Texas A&M is up to No. 3 in the Recruiting Rankings with two more 2019 commitments on Super Bowl Sunday from four-star recruits in receiver Kam Brown and cornerback Bobby Wolfe. And more seems to be coming. It's obviously very early in 2019 and there will be twists and turns as it ebbs and flows, but as it stands right now, the Aggies are in great shape for many more of the state's top targets. I went ahead and put in Crystal Ball forecasts for those prospects, five-star offensive tackle Kenyon Green, receivers Theo Wease and Arjei Henderson, defensive end Marcus Stripling, safety Demani Richardson and cornerbacks Erick Young and Marquez Beason. Beyond those two, the Aggies are in great shape with Top two-way athlete Jeffery Carter and defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal.

[Blake]

:lmao :lmao :lmao op

[pgardn]

I got him on ignore but I think it would be great if he actually started one and a bunch of Aggies joined in. That would be fun. I would not mind reading it. Or any other school. If he could pull off a TFloss and actually get people reading and responding without major trollage, cool.

[yavozerb]

I think it's a great idea..hopefully keeps it updated

[playblair]

OT Kenyon Green, Atasocita: The state’s top-ranked player, the Aggies are in very good shape with the five-star tackle. He publicly named A&M his leader and it is going to take a lot of work by another school to keep him from being an Aggie.


DE Marcus Stripling, Katy Mayde Creek: The 6-2.5/260 defender was blown away by the new staff in Aggieland. He was already really high on A&M and is in College Station frequently to see friends. It is likely an A&M/OU battle but the Aggies are positioned well.

[rjv]

OP aside, it's not a bad idea to create separate threads for other colleges. i've always felt bad about having to post aggie information on the texas thread. of course, tfloss does such a great job with the texas thread it's just so hard to pass up. (i actually am considering starting a thread on local high school talent - or even afar if we can get input- so we can give relevant updates and takes on the high school players.)

I actually see him end up in Arkansas, lots of family ties and the new coaching staff that can showcase his talent.

Not a big loss for aggy as I think Jimbo is looking for a QB like Winston that has some running ability. I know he went and visited Roshon Johnson a few weeks back.

Gunnell must have picked up on something that must have made him nervous about his situation with A&M. i agree that Arkansas is a front-runner but i wouldn't rule out OSU either.

[Vito Corleone]

Maybe Gunnell and A&M was a mutual parting of ways? Jimbo has as I understand it visited several top QBs for the 2019 cycle.

he's trending a&m from what i have read.

[Vito Corleone]

You guys are in the drivers seat for a ton of talent.

Easily the team to beat for Kenyon Green, and Theo Wease. According to 247 that would be a sweep of the top 3 in state. Though, I don't think they will end up top 3 in the final rankings, but it's still good to know if your an Aggy.

But truth is I'd rather see these kids end up at A&M than Oklahoma (if Texas can't have them).

i read somewhere that the hope is to crack the top 10 after three years, which seems like the most realistic view to take for one hoping for a best case scenario in a short time frame.

[Vito Corleone]

Top 10 in 3 years is very realistic. Jimbo needs 4 straight years of great recruiting and getting a guy like Jamis who can win games on his own. That is how you beat Bama and Georgia. Frankly, I'm thinking Florida is going to be back pretty fast with Mullen leading the way.

Keep this in mind, Saban realistically probably only has 4 to 6 years left in him, maybe less. That is when you guys need to be ready to strike and take over the West. I have a hard time seeing it happen before he leaves. But you have Jimbo for 10 years so we shall see.

Kyle Tharp | Cibolo Steele | OT | 6’6/310
When Cibolo Steele reloads, it reloads. The monster tackle is another underclassmen prospect for the Knights coming with elite potential. At 6’6 and over 310 pounds, Tharp already looks the part. Tharp could be a huge asset to what is already one of the strongest positions at Steele in 2018.

from what i know, ags are still recruiting nakobe dean (ILB from MS), WR dylan wright from mesquite, adisa issac (DE from NY), marcus stripling (DE from mayde creek) and devonta lee from LA (athlete). i can't see more than 25 or 26 tops assuming there are no decommits.

