Justin and Dan are back in studio to record a wide-ranging episode on Alex Golesh’s first week with Auburn football and Auburn basketball’s loss at Arizona. Topics include:
Golesh saying his top priority is re-recruiting the current roster
why Golesh could have gone clean slate with the program — but isn’t
the right approach to retaining talent, given Auburn’s recent situation
the quarterback situation and the Deuce Knight debate among fans
putting the importance of recruiting into the proper context
a reminder of why Auburn decided to hire Alex Golesh in the first place
why bringing over USF staffers (and maybe talent) makes sense
building the Year 1 staff of assistants, including a couple of new names
Beef O’Brady’s?
what went so wrong for Auburn basketball at Arizona
why this particular loss isn’t a reason to hit the panic button
how Auburn basketball didn’t look connected enough on both ends of the floor
putting Auburn’s 7-3 start in the proper context
looking ahead to the rest of the schedule, including that Purdue trip next week
A NOTE FROM DAN: Because of technical difficulties, we had to edit out the original ending of this episode. Justin provided thoughts about his visit to Tucson (he described some delicious Mexican food) and I lamented the looming end of 80s pro wrestling on Peacock and its uncertain streaming future. I vow that we will revisit both subjects in the future on The Auburn Observer Podcast.
