Who are we to doubt the decision-making of Brandon "John Nash" Harris?

Following that logic, no one should want Goosby.

Not sure if a visit was formally scheduled, but I remember Texas being a/the top school for David Bailey. Then everything switched to Tech in that recruitment

If the reports from Tom Loy of Coleman about to resign with Auburn then going to the portal in the 11th hour are true + our 9.95ers not really hinting at anything definitive with a portal WR, then there is (are) another team(s) that are way out in front of us on this. Sure we may get a visit, if he does visits at all, but these sudden change of direction moves usually indicate things are already pretty finalized in a certain direction.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
The World Wars argument falls apart for Aggie fans when someone points out that West Point won championships in 1944 and 1945. This was during a time when West Point graduated classes early to get them into the war.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
We can answer this by observing and understanding, for example, the laws of physics and mathematics. Simply, these laws define consistent, immutable patterns of nature. Take for example the Law of Large numbers which states that over time the average result of independent tests will converge to the expected mean as you conduct more tests. Yes, deviations from the mean will occur, but the long term performance will be the mean. In the case of a&m, a 11-2 season will happen, but 8-4 will be the result more often than not. Why? Let's look at physics, specifically gravity. We measure gravity on earth at a constant of 9.8m/s2. But in college sports the gravity is different for each program. I failed the define gravity to open this paragraph, so let me do it now. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. In lay terms, this is how strong a sucking force can be. a&m just sucks a whole lot more - it's a consistent, immutable pattern of nature that can only explained and understood as such.

Isn't York a possibility to leave for the draft? He's not great but always get media love for some reason, so he seems like he will get drafted because of hype.

Let's not forget in all this joy that A&M is going to run out an offense next season called by Holmon Wiggins with multiple new OL, new WRs, and Marcel Reed at QB.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Let me spell this out for you... Ian Boyd is not a trusted source of Texas football information or general football knowledge. All of his takes are absolutely horrible. By you trumpeting his idiot takes here, it shows that you don't know anything about Texas football and football in general. Stop with the Ian Boyd nonsense.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Hell Is Empty, and All the Devils Are Here
Unless more NIL dollars flow in, I don't see how the additional roster spots will affect spending decisions for most SEC schools or most college football programs. I think most schools were hitting their spending max at the 85 limit already. To use an MLB analogy, I think these extra roster spots are going be filled with guys from the portal who are like journeyman/ "AAAA" type player who who signs with an MLB team in the offseason with an invite to the MLB spring training with a chance to make the MLB roster if the stars align in spring training. Every now and then that works for a 4th or 5th outfielder or a middle inning reliever spot, but rarely do teams get a middle of the order bat or rotation ace out of these guys.

It seems like Texas is more or less doing this. I think there are plenty of examples from this past recruiting class where Texas held to its offer on a 4 star type kid and that kid went for bigger money elsewhere. Also, there are the examples where Texas is being aggressive on sure fire talent, which led to us getting Atkinson and Cooper. Overall, I think the approach Texas this past recruiting class was in line with this sentiment to not overpay for 4 stars and target sure fire 5 stars. What threw Texas off was 1) they misread how the flood of money across schools would shock the market - this led them to not getting 4-stars at reasonable rates because other schools overpaid + having to be more aggressive of 5 stars than they otherwise expected, and 2) completely misreading the OL landscape - this was partly due to #1 but also poor prioritization on Ojo v. Lee and others. It seems Texas will be shifting to a more highschool recruiting approach of targeting premium players & value investing in lower 4 stars and 3 stars + portal recruiting for proven players to fill needs and fill development depth. I think in the long run, if this approach takes hold across other programs, this will push down the starting income of these 4 stars and/or sink programs that are overpaying for them.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
The world is and has always been full of idiots with opinions. We just so happen to live in an era where there are few safeguards or obstacles to limit the number of idiot opinions for mass consumption. Game threads on Surly are a top example of this plague.
