Caleb then jumps in to discuss the Tigers' newest commit, DE Nate Marshall from Illinois, who was a FLIPPER from Michigan. How did this one go down? And who could be next? Caleb will have his eyes on two guys this weekend.
The show ends with a fanciful supply of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on a MASSIVE news dump from Hugh Freeze during "Tiger Talk" on Monday night.
He said Hank Brown will be the team's QB2. He said D-Wade is moving back to tackle and will replace Percy Lewis, who is now moving inside. That unexpected. The guys also discuss injuries to Keionte Scott and Austin Keys — two of the squad's most important defensive players.
Will this new offensive braintrust actually yield more points per game this fall? The guys have opinions.
Caleb, in absentia, passes along some interesting things on consider on the recruiting front while Sir Henry breaks down the Fightin' Pearls' draw in the Maui Invitational. That event is LOADED with top teams this season.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the BIG (WEEKEND) SCRIMMAGE and the Tigers' second week of fall camp.
The offense was just so-so in the scrimmage. Is that a big deal? Not really. Plus, the young wideouts really were terrific and the defense, well, it played well — at least the first- and second-team guys — from start to finish.
All in all, that's what you'd expect at this stage.
We're starting to get a picture of which "new" players are in the mix for increased roles this season — Antonio Kite, Malik Blocton, Perry Thompson, Cam Coleman. Also, the competition behind Payton Thorne seems a little closer than expected.
Caleb breaks down the latest with Mississippi quarterback Deuce Knight and a few other Magnolia State prospects who are tight with Knight. Dominoes falling? Possibly.
The show ends with a Santa bag chock full o'salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company in Auburn to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the FIRST WEEK OF (FALL) PRACTICE.
It's early. They're not even in full pads yet. Still, it's becoming clear that the freshman wideouts are a special group and that a somewhat forgotten interior OL is making a bit of a splash so far.
Bottom line: Is this all going to help Payton Thorne be better this season? Or will he be best?
The staff deliberates these questions.
Auburn added three more commits since our last show. Caleb is here to get you up to date on those happenings while also getting folks prepared for potential flips from Deuce Knight (Notre Dame) and Na'eem Offord (Ohio State) in the coming days or weeks.
The 2025 and '26 classes are getting really, really nasty.
B-Matt provides a baseball update late followed by some hoops talk. Bruce Pearl's schedule this season will be GRUELING — even if his team really is as good as it seems.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company in Auburn to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on BIG CAT WEEKEND.
Or should we call it THE BIGGEST CAT WEEKEND?
Auburn used its premier recruiting event of the year to land EIGHT commits — including a number of four-star players on the precipice of a jump to five-star status. There was a little bit of everything: Two Alabama flips, a franchise safety, a franchise cornerback, two outstanding young edge defenders plus a linebacker and a punter.
Hugh Freeze is FILLIN' UP THE GROCERY BAG. Metaphrorically, of course.
The guys then take a look at who could be next. That group includes an outstanding defensive end making his pick later this week plus a pair of players on the OFFICIAL B-Matt "Flip Watch." So exciting.
The show ends with a concise supply of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on our views of the football team's strengths and weaknesses heading into the 2024 season.
What's interesting is that we had five panelists and four different answers on weaknesses. Could that be a good thing?
We also break down the pressure on Hugh Freeze. He's definitely not on the hot seat, but a poor season this fall could put him on a hot seat. It's time for substantive progress on the field. Let's be real about it.
Caleb then breaks down seven key Big Cat Weekend attendees and considers which schools they are likely to choose. Many of them, Caleb and B-Matt feel, will end up playing for the Auburn Tigers. This is good news.
The show ends with a 55-gallon drum full of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the team's appearance at SEC Media Days.
Pressing? Oh yeah. Hugh Freeze discussed several items of interest — including an odd approach toward play-calling-by-committee, his percentage of time devoted toward coaching and his inability (or unwillingness) to change how he approached recruiting in the NIL age.
Is he a dinosaur or a principled cat in a shady world? It's really up to each person to decide.
Caleb and B-Matt then jump in to discuss football recruiting, which is set to hit a crescendo during the next two weeks after a relatively slow month. Big Cat Weekend is one week away and several top targets are on commit watch or flip watch. This should be an exciting time for Auburn recruiting.
The show ends with a stash of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which centers around John Cohen's decision to build a 70% side replica of Big Vision in the north end zone of Jordan-Hare.
Why? We don't really know. We have questions.
The guys also review Hugh Freeze's choices for player reps at Media Days. Also, what will reporters be asking the Tigers during their trip to Dallas next week? It's relatively easy to predict. So we did.
Caleb breaks down a fine week of recruiting (two commitments) after a tough week in late June. A pair of important targets will be making decisions before long. Who? He will tell you!
What's going on with JuJu Lewis? Is he off the board? Not entirely, but we think the five-star's window of opportunity at Auburn may have passed. How can that happen? We explain.
The show ends with a glamorous grouping of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which centers almost wholly on a difficult week of football recruiting.
Auburn lost a pair of commits plus three previously uncommitted players who ended up choosing rival schools. Those troubles elicited concerns in many corners of the Auburn world, but Caleb and B-Matt take time to explain the reasons/challenges behind these setbacks. In fact, B-Matt thinks two of these developments will turn around in time.
The Tigers also added a top-tier tailback in Alvin Henderson from Elba, Ala., and appears set to add more talent this week. So it all (probably) works out in the end.
Caleb adds some thoughts on wideout Caleb Cunningham and quarterback Julian "JuJu" Lewis — two highly coveted players the Tigers are chasing.
Henry discusses the basketball team's riches at the two guards positions, B-Matt identifies a few more LHP targets for Buth Thompson.
The show ends with a double delivery of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Auburn played host to 12 official visitors last weekend — with the teem's newest commit, safety Eric Winters, in tow as well. It's been a remarkable month from a recruiting perspective. Caleb and B-Matt provide some sharp analysis about what's happened and what's to come.
The crew also dicusses the basketball team's trip to Duke for the SEC-ACC Challenge, Butch Thompson's seven portal additions and thoughts on Auburn's new softball coaches. Can they get it done? Lettuce discuss.
The show ends with a data-center sized load of electric salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which centers almost wholly on the slew of football visitors seen on campus these past few days. Every few days, it seems, there are more.
And they're almost all high-profile guys.
Caleb reviews the quick courtship between Auburn and its newest commit, Bryce Deas. Caleb and Bryan and Henry spend a good 20 minutes recounting all eight official visits from last weekend and look ahead to more both in the mid-week window and next weekend. It's a busy time.
Henry passes along some insights from the basketball team's first summer practice while Bryan reviews a pretty busy week in the Auburn baseball portal.
The show ends with an array of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Caleb and B-Matt go player-by-player from the OV guest list from Sunday and offer insights into each guy. Yes, there are a few on commit watch and a few more who are likely to land at Auburn. Recruiting, in general, is going well.
The guys also discuss some news with Class of 2026 guys, who already are working to pare down their choices.
Men's golf won a NATIONAL TITLE last week. Stultzy reviews how that happened and why Nick Clinard may not be finished adding hardware on the Plains.
The show ends with a tasty array of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the football program starting Camp and Visit Season.
Caleb is in Germany competing, but he passes along a disptch rounding up an interesting couple weeks on the recruiting front. That includes a new commit and three official visitors. B-Matt then looks ahead at the coming weekend, which is expected to feature seven official visitors — including a few on commit watch.
The guy discuss the basketball team's latest (and probably final) portal addition, who comes into the program from Georgia Tech to add some punch to the Tigers' perimeter shooting.
Men's golf is in the Final Four and Stultzy gets us up to date on Nick Clinard's team. The women's team lost to Stanford in the Elite Eight.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the football program playing host (potentially) to a trio of visitors.
One of them is a coveted tailback. He's a Tier I guy, but is he the guy Auburn wants? Caleb discusses.
Basketball also is playing host — bringing Texas forward Dillon Mitchell to the Plains for a visit and chats about how Auburn can mae him better. And how he can make Auburn better.
Auburn needs another big man.
Stultzy adds his thoughts on the Tigers' successes on the links. The men are in Baton Rouge aiming for a spot in the Championships. The Auburn women already have captured their regional title and will begin Championship play Friday in California.
Baseball won a series! Isn't that grand? Softball lost in 14 innings to Georgia in the SECs, but still earned a spot in the Tallahassee Regional to begin Friday.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the Tigers adding another portal OL and a high-school LB.
They are both positions of needs, so those changes are augmentative.
The high-school LB, Tyler Lockhart from Winona, Miss., committed at 10 p.m. on a Monday. What's that all about? Caleb has ideas.
Bruce Pearl is bringing in a pair of coveted portal targets — one combo guard and one power forward — who could turn this excellent roter into an epic roster. What do we know about these guys? They're good. We know that.
Stultzy adds his thoughts on the Tigers' successes on the links while B-Matt and Jay G. break down the most recent results on the various diamonds.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the Tigers landing a KEY PORTAL TRANSFER in (former) Penn State wideout KeAndre Lambert-Smith.
What does his arrival do for the wideout room? Payton Thorne? The team? Potentially a whole lot.
Auburn now has added four players via the spring portal and has lost four via the spring portal? It's not a wash. The Tigers have cleaned up.
Caleb checks in with Thompson HS safety Anquon Feagans, the guys discuss players still on Bruce Pearl's radar, Stultzy explains the brilliance behind the Tigers' SEC title in men's golf while we discuss (again) why things have gotten so bad so quickly with both baseball and softball.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on several football comings and goings via the transfer portal.
The DL has been solidified in a big way with the addition of three portal transfers. Might Auburn be able to add the WR from Penn State as well? That would be useful.
Caleb interviewed several impact recruits during the Rivals Camp in Atlanta last weekend — incluing the nation's top overall player JuJu Lewis from California. He's definitely interested in the Tigers.
Johni Broome is back for another season with the basketball team, which is a massive development. This roster already looks sick — and it still has a chance to get sicker.
Baseball looks finished. Softball is next-to-last in the standings. Not a great year on the diamonds.

