Don’t know who he is , but if the transfer’s on D couldn’t get playing time on this D , then they aren’t very good.

And we just brought in a small army of defensive linemen. Best of luck to him. But healthy attrition.

And we need to bring in at least two immediate impact players with size for next season

Sorsby/Leavitt/Hoover are all on the same level as players. Leavitt is just the big one everyone latches onto bc he made the CFP

I feel ya. I like Leavitt better than both by a good bit. But it’s cool to disagree. I wouldn’t be mad about getting any of these guys tho to be clear.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Yup, if the staff thought he was ready they would’ve played him more

after watching our staff coach, esp end of half/game situations, I don't know if they would even recognize if a player was ready or not.

Fair question

Does a walk on even need the transfer portal? Someone help me wrap my mind around this.... Why would a kid walk on to a school when he had scholarship offers to other schools, get some playing time as a freshman, then transfer? I didn't even know the kid was on the team, but I'm having trouble understanding the scenario.

Got to go on the portal shelf so another team can pick you up if the price is right. Most going into the portal are looking for more money. And that's even if they would like to stay where there at . They just want more money a lot will not get more money and some may not even get a look.

Cheap QB like Barnett

2-3 DL
2 LBs (our LBs take the WORST angles)
2-3 guys in the secondary

Go play ****ing ball next year.

I’ve heard that the Auburn Eagle now plans to enter the transfer portal

 

[Weezer]

Two space-eaters. And two disruptors (like ONL was for us).

I wouldn’t say I WANT him to start, but wouldn’t be all that alarmed if he did. We went 10-2 with Nico starting as a RS freshman. I wasn’t impressed w nico at all and I don’t know why GMac couldn’t be at least as good or better. Now the defense may not be that lights out in Knowles first year like it was in 24.


I think some of y’all (and I’m not saying this in a derogatory way) have forgotten what college football is. There has always been turnover and it’s very normal to expect 2nd year guys to start. We have a long history of second or even first year guys starting.

I guess the porthole has changed perception, but I still think there is value in getting more playing time out of your own HS investments…. IF they are ready.

I’m not saying GMac is ready, but if the coaches think he is I wouldn’t be worried or opposed, other than depth concerns.

my concern with start gmac/brandon is that they probably won't have anywhere close to as good of a run game and defense that nico had to bail him out. i think the run game (with portal additon) and d can be good but we don't know that yet.

somehow they all need to learn how to play complimentary football

 

[VOLED]

Need 11 new players on defense

At least that many. I don’t see too many positions where we don’t need players. We got dominated by Vandy and Illinois.

On the LBs (and Safeties) and the angles they take. I agree. Is that talent, coaching, or scheme?

 

[JCVol00]

Cheap QB like Leavitt

5-6 DL

Im fine with 1 LB if we get a starter quality RB and improve at interior OL.

Honestly, fair point.

I’d be fine with this. We have young guys at LB that have looked alright.

 

[Blake25p]

I’ve been team Gilbert throughout the season but it’s time to add Kicker to the list of needs.

 

[ChiTownVol]

For the love of everything please get a new Kicker!

 

[jpope9]

Just give the checkbook to sign everyone available on defense

 

[Garren04]

Mestemaker making 3.5 next year whew

They have to replace Telander next season. I know the kid has a ton of heart and is a VFL but he just doesn’t have the speed to play in the SEC.
