They're missing so many players. And I think the Kiffin stuff is a huge distraction for them. For as many complaints as we've had for this team in recent weeks, the offense hasn't really been stopped. We've turned the over a lot, but we've been racking up yards. Defensively, I feel like we've...

The committee has already basically said they aren't bumping someone out of the CFP who played in conference championship game and was in the CFP before the game. Certainly the could change if Bama lost Ty Simpson to a season ending injury in the SECCG.

Players in high School pulling NIL are top recruits and typically have been considered top recruits for awhile. Not only that, but typically their NIL's are from national brands like Nike, Gatorade, Adidas, etc. No JUCO player has enough relevance to get a deal from a national brand and no JUCO...

No one in JUCO is pulling NIL.

I don't think you fully understand why they are getting these exceptions.

I do think it's easier to recruit at Auburn. But there are probably more expectations. As long as Drink keeps a floor of 7-5, Mizzu is gonna keep him around. I think Auburn has been humbled a bit with the Freeze performance combined with getting turned down by Kiffin last time.

DT is certainly the biggest need. I expect Heup and crew know that. We generally aren't shy about going after top guys at positions we think are thin/need an improvement. I think we pull one the top guys here. I'd like to see us a pull a good safety from the portal with experience. Jakobe...

While I somewhat agree, Hood was projected as CB3 when we got him and now he's on par with how good McCoy was.. Whether they are perceived as better doesn't much matter, though certainly you don't want NIL valuations to be an issue.

This would probably be the best possible scenario. I probably like Saleh or Flores the best of the candidates I've seen mentioned so far. If the Packers are dumb enough to fire LaFleur, he immediately becomes my favorite. And I've stated before, I would also be good with Mike McDaniel as the...

What does that have to do with whether or not the schedule is "brutal."

Jon Sumrall seems to be among the top choices so far. Auburn also has previous ties to Kenny Dillingham, but he's currently at his alma mater, and AZ State has a much easier path to the playoffs every year. I imagine it would take a substantial salary to make him move and I just don't know...

Texas supposedly is open to trading him (and Seagar too). Lopez wouldn't really factor in at all value wise, except for some off-setting money for us and giving Texas a SP option to replace DeGrom's spot in the rotation.

My prediction: We trade for Jacob DeGrom. Not sure the package that it will take, but I think we attach Lopez in the trade to help off-set a little salary.

I just don't think we're gonna spend that much on the QB position. We're probably already paying GMac a good bit and he'll likely want a bump this off-season as the only returning QB and "presumed starter." Faizon is probably getting a cool million (or potentially more). Are we really gonna go...