Brenton Williams already is headed out. What will Auburn look to add this time? Looks like the emphasis will be on the DL and at WR. Cannot rule out a QB, though.
Basketball has been busy this week — with a point guard arriving and another leaving. Is BP preparing to basically run it back?
Softball had a good weekend. Baseball did not. It's looking dire for the Fightin' Butches.

Jay G. Tate returns as host for a rare, unfiltered discussion with several Bunker legends who made the trip down to Orange Beach for the Bunker Beach Retreat.
Bunker luminaries on the mic include our festival host @chip chip plus appearances from @NumberNineteen @NumberTwenty @WarTiger6 @Mobilealum @Hornacious ... with some yells and other re-directs from @AdministrativeAssistant.
We discuss football, football recruiting, basketball and some other stuff — all from an Auburn perspective. Auburn folks want answers! And we attempt to give them some.
As always, our show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company. Check them out at one of their great locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Las Vegas, Florence and Charlotte. Coming soon to an area near you!
Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primary deals with a NEW APPAREL PARTNERSHIP with NIKE!
When does this start? What does this mean for the bottom line?
The Guys also review an A-Day practice that B-Matt judged as the most exciting he's seen. That's praise. He also offers his ideas about what could happen from a portal perspective during the next 2+ weeks.
Defensive end Amaris Williams then stops by to say hello to Auburn fans!
Football recruiting? Trending up. Caleb breaks down three players who could be the next to commit to the Tigers.
Basketball recruiting (via the portal) appears to be going well, though that's more needed than ever now that Aden Holloway and Tre Donaldson both are in the portal.
Baseball is languishing a bit — with postseason hopes already on the rocks. Softball is in the same boat.
The show ends with a delicious arrangement of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which at this stage includes a spring football crescendo.
There are only a few days left before A-Day! What have we learned? And which players have made the biggest impact so far? Lettuce discuss.
The Guys then move on to football recruiting, which is going well with dozens of four- and five-star recruits having visited lately or planning to visit for A-Day.
Basketball? KD Johnson is out. Bruce Pearl held an interesting press conference to defend himself and his players from criticsm after the Yale loss. Is that warranted? Who is actually mad at Bruce?
Bryan then talks baseball, which is 1-8 in league play yet is not a bad team at all. Softball? Hmm. They're 3-9 in league play, but they may actually be bad. Mickey Dean is on his way out, though, so that's interesting.
The show ends with a tightly curated array of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at the (old) athletics complex to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which includes a crushing basketball defeat at the hands of Yale.
First, though, we open with some chatter about Auburn's work so far in spring football. Caleb then jumps in to highlight six recruits who have visited campus of late — including an impactful quarterback who seems to really like the Tigers.
The guys then delve into the Tigers' tough loss to Yale and what it means going forward. What happens to this roster? How do they augment it? What will they do at point guard?
There are so many questions.
The guys also review a generally unfun week on the diamonds.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at Voodoo to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which includes yet another SEC championship for Bruce Pearl.
First, though, we open with some chatter from Auburn's second week of spring football practice and a pretty thorough recruiting synopsis from Caleb and B-Matt.
It was quite a weekend for recruiting. B-Matt, the wily vet, explains why there was more to it than meets the eye.
The guys then delve into the Tigers' SEC (Tournament) championship, which included three wins in Nashville. Why didn't that improve Auburn's seed in the NCAA Tournament? Strange days, indeed.
Still, Pearl's team looks like a serious contender.
Coach Johnnie's team made the tournament as well — and will play Thursday night in Storrs, Conn.
It was a difficult weekend on the basepaths for Auburn. This coming weekend won't be any easier.
The show ends with a small-yet-potent gaggle of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. It's only been a few days since our last show, but the Bunker Never Stops Giving.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at Voodoo to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which includes the first week of spring football and the end of Auburn's Under Armour era?
Spring ball resumes Tuesday (today), so what will we be looking for? Quarterbacks, of course. It's always quarterbacks. There are some other guys worthy of regard, too.
Apparel deal? Auburn is closing in on a deal with Nike, but don't get ready to buy those new Bo Barkey Big Hurt Jordan XIIs just yet. The university's deal with Under Armour runs through June 2025.
The guys also take a look back at Bruce Pearl's entire regular season of work and marvel at the progress shown in several areas. This team's new-found ability to work inside-out may be a game change. B-Matt has raised his expectations as a result.
Coach Jonnie's girls are on the NCAA Tournament bubble, but Caleb thinks they're in.
Baseball had a mostly successful weekend while softball struggled a bit more. Sunday events were good on both fronts, however.
The show ends with a juicy slab of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. It's only been a few days since our last show, but the Bunker Never Stops Giving.

