasblizzard3824]

I think with 2 years of work under Kent Austin, on top of helmet communications and an rpo offense, junior WR’s being Coleman, Thompson, Simmons, and Cain. Possible senior WR’s and RB’s. He could be dangerous and not even have to be great. Just better than average and not turn the ball over…. Insane to think about.

[@DrexelKilpatrick]

yes listen to what bo nix said..don't be in a hurry to start as qb as a freshman. in the sec...good advice

[@TheAtedrow]

As a guy living in Indiana, I really hope this happens.

[@yellowfin1962]

Hey, Brian Harsin!! This is how recruiting is supposed to work. You might want to take notes!

[@tonytaylor5218]

Our WR class of 2024 HAS to make QB recruits salivate! Having a much deeper depth on the OL doesn’t hurt either!

[@Bradygaming24]

Hank Brown will start next year with Deuce sitting for a year or 2

[@jessemwakajumba6552]

What an amazing outcome this would be after the Lewis debacle. Btw I feel for him, I actually think he would’ve came to Auburn or strongly consider Auburn but his dad sucks

[@vtown871]

His dad doesn’t understand his son will be a 17 year old freshman that won’t start year 1 and that isn’t worth A mil to anyone in the SEC

[@WDWelly]

Charlie5, you said the same exact thing for JuJu regarding the people saying "I don't see it" and look how that turned out. You can't blame Auburn fans for not being the most optimistic about certain targets because way more times than not, we either haven't been in for them or we have and they choose someone else. I think that is definitely changing under Freeze though and people can start to be more optimistic.

[@RodneyDeese]

Ju Ju’s dad is unreasonable, like Ball’s dad

[@WDWelly]

@@RodneyDeese yeah he is

[@sloanlove1994]

look out he will start insulting you and telling you "you don't know anything" that's what this guy does

[@WBOMBS1232]

He won’t see the field for at least 2 seasons, but when he does that kid is gonna be an absolute animal

[@GracieSkywalker]

Longer then that Auburn is going to get a starting QB out of the transfer portal in December and White and Brown will still be ahead of him so most likely you don’t see Knight till 2028 or 2029 possible won’t see him at all Auburn getting Thompson starting QB in 2027 which is a once and a lifetime talent which could start as a freshman or sophomore he started as a 8 grader on varsity

[@pickesc]

No QB rated that highly is gonna wait until they are a senior to see the field. Those days are over. They'll transfer before that happens.

[@justcurious6776]

I mean no program wants to start a true freshman QB. You want your QB to be eased in not thrown into the fire

[@NorthAlabamaRentals]

I understand the desire to get a QB but Walker White was a higher rated QB out of high school than Deuce. Are we already writing for white?

[@war7iger]

I heard people call us spatula city

[@bandini.6599]

Okay but like why go after a 4 ⭐️ when we have 2 4⭐️ QB’s behind Payton already?? We need a blue chip 5 star ⭐️ or we can just stick with the QBs we have

[@DrexelKilpatrick]

hope we get knight ..we have to get the best players every year ..war eagle 😂😮😅😊

[@JR-nq7mc]

I wonder how Walker White feels about this lol.

[@sloanlove1994]

A QB is needed every recruiting class, so... he shouldn't feel any way about it but good

[@JR-nq7mc]

@@sloanlove1994 No don't you need QBs every year. But getting a 5 star (he will be) right behind Walker can't be comforting lol.

[@GracieSkywalker]

When Auburn adds Babalola and Kromah and Turner and you flip Offord and Cunningham and you get Knight and flip Duke Johnson and flip Grady I did the class calculations and it gave Auburn the #1 class in 2025

[@Chilly_3DITS]

😂😂I hope that happens..

