Despite lower-ranked class, Elko completely boxes out Longhorns in important area Pending one big announcement, Texas A&M football cleaned up in one area where the Longhorns' class is lacking. By Graham Harmon | 9:33 AM EST Texas A&M football just signed quite the impressive class for Mike Elko's first year at the helm. Though things didn't end up going the way that Aggie fans wanted down the stretch of the year, the talent that is coming in via the high school ranks is considerable, with plenty of instant impact players to go around. Late in the game, the Aggies added two five-stars at premium positions: highly-regarded wideout Jerome Myles and elite tackle prospect Lamont Rogers. Those are two players who will no doubt make a huge impact on this roster going forward. The strength of this class, though, is in the trenches. That's where you win games in the SEC, as we've seen for years now, and so it's imperative to bring in top prospects at those positions. Mike Elko did so—at the expense of an in-state rival. Texas A&M football helped shut out the Texas Longhorns on elite line prospects in-state The most obvious evidence of this is from the three elite offensive tackle prospects from DFW. Ty Haywood, Michael Fasusi, and Lamont Rogers are all five-star tackles; the Aggies got Rogers, while Fasusi—despite a huge push from the Longhorns—ended up with OU. Haywood still has yet to sign, but is down to Alabama or Michigan. Then, you have what happened with the defensive tackle talent in state. DJ Sanders, out of Bellville, was a guy that Longhorn insiders believed they were getting right up until his commitment, and then they believed once more that they were flipping him right up until he signed. Of course, neither of these things materialized, and he inked with the Aggies. A similar story happened with another of the Ags' top DT prospects in Chace Sims, who Texas kept trying to get on campus during the fall. The Aggies weathered the storm there as well. And we can't forget about Landon Rink. The uber-productive DT out of Houston is a Longhorn legacy, coached by his father Shane Rink—but he will wear the Maroon and White in college. Now, Texas didn't go o-fer. They brought in DE Lance Jackson, who the Aggies never pursued, but is highly-rated by at least one service. They're waiting on the announcement of another five-star in DL Justus Terry, but it's not likely they'll get a five-star DL out of Georgia when the Bulldogs are in the mix. The Longhorns brought in plenty of talent at DB and WR, that's true. But we saw in the Tom Herman era how overloading classes at those spots will end up for your program. You need to have the proper amount of talent on the lines of scrimmage—and in that respect, the Longhorns should be worried.

CDC is the gift that keeps on giving... 🤘

Those grades are questionable for some... you know who I'm talking about 😋

Not sure if portal players will still play or not...

Hopefully Sark changes/adds some routes for our WRs in SEC CCG... need more separation and obviously better Quinn!!! 🤘

Near Pennybacker Bridge.... TEXAS!!! 🤘

Holy Shit...

Damn good in the red zone... would love another year of Golden at Texas 🤘

Sark will do whatever is necessary for Arch to have quality WRs in 2025..

Yeah, Matt Moscona said $1.6mill over 2yrs LSU offer for Kade was beaten by $1mill 1yr offer from Texas...

New portal entry??

Dec 4th Report

Love the battle between cyclones AD and the smu AD regarding CFP rankings... 😋 Pollard responded to Hart by saying he would respect SMU’s ranking if it beats Clemson for the ACC championship. He also added on the fact that the Mustangs hadn’t faced teams like Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech or Syracuse in the regular season, and lost to BYU. Both athletic directors may have a reasonable argument to make when it comes to a few facts and figures. According to ESPN, Iowa State holds a slight edge over SMU in terms of strength of schedule. The Cyclones are ranked at 68th in that metric, while SMU comes in at 75th. The argument flips back in SMU’s favor when discussing ranked victories over the season. The Mustangs defeated Louisville and Pittsburgh when they were Top 25 teams, while Iowa State claims only one ranked win over rival Iowa. Hart ended the back-and-forth on a light note with some encouragement for the Mustangs. “We will continue to control what we can control. Pony Up!” Hart said.

Yeah, he's pressing a little bit instead of letting the offensive opportunities come to him...

Damn... 9-0 start for Texas!!! 🤘

Sources: South Carolina finds next A.D. SEC program turns to proven Big 12 leader John Brice 8 hours ago South Carolina's quest to find a replacement for Ray Tanner atop its athletics program is complete. Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell FootballScoop Wednesday that current TCU Athletics Director Jeremiah Donati will depart the Horned Frogs program for the top spot at the Southeastern Conference program. A formal announcement is expected in the coming days. For Donati, it's a prime opportunity at a state flagship school in college athletics' most competitive conference across all sports, and it brings to an end a decorated run at TCU. Head of the athletics department for seven years, Donati, who has a law degree, has overseen TCU's rise to win eight different national championships in various sports and double-digit Big 12 Conference crowns; his hiring of Sonny Dykes also helped the Horned Frogs reach the College Football Playoff title game two years ago. Tanner, a multiple-time College World Series champion baseball coach for the Gamecocks, has been atop the South Carolina athletics department the past dozen years. It was announced earlier this year that Tanner would wind down his oversight of the Gamecocks's athletics department. He hired Dawn Staley, who quickly transformed South Carolina women's basketball into the nation's top program with a trio of national championships, and also hired Shane Beamer to run South Carolina football. The Gamecocks just defeated rival Clemson to finish 9-3 and are on the cusp of the CFP's 12-team field. South Carolina conducted a months-long national search to find Tanner's replacement, and SMU A.D. Rick Hart was among other finalists before Donati ultimately was the choice.

Yeah, Chad Morris might be next head coach at Texas State once GJ Kinne leaves...
