I think there are some parallels there.

When they first came over from JMU to IU, they had 13 guys.

They have eight guys.

returning including aiden fisher who's an all-american linebacker a couple of dbs are going to play in the pros receivers right rasat sarat as well i mean he's a stud yeah it's great they killed it but the other thing they did is this year they went and found other small school kids like a d lineman from toledo their evaluation skills are the best of anybody else even better in kiffin's so is there parallels possibly because it's plug and play

You've got guys that can help other players on the roster, so that part totally fits for Auburn.

And they're bringing over the guys that matter, including obviously Byram and these receivers.

They didn't bring the low-end guys from James Madison to IU.

They're not doing anything different.

The question, and this will bear out in time, IU's assistant staff, especially their coordinators, I am shocked they did not get jobs this year.

for them to be coming back next year is comedy to me.

And that's the key.

How good are the coordinators?

That'll dictate how well you use the players.

The guys that got coming from USF are proven.

I mean, you've went over here and walked on Auburn, but Auburn's yours too.

And it's like, they brought all the guys that matter.

So, I mean, everything lines up.

Now you got to prove it against the SEC.

Right.

But those are the key guys.
