After reading about, and watching a little video of Auburn’s ‘Big Cat’ recruiting weekend, it appears the Tiger coaches accomplished their mission.
I’m not sure if everything that went on was within NCAA guidelines, but I do know it certainly put Auburn’s recruiting efforts back in the spotlight - again.
The limo tour of the coaches created quite a stir, and now this.
Say what you want, but Auburn coaches are getting very creative in getting top athletes from around the country to at least take a look at the football program.
While Tuberville and Co. appeared to be getting stale in their final years, Chizik and his crew are making some big noise.
You’ve got to give them credit.
One has to wonder what’s next. It certainly has made for an interesting off-season.
