Can't have it both ways Ags.  You don't get to keep sucking the SEC teet and swoon over conference affiliation, then cry about how hard it is to actually win your conference.

Yeah... 

  • If sec is as tough as aggy claims, then aggy should never have gone to sec. 
  • With jimbo, aggy will likely not be able to even win the sec west. 
  • Funny that aggy talks down B12 -- aggy only won B12 one time (1998).

QBs can be late risers too. By the time King rose to the forefront a lot of schools already had their QB takes (including us). King is very much a five-star and A&M got unbelievably lucky.

I think both he and Card are top 10-15 in the state, and top 75-125 in the country types. Good QB1s, but I think King is overrated some as a 5*.

TexAgs’ Hunter Goodwin, a former A&M tackle, former NFL tight end and offensive line savant, is duly impressed.

Their savant who happens to live and work in College Station:

Glad they got an ex A&M tight end to build an article concerning OGs around. Impressive.

Rivals 250 board is currently fucked - but an article accompanying it says that aggy commit NJ DT Isaiah Raikes broke into the 250.  He want from being unranked to the 189th best player in the country (4 star).

It's really bad, guys, if something is happening to influence these young guys' decisions about where to get their college educations because it impacts the rest of their life.

It was OK if that was happening from 1984 through the mid-90s but NO MORE. BILLY LIUCCI SAY WON'T SOMEOME THINK OF DEM CHIDDREN

Also, remember that while there is no point in the history of the University of Texas that an Aggie would say "oh they weren't cheating then", now we're suddenly cheating. If you asked "did we cheat under <any former coach>", well of course y'all did why would any kid choose Austin over a male ROTC Ag school????? But something has changed and now we've thrown the rule book out.

He gets final approval over which recruits they're going to make a promotional video about. You might think that doesn't keep him very busy but he does put a lot of thought into it.

You miss out on Vernon Broughton and Princely, but get your "plan B" to both those guys and "at worst" it's a push?

 

If they guys at the top of their is are not as good as they guys lower down on their list they ought to start with the guys lower down on their list.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but having all guards is a good thing. 

  Hide contents

Aggies have plenty of reasons to be enthusiastic about the 2020 football recruiting class. There may be one more than some think.

Coach Jimbo Fisher’s 2020 class is already ranked ninth in the nation and climbing. He’s gotten a commitment from five-star receiver Demond Demas‍. Committed quarterback Haynes King‍, defensive end Fadil Diggs‍ and safety Jaylon Jones‍ are all rated among the top ten in the nation at their respective positions.

The Aggies are also in strong contention to perhaps add highly-rated running backs Zach Evans‍ and Daniyel Ngata‍, safety Antonio Johnson‍ and defensive end Donell Harris‍, among others.

But another reason to hold this class in high regard is the high quality of its guards.

Texas A&M’s class currently includes three guards – Akinola Ogunbiyi‍ (pictured above), Smart Chibuzo‍ and Josh Bankhead‍ – that are ranked among the nation’s top 35 at the position‍. Ogunbiyi‍ is ranked 10th. The Aggies are also considered the leader for Chris Morris‍ of Memphis, Tennessee, who is the country’s second-ranked guard by 247sports.com.

Theoretically, within a season or two, A&M could have one of the better guard tandems in college football. Only seven programs have commitments from more than one guard ranked among the top 40.

Woodlands College Park OL Josh Bankhead was the second pledge in the 2020 class.

Of course, some guards may shift to tackle or center. Some tackles or centers may shift to guard. But the point is that A&M is making an impressive, though perhaps under-appreciated, haul there.

TexAgs’ Hunter Goodwin, a former A&M tackle, former NFL tight end and offensive line savant, is duly impressed.

“You’ve got to have good guards in the passing game,” Goodwin said.  “Oftentimes the best way to disrupt a play and a quarterback is to make him uncomfortable in the pocket. Collapsing the interior line is the best way to do that. If you don’t have good guard and center play that can post up and have stiff front, then the quarterback is constantly under duress.”

Still, guards are typically under-appreciated. A good group of guards won’t generally have a major impact on overall class ratings. From 2014 through the developing 2020 recruiting class, just four guards have been anointed five-star status by 247sports.com.

One reason for that may be that it’s just too difficult to evaluate interior offensive linemen. Linemen drills at camps are typically geared towards pass protection. Often, a guard is matched up against a speedy defensive end with predictable results. The guard looks overmatched.

“When you're on the end of the line of scrimmage, your match-ups are more visible,” Goodwin said. “Your athleticism can show itself. When you’re a guard, your athleticism is harder to notice unless you’re watching tape of every snap of every game from an end zone angle.

“They’ll be the guys that never get talked about. Good guard play may not be as recognized because it’s harder to see. It’s not as visible to the fan, but its every bit as important.
- Hunter Goodwin

“With guard play, you’ve got a guy right in your face. You’re boxing in a tight ring.”

Playing in tight spaces requires a different skill set. Guards are often just asked to create a stalemate at the line of scrimmage or help with double team blocks in pass protection.

In run blocking, they need brute strength get a push at the line but must be athletic enough to pull on sweeps or to reach the linebackers for next-level blocks.

Successful running teams always have strong, powerful guards.

Still, guards almost always will be rated lower, drafted lower and eventually paid lower salaries than tackles.

But just because they’re paid less as professionals and celebrated less as college recruits does not mean they should be less appreciated.

“Tackles are paid more. They get more notoriety because they’re long and flashy,” Goodwin said. “They’re like a thoroughbred. They’re long, lean and pretty to watch. But if you need to haul heavy crap up a mountain, you go to a quarter horse or a pack mule.

“They’ll be the guys that never get talked about. Good guard play may not be as recognized because it’s harder to see. It’s not as visible to the fan, but its every bit as important.”

You forgot the part where he says he's not even sure aggy will have two spots left on the defensive line.

Almost got dizzy from all the spin in that Brauninger article.

The recent aggy apparatchik constant use of 'professional coaching staff' is so delicious.

As a result of the ministry of disinformation, these rubes actually believe they are “professional” recruiters and Texas are “amateurs”. How in the world can these idiots believe that dribble? Just look at recruiting rankings.

 

Yeah the professional vs. amateur conversation has me laughing.  Do the big bad aggy realize they are admitting to getting their asses whipped by alleged amateurs?

So who was it that started that rumor?  He has my vote as Surly poster of the 2020 recruiting cycle.  I’m buying that dude a beer at the LSU game.

It's not a rumor. He has inside information. I think he works in hydraulics.

For a long time they confused our post-Mack Brown / Charlie Strong ineptitude and the associated increase in their recruiting success with the SECSECSEC. Now it's clear that when Texas is competing at its historical level it doesn't make a shit what they do. They have been, and always will be, little brother.
