Together, Webb and her staff of four other women have silently been stoking the fire on a recruiting trail that's been set ablaze by Auburn.
Bianca Webb and her team of four other women have been pivotal in Auburn football's recent recruiting success. Back row: Katelyn Lambert, Xaria Wiggins, Haylee Brown; Front row: Reilly Wooten, Bianca WebbBianca Webb woke up with the sun on July 27 and then drove across town, arriving at the home of Hugh Freeze by 6:30 a.m.“Obviously, Big Cat Weekend, you got Big Cat-type of players.
“I knew that was going to happen,” Webb admits, saying she had talked to Harris prior to the event. “The other ones? No, I didn’t know. But it makes you kind of pat yourself on the back.”Freeze said it himself: There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to Auburn’s recruiting efforts.
The evaluation aspect of recruiting is left up to the personnel staff and the coaches. But once a prospect is added to Auburn’s recruiting board, it’s time for Webb and her team to step in – and to step in fast. “It’s so funny,” Webb says. “I always say when it’s time to go onto the next life and have kids and stuff like that, I’m going to have the most patience. I’m just going to excel in that world very well because it’s just so many kids.”
Once a visit is scheduled, a final itinerary is presented to Webb, who will add any relevant notes and then add the visit to Freeze’s calendar if a meeting with the head coach is in order.“There’s no question that’s my comfort zone because that’s the way I was raised – me building genuine, authentic relationships is important,” Freeze said during SEC Media Days in mid-July.
It’s a system, you see: When Freeze sees Webb walk into his office, he knows he’s got about seven minutes left of his allotted meeting time with that recruit.And when Freeze sees Webb stand back up, well, it’s time to zip it. Through one of the surveys received this summer, Webb and her team learned that one of Auburn’s incoming visitors loved chocolate-chip pancakes. So Webb and her team found him some chocolate-chip pancakes.
And since starting her career on the recruiting side of things, Webb has learned how to wear many, many hats. Webb says she and her team have also helped players move into their dorms – including once helping a player move in at 2:30 a.m. while the dorm’s fire alarm was going off., who was looking to transfer from Tulsa, Webb helped book his travel plans, right down to the driver who was set to take him from his hotel to the airport.“I called him like five million times,” Webb recalls, adding that her efforts were unsuccessful.
