As the recruiting timeline approaches its end, programs are making every effort to attract their desired players. Similarly, recruits are striving to secure a spot on their favorite team. Amidst all this, another recruiting battle recently came to an end. The Auburn Tigers successfully flipped Shamar Arnoux’s commitment from the USC Trojans and the Vols. However, it seems that fans do not view this as Shamar’s best move.

On November 15th recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman took to his Instagram account to share an update on Carrollton High School’ four-star cornerback Shamar Arnoux’ flip from the USC Trojans to Auburn Tigers saying, “Auburn flips 4⭐️CB Shamar Arnoux away from USC 🐯” Well, Auburn got Shamar at the time they needed him the most. As coach Hugh Freeze lost Dante Core to Ole Miss last week, Arnoux emerged as the perfect replacement for him, giving an edge to the team. But Shamar’s reason does not align well with the fans’ thought process.

After confirming his switch, Shamar Arnoux revealed his reason for flipping his commitment, saying, “Every time I step foot in Auburn, Alabama, it feels like I’m home.” This home statement quickly instigated fans to take a shot at Shamar over his decision to first switch from Tennessee to USC, then again move to Auburn.

However, Shamar Arnoux also mentioned that with the Auburn Tigers, he will get a chance to play as a true freshman and will be able to make a strong presence in the very first season of his CFB career. And knowing the fact that getting a decent play time for a freshman is a very tough nut to crack, and with Auburn that will not be the case. But it looks like finding a home got him into a tricky spot.

Shamar Arnoux’s difficulty in finding a “home”

Well, Shamar Arnoux’s recent switch from the USC Trojans to Auburn is only landing him at a weird spot, pointing out his indecisive approach toward finding his desired team. Even fans can’t make peace with his team-hopping, and Shamar’s reason for switching only added fuel to the fire as this fan reflected the same emotion with his straightforward comment, which says, “If you gotta keep flipping schools, you don’t know where home is.” But then you cannot completely blame Shamar Arnoux for this decision, looking at USC’s condition this season. It’s more on them than it is on Shamar. But this fan completely disagrees with this notion, saying, “If you gotta keep flipping schools, surely your not good.” Well, it’s too soon to measure Shamar’s capabilities, but 4-5 is not a very recruit-attracting score.

However, it looks like facts and figures don’t seem to hold much value in fans’ opinions, as they are stuck on one thing: Shamar Arnoux switched two programs, but what’s wrong with looking out for your desired team and then finally making a move towards it? But one thing that might have gone wrong on Shamar’s side is his reason for switching because USC can give much more home feels than Auburn ever will. Even this fan highlighted the same thing, saying, “He doesn’t know where home is 🤣🤣.” This has to be the funniest comment on the post, saying, “I don’t know who is more focused.. this kid or the minions trying to find their way home 😂” Even though the fan thinks minions are more determined to find their home, is it definite that Shamar Arnoux has finally found one, or is there something more to it?
