How big a week has Hugh Freeze had on the recruiting trail?

Well, while the Auburn football coach was being thrown in the pool by recruits in celebration of Perry Thompson’s flip, Bruce Pearl showed some love on social media after the news break.

In fact, the Auburn basketball coach summed up the success with a two-word tweet: “It’s Freezing!”

On Saturday, the Thompson wide receiver switched from Alabama to Auburn.

Thompson, who had been committed to Alabama since June of 2022, flipped on Saturday. Malcolm Simmons, a four-star athlete out of Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, announced on Saturday as well.

Then, of course, on Wednesday, 5-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick committed on Wednesday.

Pearl has always been one to show support for other sports on the Plains. In June of 2022, he showed his support for the baseball team. Who could forget in 2021 when he went shirtless in the student section for a football game? Cam Newton was with him.
