That would be a scary hire for us from a recruiting standpoint. Franklin is killing it up at Penn state on the field and in recruiting. I think Texas flirted with him but ultimately chose Strong. I remember thinking boy I hope we got this right and unfortunately we did not.

It's funny, all the names were were throwing around during that first round of hires after Mack, yet when it came down to it, we cut it down to two guys.

Charlie Strong and James Franklin.

We had a 50% chance of getting it right and still screwed up. How badly did we screw up? Our AD interviewed Charlie Strong and was so impressed he called Franklin and cancelled the interview. He didn't even give Franklin a chance.

Damn, I'm glad he is gone.

I agree, If A&M landed Franklin, he would be a home run hire, however, it's not something to worry about, they would still find a way to screw it up. Aggsy would screw up a BLT sandwich if you spotted them the Bacon and Tomatoes.

2019 DE Rian Davis of Houston Clear Lake told 24/7 he believes UT is close to offering.

Franklin's agent already preparing to get him a solid raise out of Penn State.

No, and Herman won't announce it.

It's certainly Ehlinger.

OU will attempt to take his head off on runs. Keep Buechele ready. It must be very touchy to tell your freshman QB he is showing great toughness and physicality and then tell him to be smart and judicious with those runs.(And not telling your Sophmore he is not athletic enough given our line). Heard better get some reps every week. We are entering games with a large number of total plays. No more injuries, please...

Weird thought.

Should we want Franklin to have another great year.... or... Hope it's mediocre? Or hope PSU falls apart? If we don't want him at ATM.

Even with all of Penn St's problems with the scandal, I don't think A&M is a step up. At best, a step sideways.

I think Penn St gives him a blank check and I think he takes it

No way PSU falls apart. If we're hoping Franklin doesn't end up at aggie I think the best we can do is hope Sumlin continues to have a respectable season so that he's retained. Kind of odd, I know...Sumlins basically where Strong was late last year: finish strong- retain your job, fall and crumble late- there's the door.

Makes sense.

According to 24/7, 2019 CB Marcus Banks (Spring Dekaney) and 2019 CB Derek Stingley (Baton Rouge, LA) won't make the OU game.

It's a forgone conclusion that Brown is going to be an aggsy. Besides, he is a guy that thinks he can sit during the Anthem. I know he is including Bama as his choices, but there is no way his offer is commitable.

I'd much rather go after Max Wright as a DE/DT, he is going to grow out of the 4-3 DE and would likely be a 3-4 Strong side DE or a DT. My guess is he will show up as a freshmen over 270 and by his junior year he will be close to 300. I'd say his future in the NFL would likely be at DT.

With 18 commitments and two likely de-commitments, We are probably going to sign 9 more guys.
With one space open and if two decommit six spaces is a lot of attrition IMO.

3 Olinemen
2 Dlinemen
2 DBs
1 WR or TE
1 LB

I prefer 1 TE to another WR.

My picks are: Anthony Cook, Mustapha Muhammad, D'Shawn Jamison, Badara Traore, Junior Angilau, Ronnie Perkins, and Joseph Ossai.

If we lose the two commitments we have, my preference is: Cameron Wire, and either Max Wright or Dashaun White.

Of course much of my thought on Aggie commitments centers on if Sumlin is fired or not. I still think he gets the Axe, but there is an outside shot he saves his job.

24/7 saying 2019 WR Langston Anderson (Midlothian Heritage) and 2019 S Demani Richardson (Waxahachie) will be at the OU game tomorrow.
