Transfer portal season is here in the college football world. With players such as Eric Singleton Jr. entering the transfer portal, On3 released an article making predictions for where some players will land. In the article, they predicted that Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. would transfer to the Auburn Tigers.

While that would be a meaningful transfer for the Tigers, On3 also predicts that it would be expensive. They reported that Singleton is expected to command over $1 million in the transfer portal.

With this in mind, fans of other teams started to troll Auburn and its fans on Twitter. Some even said that Auburn is trying to bankrupt itself by signing Eric Singleton Jr.

"Auburn bankrupting themselves," one fan wrote.
"Hugh isn't going to have any money left over for hookers at this rate," one fan commented.
"Seems like a weird destination, considering Auburn has 3 high profile Freshman receivers on their roster (and two of them had great freshman seasons.) Wonder if one of those guys (Coleman, Simmons, or Thompson) may be leaving," one fan added.

Some fans pointed out that it could be a bad idea for Eric Singleton Jr. to go to Auburn considering the team does not have a star quarterback or a track record of success.

"Auburn is Texas am of 2022. Buying players and it will have a negative impact within a year. Why does a stud wr go there without a good QB," one fan wrote.
"It is amazing to me the amount of players that go to a 5-7 auburn team following a 6-7 year. Players will go to a team for $ that hasn't had any sustained success for years," one fan commented.
"This is a wet dream for dirty auburn buying players. It’s nothing new at all for them as this has been their practice for DECADES down on the pasture. It’s just legal now," one fan added.

Eric Singleton Jr. is one of the top wide receivers in the transfer portal

Although an over $1 million payday would be a lot for a team to pay for Eric Singleton Jr., he has proved that he can be worth that price. He is arguably the best wide receiver in the transfer portal this year.

This season at Georgia Tech, he had 56 receptions for 754 yards and three TDs as a sophomore. It was a minor increase on his stats from his rookie year.