[Vito Corleone]

Jimbo took a number of commitments from some lower tier guys, I wonder if he might cut a few guys lose to make room for better prospects? Not saying he would do that, but if he did, I'm curious how that would go over with THSCA. They don't forget things like that.

I considered that as a possibility, that he would let go of some of the three stars to make room for another four star but that would be a new low and would set a dangerous precedent if he did so. i certainly hope that is not what transpires.

“Honestly, after what they said they were building, and all the hype everybody was giving them, they didn’t live up to all that hype,” he said. “Their first game, and it’s Maryland, and I understand they’ve lost to them like two or three years in a row, still, you can’t lose that game.”
He added, “Honestly, the only team that I haven’t fully closed on is Alabama. Texas is completely out of the picture.”

his comments are indicative of what players are thinking in regards to underperforming programs. a&m better show something against both clemson and bama or leal may very well decommit and pledge to bama instead.

[Vito Corleone]

I want to revisit this Leal decision in December to see if it was a good one or a bad one. There is still a lot of football to be played. Texas lost to a Maryland team, that is probably on the same talent level as a WVU or Tech. Ags beat a 1AA team. I guess it's all about perception especially when it comes to recruiting.

Even if they get clobbered by Clemson and Bama, I'm sure Leal will find enough positives to want to stick with them. It's what happens when the Ags play USCe, LSU, Miss St, and Ole Miss that will determine the direction of the program.

i actually saw him at the steele game as he was in attendance. he had no college gear on, if that matters. i think bama has a shot at him but there are always external factors that come into play such as family so who knows.

texas is going through their version of the a&m fran years but, unlike fran, texas continues to recruit well so that gives them an advantage in that regard. i think it's harder for a&m to recover from lean years than it is for texas to, mainly due to the brand name and appeal of texas to recruits. but if herman continues on this downward spiral, then the next coaching hire has to be out of the park.

It already has to be. Right now this is looking like 1984 all over again. Back then Oklahoma was winning championships, Aggies had Jackie and they were on an upward swing. Then you had the out of state teams raiding Texas for top talent like Miami Nebraska, and Notre Dame. Texas isn't in as bad a shape because unlike back then when Akers refused to recruit Inner-City kids, Herman at lease is doing a good job recruiting.

Still Texas can't afford another David McWilliams, or John Macovich, they need a proven commodity. Texas boosters have screwed this up too many times, they always want to get their man, well this is where we are now. Texas needs CDC to step up and take the bull by the horns and get the man to get the job done. If that means breaking the bank then they should do it. Offer Dabo a 5 year 50 million contract and make Clemson either match or make him say no.

This is the only sure thing Texas that can do to dig itself out of this whole mess.

And my goodness, Texas needs to get rid of the LHN and either move conferences or start a conference network. LHN is worthless while Texas sucks, and even if they were good, the only thing worth watching is Texas game day. Back when when this thing was starting up the idea was to fill in programming with high school games, but the NCAA shot that down. Now we are left with this abomination that really does nothing but create bad will with other schools. Time to call it a failure and move on.

[Vito Corleone]

remember when herman hired beck over brewster :lol

1038955594315706368

revised history. Herman didn't hire beck over Brewster, Brewster chose not to come to Texas. Beck is the OC, Brewster was never going to be a OC, he is a recruiter and nothing more. They let him coach TE at FSU and A&M so he has a title, but the truth is he has one job, and he does it very well.

I'd be okay with moving Beck to TE coach he is still a witch of a recruiter, look at the job he is doing in California.

Apparently, Shephard got into a physical altercation with a coach during spring work, with $9.95ers present, Fast forward to this fall and he's done something similar again.

[Vito Corleone]

I wonder if he has a coach he hates like I did. Back in my senior year of high school, (A very very long time ago). I had a coach that everyone on our team hated, he was a wanna-be hard ass. One day my best friend and I decided to get him back. I played on the offensive line and him on the defensive line. we locked up and acted like we were in a big time struggle, while we were locked up we both ran sideways and just plowed him over. Both of us fell on him. When we got up all the coaches gave us a pat on the back for going at each other so hard.

