  2. VIP notes Here are a few Wednesday-morning recruiting updates. Is commit No. 22 coming soon for the Aggies? Texas A&M's recruiting is on fire after last week's haul of 4-star cornerbacks Bobby Wolfe and Erick Young. The Aggies remain in the No. 2 spot in the 247Sports recruiting composite team rankings. One position Texas A&M is hoping to land a stud is at running back, and Klein Collins 4-star Isaiah Spiller is one of the nation's best. The 4-star talent is ranked the No. 2 all-purpose back, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. The original word was that Spiller was planning on making a decision before the start of his senior season. The buzz now is that Spiller could make a decision as early as the end of this week -- emphasis on "could." If that happens, look for Spiller to choose between Texas A&M and Oklahoma. He's a one-time Oklahoma pledge who reopened his recruitment in April to explore all of his options. Spiller has 21 reported offers. Texas A&M is hoping to bring a legacy home. Spiller is the son of Fred Spiller, who played tight end for the Aggies. New York DE Isaac taking his time One of the big questions with the 2019 class involves Brooklyn, New York, defensive end Adisa Isaac and his interest in the program. The good news: He's interested. The better news: He claims no leaders at this time. Isaac, the top-ranked player from the state of New York and the nation's No. 10 weak-side defensive end per the 247Sports Composite, told 247Sports that Texas A&M, Penn State, Rutgers and Syracuse are among the schools he hears from the most. He said those are schools that intrigue him, but he reiterated that he currently doesn't have one to stand above the others. Isaac has only taken one official visit so far -- to Texas A&M -- and he doesn't have a set timeline for making a verbal commitment. "I want to take some of the visits in the fall that I didn't get to take in the summer," Isaac told 247Sports. "I don't know any of the official visit I will take yet. I want to try to take one in late July, if I can, and then the rest in the fall, probably." 2020 OL wants the '5-star' to block for GigEm247 spoke with 2020 offensive line commit Josh Bankhead earlier this week. While he's excited about the future of the program, he's also hoping to block for the best. When asked if there was one commit he'd love to see committed, North Shore's Zachary Evans was his answer. Evans is the top-ranked running back in the 2020 class and the No. 5 overall player in the 247Sports Composite. Texas A&M is one of the schools to watch in his recruitment, along with Alabama, LSU and Texas. "He's a 5-star. The dude is an animal," Bankhead said. "If you see his film, he'll hurdle one guy and truck the next. Him running behind us ... I couldn't think of a better offense." Bankhead added he and Evans are former select league teammates, so he's hoping to reunite that tandem. Evans was one of the few underclassmen selected to compete at The Opening Finals in Frisco, Texas. He played for Team Impact. "He's not a talker; he's a doer," Bankhead said of Evans. "He's a really big target for A&M, and I'm trying my best to get him to commit without forcing his hand." September visit for QB target Daniels? As 247Sports' Blair Angulo reported, San Bernadino, California, 4-star quarterback Jayden Daniels is interested in getting to College Station for an official visit. While the Aggies have a quarterback committed in 3-star Zach Calzada, Daniels said he's hoping to make it to Texas A&M in September. "I definitely want to get out to Texas A&M to see how it is," Daniels told Angulo. "I know they took a commit, too, but I want to get out there on an official for sure, hopefully early in the season when they play Clemson." Regardless of the quarterback position, you go after a talented player like Daniels. He's nationally ranked the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback, and he's a top-100 player overall, per the 247Sports Composite. At Cajon High School, Daniels threw for 5,139 yards and 62 touchdowns with only five interceptions in 16 games last season. He also rushed for 1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns. Daniels has official visits set to Cal (weekend of Sept. 1) and Utah (Sept. 15). The Texas A&M-Clemson game takes place on Sept. 8. A legitimate alternative for the WR class? Texas A&M appears to be set at wide receiver with 4-star Kam Brown and 3-stars Chase Lane and Kenyon Jackson committed. The Aggies are making a major push to land 4-star Dylan Wright, as well. But what if the Aggies don't get Wright, who has Texas, Alabama and a few others high on his list, as well? One name that has been lost in Aggie recruiting is California 4-star Darren Jones. He's a teammate of Daniels at Cajon; in fact, he was Daniels' favorite target, catching 102 passes for 2,094 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. Let it be known, also, that Jones stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 189 pounds

