In today’s episode of The College Loop, we break down Golesh’s latest press conference and his clear message to the fan base: be patient. But what does that actually mean in the SEC? How long is a “rebuild” supposed to take at Auburn? And is it fair for fans to expect immediate results after multiple losing seasons?

We dive into Golesh’s comments, the intentional roster changes, culture shift, and why Year 1 might look different than some expect — while also asking whether Auburn fans are justified in demanding faster progress.

Plus, we shift over to the hardwood and discuss what Auburn Tigers men's basketball needs to do down the stretch to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. What has to improve? What’s working? And how much margin for error is left?

We also recap the latest results from Auburn Tigers baseball, Auburn Tigers softball, and Auburn Tigers women's gymnastics as Auburn Athletics continues to stay busy across the board.

All that and more on today’s episode of The College Loop.

Can Alex Golesh win the state of Alabama in the 2027 recruiting class? In today’s episode of The College Loop, we take an early look at Auburn Football’s in-state recruiting battle and what “winning the state” would actually mean for the future of the program.

From locking down top Alabama prospects to going head-to-head with Alabama for elite talent, we break down where Auburn stands in the 2027 class, how Golesh and his staff are approaching relationships and evaluations, and why in-state success is critical for building long-term SEC consistency. Is this the class where Auburn starts shifting momentum at home?

Plus, we go around the Plains with a full Auburn Athletics update — checking in on Auburn Basketball, recapping the latest from Auburn Baseball and Softball, and touching on where Auburn Gymnastics stands as their season continues to unfold.

Auburn’s transfer portal cycle may be winding down, but the bigger story is how this roster was built.

In tonight’s episode of The College Loop, we take a step back from individual commitments and break down what Auburn actually did right in the portal under Alex Golesh. From prioritizing key positions and adding SEC-ready depth to balancing experience, upside, and long-term roster stability, this class reflects a clear and intentional plan.

We’ll discuss why Auburn’s approach stands out compared to recent years, how these additions fit the current roster, and what it all means heading into the upcoming season — without rehashing the same portal headlines you’ve already heard.

Is this the blueprint Auburn needed? Let’s connect the dots.

We break down what these OL additions mean, how they fit Auburn’s needs up front, and whether this signals a real shift in roster construction.

We also react to Auburn bringing A-Day back to a traditional spring game format, what that decision says about depth, and how it changes the outlook for spring practice.

To close the show, we preview Auburn Men’s Basketball vs. Missouri, key matchups to watch, and what the Tigers need to do as SEC play continues.
