Auburn’s staff has a massive challenge on its hands as multiple schools are coming hard after Cam Coleman, and retaining him has to be an absolute top priority. He’s a program-changing talent, and keeping him in orange and blue would say everything about Alex Golesh’s ability to build and protect an elite roster. We break down why he’s so important, what the threats are, and what Auburn must do to secure him long-term.

We also dive into a VERY intriguing new staff hire — someone with deep SEC experience at a high level who could make an immediate impact inside the building. This move may signal exactly the direction Golesh wants this program to go.

And finally, we give some well-deserved love to Xavier Atkins, who was named First Team All-SEC. A phenomenal season and a foundational piece for Auburn moving forward.

Auburn is quietly assembling the financial firepower needed to build and maintain a Top 10 roster in college football, and tonight we break down exactly how that works. This isn’t just about NIL checks — it’s about organizational alignment, coordinated fundraising, strategic spending, and understanding how roster investment differs from revenue sharing. It takes everyone pulling in the same direction, and Auburn appears to be doing just that.

We also dive into the early wave of players who have already announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal and what those departures mean for the roster moving forward. Who can Auburn replace easily? Who creates a hole? And how does the new staff plan around it?

The pieces are being put in place — but building a contender in today’s college football requires precision, unity, and serious backing. Auburn finally looks ready for the fight.

Auburn has officially declined the Birmingham Bowl invite, and we break down the real pros and cons of that decision as Alex Golesh begins his tenure on the Plains. Extra practices can be valuable, but with roster turnover, staff transition, and a new system coming, did Auburn actually make the right call by stepping away? With so many teams declining bowl invites this year, it’s clear: bowl games are dying, and college football needs to stop forcing nostalgia and start creating the version of the sport we actually want moving forward.

We also pump the brakes on the basketball panic. This is a new team with tons of new pieces, and chemistry takes time. They’re going to win big games, they’re going to drop some, and they’re going to grow. Let’s give them the space to actually become who they can be.

In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down Auburn Basketball’s tough loss to Arizona, a matchup that exposed some glaring issues for the Tigers. Auburn struggled to establish any real interior presence, getting pushed around in the paint and giving up far too many high-percentage looks. Without a dependable post threat or consistent rim protection, Arizona controlled the game’s physicality from start to finish.

The Tigers’ offensive woes didn’t help either—Auburn endured a cold shooting night from the field and beyond the arc, disrupting their rhythm and forcing rushed possessions.

Still, amid the frustration, there was a bright spot: Tahaad Pettiford’s career night. The sophomore guard delivered a poised, dynamic performance, showcasing his playmaking, speed, and ability to score at all three levels. We dive into what his big performance means for Auburn moving forward and how the team can regroup after this disappointing showing.

Alex Golesh has a massive opportunity today to make his first big recruiting statement as Auburn’s head coach. Five-star WR Jase Matthews has been committed for a long time, but with the staff shakeups and heavy pressure from other programs, can Golesh lock him in and hold off the late pushes? This is a real test of his early recruiting power — and there’s even an outside shot Auburn adds another big-time name to the class.

We break down how Golesh can prove he’s for real on the recruiting trail, what Matthews’ signature would mean for the program, and what momentum Auburn could build heading into January.

Auburn also loses two players to the portal, and we discuss what those departures mean and who to watch as January 2nd approaches — when things could get wild all over again.

In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down the Auburn Tigers’ gritty 83-73 win over NC State Wolfpack — a game that looked sloppy at times but still ended with a big win. Kevin Overton torch-lit the floor with a career-high 29 points (6-of-9 from three, 9 rebounds, and 7 free throws made), while Keyshawn Hall dropped 28 points and 10 boards, the pair combining for 57 of Auburn’s points.

But it wasn’t pretty — the Tigers committed 20 turnovers, 13 in the first half alone, allowing NC State to convert that into 22 points. And on a night where Auburn got the win, guard Tahaad Pettiford was noticeably off his shot — a reminder that this squad still has some rough edges at home.

Finally, we look ahead to Saturday’s daunting trip to the Arizona Wildcats — currently ranked No. 2 — and ask: can Auburn ride Overton and Hall’s hot hands and clean up their ball-handling to steal a road win?