Bryan Matthews and Jay G. Tate reconvene over the Internet to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which includes the first week of spring football and exciting times for basketball.
Auburn began spring ball last week before taking this week off for spring break. B-Matt says he's already hearing some good things about Too Tall Miller while Jay G. heard some positive chatter about both Cam Coleman and Keldric Faulk.
Ont the basketball tip, Bruce Pearl's team has won two in a row (including a road win at Mizzou) and now faces Georgia in the regular-season finale. It sure looks like the Tigers have a really good shot at landing a top-four seed and the early-round bye that accompanies it.
B-Matt really likes what Auburn's point guards have been doing throughout these past four games.
Coach Johnnie's team is kicking, too, with an 8-8 league record and a tournament game against Arkansas ahead. Win that and it's almost certain that the Auburn women will be in the Big Dance. (They've probably done enough already, but why leave anything to chance?)
Baseball is playing pretty well, though the team will be without Josephy Gonzalez this weekend. B-Matt explains why.
Softball? Maddie Penta sure is good. The bats are not. The team plays at Mizzou this weekend.
The show ends with a relatively modest array of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. There's only two guys on the show this week, after all.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which includes the opening of spring football!
(We all love football.)
Who are some newcomers to watch? Who will win the QB1 job? Will we even get answers during the next six weeks? We discuss it all.
The Fightin' Pearls earned a huge win at Georgia last weekend. What does that perofmance mean for the immediate future of Aden Holloway? Did he turn a corner? There is no debate about this: A win in Knoxville would provide a major boost to the Tigers' title hopes.
Coach Johnnie's girls have a real chance to hit 8-8 in league play this weekend! That's a long way from 0-16.
B-Matt and Stultzy break down a generally successful weekend on the baseball diamond. The one loss was a quality loss. Butch's team looks good. Softball? Less so.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers largely on the hire of Vontrall King-Williams as defensive line coach.
He's been here, he's popular with players and Hugh Freeze trusts him? So why is The Bunker so skeptical of the guy? We dig into that curious phenomenon.
The guys also discuss "new" commit Hollis Davidson (we haven't done a show in a few weeks) and Mississippi wideout Caleb Cunningham scheduling another trip to the Plains.
Basketball? It's been up and down lately, but at least Jaylin Williams is going to be OK.
Baseball swept Eastern Kentucky to open the season. It now travels to Florida to play some top competition.
Softball is OK.
The show ends with a considerably supply of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on the third Junior Day of the 2024 recruiting cycle.
Auburn essntially split up its Junior Day into three separate sessions with an eye on getting each player more one-on-one time with coaches. Recruits seemed to enjoy that. And the caliber of recruits who made at least one trip to the Plains during this event window was high. Very high.
How many of these kids are on commit watch? Caleb says "several."
The guys also discuss the loss of defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett to the NFL.
The Fightin Pearls are back on the winning track after securing DUBS at home against Vanderbilt and at Ole Miss. What do those games tell us about this team's chances against Alabama and Florida this week?
The show ends with a plentiful supply of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on the hire of DJ Durkin onto the defensive staff.
Auburn had four coaches leave this offseason. Now four have been hired — Durkin, Charles Kelly, Derrick Nix and Kent Austin. Is that an overall upgrade? Bryan thinks so.
Will Redmond coming in from LSU signals a change within the program. What does a General Manager actually do? Let's discuss.
Caleb recaps a conversation/interview he recently held with Elba (Ala.) HS tailback Alvin Henderson.
The Fightin' Pearls have lost back-to-back road games. Is it time to panic? Henry says NO SIR. A mid-week game at home against Vanderbilt could a real salve.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on the hire of assistant coach Derrick Nix and the pursuit of one more assistant coach.
Will it be DJ Durkin? Will it be Chris Kiffin? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
Auburn's second Junior Day in as many weekends was a success. Caleb runs down the latest feedback from the latest crop of visitors, which included the No. 1 quarterback for the 2025 class plus several impactful four-stars.
Bruce Pearl's team has been playing terrific basketball, but the Tigers will face more difficult challenges this week with road games at Alabama and Mississippi State. What can we expect? What should we expect? There is a difference.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on two surprise resignations and Hugh Freeze's effort (so far) to replace them.
Auburn still needs at least a co-offensive coordinator and a co-defensive coordinator. Who is in the running to claim those jobs. The team also needs someone to coach tailbacks now that Carnell Williams is gone.
Auburn added Jerrin Thompson out of the portal. The former Texas free safety should be a plug-and-play guy for the Tigers next fall.
The first Junior Day of 2024 was a success. Caleb gives you updates on OL Dontrell Glover, DE Zion Grady, LV Eric Winters, WR Derick Smith, OL Mal Waldrep and OL Tavaris Dice.
The Fightin' Pearls are playing some GREAT ball right now after a win over LSU and ahead of the trip to an icy Nashville to face off with Jerry Stackhouse's Vanderbilt Commodores. What are we to make of the team's wobbly second half against the Tigers?
Also, Coach Johnnie's team got a MASSIVE win against LSU as well — ending the Bayou Bengals' 16-game win streak in the process.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on personnel comings and goings since the bowl game.
Hugh Freeze has jettisoned both coordinators and now finds himself prepared to call plays again — after choosing to focus on recruiting last fall. What is his plan on offense? And who makes sense on the defensive side of the ball?
Fifteen players from the Tigers Early Signing Day class already are on campus and will begin Winter Workouts later this week. Isn't that something? Several portal transfers are on campus as well.
What should we expect from the Tigers' latest portal targets?
Auburn basketball has been HEATING UP of late — demolishing Arkansas and then grinding out a really nice win against Texas A&M on Tuesday. Just how good is this team? We're starting to think the Final Four is a real option here.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene over the Internet to discuss the important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on bowl prep and a memorable recruiting crescendo as the Early Signing Day hit.
Auburn didn't lose any important recruits and in fact flipped one (DL Amaris Williams) from Florida. The Tigers also snatched OL Favour Edwin from the claws of Alabama and Florida 12 hours after the ESD window opened.
Overall, this is a very strong showing for Hugh Freeze and his staff after their first full year on the recruiting trail. Pre-eminent classes at both linebacker and wideout show that these coaches understand how to augment a roster throughtfully and assuredly.
The Fightin' Pearls are 9-2 and look very strong heading into their final two non-con games before SEC plays starts at Arkansas on Jan. 6th. Of note, the team's free-throw shooting has improved dramatically while backup center Dylan Cardwell may finally be blossoming into a two-way player who doesn't foul every 90 seconds.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on what's expected to happen from an Auburn perspective on signing day Wednesday.
We know it's going to be a day when Auburn consummates its first really good signing class in many years, but there still are some questions?
- Will LJ McCray flip?
- Will Amaris Williams flip?
- Will KJ Bolden flip?
- What is Coen Echols thinking?
- What about Favour Edwin?
Caleb answers all that and more during a 25-minute recruiting segment. He also reviews what was a pretty busy weekend in terms of portal visitors.
The guys then review what's been a BUSY week on the football side — players opting out, a few players opting in, the 2024 schedule drop, bowl practice and Freeze's admission that he's building around Payton Thorne and not looking to replace him.
The topic then turns to basketball, where the Fightin' Pearls earned a big win over Southern Cal and really look like a team that can challenge for an SEC title. This team has tons of depth. Is it possible to have too much depth?
The show ends with a massive conglomeration of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on BIG CHANGES underway on the football side of things.
Four more Auburn players have entered the portal while several players from other schools have visited. One, wideout Robert Lewis from Georgia State, already has committed to play at Auburn beginning next season. The Tigers also added JUCO offensive lineman Seth Wilfred on Monday, though he's not a portal guy.
Will Hugh Freeze actually stand pat at quarterback? He says he's good with Payton Thorne, but we're sure he's keeping his eyes open as the portal continues to populate.
Five-star wideout Ryan Williams from Saraland, Ala., has announced plans to re-classify to the Class of 2024. He's still an Alabama commit as of this hour, but can the Tigers flip him? Caleb still isn't sure how to read this one.
Auburn top portal target along the offensive line, Fernando Carmona from San Jose State, will be here this weekend. Who else will be making the trip?
The guys also break down the Tigers' HUGE vict'ry over the Indiana Hoosiers in basketball and look ahead to games against UNC Asheville and Southern Cal this week.
The show ends with a 55-gallon drum full of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on how the initial waves of Transfer Portal activity has affected the Tigers' football roster.
Six players have declared their intention to transfer. Auburn has at least 10 offers out to other players, perhaps more by the time you listen to this show. The Tigers seem to be focusing their efforts on offensive line and defensive line so far.
Cam Coleman flipped from Texas A&M and then earned his fifth star, bumping the Tigers to No. 10 in the latest Rivals team rankings. That was a serious heist — and one that may set the tone for a strong finish to this class.
Crime McGriff is back on the recruiting trail, which is a good thing for Auburn. Is he going to remain in this role or can he help the program more in a different capacity?
The Fightin' Pearls lost a tough one at Appalachian State last weekend. What did that loss tell us about the ball club? What are the most pressing issues? And is Denver Jones having a terrible start or does it just seem that way?

