Do we not have an unusually low number of recruits committed at this time? Seems we generally are a little further along at this time. It has been very quite lately. Wish we had a few more defensive recruits on board as well. Your thoughts?

I think this is about where we were last year. Some of the posters that track recruiting more closely may be able to tell you, but I also thought we would be a little further along at this point.

We had 9 commits this time last year. With the Hunter Siddons offer pull(don't really like this, but maybe this is done more than we think), we are at 9 commits now. Obviously, we are exactly the same as we were last year.

I think last year's recruiting class is the only one comparable since it was this coaching staff's full year to recruit.

I think things will end up alright, but then again, I thought we'd be fine every year for the last 5 years....

It is definitely time to start watching the recruiting game now that the quest for a bowl is done. And of course there is basketball..

As always, we need DT's and DE's and maybe a WR that can run a 4.1 and catch the ball. just like every other year.

Sorry, looking it up, it appears we have 10 commits...

I don't like the pulling of Siddon's offer either, but if a concussion kept him out all year, then there could be concern that this would happen again and could potentially end his career. My guess is that DMac doesn't believe the program is in a position to offer under these conditions.

A perfectly understandable and yet regrettable situation. I think the Boone Feldt situation has opened his eyes to this scenario where he has to more strongly consider offering someone who has been injury prone and/or on IR for their senior year.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
