Between press conferences and photo-ops, Hugh Freeze is set for a chaotic few days on the Plains.
The 38th head coach of Auburn Tigers football has to build out a staff, rebuild trust with a fanbase weary of the hire, and perhaps most importantly, reload the roster. Freeze addressed the first two of those issues during his press conference on Monday. As for the recruiting aspect of his job?
Freeze noted twice that he hasn’t checked in with Auburn’s high school department, but that should come in short order. “Man, I can’t wait. I’m begging and those guys, ‘Let’s finish up our schedule so I can go recruit.’ Our first day out can be this weekend,” Freeze said. “But I know this is one of the better years in the local area and we gotta go make some headway in a hurry.”
He’ll need to. The 2023 Tigers are up to 13 commitments and just one of the 15 highest-rated seniors in the state. The Tigers are in the mix for a few flips and still have a shot at some of the top seniors in Alabama, the G.W. Carver-Montgomery five-star duo James Smith and Qua Russaw.Auburn’s class is ranked 32nd nationally, per 247Sports Composite and 10th in the Southeastern Conference.
Though some of the best in the state will be traveling to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the Super 7 championship games, the NCAA calendar is currently in a ‘dead period’ meaning coaches can’t make in-person contact. Freeze’s first day on the trail could be Friday, Dec. 2.