  6. Perroni Texas A&M has 21 commitments. There is not much more room in the class as, even if the Aggies were to run off half the team, they would still be limited to 28 signees due to the NCAA signing rules. I believe that A&M could end up with quite a few more very soon. I had previously predicted that Mansfield Legacy cornerback Jeffery Carter and Katy Mayde Creek defensive end Marcus Stripling would likely be the next two commits. However, I think another domino could fall before that. Klein Collins running back Isaiah Spiller has said at The Opening Finals that he planned to make a decision prior to his senior season now. There is a lot of buzz with other recruits and around the Houston area that it could be even sooner than that. While Carter could make a decision in the next month or so - and the same with Stripling, though he still says publicly that he wants to wait until signing day - I think Spiller could happen even before Carter. In fact, it might not be very far off at all. It is down to A&M and Oklahoma with the state's top-ranked back and the No. 2 all-purpose back in the country but the Aggies are in good shape with the legacy and there was again a lot of buzz at The Opening that he would end up in Maroon and White. That would be a huge piece to the offensive puzzle for A&M and leave wide receiver Dylan Wright as the primary target on that side of the ball. Though I'm not as certain on this one happening as early, I have heard from a couple people in Louisiana that four-star linebacker target Christian Harris is getting even closer to a commitment and that many people are expecting it to be A&M. It would not be a huge shock if Spiller, Carter, Harris and Stripling were all in the fold by the end of August but I think the first two are the best bets for it to happen. That would leave only a very small number of targets for the coaching staff to all work on over the course of the season. By: Brian Perroni

  10. Brian Perroni 67294 posts 7 hours agoVIP Texas A&M now has 21 commitments in the class, so the remaining spots are at a premium. The Aggies can technically sign 28 with three being able to count back to last year, but there may not be room for that many. Still, it’s a good assumption it will at the very least be close to that. QUARTERBACK A&M has its quarterback in Zach Calzada and he is solid. SoCal QB Jayden Daniels says he is still in contact with the Aggies and he may be too talented to not still recruit, but it is very unlikely to happen. He still looks to be UCLA-bound. RUNNING BACK Four-star Isaiah Spiller is ranked as the state’s top back and is the main Aggie target at the position. It is pretty much an A&M/OU race at this point. He had originally planned to make his decision in or after the season but now wants to get it out of the way before his senior year begins. Spiller has not been on any official visits to this point and has not been on any unofficial trips anywhere this summer. With his dad Fred having playing at A&M, Spiller is a legacy and likes the Aggies a lot. He is close to quite a few of the current commitments and my Crystal Ball is still on A&M. If he goes with the Sooners, though, you could see A&M make a press for Deondrick Glass. Like most highly-ranked prospects from Katy, Glass does not seen in any hurry to decide. He has been to College Station multiple times and A&M has done very well in Katy ISD as of late. WIDE RECEIVER A&M has three commitments at the position in Kam Brown, Chase Lane and Kenyon Jackson. Right now, there is only one other primary target. West Mesquite’s Dylan Wright is basically an A&M/Texas battle at this point. He does not plan to announce until early January at the Under Armour game but the Aggies are in a good spot. He is also very close to several of the current pledges and spent some time with them at The Opening as he was there to watch. After a pair of recent unofficials to A&M, I put in my Crystal Ball pick for the Aggies and I feel pretty good about it at this point. It is by no means a done deal, though. The one other player to watch, should things not be going well with Wright at some point, is TJ Jones out of Florida. He took an official visit this spring and has a lot of interest in A&M. Right now, he looks to be the odd man out, though, with not many spots left. TIGHT END A&M has its top target committed in four-star Baylor Cupp. The Aggies believe they have an incredible playmaker at the position in Cupp and he should play really early. They are still after