He wasn’t there at first. But needed more aggy signees at the front of the list.

Can someone who knows more aggy lore (bless your sacrifice) explain why lucci stops at 44?

He wants the symmetry with their annual 4-4 conference record.

[BornAndRaised 12821]

I'm assuming this is C4, but who knows maybe we have a surprise lined up.

Y'll really don't know why Luicci does 44?  It's because of Aggie tradition. On the night that J.V. "Pinky" Wilson wrote the Aggie War Hymn during WWI he happened to wander into a field in Flanders that had 44 virgin ewes in it and, heroically, satisfied them all.  You sips wouldn't understand because you don't have any traditions.

So the edge the last 2 cycles could be Tapp, Finkely, Brown, Burke, Gullete, Walton. 

That's already really good

yeah it’s really not that good if you want to compete in the playoff.  it’s good enough to compete in the bigXII though.

Braylan Shelby is announcing tomorrow at 1pm.  I know he's favored to commit to USC (Fong'd on Monday), but would be awesome to land him tomorrow and then Baxter next week.

I know a couple of them were 1st round picks, but what a terrible group of recruits.

First, that list is weird. Second, I still can’t believe how badly Charlie fucked up that year. Third, Hines and Mond were probably the two most despised players by that fan base going into the ‘20 season..and not because they were bad football players or had run afoul of the law.

That’s because that dolt left off two of the very best recruits. How carter managed to get ahead of jk dobbins is beyond me. It could be argued Wilson wasn’t even the best player on his team from that class. There was plenty of talent there, Liucci is just an idiot.

I didn't check it all that closely, but I have that class with at least 6 1st rounders and 3 2nd rounders. Seems decent enough for a single state's class

I meant those specific players.  And Chaisson and Okudah might be firsts but I don't think they're very good at football.

[HtownHorn 15243]

Wasn't Waddle in that class, or was he the year after?

They were great college players. If you judge a class by how many NFL stars are in it then almost every class would look bad. NFL stars are that rare.

Also, you are looking at Liucci’s dumbass rankings, JK Dobbins was a top 8 in-state player in that class and turned out pretty damn good, Liucci just didn’t have him in his top 8 because he is stupid.

2017 was a transition class, so Mack deserves a fair bit of blame here.

I thought it was a bit, how Mack’s shittiness at the end never stopped working (though he did).

Who somehow made it to the NFL as a fullback. Of course Mack recruited him at LB.

I think Mack had defense on his mind at that point.  He was defending his job.  “Can’t fire me if I’m in Florida”.   Running out the clock

Shelby to USC as expected.

Knew it was Texas after OV, which goes along with all the picks that rolled in afterwards.
