There will be a time this offseason where I fear that we don’t have much to talk about in this mailbag.

This is not that week.

The departures of five Auburn football players into the transfer portal since the last mailbag was posted dominated the online chatter and the incoming questions over the last few days. There’s plenty to discuss here, whether it’s the reaction to the transfers or what Auburn will do next.

This week, we also tackle questions about kickers (!), penalty reform, Sharife Cooper’s NBA Draft stock, assorted belts and a lot more. We close with one of the most bizarre questions I’ve ever received.

Let’s go.