I still think back on that and laugh my ass off. Today we probably would be kicked out of school and charged with assult.

I wonder if he has a coach he hates like I did. Back in my senior year of high school, (A very very long time ago). I had a coach that everyone on our team hated, he was a wanna-be hard ass. One day my best friend and I decided to get him back. I played on the offensive line and him on the defensive line. we locked up and acted like we were in a big time struggle, while we were locked up we both ran sideways and just plowed him over. Both of us fell on him. When we got up all the coaches gave us a pat on the back for going at each other so hard.

As I said on the Texas thread, I'd love to get him and him keep his commitment, but the truth is, if he does flip it will be two commitments after two emotional games. the likelihood is he will just do it again and again. I'd prefer him to take in everything and then make a well thought out decision not an emotional decision he will later regret.

Oh and lol jumbo fisher

[rjv]

overall, i wasn't too disappointed with the bama loss. this is the scariest bama team i've seen in the saban years as they have their typical defense, RBs and WRs but they finally have a great QB. ags moved the ball here and there and shut down the Bama running game but the secondary was shredded. it's no wonder that the aggies have been focusing on the secondary in recruiting. mond missed some shots but held up fairly well. and the front seven for a&m finally looks like an SEC front seven. what they lack is an edge rusher. as for bama, georgia is the only team that i think has a shot at them. auburn doesn't have enough of an offense (same for LSU).

The UK was a nice game to watch for a serious football fan but not for the casual fan in the least. in fact, it was the stereotypical SEC game and the exact opposite of the red river shootout, which was the quintessential big XII game. love the remarkable contrast of the current run defense compared to the run defense of the past seasons. a&m has legit run defense for the first time in at least five seasons. still a work in progress as a team overall but this is a game that sumlin would have lost.

Your run defense looks great, but your pass defense not so much. I still think you are going to struggle when you face Miss St, Auburn, LSU and maybe Ole Miss. I still see you guys as a 7-5 team, but we are going to know a lot more about this team this weekend. KY was a good win, but I think USCe is the type of game that is a trap for a lot of teams going into the stretch you are going into.

the pass defense is definitely a work in progress and UK wasn't exactly much of a test. it's clear why so much of an emphasis has been placed on recruiting DBs as this is clearly the spot that the coaches identified as the weak link on the defensive side of the ball. they also could use some edge rushers. i'm not even looking as far as the end of the season stretch as so much can happen between now and then. SC will be a challenge for the team as they just got themselves a nice win and have a little momentum now.

ZACH EVANS
Interview conducted 10/4.
Upcoming visits:
"I'm going to A&M Saturday. I don't have anything else planned just yet."
Teams he's been watching on TV:
"OU, and Alabama."
On Texas:
"Texas is still my team. They're still good. But, you know, it's just I feel there's more they could be doing. Other than that I want to see them flex out the back more because I don't just want to run the ball."

[rjv]

well, at least evans got to see how a&m would utilize a talented back as they ran the hell out of williams but also threw the ball to him as well.

[Vito Corleone]

LOL, I'm starting to not give a flip about Evans, not sure how he missed the TD catch by Watson on Saturday. Seriously, he doesn't come across as the smartest guy. No matter, Texas survived not getting Adrian Peterson, I'm sure they can survive not getting Evans.

Mond is gonna be very good.
Excellent RB at ATM. Excellent TE and nice big receivers.
Run defense was very good but they stacked the line as the game progressed, daring Kentucky to pass. So to the D coordinator’s credit, he knew the QB was not good.

I thought the game was fun just because it exposed Kentucky. They got one of the most experienced teams in college FB but that only goes so far.

The LB from Kentucky was a blast to watch, he was fantastic. Best player on the field imo and not knowing the Olines well. I will say that Kentucky had one Olineman that was mauling people. I think it was #71, I will look the name up.


