as a reminder, the Bryan-College Station MSA is 273,101. College Station alone is 120,511. It's something like the 30th largest population in Texas and in the top 250 nationally.

Texas A&M has the largest enrollment in Texas as of 2020 at 65,272 individuals.

can we stop acting like College Station is anything close to a "small town" - the last time it had a population under 50k was like the 1980 census.

i get what you are saying, i just am tired of people selling College Station as some small town that it honestly hasn't been since the 70s when the population was under 20k.

the guy went to North Shore, which is a fucking huge school in Houston. he isn't Dalton Brooks from Shiner TX (population 2,127)

Population alone does not define a metro area or true city.  By all other standards B/CS is damn a village. 

They have an airport a$m owns - awesome flight schedule:

https://www.flyeasterwood.com/departures/  - 3 flights to Dallas per day - village. 

How do you get to B/CS

https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Nearby-Airports/Bryan  - take a damn bus from a city.

Businesses located there:

https://www.zippia.com/company/best-biggest-companies-in-college-station-tx/  - village, not even a city or town.  Clearly left out the insurance agencies. 

A true metro area and city that is consistently rated as a top 10 place to live in the US, has beautiful scenery and attractions. Has real businesses people have heard of... the gem of Texas - Austin, a truly beautiful city in every respect.

http://content.abia.org:8080/webfids/ - wow a real airport 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_based_in_Austin,_Texas  - shit I know these names!

Facts matter - B/CS can keep inbreeding and making more cult fools but in every aspect other than cult members, it is a damn village of morons - not a town or city. 

 

Recruiting so on topic - would love to pull Moose or Stewart from the village. Hope we keep all of our coaches - Marion worries me with Tulsa. No inside info, I just read it as reported here or other free sites.

Hook'em BBA MPA from a beautiful university in one of the best cities in the USA.

Sorry, that one annoyed me - it's a damn village at best.

So how does Ritz Bitz recruit? Does he take the short bus from his village to a real city then fly to destinations? I don't follow them much. It seems rare that he or his staff visit schools or players?  Maybe I'm wrong but I do see highlights of articles about Sark and company attending games, workouts, turning lights on in the gym in the morning for Arch and crew, etc. I've never seen anything (not a big look tbh) about a$m coaches doing these types of evaluations/visits? Do they fly in a gulfstream from random bma to cart him around?

I'm sure some of you have more news on JWitt and Worthy.  Seems to have shifted to positive today? I want to see Red, Brenan, Cook, Niblett shine but if we have a healthy Neyor and JWitt to press Worthy to reach his full potential, it could be magic.

Aggie morons thinking Hartline was going to forego a head coaching job at Cincinnati to be second fiddle to Jimbo really puts their psychosis in perspective

And very simply I would think Hartline is going to wait and see what happens with Day and the Colts (not saying it will happen, but you damn sure wait and see) and Cinci (and maybe Stanford and whatever else bigger HC job opens up) before even considering the money whip Jimbo would have to bring to look at the aggy job.

Aggy wants an OC quick, Hartline has nothing to gain and everything to lose by moving quick.

The aggy staff does all the same things. We just don't post about it nearly as much because we're Texas fans, not aggy fans. And the head coach at every major school flies private.

I know from reading here that Zwerneman is an Aggie mouthpiece. I don't know if he is a full-on Aggie.

The full-on Aggie cushions disastrous news by saying, "We already knew that was happening!" As in:

Hey! Our star linebacker pledge has decommitted and looks like he going to the sips! This really sucks!

Grow a pair and be manful like manly Aggies usually are. We already knew that was happening!

I don't know if this guy is doing the same thing or if these formerly highly ranked recruits leaving is damaging to them. What say the cognoscenti?

These do mostly feel like the post-meetings "we already packed your shit" guys. They have like 20 bluechip DL so they're fine processing a headcase to give a guy like Brownlow-Dindy more snaps.

Tunmise Adeleye is not a "spare". The fucking guy was a starter this year until he got hurt. He was starter ahead of all of the other top 50 guys (like him) on the roster. We don't have to conflate issues here. 

