Seen this on 247.

Miami is in a better position with offensive tackle Calvin Ashley than people think. Ashley is committed to Auburn, but the Hurricanes are continuing to pursue him and are his number two school. Miami will continue to recruit Ashley because Auburn is coming off a poor season and another poor season in 2016 may shake things up there.

This is auburn schedule.

Sept. 3: Clemson
Sept. 10: Arkansas State
Sept. 17: Texas A&M
Sept. 24: LSU
Oct. 1: ULM
Oct. 8: at Mississippi State
Oct. 15: Open
Oct. 22: Arkansas
Oct. 29: at Ole Miss
Nov. 5: Vanderbilt
Nov. 12: at Georgia
Nov. 19: Alabama A&M
Nov. 26: at Alabama

I see 6-6 with that schedule and they might be looking for a new coach if that happens.

Not to derail the thread, but I find it odd that SEC teams like Auburn can have down seasons leading to uncertainty in their coaching staff and still not be effected in recruiting at all.

Everyone gets affected by repeated bad seasons and the HC being on the hot seat. Auburn hasn't really had that many bad seasons in a row. They won a NC a few years ago and played for another one a couple years ago. No comparison to where they are and where we were at the end of the Folden disaster.
 
In my opinion, if he is going off Auburn's season next year, he's already ours cause I think they finish 5-7 in there division and we should win at least 9 games

This is two fold. 1. The SEC propaganda that if you play in the SEC you are guaranteed success and that its a whole different league of football quality. 2. If you think places like Auburn, Ole Miss, and Bama are playing by the rules you are naive to say the least.

Separate issue I would love to know is how do these kids that come from notoriously bad areas find the money to go on all these unofficial visits? I see sofla kids going on like 10 visits in the summer. And no not all of them are on high school team funded trips. And even if there hs/7on7 coach is paying for the trips wouldn't that be considered against NCAA rules as extra benefits. I think that is the biggest difference from now and even 5-10 yrs ago. Back then these sofla guys basically took there 5 officials and visited mia, fsu, and fl and thats it. Now they somehow have the resources to visit USC, Oregon, ND, OSU, Bama, Clemson, etc all within one summer.

That and they gave Malzhan an extension. It might have been the dreaded vote of confidence type we've seen around here with Folden and Coker but at the same time perception is that the seat has cooled.
 
Ashley or Leatherwood are the type of LT prospect we need to go along with Donaldson who I feel could be a mauler at RT.

They just extended Malzahn's contract to 2020 last week after having a down year, which generally means two things.

1. SEC coaches smell blood in the water and were using his potential firing as recruiting ammo.
2. Auburn restructured his contract to mitigate buyout cost if fired and or making his contract more "performance" based.

We did the same **** with Golden, extensions are generally meaningless.

Auburn will tank. That system had Chizick's recruits and Cam at the beginning. Malzahn hasn't been able to keep up and his offense ain't fooling anyone any more. Staff will flip this one with good season and influence from 2016 OL Johnson.
