Hugh Freeze unwavering on coaching 'hard,' regardless of potential attrition: 'The good ones should want that'

AUBURN -- Hugh Freeze has made it perfectly clear recently that he does not love the new world of college football involving the transfer portal and NIL. It's why he's chosen to build the Auburn program through the high school ranks, if at all possible. Freeze's goal is to land the maximum amount of impact high school prospects, and then fill the roster with the best available transfer players that both fit the system and within NIL limits. Freeze talked on Wednesday about not changing his approach to coaching "hard," despite any potential attrition that may come from it.
