This QB flip smacks of booster panic mode.
Through 5 games his team is 3-2, scored 13 points against Biloxi. As a Junior he completed 53.2% of his passes for 2,047 yards and 17 TD's.

In comparison Keelon Russell threw for 3,267 yards and 35 TD's last year while leading his team to the state championship in one of Texas' largest classifications.

Glad the barn has something to get excited about...

I think AUDub truly doesn’t like Freeze…but loves AU. It’s a crappy position to find himself in, but he’s trying to make the most of it…so he’s being an optimist. I truly think he’d trade Freeze in a heartbeat if it were up to him.
But would you go to a rival board and defend the sleazeball? If I felt that way, I would just lay low until he got run off...as we all know will eventually happen. :rolleyes:

Judging by his home board, he should spend more time there defending that slimeball.:cool:

Basing his defense of the reverened solely on his recruiting given the nature of NIL and portal transfers is really grasping for anything positive.:unsure:

On second thought, I will look at his posts a little differently from here on out... :D

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
One of the issues I see with the argument about "what Freeze was left with" is that I thought the majority of the current team was brought in by Freeze. Is that not correct?
One full class isn’t enough to plug all of the holes Auburn had. I don’t count 2023 because he came in so late and had to dig deep in the portal to field a competitive team at all. Right now building depth is still the most important item on the agenda.

He was left with almost nothing... maybe 25 or so D1 players who were field worthy as AuDub noted above. A bunch of not good players. I can't recall how they did with his first recruiting class, but average overall I think for the SEC. He brought in a bunch of mediocre portal guys, mostly G5 level guys. But... I don't really follow that closely so I could be way off.
Nah you pretty much got it.

No it doesn’t. Freeze really wants this one. He’s been on campus visiting to the point of absurdity lol.

That being said I preferred JuJu back at the beginning of the summer. He was one of the more “college ready” QBs in the class. but that kid’s recruitment has been a mess and he NILd himself out of the picture.

The evaluators aren’t all morons. He’s a unanimous top 5 QB in this class.

He’s more of a project but he’s a QB few coaches would refuse.

I would argue that you all are on about year 3 of that lost decade campaign as we speak. I know it is hard to see with all the shining optimism of what could be blinding you, but take a step back and smell the roses. It isn't getting any better any time soon on the Plains. In the grand scheme of things Aubarn is now a middle of the pack to just below SEC team with Oklahoma and Texas joining. Unfortunately for any current or future coach, the fans will never accept their mediocrity and they will continue to fire and hire thinking that they should be better than .500 but they just aren't.
Freeze is the only option to stop the skid now. Yes I’m not happy that the PTB settled on *Hugh Freeze* to be the guy to rebuild, but it is what it is. Firing him now would be yet another complete reset.

Again, though, there’s positive momentum in what he’s doing. The on the field product stinks, yeah, but it’s still too early to judge him on that.

Sleaze needs at least three, no four five years minimum before you can fairly evaluate his work.

Probably needs 10 just to be fair.
You can’t not give him 4-5 if he maintains this pace.

A Freeze class.

3 years of hauling in that kind of talent, you’re in playoff contention by default.

Whatever he’s telling these kids, it’s working.

I couldn't care less about Freeze OR Aubie posters on this board.
1. Does AuBarn have a football forum and why isn't he there?
2. I couldn't care less about an Aubie's feelings about his horrible coach!

There’s really only one Auburn poster on this board lol. Yeah I do have a home board, and I post there more than here. Probably two, if you count the chaos that is the SECRant.

And I get it. I’m not quite “universally” disliked here but I’m definitely always fighting an uphill battle. Doesn’t bother me. Such is being a rival poster in hostile territory lol.

Norte Dame fans were actually excited when he de committed. Most wanted the QB from Hawaii who's leaning Oregon at the moment.

No one is forcing you to read his posts. I have always liked his respectful attitude, and he knows a lot about football.
