I don't know why, but I feel better about this transfer knowing he wasn't just following Jimmy Horn to chase $$$ with Deion. He's obviously gonna have plenty of NIL opportunity there too, but it feels different to me

Yeah good for him to go to Auburn and play for a winner like Hugh Freeze  and Cadilac versus his other coaches.

Yea it makes total sense for him to want to go to Auburn. Wish him all the best!

My only issue with Battie is don't lie and say you are going to finish what you started when asked about the transfer portal.  Just say that you are keeping your options open.  We can respect that better.

All bets are off in the NIL era, especially with the kinds of bags that conference drops.

I believe his father said that quote came in the context of not quitting when CJS was fired midseason. BB at least finished out the season busting his ass, unlike a couple others that we saw down the stretch.

Battie to Auburn. It will be interesting to see him in the SEc under Freeze. I am sure he got paid nicely. Weaver is probably going to Arksansas or Colorado.

Why USF transfer RB Brian Battie's dad said his son chose Hugh Freeze, Auburn football

---

The Montgomery Advertiser spoke to transfer RB Brian Battie's dad, Tommie, about his son's decision to join coach Hugh Freeze on the Plains.

 

This is no different than me going to FSU for Law School... I love USF but FSU had something USF didn't.... Wish the kid the well

If you don’t think players want to play for people who have been there and succeeded you’re crazy. Coaches will always matter. We need a clause in all HC contracts. Hire better if your a new HC, I’m going to get troughy. Not who your comfortable with.

Not always . . . and most successful coaches were not stellar players.

Definitely think that was it but even it wasn’t, it’s not a lie if he truly believed that at the time he said it. Things can change ….

$$$ money talks and winning pedigree coach at a program  with national championships versus  an unknown coach. Freeze and Cadillac  will probbaly help his player development more for any future NFL potential.

Bottomline. We are breaking in a new line. He had one year of success at RB, because of his size his accomplishments would have been looked as being in AAC. If he can go to Auburn and have another good year vs SEC players, his stock increases for NFL. He made best decision for his future and no one should blame him for it.
