Looking at Auburn's roster and scholarships...

2012 recruiting class
19 enrolled
10 left before fulfilling eligibility
3 players on 2016 roster

2013 recruiting class
23 enrolled
9 left before fulfilling eligibility
9 players on 2016 roster

2014 recruiting class
27 enrolled
9 left before fulfilling eligibility
Jakell Mitchell killed
16 players on 2016 roster

2015 recruiting class
28 enrolled
2 left before fulfilling eligibility
26 players on 2016 roster

2016 recruiting class
17 enrolled
4 signed letter of intent
1 on the way (Kameron Martin former Baylor commit)

Transfers
5 on the roster

Others
Former walk-on Aaron Garrison got scholarship

Assuming the four 2016 recruits waiting to enroll do so, I count Auburn having 82 scholarship players.

There are a few other players listed on the roster that could possibly be on scholarship. They aren't listed as recruits by 247, but they went to JUCO before going to Auburn.

Thanks for this summary! It seems they were likely forcing some kids out to make room for the new recruits, but then a few more players left than they were expecting. I don't see them that thin or young honestly, unless I'm missing something. They do seem to be filling some of the missing 2016 recruits with Transfers though, maybe by design. The transfers probably help in the short term, but they hurt in the long term as your senior leadership will suffer in a few years.

On the contrary, he has grossly over-estimated them. Any one who would hire Briles at this point has no moral compass.

The largest video board (college) in the USA and a play from a game 3 seasons ago.

What's next? Setting an attendance record at the Birmingham Bowl?

Seemingly suffering now.

At least the video board ensures that no one will miss any of Deshaun Watson's beautiful touchdown passes!!

Lord have mercy! The Gus has just said last year and 7-6 "wasn't that bad." I can't wait to go see the Aubs chew him a new one for that. What was he thinking? :eek2:

Well it looks as if the Aubies don't mind a 7-6 season being not that bad. No one has said a word. I guess maybe the B'ham bowl is their goal now.

Gus may be a better judge of talent than I thought.

From Duane Rankin in the Montgomery Advertiser this morning:

"Talk is cheap. Time for Malzahn to deliver on all the hot air he blew out Monday. I’ll be the first to applaud him if Auburn has a big year."

Gus could find himself in a tough situation. Les is on the hot seat, but he's on the hot seat with a very talented team and he always seems to find a way to right the ship when he has to. Gus is in a position where optimistically he finishes third in the SEC West and has 3 losses. Even with the bit of luck a season like that would entail, it is hard to imagine that Auburn fans will be happy with it.

Whoa. Someone was paying attention and he seems unimpressed also.

1-11 with the win coming over Bama.

If he didn't like Gus's stance on punishing those players who knows what his hot take will be on Saban and Cam and Hootie.

I`m going to assume that this is a joke.

The "hot air" is quickly leaking from the Barn balloon. I just don't see how Gus survives another lackluster year. Question: If he wins 9 games but losses to Clemson, Georgia and Bama is that even enough???

As an objective outsider and removing my crimson glasses, I see no reason to fire a coach who would end up losing to the 2 teams who were in last years championship game and Georgia. Those are all great teams. I can see Georgia being the "toughest" loss in the sense of a winnable game slipping through their fingers.

They lose to Clemson, LSU, Ole Miss, UGA, and Bama for sure. aTm and MS State might be losses too.
