2021 Recruiting

[THWUGA]

Are we actually pursuing anymore 2021 recruits or content with filling the rest of the roster through transfers given the relaxed rules around that for next season?

I’d imagine we are putting the roster model to work to figure out balance vs needed talent/experience especially at certain positions.

Didn’t Collins say we weren’t finished during the signing day press conference?
Don’t know if he was talking HS or transfers.

It's hard to get a handle on the numbers returning since 2020 was a gimme eligibility-wise. But it seems like we are easily over 85. Am I remembering that the 85 total was waived for next year?

Seniors from 2020 who return (Johnson, Riq) don’t count towards the 85 next year only.

At the least, I think players who would of used up their eligibility in 2020 won't count toward the 85. Not sure if there's anything more.

Sounds like he was gonna early enroll, but we aren't going to have room, so he has to wait.

It's not great but it's not the end of the world either. He's still got a spot and he's still coming to GT. His wording sounds like he's a little pissed about it.

I took the "Why NOT me?" to mean he isn't whining or feeling like a victim, but understands that it's just the way it goes sometimes.

What is the process to determine the totals? How do the totals change in May?

Can Tech kick a kicker off of the team to make room?

We’d try to kick them and it would be blocked...

That's how I took it as well.

Any chance of "Big Cat" Bryant or Newkirk landing on the flats? We need all the DL help we can get.

2 Auburn defensive linemen announce plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal

These two could get a lot of attention in the transfer portal.

Bryant's brother, Sirad, just signed with us. That could obviously work in our favor. I dunno what spots we are still looking to fill is the only thing.

They are big enough talents that I can't imagine passing on them if they can be convinced to come. I could see them having a much bigger impact than any portal transfer we've gotten thus far.
