Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi

[BigHorn'13 3387]

Catching up on the misery. You know you've OD'd when you're still sitting at the table with a "poked at" dinner and your family is in bed. I can't move. I am happy. I cannot be destroyed.

Doesn't have the grades for aggy?  I guess he can also cross East Texas State off his list.

This is the fucking high point of my life. Or at least Monday. Holy fuck. The problem for them is that:

a) it’s crazily almost believable 

and 

b) there are a whole lot of people who want to believe it, including their own inferiority-complex driven proclivities. 

May the swimming pool party return like Christmas in July each year. Next year, my understanding is that two head-to-head targets will play keep-away with Jimbo as the monkey-in-the-middle that they never let catch the ball. 

You'll be all smiles at the hydraulics office tomorrow.

Jefferson will do whatever it takes to keep that aggy scholarship.  No way he lets them cop out like that.

He is their lowest rated commit, however, he is also their longest tenured commit (since 02/01/2017 - well in advance prior to the arrival of Jimbo, the aggy savior).

They have 2 guys we probably wish we had.  Demas amd Jones.  That's it.

What about Muhsin? I haven't heard much about him for being rated so highly 

[thepop 4409]

I wonder why we stopped recruiting Jones. Seems like the coaches don’t have a problem pursuing someone like Jahari who is committed, why not Jones?

Standard aggy homophobic dipshittery aside, you can dump on Iowa State, K-State, Okie Lite and West Virginia for a lot of things but "not caring enough about football to attend games" isn't one of them

Yeah... So last year, we played 7 games against ranked teams, and they played only 4. But let's not allow facts to distract from the narrative.

[Neonmoon 38130]

Jimbo could have rescinded the offer to Jefferson when he was hired since Jefferson commited to Sumlin

Jimbo could have rescinded the offer once he replaced the OL coach from Henson to Turner with the often used excuse for the new coach to recruit his own guys.

Neither of those scenariors happened. So they better hope Jefferson can't qualify.

Wouldn't the Peter "Principal" (as it is being used here) require these kids attempt to punch above their weight in the big bad mighty SEC West, but ultimately flame out? Isn't that the essence of the Peter "Principal"?

Stupid sip, the Peter Principal is where your high school principal has a little peter so he pushes you to go to tu instead of the big bad S.E.C.

[Newy25 7703]

For all intense and purposes they are in it for the long hall. 

[texaslong 678]

Doesn’t matter how bad things look for aggy, they’ll just lay down in the fetal position and continue to tell themselves they still have Jimbo and their in the SEC. Everything is gonna be okay.

Well when there's only one buyer in the market and they're morons who will pay anything you ask for, it turns out that $75M really is the fair market price. The only mistake Ritz Bit's agent made was not realizing he could have insisted on $90M.

[Huckleberry 33120]

So there actually are A&M fans who ask Liucci why exactly it is that he has been continuously reporting for two decades that their recruits are better, their coaches are better, their players are better, and their homefield advantage is better and yet their results are never better? (with the exception of a single year I supposed in 2012, when they still didn't win any actual championships other than a high level secondary bowl game)

I mean there really are some smart people who attend A&M (didn't know better or were brainwashed young). You'd think they'd realize at some point that there are only two possibilities. Either Liucci doesn't know anything about football or else he's knowingly selling them bullshit just to keep the money flowing. Or a combo of both.

I saw two analysts lament that he shouldn't have reclassified after watching him camp in person. Dude isn't going to be ready for awhile. Which is fine, but I don't think that's what the fan expectations will be.

You need to understand that all 14 sec teams are ranked in the top 5. /aggy

[Leanderman 2277]

No worries about number of recruits taken, once the season starts the pledged recruits will start looking for better offers. Then the scramble will be fun to watch as they try to fill out their class.

Still a bad look when they had two guys not qualify last class and are still trying to get them enrolled in Spring.

It takes two to have a conversation. 

Jones' family and the Mond family are close, and they helped lock him in to A&M. I thought Sterns would help us there, but nope.

Jahari Rogers has a 3.89 shuttle. Jaylon Jones a 4.32. I think it's as simple as Rogers fitting a very specific profile that this staff covets. He has ELITE athleticism and change of direction. Jones is a good football player who has a limiting ceiling and should only be playing FS facing the ball - letting his instincts do the work. Once he committed to aggy I don't think there was any great gnashing of teeth - they simply moved to the next few targets. I imagine as long as he'll listen they'll talk to Rogers because you can't coach what he's got.

They continued to try and recruit him at safety (which he's a great fit at, maybe the best safety prospect in the state), but they gave up after awhile when they realized there wasn't much there. I don't think they were heartbroken or anything since like at WR, they'll always be able to find adequate takes at safety, and they've landed like five studs over two years. 

[elguapo 4586]

I didn't realize how many OL aggy has committed this cycle who already weigh 325-350 before their senior year of HS. I'm good with aggy taking all the fat unathletic OL they want.