Jalen Wydermyer from Dickinson as well, though. Wydermyer has legitimate transportation issues and was not able to make it to the Aggie Elite Day as well as one of the summer camp days after originally planning to be there. A&M is still after him, however. He has several offers and schools after him but, at the moment, A&M and Miami would be the top two. He does not plan to decide soon, though, and will use several officials in the fall. OFFENSIVE LINE A&M has three tackles in five-star Kenyon Green and three-stars Adrian Medley and Blake Trainorcommitted. The fourth commit, Layden Robinson, will likely play center but could end up as a guard if they feel they need him more there. The Aggies are still after four-star tackle Javonne Shepherd of Houston North Forest, but Texas has taken the lead there. He plans to take officials but, if spots fill up, I honestly don’t know what the numbers would look like as far as having more room on the offensive line. One other player to keep an eye on is Medley’s teammate, guard Hunter Rayburn. He was very close to committing to A&M when he decided for Clemson recently. However, the door is not completely shut there. Jim Turner is a big fan of both Pensacola linemen so the Aggies very well could decide to make room if Rayburn changes his mind. DEFENSIVE LINE A&M has top 100 prospect DeMarvin Leal committed. Though he weighs 280 pounds already, he is being recruited as a strongside defensive end – the same role as Bobby Brown from last year’s class. At tackle, the Aggies have four-star Josh Ellison in the fold and added Adarious Jones from Virginia over the weekend. They are likely done with pure defensive tackles, though Florida’s Jaquaze Sorrells is still talking about officially visiting. He is planning to commit in late August and it will likely be to South Carolina, but he still may visit Aggieland after. Five-star Ishmael Sopsher plans to take an official visit to A&M as well, but he will likely end up at either Alabama or LSU. Katy Mayde Creek’s Marcus Stripling will likely end up as a three-tech and he worked inside at The Opening, looking more comfortable there each day. He continues to say publicly that he wants to take his visits and wait until signing day to announce, but I still doubt that happens. He is a very heavy Aggie lean and all the commitments as of late have him at least considering joining in sooner rather than later. On the edge, things could get interesting. A&M has four-star Braedon Mowry committed and there is also a chance RJ Orebo grows into that role, though he is still being pegged as a linebacker. A&M will likely add one more and it will probably be one of two plays – David Ugwoegbu of Katy Seven Lakes or Adisa Isaac out of Brooklyn. Ugwoegbu is not a huge fan of the recruiting process and has not taken a ton of visits but he was in Aggieland recently. A&M would be considered the favorite there. However, he does not seem in a hurry to make a pledge. Isaac is an A&M/Penn State battle at this point. He does not have a timeline either. I honestly am not sure at this point which one A&M would take if forced to choose, but they couldn’t go wrong with either one. I believe they will end up with one of the pair. LINEBACKER After Andre White Jr. made one of the more surprising commitments I’ve seen since covering A&M while on a short unofficial, I was skeptical about his pledge sticking. So were quite a few others. However, he made it back to A&M for the Aggie Elite Day and says he is done with the recruiting process. He is someone A&M loves and was a huge steal out of Pennsylvania. In addition to Orebo, the Aggies also have Tarian Lee Jr. out of Florida committed. Lee will likely play the Rover position for the Aggies. There likely is just room for one more pure linebacker and I think it will be Christian Harris out of Baton Rouge. He is a big fan of Mike Elko and things went very well on his visit to the Elite Day. Word out of Louisiana is that a decision could happen not too far off, though again, that is not a certainty. What could be interesting, though, is whether Alabama has room for four-star Kane Patterson from Nashville. He has taken a little longer than expected to decide. Most thought he would choose the Crimson Tide but they could be in a numbers crunch as well. If there is no room there, he could very well be too good for the Aggies to pass up and he is higher on A&M than most had originally thought. If both Harris and Patterson want to come aboard, some decisions would have to be made elsewhere. I should also mention five-star Nakobe Dean out of Mississippi. He has very sincere interest and was in town for the Aggie Elite Day but, as of now, I don’t think he will end up at A&M. But, he is the type of player that there