Edit:
Logan Stenberg. The dude just basically tossed a LB to the sidelines and crushed Mack a number of times although as the game wore on, Mack started to hang and make plays. If not the NFL, pro rasslin.

credit to stoops for maximizing his talent but i agree that kentucky will lose some more games. the win against florida and SC were big for them though. i think the run defense will be consistent all season long as they have been solid all season, including the 'bama game. they just lacked a pass rush and their secondary was shredded. considering how often teams ran for more than 300 yards per game against them just over the past two or three seasons, i'm very happy with that. loved #41 for UK. i saw that he is projected as the top OLB in the upcoming draft.

SC will definitely test a&m again so time will tell if they are definitely moving to being less of a middle of the pack SEC team.

They took 23 last year so at the minimum they can take 2 extra, however some of the 23 might have also been early enrollees so they could actually take more than that. It will be interesting to see. But I also thought it was a hard ceiling of 25 in the SEC?

aggy leads for banks


Houston Madison four-star cornerback Bobby Wolfe made a surprise early commitment to Texas A&M in February, but decided to open things up less than a month later. Then, in July, he again committed to the Aggies, doing so at The Opening Finals.

While the 6-foot-1, 180-pound defender remained relatively solid for a while, he had recently been talking to other programs. He scheduled an unofficial visit to Arkansas earlier this season, but never took it. He had also been in contact with both Arizona and Louisville quite a bit recently.


On Sunday, Wolfe and the Aggies parted ways again, and it is likely for good this time. He spent the weekend on an official visit to Arizona and Crystal Ball predictions have been coming in for the Wildcats.

Wolfe held offers from schools all over the country when he made his commitment to Texas A&M. However, off-field issues caused some concern this fall with the Aggies as well as other programs.

The loss of Wolfe from the commitment list only makes a small dent in the total team points and the Aggies remain at No. 2 in the team recruiting rankings, behind only Alabama.

A&M has 24 commitments in the class of 2019 with eight of those being ranked in the national top 100. The Aggies still have a pair of cornerbacks committed in four-stars Erick Young of Fort Bend Bush and Jeffery Carter of Mansfield Legacy. Both are national top-1oo prospects.


Wolfe is ranked as the No. 31 prospect in the state of Texas and the No. 28 cornerback. He was also once a very early Ole Miss commit, pledging to the Rebels the summer prior to his junior season

As I understand it, Banks has some character issues as well.

turned into a big XII game out of nowhere. kidding aside, i'll take the end of the LSU streak and a 8 game win season in a transition year. this is the sort of game that sumlin's team would have been crushed in.

[pgardn]

That was indeed a game that required mental fortitude.
Something that I believe has been missing since Slocum.
Big energy game. Now if UT loses against Oklahoma we have a bowl game ready to be a big one. Let's do this.

I still don't get why LSU can't actually get a QB they can develop with a passing game. Together. I guess it takes a great Hawaiian arm to convince some coaches. Kentucky has shown this year you can have a solid senior team with everything in place but without a QB and receivers....

If ATM is to ever actually challenge, guys like Mond, who can move and have a throwing upside are required. LSU just running QB sweeps? And it works because the D for both teams are just dead tired. 30 carries for your QB... That's supposed to be death in the SEC. And LSU refusing to double what looks like a great SO receiver? That game allowed a bunch of weird stuff to be displayed.

[Vito Corleone]

Don't know what the coaching situation is like at LSU, but if they want a power passing game with a coach that can develop a QB they should be offering the world to Kingsbury. Personally this would be bad for all of college football as it would put them right up there with Bama and unleash the Kracken on the rest of college football.

if a&m wins & texas loses a&m would finish 9-4 & texas 9-5

[Vito Corleone]

Texas played for their conference championship, When the Ags do this, then they have accomplished something. people can talk all they want about how great the SEC is, but the Ags lost to every good team they played except for LSU.