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' stinging loss in the Iron Bowl.
We're not here to re-litigate the fourth-quarter follies, but we go back through them briefly before taking a look at what comes next for this football program. It's time to take stock of what helps make the Tigers better in 2024 and add what's missing and cut what isn't needed.
That sounds cutthroat, but college football is a cutthroat world these days.
Caleb and B-Matt recap what was a very busy weekend from a recruiting perspective. They review the eight biggest visitors and make some predictions about what happens during the next three weeks. The early signing period begins soon.
The guys also discuss the Fightin' Pearls, who have games against Virginia Tech and Appalachian State this weekend.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' troubling loss on the football field.
New Mexico State? Twenty-one points? Seriously?
Yeah, it happened. The Iron Bowl still will be played Saturday and Auburn can win the game. What will it take? A massive effort. Is this team capable of putting together a massive effort in its current state? We have theories.
Why does Hugh Freeze look sullen? Stultz thinks it's "merely" disappointment.
Caleb gets us up to speed on some recruiting situations — most notably the Tigers' efforts to flip both Cam Coleman (from Texas A&M) and Ryan Williams (from Alabama).
The Fightin' Pearls are 3-1 after a pair of straightforward wins in New York. Bruce Pearl is giddy about his depth and why shouldn't he be? This team has a lot of players. Alabama A&M awaits Tuesday.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers extending their three-game win streak at Arkansas.
What a performance! The Hogs were toast within five minutes and the home fans were beside themselves. It was a moment of exhiliration for Hugh Freeze, who finally saw his team dominate an opponent in all three phases.
So what now? Let me tell you what now. Auburn plays a pretty good New Mexico State team that has won eight games for the first time since the 1960s. Is this team good enough to beat Auburn? Probably not, but looking ahead to the Iron Bowl is not adviseable.
There are more questions: • Is Payton Thorne actually good now? • What does Auburn's strong work in the 2025 recruiting class mean moving forward? • Which one of the Tigers' latest commits has Caleb thinking BIG? • What did we learn from the Fightin' Pearls' loss to Baylor?
Auburn basketball plays Notre Dame on Thursday night followed by a game against Oklahoma State or St. Bonaventure on Friday.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' second conference win at Vandy — and what it told us.
The biggest thing is that Hugh Freeze is calling plays again! But how many plays? It's a secret. Brian Stultz thinks it's 50-60 percent. Freeze also says he's "helping" to make defensive calls on third down and maybe inside the red zone. Not bad!
Can Payton Thorne continue his (reasonably) prolific ways? He's had a good two weeks. That's better than zero good weeks. He'll need to be that guy if Auburn is to win this weekend in Fayetteville.
Caleb had a chance to watch two Auburn commits play against each other — and watched a coeveted target play as well. How did that go? What does he think about Phat Burnette's de-commitment?
Auburn hoops opens its regular season Tuesday night against Baylor. BP has a good team. Yes, he does.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' first conference win of the season.
The guys also discuss Hugh Freeze's mini rant from his Monday press conference addressing the misconception (at least from his perspective) that the offense wasn't sufficiently aggressive during the second half against Mississippi State. Does he have a point?
Also of note is Payton Thorne's pretty amazing game (20-of-26 for 230 yards and three touchdowns) and what led to that. Freeze made it pretty clear that he put his foot down and make irrevocable changes to what the offense would do against MSU.
Caleb provides an update on a few key 2025 recruits who made the trip to Auburn for the game last weekend. Henry then updates us on a pair of basketball recruits who are taking a liking to the Tigers — including a 2024 power forward who is planning to make a decision next week.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on what Hugh Freeze had to say after the stinging home loss to Ole Miss.
The quarterback situation couldn't be a bigger mess, but Freeze seems dead-set on rotating both Payton Thorne and Robby Ashford. How does that make sense? B-Matt tries to make sense of it. Also, why does Freeze allow himself to be off-kilter from Philip Montgomery?
Does the losing affect recruiting? Caleb thinks it might in a few cases, but that the vast majority of recruits with whom Auburn already has connected have heard the chatter from Freeze himself that Auburn needs more playmakers. In that sense, losing simply reinforces what Auburn has been saying all along.
Aden Holloway and Tre Donaldson were stand-out performers during the open practice/scrimmage before the Ole Miss game last weekend. If point-guard play is excellent this season, and that's a big IF, this team can be really, really good.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on what Hugh Freeze had to say after the 30-point loss at LSU.
He seems genuinely shocked at how badly this offense is performing. Can this be solved? Well, maybe solved isn't the right word. Can this situation be improved? We're getting skeptical. Is this coaching staff willing to do what it takes to score more points? Or will they approach things with pre-conceived notions about how it's supposed to look?
The guys also dive into injuries, tempo, "saving the defense" and other football topics of intrigue.
The Pro Day (basketball) scrimmage also is a hot topic. The guys recap what they saw inside Neville Arena last week and ponder this team's ceiling. It's reasonably high. They have shooters. They made need a few more defenders.
The show winds down as is customary with a buffet of shoutouts and commendations after a terrific week on The Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on what Hugh Freeze had to say during his Monday press conference.
Did he give us some ideas about what they'll be doing in Baton Rouge? HE DID. Freeze said he wants to shorten the game and limit LSU's possessions (and touchdowns), which will require a strong ground game and sharp calls/execution on third down. Is that doable? We're not sure.
Freeze also said he wants to see the offense operate more in line with what the players can actually do well. That seemed like a shot — and not the first — at offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery. Is trouble brewing?
Freeze had some really nice things to say about Jaylin Simpson and Marcus Harris, who have been straight BALLIN' this season. Simpson is exepcted to return for the LSU game after coming out of the Georgia loss.
The Ole Miss game will kick at 6 o'clock. This is good news.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' home loss to No. 1 Georgia over the weekend.
The offense actually made sense, which is surprising after the mess we saw at A&M, and ended up gaining 200+ yards on UGA. Payton Thorne looked like he understood what to do. Jarquez Hunter and Brian Battie were strong. The offensive line was better. Is Hugh Freeze finally getting things sorted on this side of the ball?
Jaylin Simpson had himself a day and the Tigers created more turnovers. Is Ron Roberts the most valuable assistant from a coaching perspective? Jay G. may be an outlier on that.
Caleb and Henry get us up to speed after a MASSIVE weekend of recruiting visits — official and unofficial. This might be a great time to flip a 6-foot-1 nickel who can cover tight ends, right?
Henry also gets us up to speed on basketball recruiting while Stultzy shares some good news from the baseball diamond.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' loss at Texas A&M and the shockingly poor play from the offense.
How in the world is Hugh Freeze going to create order from this level of chaos? It sure sounds like the Tigers are going to stick with Payton Thorne for now, which seems like an insane idea. The transfer quarterback was terrible against A&M and seems confused about how to read a defense. But does Robby Ashford or even Holden Geriner provide something better than what Thorne brings?
Are Freeze and Philip Montgomery on the same page?
Why can't Freeze call plays? Why is he so reticent?
Is the run game actually working?
Is Asante out here killing it when Pro Football Focus keeps giving him the lowest grade on defense?
So many questions. We do our best to provide answers!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' win over Samford and the state of the team heading into College Station.
Quarterback Payton Thorne was at his very best against Samford. The transfer from Michigan State accounted for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns, but can he replicate that kind of effectiveness against the Southeastern Conference? The guys think it's more about this offensive line and this run game than anything the quarterback can or cannot do.
How about the defense? They've created seven takeaways, which is tied for the league lead, and have been at least solid against both the pass and the run. With nickel Keionte Scott out for the foreseeable future, however, can the Tigers' defense remain this stingy an opportunitistic?
Caleb reviews his road trips to see commits Bryce Cain and Perry Thompson down south, his trip to Parker High School in Birmingham to see targets Jeremiah Beamon, Na'eem Offord and Jourdin Crawford.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' 14-10 win at Cal.
What in the world was that. A win is a win, of course, but the Auburn masses were (and are) stupefied by the team's inability to make meaningful, in-game improvements from an offensive perspective. Bryan thinks the quarterback conundrum actually is a symptom of a bigger problem. Why is Hugh Freeze so adamant that Robby Ashford get a certain number of touches per game?
The defense? Excellent. Ron Roberts, Eugene Asante and Donovan Kaufman have been revelations. Can the Tigers' defense continue to build from here? We think it's possible.
Auburn basketball is set up to host a pair of five-star wings during the next month, which is a big development.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' 59-14 victory over the UMass Minutemen.
It's a fine margin of victory, but several elements of the game seemed to irk coach Hugh Freeze. We tend to agree with his fussiness, though we speak more about run defense and he speaks more about missed connections on offense. Robby Ashford carved out a nice role last week with three red-zone touchdowns. Can he maintain that level of productivity moving forward? And how quickly should we expect improvement from Payton Thorne?
The Tigers' depth at tailback is amazing. Has it ever been this good?
Auburn added a pair of new commits this week — one for the '24 class and one for the '25 class — and the guys talk about both of them in addition to current commit Malik Autry garnering some serious attention from Alabama, Georgia, Florida and LSU.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the second scrimmage and what it means going forward.
The quarterback situation is settled with Payton Thorne in the top spot. Auburn's situation at tailback is deep and talented. The offensive line's run-block ability looks very strong. We know the Tigers will be running the ball plenty, but how much of a weapon can/will the pass game become?
Is the offense's ability to run the football Saturday indicative of problems along the defensive front? Bryan has some ideas about that.
Jakaleb Faulk became the Tigers' second commit of the 2025 cycle on Monday. How did Auburn manage to pull this one off? Caleb has some ideas about that.
Also, Auburn Class of 2024 now is up to No. 2 in average commit rating — ahead of Georgia!
The guys then offer a plethora of shoutouts for outstanding Bunks for their work on ... the Bunk.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the second week of fall camp — and the scrimmage that (finally) yielded some meaningful data.
Several players have stood out so far this month: Jalen McLeod, Kam Stutts, Jaylin Simpson, Jayson Jones, Damari Alston to name a few. Can some of these guys become stars this fall?
Is there a real reason for optimism regarding the overall state of Auburn football? What an insane nine months it's been.
Auburn added another commit last week, DE T.J. Lindsey, and retains its No. 3 spot on the Rivals Average Player Rating scale. Not bad at all.
Flory Bidunga ended up choosing Kansas last weekend. Is this a sign that Bruce Pearl is losing his grip on recruiting? NOT A CHANCE.

