With Frazzell, Bru and Thornton both coming back, and Staley and Mathews coming, I prefer
to give the big money to a top OL transfer. Don't put money on another WR unless
they come for peanuts, which Ala WR will not do.

This applies to the Ala TE also

I get what you are saying but I think the staff always wanted to take 3 HS WRs in this class

We’re not poor. We can land an OT in the portal and afford to get other players, too. It’s not an either or situation.

His recruiting did bring NCAA penalties didn't it?

It did but boy wasn’t he trying hard. Anyone who had DK and AJ as their starting receivers can recruit. I know he cheated but they all do. He just got caught. His mistake was beating Saban two years in a row. How dare him

He needs to talk to his fellow Saraland alum Velus Jones and hear what this offense did for him and what it was like being at UT.

You would think that would help.
What would really help is if any of our WRs start producing in the NFL that were coached by Heupel.

Jones had 20 yards receiving in 2023. 100 in 2022... :/
Hyatt and Jones both need a QB in their defense...

But the narrative that Heupel only makes good college WRs will remain until those guys start producing in the NFL.

As bad as this sounds. I was hoping we would get CHF. The guy is just a winner. He’s probably not going to win any morality awards but he can flat out coach and recruit. He will have AU competitive sooner rather than later.

They must be planning a move to the ACC then. Actually, I don’t think they’d win a high level in that conference either.

Not a fan of bringing in Bond and turning the lockerroom upside down when Squirrel could take a step forward next year. However if you want to throw some money at WR go get this kid and throw the bank at him. Instead of having a guy for a couple of years, go get Williams for at least three.

We surely need an oLineman. Butt maybe You're not familiar with this kid. He probably would have been the Top Overall player in 2025 had he stayed for his senior year.

Great return man
Great receiver
He's Elite at both

Kaleb Beasley - one of our 2024 DBs- did probably the best job against him...and he still have up 100 yards and 2 TDs to him.

He had 350 total yards and 3 TDs in their State Championship game against Squirrels old school.

Think Devin Hester, Percy Harvin, Desean Jackson type game breaking ability.

He would flourish in this offense.

This kid will eventually end up at Auburn or Alabama. Would love to have him but I would at least think we could contribute to him getting a decent paycheck. His talent is undeniable.

The other way of looking at your statement is that Heupel was able to take non-NFL talent and still get them into the NFL with some very lucrative NFL contracts.

The staff has always wanted 3+ WRs in this class due to how our numbers are going to look in 2025. Also Thornton will have been fully recruited over if you bring this guy in.

If this were to happen it would be very tough to not see Matthews and him be the 2nd to 3rd WRs coming off the bench to start the season.

No one on this team currently has earned anything. Bru is the closest one to that and he’s a question mark due to injury. Thornton, squirrel, etc all had chances to step up and be the guy, no one did. There was a lot of finger pointing at Milton but he threw a lot of catchable balls that ended up on the ground.

Doubt it. Sounds like they’re having a lot of culture issues. When Cadillac elects to leave, you know there’s a problem.

Not an insider and have no idea if this is 100% accurate, but heard it in a conversation from a guy that’s besties with an Auburn donor.

They forced Cadillac to resign to try and avoid a sex scandal. Time will tell, just relaying what I heard.