Rank their wins from 1-8 and and compare them to Texas 1-8

Ags Texas
1. LSU 1. blOwU
2. Kentuky 2. ISU
3. South Carolina 3. TCU
4. Ole Miss 4. Tech
5. Arkansas 5. USC
6. ULM 6. KSU
7. UAB 7. Baylor
8. Northwestern St 8. Kansas

If you go by the Saragin power rankings - Oklahoma was the most impressive win between the two schools, followed by the Ags wins over LSU Kentucky and USCe. After than it's pretty much all Texas. ISU, TCU, Tech USCw and KSU are all bunched together from 41 to 52. Ole Miss and Baylor go back to back at 68 and 69. UAB is 77 and Arkansas is 100. The rest of the Ags wins are ranked below 100.

If you really want to compare who had the better season I'd stll point to Texas.

splitting hairs on who had the better season, really. the records for the ags and horns this season say as much about how much the programs had dropped off as anything else. can't be too giddy about a four loss season unless it points to a brighter forecast which i think is something that can be said of both teams.

It's funny, I look at every loss Texas had this year and with the exception of losing to Oklahoma I feel like Texas should have won each one. in a way it makes me sick but under the previous coaching staff I think Texas would be under .500 this year. I'm happy with the season because it is a step in the right direction and for the first time in a very long time, I see progress and a staff that knows what they are doing.

For the first time in a long time I see an Ag coach that knows what he is doing.

I'm also pretty sure that from the way things look right now, that next preseason you are going to see the Ags and Horns both start the season in the top 10. With your schedule you won't finish there, but I tink you will start there. I see Texas having only two tough games next year in LSU and blOwU. The rest are very winnable.

the only blown game from a&m this season, imho, was the auburn game. i also think if they had played better, they could have upset clemson. i think they will be ranked in the top 15 to start but not sure about the top 10. a lot will depend on how they perform against NC state. they have three brutal away games in clemson, georgia and LSU next season and then bama at home so i see another 8-4 record as quite likely but i wouldn't see that in a terrible way. the real barometer will be the 2020 season.

texas will be very interesting next year. they can compete for a playoff spot if everything falls into place.

I did enough digging to know Miami Northwestern High is not located in a neighborhood with money. So the likelihood that Mr Baker comes from money is low. I don't want to assume that because he is black he is poor, hell Deon Sanders kid comes from serious money as does many young black kids. However he attended a high school in a poor neighborhood.

I don't know what is going on, but it's pretty obvious the NCAA is turning a blind eye to all of this.

Of course I don't for a moment think Texas is innocent but I'm not too sure they are cheating on the level the SEC is going at it.

A lot of guys are big Roshon Johnson fans, and I've been trying to tell them to cool their jets with him. He is a talent, but he is not a freshmen phenom and will need a redshirt and probably another year to learn how to pass from the pocket.

A&M picks up CB Ainias Smith of Fort Bend Dulles.

CB Marcus Banks looks to be headed to Alabama.

sternberger is a big loss but at least there are some big time tight ends coming in. looks like they're going to get some immediate playing time.

marcus banks would've been a nice pick up.

Based on that statement, I wouldn't recruit him, I don't care if he is a 6'star. Texas had enough issues with guys who think they should get special treatment because of their elite status. I want guys who want to come in and work not guys who think they are not ordinary. He is in for a rude awakening when he gets to college and no one cares if he is "no ordinary dude".

blah blah blah. He is rated as the #18 player in the state? Texas outrecruited the ags last year and they have zeroed in on several higher rated corners than him this year. Texas is sitting pretty with Kelee Ringo, Clark Philips III and Elias Ricks. I like the guy, but he is being slow played by Texas because of Ringo and Philips, not to mention the kid from Georgia who the staff has fallen in love with.

You can say all the stupid stuff you want, Texas has the best passing QB in the state locked up and will lock up the top offensive line. Did Evans commit at the SB party? No? He didn't show up? Yea, they are owning nothing this year.

Cibolo Steele has been Longhorn territory for years. To go get an elite DB like Jones, who the “leading experts” have had pegged for Texas shows you Jimbo owns this state

[rjv]

ainias smith signed with a&m last night, christian williams chose the 'canes over a&m and bama and josh ellison has decided to gray shirt and focus on his academics. only drama for a&m tomorrow will be the status of braedon mowry and christopher russell's decision (arkansas or a&m). shepherd's choice will be anti-climatic as he seems to be dead set on the horns.

