Yeah that one is weird for sure.

for those not in the know on Judkins back story - Pike Road kid a hop skip from Auburn, totally ignored by Harsin and staff. Kid wanted AU, grew up AU. It really broke his heart not to get that offer or even contact. would love to add him but.....I dunno. If I were him, it would have to be an extreme "raise" to come to AU.

Snakebite can maybe provide more detail on the kid and his situation.

I'll do some askin' around.

as always TIFWIW but JGT on Rivals:

Unofficial Auburn folks heard from unofficial Judkins folks more than a month ago about a possible defection from Ole Miss. I believed the intel. I didn’t believe that Judkins was serious.

That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword. 😮

Tate doesn't typically post something he doesn't know to be true - AT THE TIME. That was a month ago so who knows.

2 things of note in re to the portalizer:

1. DL Durojaiye has arrived in Auburn for an official visit. Originally from Delaware, he signed with Kentucky out of high school before transferring to West Virginia.

2. Texas A&M DL Isaiah Raikes has concluded his official visit to Auburn. Declined an interview.


Number 2 would be substainly bigger news if a commit happened from either.

Isn't the timing here fucked, though?  No inter-conference transfer, missed the portal window (perhaps?)?

Lotta talk about it just be a negotiating tactic to leverage more NIL from OM.

McCready and Parham are saying it's philosophical and the bridge is burned. Who knows.

As far as interconfertnce xfer, last I saw that deadline is Feb 1st (for fall sports). And then another 2-3 week window opens in April post Spring Practice.

Doesn't make sense to me, but then, a lot of things don't.  Mr. Potato Head is gone. NIL $$$ is flowing, and U is obviously a great recruiter.  Seems like that bridge would have revolved around Bryman Hatpin and his disinterest.

I read that as a comment on his OM relationship.

Would love to have that guy because he's a warrior. 

That said.....  It doesn't matter if AU is lining up Barry Sanders and Walter Payton back there.  Just like it doesn't matter if  Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Michael Irvin, and Randy Moss all start at WR.

Got to have somebody to block and somebody who can throw it in their vicinity instead of curling up into a ball. 

Those things - to the best of my understanding - do not exist.

Nor does - at this point - the gameplanning acumen to effectively strategize their use.

This is where I am. Nothing would please me more than to see Freeze and co. gameplan better for opponents and make some necessary adjustments on the fly instead of appearing helpless as to what's taking place on the field and mostly waving a disgusted hand at officials for setbacks.

It's obvious to all that we were sapped of talent by the Hatpin regime but you can't just mail it in and afterwards start looking for ways to excuse the play on the field.


Not pretending to be any strategist but team's  short on talent have put their best on one side to at least find some success. Load up on the weakside and run it until they stop it and then switch to the strongside while using a quick game to at least make the defense "uncomfortable."



That's not being negative, it's being real.
Know they played their hearts out against our rivals but against the others... Freeze must do better, much better.


All said I'm happy with recruiting. Incredible job considering where we were  with high schools. No denying that.


Just can't roll with the sunshine pumping but should he assemble the parts and get them prepared I will give the man his due, even in defeat.