The big news today was the return of both Jarquez Hunter and Caleb Wooden from suspension. What happens now? Will they play in the opener against UMass? B-Matt has opinions.
The guys also break down the current situations at OL, DL, QB and LB — all of them in much better staffing shape than they were one year ago. Also, what would be considered a "good season" from a win-loss perspective?
Caleb breaks down the Tigers' latest commitment, safety Jalewis Solomon, and looks ahead to upcoming decisions from defensive lineman T.J. Lindsey and offensive tackle DeAndre Carter.
Meanwhile, Bruce Pearl continues his pursuit of 5-star center Flory Bidunga, who said Monday that this is "decision week." This would be a mammoth recruiting win if the Tigers can land Bidunga.
The crew finishes with a hefty review of the Bunker's best and most humorous posts of the past week.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST Russ47 reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on a hugely eventful week in football recruiting.
The Tigers landed FOUR commits — three of them coveted high school recruits — in what could go down as a turning point in the program's fortunes. Hugh Freeze and his staff brought some 40 highly rated recruits on campus — and those relationships may pay even more dividends in the coming days.
Caleb and Bryan explain why.
The guys also check in with the recruitment of 5-star center Flory Bidunga, whom Bruce and Steven Pearl have been pursuing ardently for the past 18 months. The Indiana resident is nearing a final decision.
Thh show concludes with a collection of commendations for hilarious posts on The Bunker and for other reasons as described in the show. Congratulations to all — and thank you for being part of our community!

The guys consider Hugh Freeze's first performance in Nashville as the Tigers' head coach and how his three, hand-picked player representatives performed as well. Bryan also delves into Freeze's statements about "alignment" and his approach toward narrowing the gap with UGA and Alabama.
It's all very interesting stuff.
Bryan and Caleb review the Tigers' newest football commit (defensive back Jaylin Crawford) and take a gander ahead at what should be a truly star-studded Big Cat Weekend in 10 days.

Who will be representing the Tigers in Nashville? And why did Hugh Freeze pick those three guys?
Auburn added a pair of impact commitments since our last show — both on the defensive side of the ball. Caleb and Bryan break down these players and how quickly they'll be able to crack the Auburn rotation. Also, Caleb provides a look ahead toward Big Cat Weekend. It'll have some stars in attendance this time around.
Bryan and Brian outline the situation facing Auburn baseball now that the draft has finished. The Tigers took a few (expected) hits, but also look to be in good shape in terms of returning pitchers.

The Tigers have added a trio of commits during the past 10 days. This development moved Auburn into the Rivals Top 10 in terms of average stars per recruit. Not too shabby!
Caleb provides his view of what will happen next in the world of football recruiting, which could yield several additional commits for the Tigers. Bryan provides his thoughts about Auburn's 2024 schedule and notes from his recent interview with basketball star Jaylin Williams.
The guys later review the big capital projects going down at Plainsman Park.

Hugh Freeze and his staff have brought so many highly ranked (and talented) players on campus during the past two weeks. Will this yield tangible dividends soon? Caleb and Bryan think so.
Bryan can't wait for the schedule reveal Wednesday.
Auburn played host to six OVs last weekend and five more OVs are on campus today. So much interest!
The Fightin' Pearls added another transfer for the 2023-24 season, but this one didn't come with a lot of fanfare. Henry explains why that's not a problem.
The show ends with more than two metric tons of shout-outs and commendations for members of the Bunker community at AuburnSports.com.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on some movement within in the world of SEC football — both here and across the league.
Bryan is a big fan of the 2024 schedule, which will remain at eight games yet won't feature divisions.
Auburn added another safety over the weekend and played host to a handful of important targets over the weekend. Caleb breaks all that down.
The program's first Elite Camp of the summer yielded a few new offers including one to a quarterback we'll probably be hearing about for a while.
Baseball fell flat at exactly the wrong time last weekend and meekly bowed out from the NCAA Tournament. In so doing, the Tigers conceded what would have been their first-ever home Super Regional.
There is good news on the baseball front, however. We'll know more about it Friday, Bryan says.
The show ends with an oil tanker full of shout-outs and commendations for members of the Bunker community at AuburnSports.com.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on some potential, important changes to SEC football scheduling being discussed at Sandestin this week.
It's all about the money, isn't it? Of course it is.
Greg Sankey really wants to stiffen penalties for program that allow fans to storm the field after big wins. Is that a reasonable stance?
Jay Jacobs is retiring at Florida. The staff seems ambivalent about it.
Johni Broome is back for another season, which is a massive development for the Tigers' 2023-24 chances. The team still has a scholarship to give and would like to find someone to fill it.
Baseball is set to host a regional, but getting through won't be easy. B-Matt says Southern Miss is for real. A full week off between games could/should help the Tigers regain their previous form.
A cavalcade of Bunker stars are lauded for their contribitions and witticims during the SHOUT OUT portion of the show.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on some important additions to the football roster.
In all, Auburn lost 20 players to the portal and added 20 players from the portal. Balance.
Who are the newest additions? Can they help immediately?
Caleb delves into The Phenix (City) Four, which visited the Plains unoffically last week.
Hoops added a wing — and now has four newcomers expected to compete for starting jobs next season.
Also, baseball is surging after an eighth consecutive league victory, which has all but sealed Auburn as a regional host for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Can this team lock down a Top 8 national seed and clinch a Super Regional berth? It's actually possible at this point. Can you believe it?
Softball's season ended in the regional final over the weekend. What's next for Mickey Dean?
The show ends with a Nautilus submarine full of shoutouts and Bunker commendations.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on personnel changes within the football program during the past two weeks.
It's been busy. It's been (mostly) good news for Auburn.
The guys also take a gander at some major portal targets still outstanding — players that could have an effect on the number of wins this fall. There are some big hitters still out there.
Basketball has been happy and kinda sad about Johni Broome's excellent work at the G League Invite and subsequent invitation to the NBA Combine. What happens if Broome goes pro?
The guys also review some interesting developments on the baseball diamond, where Butch Thompson has turned his team around in a big way during the past month. Softball is headed to Clemson as the No. 2 seed in the Clemson regional.
The guys finish with a massive supply of shoutouts and other commendations after some strong work on the Bunker. It's the best message board alive for a reason, you know.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene (along with some esteemed Bunks) for a new edition of The Rundown, which opens with talk about the six football players who have visited the Plains recently.
Of note, two quarterbacks (Nebraska's Casey Thompson and Michigan State's Payton Thorne) have garnered major interest from Hugh Freeze and the Tigers.
Also, the team's Class of 2021 has been decimated like no other. Only three players from the class remain — just two years later!
On the basketball side, Auburn has made its pitch to both FSU wing Matthew Cleveland and Vanderbilt shooting guard Tyrin Lawrence. What's the latest there?
Softball and baseball were pretty good last weekend. That's good news with conference tournaments now on the horizon.
The guys finish with a burlap sack full of shoutouts and commendations for clever work on The Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which opens with talk about a generally slow — but potentially fast-finish — transfer portal for football.
Auburn has played host to a few players and is expected to host a few more in short order. Let's discuss.
On the basketball side, Auburn lost a commitment from Mobile point guard Labaron Philon. Conversely, the Tigers added an assistant coach, they're playing host to a coveted portal wing this week and may be lining up a visit from another. They also added UAH transfer Chaney Johnson, who will provide help at small forward and power foward next season.
Softball and baseball were pretty good last weekend. Progress!
The guys finish with shoutouts and commendations for special contributions from Bunks on the Bunker!