will always be a spot for. Wide receiver Devonta Lee out of Louisiana is also being recruited as a linebacker, but he will likely end up at LSU or Alabama. DEFENSIVE BACK A&M is done at safety with five-star Brian Williamsand four-star Demani Richardson. At corner, the Aggies went from no commits to two four-stars in the past two days with Bobby Wolfe and Erick Young both announcing their decisions. I believe the final spot will go to four-star Jeffery Carter of Mansfield Legacy and I think it could happen in the next month or so. He has been very, very close to committing to A&M in the past but has also been on the verge of committing to Alabama and Oregon as well, as he admitted. However, the Aggies have been the one constant. He spent a ton of time with all four of the Aggie defensive back commits at The Opening and there was a ton of talk about him possibly being the next guy to join the class. A&M is still in contact with Jaydon Hill out of Alabama, but he is unlikely to end up at A&M. And, despite what many posters expect, I believe Marquez Beason will stick with his Illinois pledge. KICKER A&M has one of the country’s best committed in Caden Davis from Coppell. He is set to graduate early and enroll in January. Davis made his way out to The Opening on Sunday to watch his fellow commits

  14. Perroni FRISCO, Texas - There were quite a few Texas A&M commits and targets at the first full day of the The Opening Finals and there was some recruiting info to come out of the Sunday sessions. -First of all, give credit to all three Aggie commits in attendance - Kenyon Green, Brian Williams and Demani Richardson - for being very vocal to the other players about A&M. Williams and Green, especially, but Richardson is in players' ears as well. Williams is the guy that almost every uncommitted prospect pointed to as the main one recruiting them for the Aggies. Williams also showed leadership on the field. In an absolutely loaded safety group, he was first in line in every single drill. With a ton of four- and five-star prospects, that definitely says something about his character. -The biggest news is probably on Mansfield Timberview four-star cornerback Jeffery Carter. He publicly says that he is still considering all of his previously-released top four - A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas - but it is pretty much down to the Aggies and the Tide. Carter says that a commitment will come whenever he feels right about it. He does not have a public timeline in mind. However, he eagerly took pictures with several A&M commits and top targets and there was a lot of buzz around The Star that a commitment from him to the Aggies could come soon. When he left Tuscaloosa last month uncommitted, that was very good news to Texas. Carter does admit, though, that he has been close to committing to a few different schools at times. He says Oregon was the one that he was very much on the verge of doing so, as he grew up a huge fan of the program. However, when he got back and evaluated things, he didn't see the program as a fit and did not include them in his top four. I say all that to give the caveat that things could change but, as of now, I believe he will end up on the Aggie commitment list. A&M has been the one constant in the whole process as well. -Klein Collins four-star running back Isaiah Spiller has kept out of the spotlight this summer and has not made any unofficial visits, yet less officials. However, he says he wants to get his decision out of the way before the season begins. A&M and Oklahoma are the two teams he is in the most contact with. Spiller says his dad wants him at A&M, but isn't pushing his son. However, there is a lot of talk around the event about the Aggies being in good shape with the running back. I feel good about my Crystal Ball pick in favor of A&M. -Four-star cornerbacks Erick Young and Bobby Wolfe are both set to announce this coming week and I believe both will be Aggies when they do make their commitments. Wolfe admits that he was completely surprised on his Arkansas official visit as he was not really looking too hard at the Razorbacks before then. He says, though, that he has known for some time where he was going to commit and I would be very surprised if it was not A&M. -The one other big big uncommitted target in attendance is four-star Katy Mayde Creek defensive end Marcus Stripling. Though he continues to publicly say he plans to take his visits and announce on Signing Day, I still believe there is a good chance he shuts things down much sooner than that. He is a heavy A&M lean and the way he is talked about it is almost like he is already a commit. -Four-star offensive tackle Javonne Shepherd did not do a ton of talking but it is likely Texas with him
