Here is an On3 opinion article stating the players in 23 class that will make an impact. We have three on the list with Downs being #1. Keeley and Haynes made it also.

Careful now. The article said "best situated to make an instant impact", not "will make an impact". ;)

I just was where former 5* TE Arik Gilbert has entered the portal for 2nd time (LSWho, UGA). I know we all thought he would sign with us when LSWho got him and wondering if we have any interest.

I’m all for second (or third or fourth) chances but I would prefer this guy to not make his way to Tuscaloosa. Seems like what you don’t want in the locker room.

TJ, I actually believe this is his third time in the portal. Signed with LSU, entered portal, committed and left portal for Florida. He then re-entered before ever enrolling in Gainesville, then signed with UGA. Now he is back in.

Given his personal issues (and home being Marietta) I understand somewhat his UGA decision. But from an opportunity standpoint, it didn’t really make sense. With Bowers and Washington on the roster and a couple blue chips at TE coming in, his opportunity for PT was going to be limited.

And going back to his personal/mental health issues, Arik would probably be better served focusing more on getting better as a person and less on getting better as a football player.

If they do sign him, instead of it being Auburn just being Auburn.I think I’ll start using the term “Auburn is deep freezing it.” The bs has always been pretty deep over there.

OK, time to make a stand. Who likes icing and who likes cake. Yesterday was cake, ricks is the icing. Both are good , but even good icing is a lot better with Great cake. Hmmmmm, TASTY
That cake had whipped cream cheese icing served with ice cream on the side Covered in hot fudge.

Hope we get the TE...the long weekend is a bit worrisome.

On another subject, Richard Young's high school coach is joining Prime at Colorado. Since Young's already signed is that anything to be concerned about, at least in the short term? BTW, the coaches were team mates at FSU.

Are you wondering if he will jump into the transfer portal ? Otherwise, not sure what you are asking
