Do these millionaire 19-20 year olds go to class? Or am I just being naive at this point.

There is also the fact that Freeze is bringing in multiple QBs.Quote:

Shit, I hate Freeze.
Outside of freshman, I doubt any of our players actually have in person classes.Quote:

That is why Nakos, Wiltfong, and Luginbill have as much or more info than Robertson. They are all just getting it from agents and Robertson is getting it from all the State folks over at Auburn.Quote:

But the towel hasn't been thrown in.....Quote:

We are raising money at this hour to get that number closer to 1.5-1.6. It would be a two year deal.Quote:

That is too much. If this was Dillon Gabriel last year then I would have no problem with that offer. But there is a line we cannot go past with Arnold. We are probably pretty close to it at 1.5 for two years. I would go 2 for 2 but no higher. And I am not comfortable going 2 for 2 but if that is what it takes I think we would swallow it and cut the check.Quote:

We need a couple of other guys that he will bring with him thoughQuote:

The two things helping our case tonight….the Auburn fan base and Jake Crain. In agreement that they do not want Arnold. And if I know one thing, Jeff Lebby has sent every one of those tweets to Jackson and to Todd
Someone said Charlie is on the phone right now raising money?..?!
I thought we had well over $10mill?.or was that just ?commitments??
You usually know your stuff but there are a couple of kids that will absolutely want to come here if Arnold comes if we pay market value. At position of need (every position on our roster currently)Quote:
