This is just one of many, many more recruiting battles Texas A&M will win.


shortly after this quote, an article comes out, where Ridgeway said the following...


100% with Texas

and now they lose Monroe to... :lmao tulane

Kind of a weird switch. Tulane must be offering him a chance at QB.

[The Reckoning]

that's conference usa recruiting for you!

if you look at it from a coaching angle, makes perfect sense.

[Pelicans78]

Tulane's new coach is from New Orleans and was the WRs coach of the Saints until the season ended. Not sure what kind of offense he is installing. Apparently he's already received quite a few commitments from the New Orleans area since he started 2 weeks ago.

[The Reckoning]

ive always been surprised that tulane hasnt had more of a presence because of its location. the hire might give tulane the full support of the NO area (instead of LSU), so who knows what might happen.

lol blue chip. I'm not too worried about this guy and I don't think Sumlin is either. Monroe was on record saying he was a upset that it took Sumlin 4 weeks to contact him after getting the job, when Sumlin immediately contacted Matt Davis, Trey Williams and Bralon Addison within 3 days of being hired. Not sure he wanted the kid at all tbh.

Now Losing Corey Thompson to LSU and possibly Bralon Addison to Oregon are definitely a blow to this class.

lol thread full of t-shirt fans.

and I must have forgot that UTSA was tearing up the recruiting trail!

We haven't played an SEC game yet and aren't officially members until July 1st.So you won't have the SEC Edge® until then?


and lol roadrunners. don't you have your own forum?Last I checked, UTSA is technically a college and hell -- we aspire to one day possess the http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1765275621/CUSA_Edge_normal.png

We'll have to wait and see. It's true we lost Monroe and Thompson.We've also added quite a few guys since announcing the move.

You wouldn't know this so just run along if you don't pay attention to recruiting.

You wouldn't know this so just run along if you don't pay attention to recruiting.I sense the passage of time, so I know players get added every year. This thread got my attention because you and the other Aggies were bragging about how the SEC Edge® was going to be an instant and obvious boon to A&M recruiting.

Sorry U mad.

[Pelicans78]

Kevin Sumlin's gonna have rude awakening in the SEC.

"Rude" isn't the word to describe the awakening Sumlin is going to see.:lol
Poor guy, wont last 3 years

UT class of '12 here

:hat

[benefactor]

Aggie seems to be lacking in the sales pitch dept. According to Santos' mom the crew that recruited her son couldn't get a homeless man to accept a stack of hundred dollar bills.

In the end I think at the least it's going to take two years for them to have some success in the sec. These kids don't want to waste their career by getting their ass beat in every week. If the start winning things will change, but the couldn't win in the big 12 so I don't see things changing over there.

Where did Thomas Johnson and DeVante Harris end up? I remember TJ dropped his commit from Texas and Harris dropping OU. Haven't heard where they faxed their LOI's.

TIA

DeVante Harris is the #3 ranked Corner in the nation

Thomas Johnson is the #4 ranked WR in the nation.

Are you implying that they aren't good steals? lmao

Both are higher ranked than Torshiro Davis. Did you consider that a big steal?

I think Davis flipping from LSU on this particular morning is a bigger steal, but that is mainly due to the circumstances. If Johnson had not decommitted previously, possibly not. You should be less butthurt now that you are going to the land o'plenty tbh. My fault for not blue fonting tho, sorry.

[Brutalis]

I heard about this earlier, what a dumb fucking kid. You guys see the video of Philon, a DT from Alabama that put on their hat this morning only to get his schollie pulled? MAN watching that was just wow.

[johngateswhiteley]

Call me crazy, but A&M ended up with a top 15 class.. considering, I would say that is quite good. Nothing funny or sad here.

Not a good idea to compare just 2 players in ATM class when UT can pretty much stack up 15-20 players with national rankings...Never has 1-2 players made a class great, its all about depth..Atm had a good recruting class and UT had a great class. All of this is strictly on paper and will have to be talked about in 2-3 yrs to see which class made the most noise on the field.