Frankly, we can debate the premise that Lane and LJ Johnson were "spares" as well. Lane played plenty during his time on campus. Johnson was another top 50 guy from two classes ago. Aggies can spin it how they like, but none of these guys leaving is because they're being processed out. 

Denver Harris was a 5 star. I think Marshall unbelievably wound up as one as well. The Williams guy was highly rated OT. Lucas was a highly rated DT. Those guys are from the most recent vaunted class. 

Even if no one else joins the portal, that is a fuckton of highly rated attrition immediately. Also, there will be more guys entering the portal, to say nothing of the guys that also look at doing so in the spring.

Yeah I'm not doing any math but if you took those guys out, their "superclass" would almost certainly not even be #1 in 2022 (Bama). I still won't be surprised if Jimbo keeps those '22 troublemakers though.

Losing you #2 and 3 recruits from 2021 ain't great either. Pretty sure LJ was the backup RB and got some carries until he quit the team. Probably was in line to start next year.

Tunmise was starting before being injured and LJ Johnson was the 2nd string RB behind Achane before quitting.

Those are not spares in the context of aggys roster. 

The only ones aggy does not consider spares...

As I recall, he was the only one that King had any chemistry with.  Don’t think he’s a YAC guy, but I remember him catching most of what King wobbled his way.   Think he can see the writing on the wall with the young talent though.

I'm going to hit these very rapid fire and will talk more about some of this tomorrow:

-There are some names that I think you guys may be off on when it comes to this coaching search. Contrary to what many on here and elsewhere tried to run with, Brian Hartline was never under consideration nor did every receive a phone call from the Aggies. Before you trot out the tired "but they don't have to 'call' them! The agents do that!" line, keep in mind that Jimbo has been conversing directly with coaches throughout the week. And, no, Arkansas' Kendall Briles wasn't on that list, either.

-It's my understanding that Tom Herman was under consideration as one of the 'handful' of candidates but wasn't a primary option due mainly to the fact that he was likely to land a head coaching job - either Arizona State or FAU (which he took today). Former Florida head coach Dan Mullen is also someone who I've heard is under consideration, along with at least three or four others.

As far as fits go, I'm still very high on Baylor's Jeff Grimes but that's just my personal opinion. I'm also not nearly as bullish as some 'insiders' and message board firestarters are that North Carolina's Phil Longo will ultimately be the guy though there is enough of a connection there for him to draw legitimate A&M interest.

-Two things I have heard that, in my opinion, should strike you guys as very interesting are the fact Jimbo has been making it clear with any and every prospective candidate that he fully intends to pass along play calling duties to his hand-picked hire. I've also heard that a couple of candidates are guys whose systems are a lot more wide open than I would have originally expected. That's a great sign regardless of where Jimbo and the Ags land because it means he's open to just about anything and is truly exploring all options. Fisher has also been very hands on when it comes to this hire so everything I've heard this week I've considered very positive and quite encouraging. Jimbo and the Aggies are giving themselves a chance to get this thing right.

-As far as Aggies considering the NFL, I'm not getting the best vibes right now on where Jaylon Jones is at on the stay-or-go spectrum. He's being told by some that he's a 'late first rounder,' which would be very difficult to pass up. However, most NFL types I talk to - including everything from scouts to coaches to assistant GMs to head coaches - view Jones as a Round 3 type right now. This one will depend on who Jones believes. Ainias Smith and Antonio Johnson? Still expecting both to enter the draft and Devon Achane staying still feels like a longshot but I think he's likely to have a hell of an NIL/insurance policy combo that will give him the very real option of staying.

-How about the portal? Behind the scenes a ton of progress has been made on the NIL front and Jimbo's end-of-season player meetings have gone about as well as possible. I'd be lying if I said every single important player is 100% all-in with returning in the Maroon & White next fall but the guys I'm talking about are still more likely to stay than leave and the overwhelming number of returning starters and key young players are set on returning in 2023. So far, none of the departures have come as any sort of surprise, including defensive end Tunmise Adeleye. The former national top-100 signee opened the season as a starter and the Ags would have loved to have had him back but he wasn't available as a true freshman and was injured two games in this fall and missed most of the season while some younger DEs established themselves while #30 was sidelined. It's a tough situation that underclassmen around college football are facing this week.

