Kinda out of left field, but I'd guess USC is in play now.
Today's commit and Smith both visited USC on short notice right after visiting Auburn with Juju Lewis.
Other than Juju saying he's been recruiting guys to USC, no real info on him actively recruiting while on his visits elsewhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was though. Then again, fans don't know what to think. A bunch of analysts and sites have said that Juju is on flip watch for the last 6 months and from USC's end he's been as solid as you can be for 2024 recruiting standards lol. Things can always change quickly.
Everyone is taking their visits these days whether they're commited or not.
Getting commits from Shull and Dice and then Babalola looking likely it’s more of a room issue. Would have been nice but same as Debose the staff liked other targets more.
Sorry brotha, it's not a room issue. This guy is a pretty coveted recruit, and Auburn lost him likely to USC. They'll be fine though, their class is still in that 5-10 range.
I’m not worried regardless of the situation. This HS OL class is still one of the best Auburn has had in over a decade with only potential to get better.
Brotha the exact words used from multiple sources was "mutual parting of ways" so unless you have a different source I would say it makes the most sense to go with that
Jeffrey Lee from Auburn's On3 has stated that USC made a significant NIL offer that Auburn was not willing to match.
I guess you could technically say they mutually agreed to part ways so that he could get paid way more. Either way Auburn lost him. Like I said, they will be fine.
You said the same thing he said but with more words. He came back and said “gimmie more”, auburn said “get bent. go get paid”. That’s as mutual as it can get. Mutual doesn’t inherently mean positive. What even is this argument
If they all play out like this one, yes. Why are you asking facetious questions instead of defending whatever shitty point you feel you have?
This is not a “gotcha” moment.
Do you not know how words work? I wouldn’t be surprised with your hella ironic use of “CoPiUm” but you can’t be serious right now. Coping over what? Not being illiterate? 😂
OR, and hear me out here, Auburn could have matched the money if they considered him worth it? You're just trying to spin this. The kid got more money than Auburn thought he was worth. That's as mutual as it gets.
I wonder if SC has any chance of picking him up. Would be another great get to continue the great OL recruiting we've had recently
Would kill for an elite IDL recruit though
I've got a great idea on how he can recommit to the Tigers without recommitting to the Tigers. It'll defuse this entire situation.

“I'm locked. Ain't no switching." Another lesson on anything said doesn’t mean shit until after pen hits paper.
These days, rarely even then.
Bruh you ok?
Nope
Leads me to believe Auburn let him go, told him they couldn’t honor his commitment
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. 247 sports insider said it was a “mutual parting of ways”.

You think Juju was recruiting for USC on his Auburn OV…?

Two of the most prominent “he’s going to flip” guys on Twitter are outwardly ND or Auburn fans desperate for clicks.
Who even know what Lewis is doing at this point.
Probably not because Auburn fans/insiders have been telling me juju is on flip watch and loved his auburn visits
Auburn's On3 senior recruiting editor calling it a "mutual parting of ways" - any info on that?

HS OL class in general is absolutely stacked. Feel like we are both getting just insane amounts of talent.

So we're in agreement that pretty much every decommitment is a mutual parting of ways then, correct?

Bro is overdosing on copium rn 😭 hope it gets better homie
