I question the strategy behind it.

Analogy: A chef goes to a grocery and buys all of the most expensive ingredients he can find. When he gets back to the kitchen, his staff is befuddled because none of it can actually be used to make a signature dish.

I don't think Jackson Arnold is a bad quarterback, but I'd be curious to see his deep ball accuracy numbers. My bet is it's not that good. Mix that with a guy like Singleton, and it just looks like Freeze is panicking, offering any upper tier kid that will come, and figuring it out when they all get here.

It was very obvious what our staff's strategy was last year. We got smoked against Georgia, upgraded the front seven, and then when Judkins left, spread that money to OL. There were obviously some misevals in that which ultimately might've cost us a Playoff bid. With that said, there was a method to the madness.

This is why I'm not convinced Auburn is going to be world's better. They'll have better players, which shrinks the margin for error, but I'm not sure they're going to be a top 20 team.