In sticking with that theme, don't be surprised to see the Ags end up approaching double-digits in the portal before all is said and done. While folks are waiting to make a big deal about whoever is on the way out of College Station, what they might want to pay closer attention to will be who is coming in. Things on that front should be interesting next weekend, when the Aggies are expected to host several potential portallers.

-Finally, expect to see the Ags lose a staffer from outside of their 10 full-time assistants to Deon Sanders' staff at Colorado (yes, you read that correctly, Coach Prime is heading to Boulder).

Let's sift through the spin and bullshit from the chief aggie blowhard. I spoilered my thoughts due to tl;dr problems.

Spoiler

-"We never reached out to Hartline" = They were beating their chests offline to donors about getting Hartline after his agent told them he might have an interest. He has since been assured of a raise and title change if he stays at OSU and he's otherwise taking a HC gig for a big raise. They leveraged A&M.

-"We also didn't want Kendal Briles." = Briles straight up told them he had no interest.

-"Tom Herman was a serious candidate." = I believe that Herman and Fisher are both delusional enough to think they could have worked well together. This would have been one of the more hilarious things to occur in my time on this planet and I am now deeply saddened that it could have been a thing but isn't going to be.

-"Dan Mullens wants to come here." = Jimbo Fisher is just lobbing names out there to see what he can get on the hook. I have heard Dan Mullens at least twice on XM84 this season participating in running down what's going on in College Station. He didn't sound like a fan of Ritz Bitz. That considered, please God and Santa Claus, please let this happen. Mullens is a wealthy asshole who knows better. He and Fisher would clash in ways only Herman and Fisher could eclipse. 

-"There is something to Phil Longo coming to aggieland. He's vaguely connected to the program because he coached within 100 miles of it at Sam Houston State almost a decade ago." = More Fisher fishing. Longo is an unapologetic Air Raid practitioner. God. This is another awesome option were it to occur. 

-"I'm still high on Jeff Grimes." = Jeff Grimes wanted specifics about his purview written into the contract, including playcalling autonomy, and Fisher got interested in looking elsewhere. It will be interesting to see if Fisher circles back here. This deal was supposed to be done and it somehow went up in smoke. 

-"Jimbo is fully behind this OC hire. He's going to let the OC do whatever he wants. Jimbo is being super hands on here." = Fisher is a meddling motherfucker. He's been given a blank check to go out and hire a big OC name. He's either going to be bullied into doing that, or they're going to let him fuck with this long enough to wind up hiring some has-been with the same justifications Charlie Strong gave after a truly exhaustive search and then hiring Shawn Watson.

-"I don't have great vibes about Jones, Smith, or Johnson returning. Achane is going to be presented with a package representing about a third of what he'll make in his first NFL contract. Also, Jaylon Jones might totally go in the first round." = Jaylon Jones, Devon Achane, Anias Smith and Antonio Johnson have already cleared out their lockers and apartments, and none of them are answering texts or calls from the coaches. It looked like they threw a collective smoke bomb down and disappeared, tires screeching in the distance heading toward the Brazos County Line. 

-"How about the portal? Some more guys will be announcing. I'm guessing double digits." = This is the biggest one. He's sending out the heads up to his readership that, sure, they're moneywhipping guys through their "NIL" contracts and those guys told Fisher what he wanted to hear after the season, but they're about get hit where it hurts. The way he's couching things, it's clear he knows some names already. Given that they've had 9 transfers already, "double digits" means a hell of a lot more than 10. I'm sticking with my belief that the number will be at least 20 by mid-January.

-"But what people should really be interested in is who is coming to town from the portal." = Here he's doing several things. One, the Wizard of Oz maneuver of don't look over there behind the curtain, look over here. Two, he's straight-up telling his readership that they're actively tampering and have set meetings with some surprising names that are currently on other rosters. It's almost done in his taunting approach, so it wouldn't shock me if they've got guys from UT, OU, or the SEC West coming in to sit down and hear the midget's pitch. 

-"Finally, ATM is losing a football staff member that isn't currently a coach to go with Prime Time to Boulder." = Whoever is leaving is not someone they want to leave and he knows he's going to get asked questions about it here shortly.
