1. Pretty sure both Dajon Harrison & Kelvontay Dixon were contingency takes because Texas didn't land some of the higher rated WRs on their board. You're probably right about Troy Omeire, I was never excited about him.

2. What was wrong about Herman & his staff chasing after Demas? He was a in-state 5-star deep threat WR recruit that everybody wanted.

3. Have you given up on Kelvontay Dixon? I haven't. Dixon's track speed makes him a good fit for Sark's offense.
Herman had some derogatory things to say about the DFW area while he was at Houston. Always felt that bias carried over to his recruiting and preferring Houston kids.

1. They were. It's the fact they were still recruited ahead of JSN.

2. He accepted a bag early from A&M, once he committed to them he was never coming here. The resources should have been spent elsewhere like on JSN.

3. He doesn't know the playbook and if he doesn't get it by spring he might get pushed out.


I am hoping we grab a couple of WRs in the portal. New WR coach is also a good hire.

:francis: By this logic, shouldn't Sark & his staff get the same criticism for chasing after Evan Stewart after he committed to Aggy? I done heard detailed rumors of the illegal bags he got from Aggy.

Evan didn't commit to Aggie as early as Demas did so that isn't a fair comparison and we also had bags on the table for Evan.

Still crazy to me we've had trouble recruiting WRs. But maybe that changes with the new WR coach.

Are you talking about just NIL bags or are talking about UT was ready to play the bag game?

UT was playing the bag game. A&M just went above and beyond market rates this recruiting class. Going forward the hope is NIL negates the bag game but I think that is naive. I think it'll just serve as a signing bonus going forward.

I'm glad Saban lost. But with Georgia winning the championship, I'm afraid we might lose Arch Manning to Georgia now :francis:

Breh its Arch Manning, his decision won't be based off shyt like this.
Arch Manning would be nice but the #BlackQBAgenda hasn't died in me. Who's supposed to be next C.J. Stroud/Bryce Young/Caleb Williams in the 2023 class?

We just recruited a black QB who I think many people are underrating.

I think the next QB breh in the '23 class is supposed to be the 5-star QB Malachi Nelson that was committed OU when Lincoln Riley was OU's Head Coach & is now committed to USC under Riley.

I finally watched his highlights earlier this week. He looks like the real deal & is perfect for Riley's offense.

Zack Poff breaks down Texas A&M's Class of 2022 which is currently listed as 247Sports No. 1 recruiting class of all-time as of Jan. 13. The Aggies currently have six 5-stars committed or signed and have 16 players rated in the Top 100. They also have 11 of the top 25 players from Texas already signed or committed.


:francis: @dtownreppin214 @Numpsay Scary how A&M came thru & out baggedmen the rest of the country in this 2022 recruiting class.

:yeshrug: Their coach is still Jimbo and Jameis ain't walking through that door. Plus this is A&M we are talking about. I think it will be quite entertaining to see how this plays out.
:mjlit: I hope Jimbo Fisher NEVER feels pressure to hire a new OC. Just keep trying to recreate the 2013 & 2014 FSU offenses.