Bunker luminaries on the mic include our festival host Chip Chip plus appearances from VooDoo Wing Company co-founder Michael D. (last name redacted), Number Nineteen, MobileAlum, Hornacious, TonyFinn, LockedOn and BinOBA as a background voice of reason and season.
We discuss basketball recruiting and what happens next from a football personnel perspective. Auburn folks want answers! And we attempt to give them some.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on a curiosuly slow start for all of college football in the transfer portal.
Auburn only has three offers out so far. The talent hasn't been there ... but much time remains for bigger names to make their intentions known.
On the basketball side, Auburn saw center Peyton Marshall de-commit. This wasn't unexpected. The Tigers remain on the trail of several guys in the portal including Florida State wing Matthew Cleveland and Texas Tech wing Jaylon Tyson.
Softball and baseball were OK last weekend. Both must be better this weekend.
The guys finish with a massive supply of shoutouts for the World's Greatest Message Boarders at The Bunker. Legends and studs galore.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on a massive recruiting weekend for both football and basketball.
Jordan-Hare Stadium was a mess Saturday due to cold rain, but things were sunny inside the Harbert Recruiting Center. More than a dozen four- and five-star recruits watched the game on a big-screen TV and again had many nice things to say about the Tigers. This class is shaping up to be a very good one.
On the basketball side, Auburn added a combo guard who provides the shooting presence this team needs. That can't be it, though. The Tigers still have a lot of work to do.
Softball and baseball were OK last weekend. Both must be better this weekend.
The guys finish with a 55-gallon drum full of shoutouts for the outstanding legends who subscribe to AuburnSports.com.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a rare MONDAY edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the movement within the men's basketball programs.
Pont guard Wendell Green said he's headed for the professional ranks, which leaves the Tigers without their biggest playmaker from the 2022-23 season. Will Aden Holloway and Tre Donaldson be enough? We don't think it's that simple.
Bruce Pearl is out there looking for several guys in the portal. Auburn needs shooters and defenders.
Spring football is winding down with A-Day on Saturday. Who has impressed? Who has moved up? Caleb also gets us up to speed on a handful of 4- and 5-star guys who visited last week.
The guys also delve into an eventful weekend for both baseball and softball — plus another round of shoutouts for Bunker greatness.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a rare MONDAY edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' second spring scrimmage.
It was a day general success on the defensive side, general malaise on the offensive side. The tailbacks were a bright spot, however. Is this a sign of things to come? The guys think an upgrade at quarterback could change the equation completely.
Football recruiting? Equation already changed. Caleb spent hours talking with top-level recruits on campus this past week and says things are definitely on the way up from that perspective. The top kids really like Auburn and they way Hugh Freeze recruits.
Basketball recruiting? It's portal season — and Auburn is on the prowl for shooters. Many shooters.
The show wraps, of course, with a review of noteworthy Bunker performers and performances!

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a rare MONDAY edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Fightin' Pearls' difficult loss to Houston in the Round of 32.
Auburn put together a stellar first half. Second half? Not so much.
What happens now? Who will be back? Who will be leaving? What kinds of players does Auburn need to add from the portal? We'll take our best stab at it.
Also, we discuss spring football to this point and go through some second-hand insights from the Friday scrimmage. Was TeeJ really that good? Is Camden Brown the go-to guy outside? Why is everyone talking about Keldric Faulk all of the sudden?
Tough weekend for both baseball and softball, but they can get things moving in the right direction at home this weekend.
And, of course, another round of SHOUTOUTS for our awesome posters and subscribers!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene to look ahead to the Fightin' Pearls' journey to Birmingham and the NCAA Tournament. Iowa awaits. Iowa can score in bunches, but their defense can be a bit ... porous.
The guys also review Spring Practice Four, which included unusual media access that provided some real insight into how some of these assistant coaches do their jobs. Bryan polls the podcast about who will take the first snap from behind center next fall. The answer may or may not surprise you.
The guys also review generally disappointing weekends on the diamonds. Baseball opens SEC play this weekend at No. 7 Arkansas while Auburn heads for Oklahoma City to play Weber State, Northwestern and No. 1 Oklahoma.

Can the Fightin' Pearls find a way to parlay their excellent finish against Tennessee into something special in Nashville this week? It's possible.
The guys also review a successful weekend on both the softball and baseball diamonds — with conference play about to start. Softball is at UGA this weekend while baseball will be at home for one final, non-conference series.

The Fightin' Pearls have a very big stretch of games coming up. This team's NCAA Tournament hopes are very much on the line.
Coach Johnnie led her team to a first-round bye at the women's conference tournament!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Brian Stultz and Henry Patton reconvene to discuss our big interview with football coach Hugh Freeze.
Freeze discussed a bunch of interesting things, including: Auburn still being behind in recruiting despite the excellent 2023 haul, his approach toward spring ball, his preference for morning practices, his role in recruiting and how he's getting Auburn people on the same page behind the scenes.
Caleb reviews the weekend in softball and looks ahead to the team's next Invitational while Brian and Bryan review the series against Indiana and the upcoming trip to LOS ANGELES.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Brian Stultz and Henry Patton reconvene to discuss our big interview with athletic director John Cohen.
Cohen, hired away from Mississippi State late last year, shared his views on the SEC's upcming schedule crunch, the changing landscape of capital improvements juxtaposed with NIL and more. The guys also review an up-and-down week with the Fightin' Pearls, who nonetheless are two wins away from clinching a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Caleb reviews the weekend in softball and looks ahead to the team's home opener(s) while Brian and Bryan preview baseball's home-opening series against Indiana.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Brian Stultz and Henry Patton reconvene to discuss another important week for football recruiting.
The emphasis this week is on Auburn gaining the commitment of Class of 2024 quarterback Walker White, who was coach Hugh Freeze's top choice at that position. White chose the Tigers over Clemson. He listed 14 players at his announcement as guys he wants to sign with Auburn and play with him in a couple years.
How's that for COLD BLOODED?
The guys also discuss an incredible week for basketball recruiting — TWO highly rated, Class of 2024 point guards committed to the Tigers last week. Why would two guys from the same class and the same position want to play together? That's a great question.
Can the Fightin' Pearls get this thing turned around ON THE FLOOR? We'll discuss. The entire panel still sees an NCAA Tournament berth on the horizon, but there is work to be done.
The show ends with a proverbial boatload of shoutouts for our weekly BUNKER shenanigans and moments of clarity.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Sir Brian Stultz and Henry Patton econvene to discuss another important week for football recruiting.
The emphasis this week is on JUNIOR DAY, which included more than 150 prospects overall and a number that a top Auburn targets at their positions. Of note, Anniston cornerback Jayden Lewis, Clanton linebacker Demarcus Riddick and Georgia defensive back Zion Ferguson made trips to the Plains — and had plenty to say afterward.
The guys also discuss a difficult week for the Fightin' Pearls and what lies ahead from a schedule perspective. This upcoming game against Georgia (Wednesday night) is absolutely crucial with a trip to Knoxville right around the corner.
Coach Johnnie's gals are ON A ROLL!

