For the first time since COVID-19 hit in the spring of 2020, the Auburn Tigers staff will be making the rounds in the state of Alabama. The emphasis is on building relationships with the high school programs in the state. It was detailed by 247Sports.
“This spring evaluation period is a huge opportunity for our coaches to get out and connect,” Harsin tells Auburn247. “They will be able to watch and evaluate the guys we feel can make Auburn football better, but just as important is the opportunity to canvas the entire state of Alabama, from top to bottom and everywhere in between. Spending time at those schools, with coaches and other staff members–a Tiger takeover–that’s our primary focus as we begin the spring eval period.”With plans to visit 230 high schools in Alabama during a 12-day period to open the evaluation period, several of Auburn’s assistants have plans to visit as many as 40 schools in the first week. That should be important for the Auburn program with the 2023 and 2024 classes in Alabama two of the best years ever in terms of overall talent in the state.
Next, could Agiye Hall be a target for Bryan Harsin?

This is by no means stating that the Auburn Tigers are in the hunt for former Alabama wide receiver Agiye Hall, but perhaps they should be. When discussing potential landing spots for the product from Florida, our colleagues at Roll Tide Wire pondered a potential move within the state of Alabama.
Bryan Harsin is gearing up for his second season at Auburn. After a wild offseason for Harsin, landing Hall from the transfer portal could lead to his name being mentioned in a positive light. Considering how frustrated Hall was, it would not be shock if he decided to join Alabama’s in-state rival.
