Is Percy Lewis part of the problem or part of the solution along the offensive front? Is the staff reluctant to made Caleb Wooden their ride-or-die guy at safety? What about DJ Durkin naming 37 defensive starters? The guys then delve into their season predictions. Six wins? Seven wins? Eight? More? Caleb then jumps in to discuss the Tigers' newest commit, DE Nate Marshall from Illinois, who was a FLIPPER from Michigan. How did this one go down? And who could be next?

He said Hank Brown will be the team's QB2. He said D-Wade is moving back to tackle and will replace Percy Lewis, who is now moving inside. That unexpected. The guys also discuss injuries to Keionte Scott and Austin Keys — two of the squad's most important defensive players. Will this new offensive braintrust actually yield more points per game this fall? The guys have opinions. Caleb, in absentia, passes along some interesting things on consider on the recruiting front while Sir Henry breaks down the Fightin' Pearls' draw in the Maui Invitational.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the BIG (WEEKEND) SCRIMMAGE and the Tigers' second week of fall camp. The offense was just so-so in the scrimmage. Is that a big deal? Not really. Plus, the young wideouts really were terrific and the defense, well, it played well — at least the first- and second-team guys — from start to finish. All in all, that's what you'd expect at this stage. We're starting to get a picture of which "new" players are in the mix for increased roles this season — Antonio Kite, Malik Blocton, Perry Thompson, Cam Coleman. Also, the competition behind Payton Thorne seems a little closer than expected. Caleb breaks down the latest with Mississippi quarterback Deuce Knight and a few other Magnolia State prospects who are tight with Knight. Dominoes falling? Possibly.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company in Auburn to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the FIRST WEEK OF (FALL) PRACTICE. It's early. They're not even in full pads yet. Still, it's becoming clear that the freshman wideouts are a special group and that a somewhat forgotten interior OL is making a bit of a splash so far. Bottom line: Is this all going to help Payton Thorne be better this season? Or will he be best? The staff deliberates these questions. Auburn added three more commits since our last show. Caleb is here to get you up to date on those happenings while also getting folks prepared for potential flips from Deuce Knight (Notre Dame) and Na'eem Offord (Ohio State) in the coming days or weeks. The 2025 and '26 classes are getting really, really nasty. B-Matt provides a baseball update late followed by some hoops talk. Bruce Pearl's schedule this season will be GRUELING — even if his team really is as good as it seems.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo Wing Company in Auburn to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on BIG CAT WEEKEND. Or should we call it THE BIGGEST CAT WEEKEND? Auburn used its premier recruiting event of the year to land EIGHT commits — including a number of four-star players on the precipice of a jump to five-star status. There was a little bit of everything: Two Alabama flips, a franchise safety, a franchise cornerback, two outstanding young edge defenders plus a linebacker and a punter. Hugh Freeze is FILLIN' UP THE GROCERY BAG. Metaphrorically, of course. The guys then take a look at who could be next. That group includes an outstanding defensive end making his pick later this week plus a pair of players on the OFFICIAL B-Matt "Flip Watch." So exciting.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on our views of the football team's strengths and weaknesses heading into the 2024 season. What's interesting is that we had five panelists and four different answers on weaknesses. Could that be a good thing? We also break down the pressure on Hugh Freeze. He's definitely not on the hot seat, but a poor season this fall could put him on a hot seat. It's time for substantive progress on the field. Let's be real about it. Caleb then breaks down seven key Big Cat Weekend attendees and considers which schools they are likely to choose. Many of them, Caleb and B-Matt feel, will end up playing for the Auburn Tigers. This is good news. The show ends with a 55-gallon drum full of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene in the Rane Room to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers on the team's appearance at SEC Media Days. Pressing? Oh yeah. Hugh Freeze discussed several items of interest — including an odd approach toward play-calling-by-committee, his percentage of time devoted toward coaching and his inability (or unwillingness) to change how he approached recruiting in the NIL age. Is he a dinosaur or a principled cat in a shady world? It's really up to each person to decide. Caleb and B-Matt then jump in to discuss football recruiting, which is set to hit a crescendo during the next two weeks after a relatively slow month. Big Cat Weekend is one week away and several top targets are on commit watch or flip watch. This should be an exciting time for Auburn recruiting.

