Remember when Nick Starkel went from almost committing to Yale, to Texas A&M, to Arkansas, to San Jose State (and actually winning a Mountain West title there)? It was like human evolution in reverse.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Starkle Motion 

[UncleSonny 6573]

Fun fact: as things currently stand, when you consider the last two 247 scores for their respective classes, UT is now significantly higher than the Ags:

Texas

2022 - 289.04

2023 - 294.53

Average - 291.79

A&M

2022 - 333.13

2023 - 236.05

Average - 284.59

That’s without even taking into account the fact that they have already lost two five stars and several four stars to the portal from 2022. It’s incredible to see how little they are going to take advantage of the best class of all time.

Good for the kid, but this reminds me of Herman and Hand grasping at straws after our top choices fell through. They went scrambling trying to offer late and flip kids.. Ended up with Max Merrill

Who?

Never mind another corner they have plenty of those right?

Dude ran a 11.3 hundred as a senior in high school and they recruited him as a corner?

And if you take into account that their '21 has been a failure of a class that  finished 9th and only has 1 real contributor to date.

Honestly that was coming from day one. Dude exploded his ACL in high school and the rankings never adjusted and aggy took him pretty much explicitly to get the #1 class ever ranking bump.

[Pato del Muerto 52524]

Another opportunity to improve the team via the portal.

Are they expecting to lose an OL commit?  Or just adding more bread?

I liken it to the scenario where a key employee leaves an org and then an exodus follows him/her to their new gig. A phenomenon I’ve experienced a few times in getting to see it is that as each additional person leaves, those viewed as allied with that group who are still employed at the first place become more and more valuable to management from a retention perspective. Hicks, Rogers, the other DB and that aggie-looking OL from NJ are all suddenly extremely valuable. I think ATM will do whatever it takes to retain those guys. Whatever it takes. 

That said, yeah, the folks I know think that there is legit risk on the Hicks commitment, and not just from Oregon. If he’s in College Station this weekend, I would assume he’s locked up though. 

who else is still really in on that recruitment? OU, Oregon, and Miami maybe? As much as I would like to wishcast UT on that list it just never seemed like it was going to happen

Davis is pretty ambivalent on him. Sort of a "We'll take you if you're really excited about it" vibe.

Yes, that's why suddenly the out of state kids want to transfer. They miss mom's cooking....

Those dumb idiots will believe anything.

Mangino would ironically have too much self respect to associate himself with Jimbo.

Now imagine for a few seconds what this would all look like without the LSU Dead Cat Bounce and they had ended the season at 4-8.

I mean, Mangino is a hell of a football coach and a total and complete asshole, so he’s only half way acceptable for Jimbo.

Mangino would honestly be about the best hire Jimbo could make. Negative press be damned, that dude can flat run an offense.

Let’s play armchair GM here, how would you unfuck aggy’s roster management issues?

Personally, I would load up on grad transfer rentals. They either pan right away or they’re gone in a year. And then drop crazy ass bags to instate only 2024 dudes, and try to sign 35.

Loading up on 3 star bread in 2023 creates a 4-5 year problem. And I’m here for it.

[Hook1997 5382]

They have a thread now explaining how the portal should be open every week of the year with no limits, if they want to transfer 14 times so be it.  Good lord they are desperate to be able to buy players.

"Fix" can have a lot of different meanings. Personally, I would try to "fix" things by really loading up on 2 dozen kickers, punters, and long snappers. 

 

But yeah, you're right. Their only hope now is pulling a LOT of guys out of the portal - and I doubt they'll be able to pull enough quality to do much.

For a high rated recruit, it doesn't seem like Jayvon Thomas has been on the field much in this state game.

I have first hand knowledge of their plan. Leaked from someone on the inside.

To paraphrase:

We need to move quickly in the spring portal.  Lots of sip bread jumping ship soon after the class and portal studs they've brought in. I'm tired of the same old peters and pals.

He’s mostly been playing RB. SOC needs him there more, they have like 5 other D1 db’s.

The portal has been working swimmingly for them.  By my count, E Stewart would have only portaled 4x this season in that scenario.