[rjv]

christopher russell to a&m (big one as LB is probably a&m's biggest need on the defensive side of the ball).

There is a guy driving around a Lamborghini at the University of Texas that also came from the Dallas area that also was a late bloomer in high school, oh and he also won the Thorpe award, aggsy bitched about him being overrated as well.

Care to guess what his name is?

All I read about Owens at the AA game was the rave reviews how he was blowing away the competition at the practices, he was a man among boys there. He is 6'2 and 197 lbs, and runs a 10.4 100 Meters. Seriously, how are you not impressed? He is already a grown ass man. How anyone can think this kid isn't legit is crazy, there is a night and day difference between a kid who is 6'2 and 160 lbs and one who is 197, and can still move with the same speed.

All those guys there were wowed by him and I'm sure there are a lot of major programs kicking themselves because they didn't see him first. I don't care what his offer list looks like, what did JJ Watts offer list look like?

Ags are going to have a solid top 10 class, but I don't see it being top 5 this cycle. They are going to lose minimum of 4 games. This will relegate them to a second tier bowl. Then you add in that Texas is going to get their fair share of the top 25 kids in the state this cycle. My guess is they will be a bigger player for kids outside the state of Texas.

Here is who I think they will get this cycle. (besides who they already have committed).

QB - Malik Hornsby
WR - Troy Omeire
RB - Seth McGowan

That will give them 5 of the top 25 kids in state as listed by 247 right now. They have some work to do because blOwU and LSU are hitting Texas hard this cycle.

From what I'm reading I think Texas gets Evans and a total of 10 of the top 25 this cycle. I don't see Texas losing more than 2 games this coming season, which means they will likely play in a big boy bowl game again.

[DesignatedT]

A&M is definitely making more of a push outside the State this cycle but I still think they finish with a top 5 class. Long way to go.

I ultimately think Evans ends up at Clemson or Georgia.

yes, i would be surprised if a&m yielded another top 5 class next year and that is because of their likely record after this coming season. they would do well just to get 4 losses (georgia, lsu, bama and clemson). jimbo will have to sell to his recruits the notion of the process and them being a part of that process. some recruits will buy in and others will want to go someplace where they can win right away.

forgot to mention that a&m had offered 2021 DB kaleb higgins back in the june camp. his value is rising and should even more next season. i expect him to be seeing quite a lot of time at WR as well. he was actually at austin bowie but transferred to cibolo steele this past spring. steele's WR corp will be one of the best in the state and a&m may start looking at steele WR daniel jackson also as he just picked up some offers from arizona state, iowa state and USC.

Lol I don't even know where to start here. You need to just leave here and go join Texags and eat up everything Looch says.

1st off, King isn't even an aggy commit and Texas never went after him and got the 2 guys we wanted, but by all means, tell us all how aggy is dominating Texas on this front.

Jones started looking good after he was moved from CB ( where he was getting beat regularly ) to Safety. We all know aggy loves putting Safety's at CB.

No surprise with Demas, but he's a fool for going to aggy. Anybody that knows football knows TE's and RB's are the focal point of Jimbo's offense. Outside of Kelvin Benjamin what WR has ever done anything in a Jimbo offense? I'll hang up and listen. If he's fine with getting half the touches he would in Texas's offense then more power to him.

You keep up the Mack Brown "scared to death" attitude now OK? I'm sure in your mind aggy is going to have a better season than Texas this upcoming season.

essentially, a&m runs a balance offense with 2,446 total rushing last season and 3.144 passing. Of that passing, WR's accounted for 1,893 of those yards (61%). Quartney Davis and Cameron Buckley had stong seasons and once they came back from their injuries, both Ausborn and Rogers had breakout performances that put them on the NFL radar, especially Rogers (who had breakout performances against both LSU and NC State). as to jones, i saw him play every game last year and he is best when he is at man to man coverage. the steele coaches had him play zone quite often (as a corner) and his development in the secondary seemed to be hampered by poor schemes. physically, he is a beast and has great skills.
