Wilson doesn't seem to be a high priority at all right now for LSU so there is a good chance they don't offer at all. Of course you be excited lmao
I wouldnt be excited about this commitment at all if i were a aggie. Nor would i be to excited if he committed to the longhorns. This seems like a strategic security blanket commit until LSU comes calling. Im glad he did pull the trigger, because as Mex said, "Let's go after Gustafson now." It works its self out and we can focus on a great prospect in Gustafson who is more likely to stick to a commitment.

Kyle Hicks has committed.
DB Victor Davis has committed to A&M

That's a good pickup. I'd expect A&M to really go hard after James White now.
I wonder if the RSJ commit is going to go down tomorrow and Samples the next day.
How does rivals go about choosing a position for a player and do they ever change it? Ex. Kyle Hicks as an ATH.
i think great chance he sticks with ags. aggies have been strong on offensive side of ball and sumlin is an offensive mind no doubt. not to mention don't rule out the bad blood of him feeling shunned by LSU.
really for me the biggest pickup and surprise for a&m has been isaiah golden. that one was huge. they need top DL recruits as their defense has been abysmal and now their headed to SEC where they need serious depth. they need to make their #1 focus manning at this point, because if they don't get guys like that they will never be compe ive- no matter how many top offensive prospects they get.
I'll agree TAMU is a safety blanket. Congratulations to the young man, he has his college education paid for regardless. If Wilson has a strong senior season, I think LSU will offer. At the very least, his commitment to TAMU will get LSU' decision.
I think Maurice Porter should be invited to JD2. My gut feeling on Gustafson is that he isn't very interested in Texas. Hopefully that changes. He's as good or better than Ish Wilson.
The Hicks news is awesome, but Searels lost one of his top 4. Things will get interesting if Wilson comes to JD2.
Who will commit tomorrow? Samples, RSJ, and Smythe are possibilities.

Im not trying to discredit how big of a commit this is. No doubt that a commitment from Ishmael deserves excitement, but I just couldnt buy all the way into it knowing how much he likes LSU and how animate he is about it. That worry would nullify my excitement some. Texas was able to get 3 quality prospects late in the recruiting season last year just based off of their initial love for the school. Texas slow played them and a lot of people may have thought that those prospects weren't a high priority for Texas, but when Texas came around, showed interest and offered, they eventually committed. Not saying that this is a definite to happen, it just worries me. That would be a big get for the Aggies if he stays true to the commitment.
El Mahico posted on OBs that RSJ committed last night at about 12:30 am. We'll see what happens today.
That would be a good way to start the day, Sunday's with bill going to be booming tonight.
You ain't kidding. Should push a 1,000 comments tonight.

(3rdcoast comes in)
RRRRRRRRRRR SSSSSSSSSSSS JAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
Thanks to Designated T for the Texas A&M Junior Day list. Here are the guys Texas is after that were in attendance yesterday:
TE, Jeremiah Gaines, Red Oak
TE, Durham Smythe, Belton
OL, Ishmael Wilson, Dallas Bishop Dunne
DT, Justin Manning, Dallas Kimball
DE/LB, Deon Hollins, Jr., Fort Bend Marshall
ATH, Jacorey Warrick, Cypress Falls
Props to the Ags for picking up Wilson. I'm not sure anyone saw that coming. Definitely the recruiting surprise of the year so far in my eyes and probably their biggest pick-up so far if you exclude WR Derrick Griffin who seems to be headed for JUCO.
Quotes from ATH Kyle Hicks after his commitment to UT:
"It went down about 30 minutes ago. I talked to coach (Bruce) Chambers, and he put me on with coach (Mack) Brown," Hicks said. "I told them I wanted to play for the University of Texas. They were very excited about it. They said they can't wait to get me down there."
"I just love the coaching staff. Coach (Major) Applewhite and me have a great relationship," Hicks said. "I've been talking to (Texas) every other day, getting to know them. I just see myself playing there, and I didn't want to pass it up."
"They said we all have our different styles of playing. They were saying I could be a wildcat back, work in different formations, things like that," Hicks said. "Whatever they need. I'm just happy. I'll play hard, try to get Ws for my team. Whatever they ask."
"It's a pretty big relief, not having to worry about what school you have to go to," Hicks said of his decision. "Now I can focus on getting better in the off-season and winning a state championship next year."
Florida's recruiting class is worth paying attention to because of Will Muschamp, DE/LB Mike Mitc and DB Marcell Harris. Anyway, they picked up six commitments yesterday at their Junior Day; five four-stars (#94, #111, #234) and two of them are safeties.

Wow, is Griffin really going to have to go the JUCO route? Hadn't heard that.
It's February of his junior year. He might be a little behind schedule right now but it's impossible to say if he won't be able to qualify yet. Way to early.
You may be correct but he did flunk his way off of the Terry basketball team this season according to 24/7. Sounds like he's got quite a bit of work to do rather than just being a fringe qualifier at this point. He's an Aggie but I do hope he gets it together.
It's not definite but if this were his senior year instead of his junior year, it wouldn't be looking good for him.
Some mini-updates from OrangeBloods:
**OL Ishmael Wilson will not be attending UT's second Junior Day.
**QB JT Barrett says he still plans to attend JD2 and there is some talk that UT may offer despite having Swoopes committed. Barrett has always been a Texas fan so there could be an attempt to sell him on coming in and competing for the job. If that were to somehow go through, that's the ultimate recruiting job by the UT staff considering Barrett could be a star for another school.
**The commitment of ATH Kyle Hicks will not affect RB Dontre Wilson at all. They were offered with different roles in mind and UT is still sitting pretty with Wilson.
Ugh. It's 1:34 and still no commit for the day. Twitter is saying the RSJ commit is untrue.
I read somewhere that UT has a chance to get commits from both QB's. I wonder how Swoopes would feel about that.
Ricky Seals-Jones to announce Wednesday.
Wednesday at 1 pm to be more precise.