The emphasis this week is on JUNIOR DAY, which is Saturday and will include more than 30 highly rated recruits who are considering a future with the Tigers. That group includes some in-state studs like Andalusia tailback J'Marrion Burnette and Anniston cornerback Jayden Lewis.
The guys also discuss the basketball team's 16-3 start — why this team is "cooking" so well right now and what lies ahead in games against Texas A&M and West Virginia.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Sir Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and special guests Yvonne Matthews and Russ47 reconvene to discuss another important week of Football Roster Reclamation.
The Tigers added three varsity players during the past few days — supplmenting the offensive line, the defensive line and adding a thumper at middle linebacker. Caleb jumps in to recap what's been a very busy week in terms of unofficial visits from Class of 2024 recruits.
Caleb explains how differently things work now from a recruiting perspective.
Jay, Henry and Stultz review the Tigers' two-win week on the court, Jaylin Williams' new groove, Al Flanigan's revitalization and this team's positioning among the SEC's elite.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Sir Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and special guest Yvonne Matthews reconvene to discuss a whirlwind week in the world of AUBURN FOOTBALL ROSTER MANAGEMENT.
The Tigers have added at least seven new players this week, mostly from the transfer portal, and quickly are resolving personnel shortages that date back to 2017. Hugh Freeze and his staff are using the portal to their obvious advantage. Isn't that a nice change of pace?
Which newcomers already are on campus? How quickly can Auburn field a true two-deep along the offensive line? Spots are filling up quickly.
The guys also review a YUGE win on the court — the Tigers' 72-59 victory over the Razorbacks. Maybe this team isn't doomed after all. And perhaps Allen Flanigan can be a boost to the operation? It's too early to know that, of course, but he sure was good against Arkansas.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate, Sir Brian Stultz and special guest RUSS47 return with a show centered on the Tigers' enterprising efforts to acquire players through the Transfer Portal. Who are the Tigers eyeing? Who is on campus? Who will be on campus? Which guys will pick Auburn?
There is much to discuss there. Also, the Fightin' Pearls played poorly in Athens on Wednesday night and lost by 12. What can we learn from that one — and does Pearl have enough talent on this roster to "fix" the problem? Opinions are mixed. One thing that isn't up for debate is that Bruce Pearl is great at what he does. The show ends with a slew 'o shoutouts for outstanding members of the BUNKER fAUmbly.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and Sir Brian Stultz return with a show centered on Hugh Freeze's remarkably successful first Early Signing Day. He was a flippin' fool — snagging eight players who were headed for other Power Five programs before changing course and signing with the Tigers.
How did Freeze pull that off? How much work is left to do?
The guys also discuss the hire of Marcus Davis as wideouts coach. Former Auburn player who's been a model citizen and coach everywhere he's been? Seems like a win to us, though he doesn't have as much CURB APPEAL as some other guys Freeze considered.
And what about the Fightin' Pearls? They're 10-2 as they open conference season Wednesday night against the hated Florida Gators. The loss at USC was stinky, but the win at Washington was a true tour de force that provided a perfect stepping stone into SEC competition.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a show centered around THE EARLY SIGNING DAY.
There is so much going on. Auburn added three players on Sunday and two more on Tuesday morning. Flip Season is in full swing — and there's almost certainly more flipping ahead. How has coach Hugh Freeze and his staff managed to elicit such a remarakable turnaround in such a short period of time?
The guys take a look at each position's needs — and what this staff is doing to address those needs.
Zac Etheridge and Trovon Reed will be sticking around, which is BIG news for Auburn in general.
The Fightin' Pearls dropped one in Los Angeles the other day in ... curious fashion. What happened? And can this get fixed ahead of the BIG TILT AT WASHINGTON on Wednesday? Wen Green should be good to go with his ankle injury, which means turnovers probably will drop off considerably.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a centered around Hugh Freeze's first week on the job.
The guys delve into Freeze's enthusiastic, head-first foray into recruiting — and his effort to rebuild some relationships tattered by the previous regime. With Freeze's work there has been universally appreciated by Auburn folks, his pursuit of (and hiring of) assistant coaches hasn't been received quite as well.
Portal Season began Monday. Several Auburn kids have made the jump, but only one that has any real chance to start next season here. Who is Auburn considering in terms of ADDING kids from the Portal? Caleb and B-Matt have some ideas.
Henry and B-Matt speak about the Fightin' Pearls' win against Colgate (hot shooting!), the upcoming game against Memphis and what Chance Westry's maturation could mean for this team's ultimate ceiling. The show ends, as usual, with a smorgasbord of shoutouts.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a show centered around THE BIG NEWS.
The guys discuss the Tigers' new coach, HUGH FREEZE, and assess his performance during the introductory press conference. Stultzy provides some insight into why this job is so important for Freeze and why he thinks this is a perfect marriage between a program in need of winning and a coach craving high-level success. Caleb weighs in on Freeze's approach to recruiting, which will involve a lot of Portal intervention.
What's next in terms of staff?
Also, the Iron Bowl was contested last week. Feels like a lifetime ago.
Henry and Stultz offer some critiques of the Fightin' Pearls' most recent wins against Northwestern and Saint Louis. Things end with a smattering of SHOUTOUTS for worthy Bunker contributors.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST @russ47 reconvene for a show centered around a bunch-a topics.
Carnell Williams earned his second win as interim head coach — a game that the guys think would have been an L without Williams in charge. Why has he been able to unlock so much potential from this team? In particular, why is the defense so much better with the SAME GUY CALLING IT?
The guys also update the coaching search, which really is about determining when Lane Kiffin will be unveiled. It's unlikely that Auburn will win the Iron Bowl, but would Auburn people demand that Williams be kept in that scenario? It would be an interesting conundrum.
Football picked up a quarterback commit this past weekend. What was that all about?
The Fightin' Pearls are 3-0 with two games in Cancun upcoming. Caleb updates us on the Fightin' Coach Johnnies, who are 3-1 so far.
The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was an outstanding week of Coaching Search Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around a bunch-a topics.
Firstly, Carnell Williams earned the first victory of his stint as interim head coach with a W over Jimbo Fisher last weekend. It's been strange to see what looks like pretty remarkable growth from a variety of areas during the past two or three weeks.
Second, the guys discuss the new FOOTBALL FACILITY and the wonders included within.
Third, the guys review what's happened so far with the search for a NEW football coach. Things aren't moving as quickly as people think.
Fourth, the guys review a busy weekend of recruiting. On the football side, Auburn played host to an array of coveted players from Atlanta and Miami. On the basketball, side a pair of five-star guys made official visits.
The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was a fine week of Coaching Search Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around new athletic director John Cohen's introductory press conference. The guy clearly has a plan for finding the Tigers' new football coach — and for the path Auburn athletics will travel during these next few years.
What do Cohen's comments about the search indicate about who he wants? Is he the guy to finally build a consensus among Important People?
IN OTHER NEWS, Carnell Williams has been a revelation at interim head coach. He brought remarkable fire and passion to the Tigers' sideline last week at Mississippi State. Can he bring the same intensity, and create the same effect, against Texas A&M this weekend? One thing is for sure: Seeing Carnell serve as head coach on the same field where he once dominated in uniform will be special.
Henry and B-Matt also break down the Fightin' Pearls' first win of the season ... over George Mason.

Why did Harsin fail so spectacularly? Can Auburn learn from this? Can interim coach Carnell Williams spawn some meaningful improvement during these final four games?
IN OTHER NEWS, Auburn also hired a new athletic director. It's John Cohen from Mississippi State. What can we hope for him to accomplish when it comes to this coaching search he now finds himself capitvated by?
Not many topics today, but a lot to say.
The show ends with a cornucopia of shoutouts. It was a tremendous week of Bunkering.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around Bryan Harsin's relatively upbeat press conference Monday — and his team's realtively difficult task ahead.
Arkansas is an excellent rushing team. Auburn's rush defense isn't great. Can Jeff "Schmeddy" Schmedding develop a way to coax better assignment comprehension and execution from his front-line defenders?
Also, why is President Roberts so willing to let the next athletic director make the call on Harsin? Will that person have enough time to make an informed decision before nut-cutting time in early December?
Caleb breaks down the latest in recruiting including another trip on tap from the Carver Wolverines — Qua Russaw and James Smith. Plus a chat about Jeremiah Cobb's recent offer from the Georgia Bulldogs.
Jay G. and Henry discuss a hoops recruiting prediction plus intel from the team's weekend scrimmage against Andy Kennedy's UAB squad.
The show ends with a cornucopia of shoutouts. It was a fine week of Bunkering.
The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.

Is it time for Auburn to make a change atop the football program? The team is on a three-game skid and has one Power 5 win since the Ole Miss game ... last year.

Caleb updates us on Clay Wedin's commitment and a player the Tigers will be recruiting heavilty at the next home game. Also, Jay G. provides an update on the athletic director search plus some basketball chatter with Frequent Practice Observer Henry Patton.

The touch loss to LSU showed that Auburn still has a ways to go if it hopes to spring upset bids against Georgia and the Ole Miss Rebels.
Is this fixable? Probably not.
Who can fix this? That's a complicated answer, but we'll certainly give it a shot.
Recruiting these days is simple: Keep the kids interested in Auburn, the excellent university, and aim for a furious finish in December with a completely new approach.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new show leading off with some honest talk about the Tigers' nasty, gnarly, no-good home loss to Penn State.
It was bad. It was real bad. It was the kind of "bad" that ends reigns — which is exactly what might happen. There is immense pressure on Bryan Harsin and this staff right now to show that they're capable of maintaining relevance in the SEC West. This upcoming game against Mizzou is the defintiton of a "must-win game" for this staff and this program.
B-Matt finally lets loose after a few weeks of keeping his mouth shut about some telling trends. Caleb gets real about a weird weekend in the recruiting world. And Stultzy just ... gets weird.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new show leading off with reviews of the Tigers' win against the hated San Jose State Spartans
The two-quarterback system is on full display, but are Finley and Ashford doing enough (together) to keep this offense afloat? Also, why is Auburn's receiver corps still without a receiving touchdown?
The guys also dig into the Tigers' defensive front and its role in a mediocre overall effort so far. (Hint, they're not responsible.) Also, will the Tigers be wearing orange this weekend? Sort of.
Caleb updates us on the Tigers' two official visitors from last weekend and looks ahead to what will be a star-studded group coming into town for the Penn State game.

