Auburn247 Podcast

The biggest recruiting weekend of the summer for Auburn football and basketball has come and gone. Both sports picked up a commitment, but the big news lies beneath the surface. Recruiting analyst Keith Niebuhr and host Brandon Marcello discuss what they've heard in the aftermath of Big Cat Weekend, and what to expect in the near and far future on the recruiting circuit for Gus Malzahn's Tigers and Bruce Pearl's bunch that might land a 5-star or two (or more) in the future.

Everyone has a moment they will forever tie to Rod Bramblett. The voice of the Auburn Tigers is gone, but he is not forgotten. He is not silenced. Rod and his wife Paula were killed in a tragic, two-vehicle accident May 25, 2019. They leave a void in the Auburn community. And yet Rod's voice still echoes on the Plains. Friends, fans and colleagues gather in a special episode of The Auburn Undercover Podcast to celebrate Rod's life on and off the radio. Former Auburn quarterback and current Auburn radio analyst Stan White, a close friend and coworker in the football booth, shares his favorite memories calling games alongside the voice of Auburn football. Reporter Jason Caldwell discusses his friendship with Bramblett, one that grew out of a mutual love for baseball more than a decade ago. Writers Barrett Sallee and Justin Ferguson, both Auburn alums from Auburn families, discuss their favorite moments, interactions and how Bramblett provided the soundtrack to their lives. Auburn historian David Housel, the former athletics director, reflects on the days leading up to Bramblett's rise to the seat to call Auburn football in 2003 and also reflects on his greatest calls, moments and why an Auburn man like Bramblett was the perfect man for this generation of Auburn fans.

Sit back and listen as we reminisce and celebrate the voice of the Auburn Tigers.

We're still waiting to hear when defensive end Charles Moore will arrive on campus, and whether he will, so let's take a look at the latest going on with recruiting at Auburn. Brandon Marcello is joined by recruiting expert Keith Niebuhr to break down the recent commitment of graduate transfer receiver Zach Farrar, what's ahead for new enrollees, the recruitment of the nation's No. 2 quarterback and much more. We also dive into negative recruiting, which is a problem in the SEC. The negative comments from anonymous coaches about rival programs circulating in preseason magazines is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what coaches say on the recruiting trail. The guys dive into that and how sad and crazy it really gets on the recruiting trail.

Now what? Auburn's top three scorers from last season are off to play professional basketball after news broke late Monday that forward Chuma Okeke will keep his name in the NBA Draft rather than return to the Plains for his junior season. Brandon Marcello and Keith Niebuhr explore the impact of Okeke's departure, the special moments of the final month of his Auburn career and what Auburn's coaches are doing to make sure they reload next year and beyond with coach Bruce Pearl. Plus, we go over a couple of names recently brought up in the graduate transfer market and what the Tigers are doing now to fill holes on the roster for the 2019-20 season in this emergency edition of the Auburn Undercover podcast.

Auburn was unable to garner a commitment from Arkansas graduate transfer La'Michael Pettway as the receiver chose Iowa State over the Tigers, but there's another receiver on the radar. Will he provide immediate help and another piece to Auburn's offensive puzzle? The Tigers seem enamored with the idea of bringing in another receiver, no matter the body type or style. Also, Jason Caldwell fills us in on the Tigers' baseball team and what lies ahead. Could the Tigers still host a regional? What does the postseason look like for Butch Thompson's club, and what will the roster look like next season? We're always looking ahead on the Auburn Undercover podcast. Plus, an in-depth discussion with Phillip Marshall on how far the Auburn softball program has fallen since it was one run away from winning a national title just a few short years ago. Who is to blame? What's next? Can it be turned around in the coming years? There are so many questions to be answered on this episode of the Auburn Undercover Podcast.

We caught up with Gus Malzahn and Bruce Pearl during their first stop on the booster club circuit earlier this week, and we all already know the big news. Yes, Malzahn finally said what we've been saying for more than one month now: Joey Gatewood and Bo Nix are the top two quarterbacks. We dissect that (briefly), and also check in with Pearl on how basketball recruiting has changed for the Tigers since their run to the Final Four. That's right: you get to hear from the coaches right here on the Auburn Undercover podcast. Host Brandon Marcello also answers your questions and ends the show brainstorming the future of the podcast.

Auburn had a huge presence at one of the biggest summer basketball tournaments of the year, and for good reason: Bruce Pearl is fresh off a run to the Final Four and two big-time prospects (Sharife Cooper and B.J. Boston) were front and center at the Nike EYBL tournament in Cartersville, Georgia. Jason Caldwell joins the podcast to discuss his takeaways from the huge tournament filled with the best 2020 talent in the country and what to expect from Auburn basketball recruiting in the months ahead of the early signing period in November. What are Auburn's chances of landing 5-star point guard like Cooper? Brandon Marcello and Caldwell weigh in. Plus, the guys discuss the pro prospects of the six Auburn players selected in the NFL Draft over the weekend, their favorites to last in the league the longest and what the 2020 NFL Draft might look like for the Tigers. Plus, what's the latest on the football recruiting front with receivers? Oh, and it's never too early to start discussing Big Cat Weekend.

Auburn Undercover catches up with offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham in his first media appearance since he was hired in December to discuss the quarterback battle, whittling the race down to two players and what life is like after living in big cities his entire life. Host Brandon Marcello takes us on the road through Georgia to a small gathering of Auburn fans and catches up with the OC about his coaching style. Plus, Dillingham breaks down the quarterbacks and what each provides the Tigers heading into the summer, when we're almost certain to finally hear official word on which two quarterbacks are *the* guys competing for the starting job heading into the season opener against Oregon on Aug. 31 (only four months away!).

Recruiting is heating up for Auburn basketball fresh off its run to the Final Four, and two recent developments might lead the Tigers to immediate contention for a title once again. Yes, even without its two leading scorers (Bryce Brown and Jared Harper) in the lineup, the Tigers could have the talent to be a force in the SEC next season. Auburn Undercover editor Brandon Marcello discusses the perfect scenario that might be developing behind the scenes, and how it's possible the Tigers could find the immediate answers on the recruiting trail. We also welcome 247Sports national basketball analyst Evan Daniels to discuss Auburn's Final Four run and how it affects recruiting, particularly the recent targeting of graduate transfer Rayjon Tucker. Does Evan believe the Tigers can be a consistent threat in the SEC? Brandon also answers fan questions, which feature plenty of football talk. No, this isn't quite yet a basketball-only podcast.

Gus Malzahn will not say it, but his quarterback battle is down to two players: redshirt freshman Joey Gatewood and true freshman Bo Nix. Three Auburn quarterbacks had fantastic performances at the A-Day scrimmage Saturday, but our sources have long told us — and they repeated again — the quarterback battle is down to two men. Keith Niebuhr, Jason Caldwell and Brandon Marcello break down the performances of Nix and Gatewood, their improvement over the years since high school, and why they expect both quarterbacks to possibly play in the season opener Aug. 31 against Oregon. Yes, we're more than four months away, but the picture already appears to be clearing up. The guys also break down the resurgence of the Auburn offense, why it has returned to form under Malzahn's guidance and whether the impact performances by Seth Williams and Matthew Hill will carry over into the fall for the receivers. Also, what are the pieces most concerning to the guys? Is there a hole to fix on defense? Which two players surprised us the most? Our answers vary, and for good reason.

Listen to the newest episode of the Auburn Undercover podcast as we zero in on the completion of spring practices and give you a full breakdown of what occurred behind closed doors during the 15 days of drills, including the only open scrimmage of the spring, from our team of insiders.
