  1. Doubt they're done yet although it may be heavy leans like Shanahan remaining.
  2. Umm is he aware that Gullette hasn't gone there yet haha?
  3. For real. If you want to complain about our boosters having better stuff to spend their money on than $1.5mm for a high school athlete, I better see receipts that you're participating in every single NIL opportunity UT has. Tbh, what a terrible use of money even if you have it - go house some homeless people or something ffs. The thing to complain about is that A&M boosters are such desperate weirdos that they're willing to do what they're doing.
  4. Other than maybe Gullette, any others you think could be on the Hill plan for them? Any of our commits at risk?
  5. Haha fair enough. It's actually kind of crazy though. Bama had the then #1 all-time class in '21. In '22 they actually had a higher avg-recruit ranking than A&M, but with 4 fewer guys (excluding transfers), and now they look to be on their way to the #1 class this year. They've also proven to master the transfer portal. Saban is a fuckin witch.
  6. People panicking about Hill need to get a grip. Sure, it sucks to lose him, but did y'all really think we were going to get everyone? He always seemed like a longshot anyway until the last few weeks. As long as we hang onto our current guys, add Baxter and Matthews or Toviano, plus fill in around the edges, this is an elite class. Plus as I've said before, the portal is the great wild card now days. Winning the initial recruitment may end up meaning very little.
  7. IT literally said the car thing was just for the public, and the staff knows the real reason. Enough with the car shit.
  8. Fwiw, I think he's referring to the rumors about A&M not fully meeting their promises to last year's class. Not that A&M isn't paying at all. But yeah no one said they weren't paying at all.
  9. This. Also, we have enough talent to win 10 games every year. If we start actually doing that, watch what happens in recruiting.
  10. Not really. Bama's combined 22/23 classes still likely to be better than Aggies, even moreso if you include '21
  11. A couple people on Twitter saying that Johntay tweeted he was going to CS, then deleted it. Supposedly a screenshot on texags. Idk context though, he might've meant he had to get there to do damage control
  12. Yep, but it's worse when you're dealing with pure mercenaries. Someone like Nolen is gonna bail for the first better offer
  13. Thune just put in a conf 8 CB to OU. Sounds like this one's done.
  14. Even if they did get what they were promised, what will they think about Hill getting twice as much? Unless there's something I can't think of keeping them locked in, A&M is going to have to re-up a bunch of guys
  15. Kind of feels like Vasek just wants to get away from Austin and do his own thing.
  16. It am really curious to know how A&M manages their guys in free agency every year. I'm willing to bet numbers are soaring across the board and their guys will know that. Good thing the transfer portal exists. Next year just get the equivalent of Drew Sanders / Ocean Mathis.
  17. Toviano was at LSU yesterday, did he make it to CS? And yeah Hale didn't even spend the night in CS apparently, is at Bama now Hicks was/is at OU (idk which). Twitter rumors that he's skipping A&M which is leading to some speculation that he might be an OU silent now.
  18. Probably them but also good chance of another surprise or two in store, imo. Possibly even Gullette. Clearly the bags are dropping
  19. Anyone else notice that the top 100 recruits are almost all committed somewhere already? I feel like it's way more than in the past. If you scroll through the list, there are very few still uncommitted. Wonder if that's an NIL byproduct and how many flips we'll see.
  20. I'm guessing A&M knows that LB was their one weak spot last class, so they're pouring the bags into it now. Not a good sign for Derion
  21. Kind of amazing how quickly he committed to them after all that. Not even 1pm yet on the day of their event.
  22. Looks like their "one-day only offer" strategy still works after all
  23. Not to mention the transfer portal where top guys are going to hit the free agency market every single year (even if not officially)
  24. I'm sure there's an offer, but his visit also benefits all side even if it isn't that serious. From Jimbo's point of view, this creates a lot of buzz AND puts pressure on Novosad to jump on board. For Nelson, it puts USC boosters on notice to drive up his NIL. Pretty simple Negotiations 101 - you gotta have an alternative option for leverage. With that said, recruiting is a crazy world right now., Enough money and anything could happen, especially with USC allegedly dropping the ball with Addison. The weirdest part to me is still that it's A&M - why not Ohio St. or UGA or something (neither of which have QBs yet). I guess A&M is the biggest perceived money dropper though if you want to scare people.
  25. Lol. Also, Bama now has the #2 and 3 RBs in this class, behind only Owens and right ahead of Baxter.