[@GracieSkywalker]

@@Chilly_3DITS I have a good feeling it will and once we get Ryan Williams out of the portal and a elite transfer QB omg it just make it so much better it makes me chilly thinking about it

Never, stay with it, one of my fav parts of the show

[@typhipps6485]

He has a ton of potential but from all the highlights ive seen he needs to work on his timing and ball placement but the sky is the limit for this kid War Damn Eagle

[@justcurious6776]

He's still in high school of course he's not at the top of his game 😂😂

[@GracieSkywalker]

Those 2027 kids will sign with Auburn

Damn Deuce Knight is 6’4 190(220 they said)WDE

[@autk]

208lbs

[@GracieSkywalker]

Ryan Williams will transfer to Auburn and Cunningham will flip to Auburn

[@gamingdreams2142]

I’m going to say the unpopular opinion and that’s that he is very similar to Robby Ashford and we all remember how that worked out. He will bring in other high level recruits though. I know what Freeze is thinking and that’s if he doesn’t work out at quarterback what a hell of a receiver he would be. Here comes all the sunshine pumpers comments.

[@johncrane1594]

His new QB coach is helping him tremendously. He also beat out some pretty good QBs at elite 11. Robbie Ashford had no line, no (elite) receivers, and Philip Montgomery as a coordinator. Deuce will have years to study, great receivers and will be backed by an elite defense. Even Ashford may have succeeded with those circumstances, and Knight is much further along. He has work to do though 👍

[@Iceman24424]

You’re correct about one thing and it’s YOUR opinion!! If you can do better then go suit up… if not drink a TALL glass of stfu!!🦅

[@danielmoultrie]

He is nowhere similar to Ashford

[@Iceman24424]

It’s funny how YOU always wanna put players of certain melanin in positions other than QB🧐

[@demigod4842]

Name one thing how he is similar to Robby 😂. Dude hasn’t played one college snap.

[@justinthejuke5511]

Good show fellas

[@JimmyRawlinson-bp4dc]

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves remember what happened last time hopefully this will be different

[@justcurious6776]

Wouldn't be right if somebody didn't have any doubts. Good job mister

[@sloanlove1994]

NOT this again! All this "so much smoke" and "Experts predict" with Auburn qbs has a way of jinxing it

[@KoolBell4AU]

Those 12 year old kids won't matter, there will be a new coaching staff for 2027 at bama

[@dumdiversaspapalbull1452]

I don’t know why, but the dude just reminds me of Ray Perkins for some reason. I just for some reason think his tenure is going to be the equivalent, and it really looks like the kids in the state do as well. …….ofcourse they don’t know who Ray Perkins was, but you get my drift. I didn’t know he had passed away.

[@tcb7098]

Look at pages, apparently Saban was doing it wrong

[@calebjosephcountry]

Let’s hope he’s not just another Ashford. I.e. no passing skills and all legs

[@justcurious6776]

Ashford was a product of coaching meaning lack of. He signed with Oregon out of HS only for his coach to take the MIA job, comes to AU only to be put in a bad situation, and he's had to learn 3 different offenses with over 4 coordinaters. That's hard for any QB to develop properly

[@autk]

Confirmed hater 😂

[@calebjosephcountry]

@@autkNot at all. Hope he’s a star. Just making a fair statement

[@pickesc]

​@@justcurious6776 For the record Ashford did not leave Oregon due to a coaching change. He left prior to Cristobal's last season. He was buried behind an FCS transfer and two freshman on the depth chart.

[@justcurious6776]

@@pickesc says who? Ashford never said that 😂😂😂 so he came to Auburn to be a backup? If that's the case why transfer he could've kept playing baseball like he was. Finley was already the starter at that time. He did transfer when coach went to Mia

Is he really that good over Hank & white

[@WadeTime89]

YES !!!

[@hrev2neptune256]

It isn’t really about whether he is better than those 2 guys or not. It’s more about continuing to land high level talent in the QB room. You have to have depth and competition at that position or you can’t compete in today’s football. IMO he does fit Auburns scheme from the past, where he is a true dual threat player. Deuce and Walker can compete for years to see who the guy is after Payton/Hank

[@allenbonner9194]

​@@hrev2neptune256exactly

[@gamingdreams2142]

No he had a 53% completion rating. Barely passed for 2,000 yards and went 5-5. He does has potential and everyone is real excited about recruiting right now.