Why? We don't really know. We have questions. The guys also review Hugh Freeze's choices for player reps at Media Days. Also, what will reporters be asking the Tigers during their trip to Dallas next week? It's relatively easy to predict. So we did. Caleb breaks down a fine week of recruiting (two commitments) after a tough week in late June. A pair of important targets will be making decisions before long. Who? He will tell you! What's going on with JuJu Lewis? Is he off the board? Not entirely, but we think the five-star's window of opportunity at Auburn may have passed. How can that happen? We explain.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which centers almost wholly on a difficult week of football recruiting. Auburn lost a pair of commits plus three previously uncommitted players who ended up choosing rival schools. Those troubles elicited concerns in many corners of the Auburn world, but Caleb and B-Matt take time to explain the reasons/challenges behind these setbacks. In fact, B-Matt thinks two of these developments will turn around in time. The Tigers also added a top-tier tailback in Alvin Henderson from Elba, Ala., and appears set to add more talent this week. So it all (probably) works out in the end. Caleb adds some thoughts on wideout Caleb Cunningham and quarterback Julian "JuJu" Lewis — two highly coveted players the Tigers are chasing. Henry discusses the basketball team's riches at the two guards positions, B-Matt identifies a few more LHP targets for Buth Thompson. The show ends with a double delivery of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Caleb and B-Matt provide some sharp analysis about what's happened and what's to come. The crew also dicusses the basketball team's trip to Duke for the SEC-ACC Challenge, Butch Thompson's seven portal additions and thoughts on Auburn's new softball coaches. Can they get it done?

Recruiting, in general, is going well. The guys also discuss some news with Class of 2026 guys, who already are working to pare down their choices. Men's golf won a NATIONAL TITLE last week. Stultzy reviews how that happened and why Nick Clinard may not be finished adding hardware on the Plains. The show ends with a tasty array of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the football program starting Camp and Visit Season. Caleb is in Germany competing, but he passes along a disptch rounding up an interesting couple weeks on the recruiting front. That includes a new commit and three official visitors. B-Matt then looks ahead at the coming weekend, which is expected to feature seven official visitors — including a few on commit watch. The guy discuss the basketball team's latest (and probably final) portal addition, who comes into the program from Georgia Tech to add some punch to the Tigers' perimeter shooting. Men's golf is in the Final Four and Stultzy gets us up to date on Nick Clinard's team. The women's team lost to Stanford in the Elite Eight. The show ends with a reasonably large group of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the football program playing host (potentially) to a trio of visitors. One of them is a coveted tailback. He's a Tier I guy, but is he the guy Auburn wants? Caleb discusses. Basketball also is playing host — bringing Texas forward Dillon Mitchell to the Plains for a visit and chats about how Auburn can mae him better. And how he can make Auburn better. Auburn needs another big man. Stultzy adds his thoughts on the Tigers' successes on the links. The men are in Baton Rouge aiming for a spot in the Championships. The Auburn women already have captured their regional title and will begin Championship play Friday in California. Baseball won a series! Isn't that grand? Softball lost in 14 innings to Georgia in the SECs, but still earned a spot in the Tallahassee Regional to begin Friday. The show ends with a massive grouping of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the Tigers adding another portal OL and a high-school LB. They are both positions of needs, so those changes are augmentative. The high-school LB, Tyler Lockhart from Winona, Miss., committed at 10 p.m. on a Monday. What's that all about? Caleb has ideas. Bruce Pearl is bringing in a pair of coveted portal targets — one combo guard and one power forward — who could turn this excellent roter into an epic roster. What do we know about these guys? They're good. We know that. Stultzy adds his thoughts on the Tigers' successes on the links while B-Matt and Jay G. break down the most recent results on the various diamonds. The show ends with a large supply of salutations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the Tigers landing a KEY PORTAL TRANSFER in (former) Penn State wideout KeAndre Lambert-Smith. What does his arrival do for the wideout room? Payton Thorne? The team? Potentially a whole lot. Auburn now has added four players via the spring portal and has lost four via the spring portal? It's not a wash. The Tigers have cleaned up. Caleb checks in with Thompson HS safety Anquon Feagans, the guys discuss players still on Bruce Pearl's radar, Stultzy explains the brilliance behind the Tigers' SEC title in men's golf while we discuss (again) why things have gotten so bad so quickly with both baseball and softball. The show ends with a bountiful supply of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which today centers on several football comings and goings via the transfer portal. The DL has been solidified in a big way with the addition of three portal transfers. Might Auburn be able to add the WR from Penn State as well? That would be useful. Caleb interviewed several impact recruits during the Rivals Camp in Atlanta last weekend — incluing the nation's top overall player JuJu Lewis from California. He's definitely interested in the Tigers. Johni Broome is back for another season with the basketball team, which is a massive development. This roster already looks sick — and it still has a chance to get sicker. Baseball looks finished. Softball is next-to-last in the standings. Not a great year on the diamonds. The show ends with a massive array of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community. Great folks and a great community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Brian Stultz, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene at VooDoo to discuss important happenings in and around the Auburn program, which primarily centers on the TRANSFER PORTAL opening again for football. Brenton Williams already is headed out. What will Auburn look to add this time? Looks like the emphasis will be on the DL and at WR. Cannot rule out a QB, though. Basketball has been busy this week — with a point guard arriving and another leaving. Is BP preparing to basically run it back? Softball had a good weekend. Baseball did not. It's looking dire for the Fightin' Butches. The show ends with a delightful supply of commendations and shoutouts for the most outstanding members (this week) from The Bunker community.
