The AuburnSports.com Rundown

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.

The show ends with a slew 'o shoutouts for outstanding members of the BUNKER fAUmbly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was a big week of Bunkering.

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?

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.

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.

Why hasn't a change been made? How long can President Roberts show patience with Bryan Harsin? Is the football team showing improvement in some ways?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Christian Clemente, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new show focusing the TIGERS TAKEOVER barnstorming undertaken by the football staff.

Can this actually help things from an overall recruiting perspective? It certainly exists as proof that Bryan Harsin is adapting to the situation within Alabama. 

Also, the guys review the latest portal targets for the Fightin' Pearls, which currently involve some front-court standouts. There will be new names to consider in the coming days — at wing.

Jabari Smith, Walker Kessler and Devan Cambridge are out. Yohan Traore is in. What else does Bruce Pearl have in store?

What have we learned from spring football practice? Not too much, though we're certain Derick Hall is a grown man these days. He's quite a boss.

We review some recent recruiting visitors plus some basketball and softball chatter, too.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Christian Clemente, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new show focusing on the basketball team's stinging loss in the NCAA Tournament.

What happened in Greenville? What can Bruce Pearl and his staff do to keep that from happening again? And does the second-round exit ruin most everything positive that happened this season? 

Spring practice is one-third finished. What have we learned?

Christian and Caleb break down some of the most important visitors from a successful Junior Day last weekend.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Christian Clemente, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new show focusing on the football team's first practice of the spring season. 

What's different with this team? What was learned about Bryan Harsin after our first true, in-person interview with the head coach?

Caleb and Christian update us on the Tigers' recruiting situation with another Junior Day coming up.

The guys then jump into discussion about the NCAA Tournament, which kicks off this weekend with Auburn playing Jacksonville State in Greenville, S.C. This draw is favorable for the Tigers; there will be no excuses for Madness failures. This team has many attributes that lead to optimism, however. 

IT'S GO TIME!

Let's also review successful stretches from baseball and softball as well.

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 Matthews, Brian Stultz, Christian Clemente, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a NEW SHOW, our second in three days, that focuses primarily on the Fightin' Pearls. 

Can this team make a deep NCAA Tournament run without elite three-point shooting? Can they get some elite three-point shooting through improvement and better shot selection?

The gang generally gives Sir J Head the floor to discuss tthe current state of Auburn football — what's happened, what needs to happen, how the Tigers will solve their roster problems.

The gang also discusses the basketball team's narrrow loss at Florida and what it means for this team's immediate future.

Having fun in Mobile during Mardi Gras is a tradition. SO WHY NOT DO THAT ON THE SHOW? That was the goal. WE ACHIEVED IT.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Christian Clemente and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.

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.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.

The Fightin' Pearls have reached the TOP of the AP Poll for the first time EVER. What does that mean for the program moving forward?

What will be the next major challenge to the Tigers' national supremacy? 

Auburn football made a series of major changes to its coaching staff during the past week. What's going on? Does this strengthen or weaken the Tigers' from an one-the-field or a recruiting perspective?

We also review recruiting developments on both the basketball and football sides.

Stultz, incredibly, demolishes UK coach John Calipari's "concerns" with screens with one sentence.

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.

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?

Bryan Matthews, Christian Clemente, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene to review some developments.

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.
