What did that mean?

Yeah, they're going to have to get a handful of guys like this.

I don't see this staff really pursuing the top offensive tackles in the portal.

I think Ramil was ranked 11th on On3's portal rankings for tackles, which is kind of what I expected.

I think they're going to get a bunch of guys

10 to 20 ish.

And like, let's just see what happens.

Last few years, Auburn's gotten guys towards the top end of the portal when it came to tackle.

And I don't know if it's been worth it financially, how much of that has been coaching and scheme.

I've been a little bit more defensive of the offensive line was at Auburn than most people have.

And I'll continue to do that.

The health thing concerns me about this.

Yeah, Auburn lost a lot of guys in the portal, as did Michigan State, and there's a million reasons why a kid can enter the portal.

I'll make that very clear when we talk about it.

But it's been pretty well reported by several folks in the Auburn media that the way Alex Golish and his staff are structuring these NIL deals is you can get paid at Auburn, but you are going to have to earn it.

You're getting some up front, but a lot of it is incentive-based.

Depending on the type of guy Stanton Ramil is, this could be perfect for him.

You mentioned he's a gamer.

You mentioned that he wants to be that guy.

You couldn't keep him off the field against Michigan.
