Just to recap Five Star WR and Aggy commit Demond Demas wanted to transfer from North Forest High School to Tomball High School. He stated it was to better his living situation, and not for athle

Bwahahahaha!!! "Drew a bead on Longview's Haynes King this spring..."

 

Yeah, that's why he wasn't even on the aggy radar until mid-June. I swear, these jokers will believe anything, if it's printed on a page with a maroon banner.

He was offered on May 1.  

The funniest thing I read on any message board is when fans of any school think they're different in any significant way from any other fanbase.

“Head Coach Jimbo Fisher once again proves no doubt that he is the now the best recruiter in the mighty SEC by landing 4-star stud QB Haynes King out of Longview, TX. King, the 13th rated player in TX by 247, and now ranked number 2 in the Looch 44 behind elite Aggie commit WR Demond Demas, is criminally underrated by recruiting services despite drawing comparisons to a young Brett Favre according to TexAgs lead recruiting analyst Olin Buchanan. King soundly outplayed Texas commit Hudson Card in the highly important Elite 11 competition which TexAgs studies have shown are the most effective way of evaluating quarterbacks. Jimbo Fisher and staff left no stone unturned in finding the elite signal caller from East Texas, proving once again that the Texas A&M staff have lapped the Texas staff in recruiting. With his QB in hand, Jimbo Fisher will continue to strike fear in the heart of Nick Saban as he continues his conquest for the top recruiting ranking in the country’s premier conference (which is the SEC and not the laughable Big 12). What’s next? Head Coach Jimbo Fisher now turns his sights to elite RB Zach Evans who will require more than just the usual bag hag.”

To my last, it really does always work like this with Aggies. The only thing they will even grudgingly, kind of, admit, in years we trounce(d) them, was that we had a better team. Like 2008. But even then, you'd be hard pressed to find a single position they'd concede. Like so:

Me: "We just have more talent top to bottom than you guys do."

Aggie: "Ayup, well, maybe, I mean I guess."

Me: "Like Colt McCoy."

Aggie: "HE AIN'T BETTER'N STEPHEN MCGEE! He just plays on a better team with a better o-line and better receivers!"

Me: "Colt does benefit from having Jordan Shipley and Quan Cosby to throw to----"

Aggie: "THEY AIN'T BETTER'N TERRENCE MCCOY OR JEFF FULLER!"

Me: "---and guys like Dockery and Ulatoski blocking---"

Aggie: "THEY AIN'T BETTER'N TRAVIS SCHNEIDER!!!!"

etc, on down the roster

If you could continue on to "well, gosh, I guess if none of our players are better, it must be the coaching", you could induce apoplexy 

ultimately "luck" was the only advantage Aggies would ever concede 

+1 for an amazing travis schneider reference

Don't get me wrong, the King pickup is good for A&M but his offer list puzzles me. He's the #1 QB yet didn't get an offer from:

  • Bama
  • Clemson
  • Georgia
  • Ohio State
  • Michigan
  • Penn State
  • OU
  • Texas
  • Florida
  • Notre Dame
  • USC
  • Washington

Neither did Zach Calzada.

King not going back home to LSU is frankly shocking to me.

 Aggy must be giving dad a better job. King is a great qb, unfortunately. 

No, LSU took two QBs before King and that was that.

Texas head coach Tom Herman was asked yesterday at Big 12 Media Days about the possibility of renewing the Longhorns’ rivalry with Texas A&M, a game that hasn’t been played since the Aggies bolted for the greener pastures of the Southeastern Confernece.

“I would love to see the rivalry renewed” he said.

Herman was asked this question prior to the appearance of A&M boss Jimbo Fisher at the SEC Media Days and since there was plenty of time for Herman’s response to hit social media before Fisher came to the podium, it didn’t take long for Fisher to be asked about the possibility of playing the game as well. In fact, the first question of the afternoon addressed to Fisher was about the possibility of playing Texas.

“Yeah, if it's beneficial to Texas A&M” Fisher said. “I know we're scheduled out right now for ten years. If it's something that benefits Texas A&M, we'll definitely be interested in that and make those judgments as they come.”

Herman’s response was pretty enthusiastic and in his answer he gave several reasons why the game should be played (although many of them had to do with Texas’ fans). In stark contrast, Fisher’s tone was lukewarm at best and his answer was pretty succinct.

In other words, one of them thinks that they need the game and one of them thinks that they don’t.

However, it’s interesting that the coach that would like the rivalry to be resumed has the team that is supposedly “back”, is ranked in the top ten in most pre season polls, and isn’t discussing how difficult it’s upcoming 2019 schedule is. For all of the advantages that Herman has going into the fall of 2019, he seems to be looking for something to elevate his program.

In contrast, Jimbo Fisher is embracing the challenges of a difficult schedule by talking about the opportunity that lies ahead for A&M this season to play the nation’s top three programs.

Why is the outlook of the two coaches so different?

Well, while the two programs aren’t competing on the field, they are competing in recruiting off of it. One of them has a ton of momentum in that regard and one of them doesn’t.

With many prospects looking to make decisions during the summer so that they can play their senior seasons free of the burden associated with making a decision, closing strongly with commits during this time is the equivalent of doing so in December and January prior to the enactment of the early signing period. Fisher was a master of closing people down the stretch at Florida State and he secured seven commits during the late signing day in his first February in College Station. The Aggies are currently ranked 12thin the 247 Sports Composite with 15 commits. Nine of them are four and five star prospects. In addition, A&M continues to have crystal balls coming in on some highly regarded prospects such as Longview quarterback Haynes King, New York state running back Daniyel Ngata, and Tennessee offensive lineman Chris Morris.

In contrast, Texas entered the 2020 recruiting class with a lot of momentum after a ten win season and an upset of Georgia in a New Year’s Six bowl but are ranked 31st nationally in the 247 Sports Composite and have just eight commits. Not only that, they were supposed to have received a big recruiting boost from the commitment of defensive lineman Vernon Broughton who reportedly even made a recruiting video in which he committed to Texas and who planned to announce this week. Broughton was considered to be a big coup for Texas as they had issues recruiting top notch defensive linemen in recent years and it would have represented a big get in a head to head battle over the Aggies.

Instead, Broughton has delayed his announcement and the Aggies not only remain in the hunt but have a recruiting event scheduled for the end of the month in College Station that he could attend so that he can bond with A&M commits. Even if Broughton does commit to Texas, they’re going to be watching him closely anyway to see if makes that trip to Aggieland.

Herman needs something to flip the script not just right now but potentially in the future since he faces the prospect of going head to head with Fisher for years. He can’t afford to wait until the season starts to reverse the Horns’ current trends because recruiting is almost over in sense (just four of the top 15 prospects in the state of Texas remain uncommitted at this point).


Fisher is dealing from a position of strength as the better recruiter of the two and has an air of “I’ve got this”.

And if Herman doesn’t get the game with A&M and he can’t beat the LSUs and Alabamas in the near term, Fisher will continue to stockpile the talent that will enable him to beat those programs and compete at a level on the field that will leave Herman needing more than just a game with the Aggies to level things off of it.

Fisher doesn't want that game because he already knows the outcome.
