To be honest.... I was completely wrong for even saying that. I haven't even been following their class this cycle to even know how they are doing in recruiting until this week. I really just said that out of jealousy because they just flipped two 5stars from the two biggest programs.

They're doing what I thought we were going to be doing this cycle. And I don't mean that as a shot to us, just saying.

*Edit: don't even mind this comment. I'm just jealous they're flipping 5star **** from the big boys.

It's a reasonable comment. UM should be doing the same. Everyone has a price.

They paid Gus Malzahn 80 million to kick rocks. Auburn been had money. Do y’all not remember they bought Cam Newton?

They’ve been playing the bag game for over 20 years that I know of first hand!

Robinson Therezie
I could go on and on. They will eventually make their way back into south Florida for a player or two.

Their boosters will spend whatever is needed to take down Saban.

You’re not wrong. Maybe the wording isn’t the best for not just your comment, but mine and others…and yet the fact of the matter is as of today, July 29th…our class is mid. It’s hard to argue otherwise. Auburn will jump us shortly with pretty much any commit (that’s the quality they’re working with) and yet have four less commits.

17th is what it’ll be. That’s not a good class as it stands, but thankfully we’re in it for a few other blue chips that hopefully pop soon. Three solid adds changes the hole trajectory from 17th to top 8, but for whatever reason, we haven’t locked down enough blue chips (YET). What that reason is…is up for interpretation. Money, whiffs, bad luck, losing games…seems to vary on the recruit or source I guess.

But look at the teams ahead of us and objectively say we should be and NEED TO BE ahead of at least 5-6 (arguably more) if we plan on continuing the talent acquisition train, enough of it to move towards relevance again and build on last year.

What is word over at WarChant?

I get it they can barely read or write, but we can do our best to interpret their monosylabic grunts.

Be patient Empy. Our spies have captured some footage in Tallahassee. We have our best codebreakers on it now trying to figure out if Doak is on fire or if their block is hot and got a verbal commitment today.

Yeah, the money shows up when they actually like their coach. Those boosters turn off the phones and turn on their coach quicker than anybody. But when they are backing them, they can buy any class they want. I mean at their best they would get some top eight top 12 type classes but Freeze knows how to play the game so they are definitely gonna steal some players from Bama in Georgia. He will be a pain in their ***.

Freeze is like Lane Kiffin if Kiffin was any good at coaching or recruiting