People love talking about offense, so the guys kick things off with a discussion about TJ Finley and Robby Ashford. B-Matt surmises that this isn't a controversy because the Tigers need both guys to keep the ball moving against better teams.
The guys also dig into Cam Riley's terrific game, the odd staffing situation at cornerback, off staffing decisions along the defensive line and a quick look ahead to what's next for this ballclub.
Caleb updates us on the guys who visited last weekend, which included his first interview with 2024 QB commit Adrian Posse.

TJ Finley wasn't good (on the whole) last season, but can he be the guy to trigger positive change in this offense? Robby Ashford's accuracy isn't great, but it's clear that he brings something to the table with his legs and his moxie. Is Zach Calzada totally out of this thing?
The guys also discuss team captains, camp surprises, a position change and a general outlook with two weeks to go before Mercer.

Will this actually come down to TJ Finley and Robby Ashford? What in the world happened to Zach Calzada?
Quarterbacks aren't the only source of news, however. The defensive line has flexed its muscles and looks to be a major strength as expected. Wesley Steiner looks like a starter at linebacker. And the defensive backfield is stacked with potential contributors.

Will they be ready to contibute right away? And who could best next to cast their lot with the Tigers?

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a NEW SHOW forcusing on the Fightin' Pearls' final two regular-season games ... and what they portend for the postseason.
Why doesn't Zep Jasper lok for his shot every game? What happened to the Tigers' bench? Pearl's statement about the team not having enough guards willing to take a charge was pretty damning.
B-Matt also delves into baseball season a bit, Caleb gets us up to speed on softball — they're 15-1 right now — and breaks down a few recent offers made to Class of 2024 kids.

Bryan Harsin is safe after the university's investigation into ... whatever the university was investigating him for ... and will resume preparations for the 2022 season. What happened? Why did this happen? How damaging was this while kerfuffle for Harsin and Auburn football?
So many questions.
We also discuss Allen Greene's future and take a look at the best team on campus — Bruce Pearl's Fightin' Tigers who remain one game clear atop the SEC standings after a thorough thrashing of the Texas A&M Aggies.
All that plus a few terrible takes from Stultz awaits you during this episode of THE RUNDOWN.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Christian Clemente and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.
Bryan Harsin is under investigation for ... something. Nobody knows specifically. We know that certain people would like to fire him for what they perceive as incompetence, but is the university willing to spend $18 million (plus a bit more for assistant coaches) to make him go away?
The guys also review the Tigers' loss to the hated Razorbacks of Northwestern Arkansas and ponder what that loss will mean for this team moving forward. Also, is Zep Jasper ready to return?

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.
It's National Signing Day! So why does an Auburn site have zero stories on its front page about the new signees? Well, there aren't any.
Why aren't there any? Good question. The guys tackle that dilemma and review just what in the world happened with recently resigned offensive coordinator Austin Davis. It appears Auburn will run a proper search to find a replacement, which is good news.
Basketball? It's all good news. The team is rolling and now has a season sweep of Alabama under its belt. A weekend game at Georgia doesn't seem like a big deal, but the upcoming game at Arkansas is a different challenge altogether.

The Fightin' Pearls demolished Georgia on Wednesday night to set up a SHOWDOWN with the hated Kentucky Wildcats this weekend. Will the Tigers win by 10? 20? 30? Perhaps more?
Auburn's comings and goings via the TRANSFER PORTAL are reviewed. Sure seems like a lot of dudes are leaving.
Will Zach Calzada be ready for spring ball?
Auburn still is searching for a DL coach and, well, may also be in the hunt for a defensive coordinator before long. Is it time to panic?
We also revisit the wondrous Auburn Twitter Armada and its deft, skillful work at ratioing every basketball program not named Auburn or ... Murray State?

Bruce Pearl's team is chugging along at 14-1, though a trip to Coleman Coliseum awaits. This will be a real test for the No. 4 Tigers. This group's depth is amazing, though.
Football? There still is much work to be done in the transfer portal. How much? That's debatable, so we debate it.
Also, Gene Chizik is back on the field and Allen Greene's situation is a bit less tenuous these days.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.
B-Matt is looking forward to Auburn's game at South Carolina, which will test the Tigers in a new way since the Gamecocks are so stinkin' physical. Stultz thinks this team is reminiscent of the 1996 Bulls. Jay and Christian aren't quite that swept away just yet.
Will Lior Berman continue to get three shifts per game with Devan Cambridge now back in the fold?
The guys also discuss comings and goings on the football circuit — including a group of weekend visitors that could strengthen Bryan Harsin's effort to re-tool the Tigers' offensive roster.
Good news: John Samuel Shenker will be back.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some big stuff happening in the Auburn universe.
B-Matt wants to start on a positive note, so the guys discuss Auburn's 70-55 win over the LSU Tigers. Auburn led 18-1 early and essentially cruised to a straightforward win over a previously undefeated team. There were many strong-ass plays made by the Tigers — including Walker Kessler, Jabari Smith and Al Flanigan.
This team is a championship contender.
The football team is not. Auburn fell to Houston in the Birmingham Bowl. The biggest takeaway here probably is that TJ Finley is not a starting SEC quarterback and that Auburn's recruiting on the offensive side of the ball has not been strong. Bryan Harsin and his staff are aiming to change that immediately.
Good news: Colby Wooden and Derick Hall will be back.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review a relatively successful Early Signing Day, which saw Auburn's class leap from No. 41 to No. 13 in the Rivals rankings. What went right? How did Auburn flip Robert Woodyard from Alabama? What kept the Tigers outside the Top 10?
Also, Auburn officially acknowledged the hire of Austin Davis as offensive coordinator. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for Auburn?
Bo Nix is going to play for the Ducks next season. Interesting.
The Fightin' Pearls are 10-1 and have another big test Wednesday, this time against the Racers of Murray State University.

If everything goes according to plan, Bryan Harsin may finish the day with a Top 10 class.
The guys also reveal the Tigers' secret weapon in recruiting, Bo Nix's departure, Tank Bigsby's decision to stay, Austin Davis as the next offensive coordinator and the NCAA finally clearing the 2017 Chuck Person Situation off the table.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate join forces to review the latest from Auburn's search for a new offensive coordinator. The situation with Zak Hill from Arizona State has soured, so who is the next man up? Could Bryan Harsin act as his own O.C. and instead search for a quarterbacks coach? It's possible.
The guys also ponder the upcoming Birmingham Bowl showdown with Houston. Which players will opt out and which players won't?
Christian and Bryan break down a pretty interesting week in football recruiting and keep open the possibility of a surprisingly strong finish from this first-year staff.
Also, the Fightin' Pearls are progressing nicely.

The Tigers have several players now in the portal. Are our pets' heads falling off? Or is this the new reality within college football?
Christian reviews an insanely busy weekend in the world of football recruiting. Is there a way Auburn can actually land Louisiana tailback Tre'Vonte Citizen?
Stultz offers more hot-takes, but gets gonged twice for his own bad takes.

The guys also preview what should be a big weekend in terms of official and unofficial recruiting visitors. There is some chatter about the Fightin' Pearls' 3-0 start and what we should expect from the team's Thanksgiving trip to the Bahamas.

Christian offers some updates on football and basketball recruiting before the guys take a look at Bruce Pearl's team as it begins its 2021-22 season. Expectations are high!

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate join forces to review the Tigers' remarkable win against Ole Miss. The victory included excellent performances from Bo Nix and Tank Bigsby, but will be remembered nonetheless for an amazing defensive performance throughout the second half.
Is this team ready to seize command in the SEC West? The team's upcoming trip to Texas A&M might give us the answer we all seek. Christian and Bryan also provide recruiting updates on both basketball and football.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate join forces to review the Tigers' home loss to Georgia, which was surprising not for the result but for how it all unfolded. There were a ton of drops, yes, but some other things went wrong as well. The guys (more or less) conclude that a loss like this is a function of not recruiting well over a long period. That was obvious on the field Saturday.
The guys also look ahead to the Arkansas game, which B-Matt feels is a good opportunity for the Tigers, and Christian give us a five-minute review of football recruiting. He also touches on basketball recruiting.
