Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi


Machinator

Recommended Posts

If this is true I think we land Broughton.  I don't think he leaves the state.

Broughton and Collins are the highest ceiling TX DL in 2020. Where are they leaning/heading?

Collins is a Texas legacy and the Longhorns could be considered the leaders but A&M is in a better position than most think. Broughton has never shown as much interest in A&M as he has other schools. Alabama, LSU and Texas are standing out there.

Brian Perroni: GigEm247 Recruiting Chat

 

  Reveal hidden contents

    Is Hornsby Jimbo's #1 QB for the 2020 class?

A&M loves Hornsby. But they are also evaluating/offering others. Jimbo knows QB is the one position you can't afford to miss on. When Hornsby slowed things down last semester, I believe A&M was okay with that this far out.

    And who from 2020 have good chance to commit at Super Bowl party?

I would caution to get hopes up on a 'number' of commitments. Even if there are none that come out of it, with the visitor list and the way the Aggies have proven they can gain momentum from these things, it is bound to be considered a success no matter what. Devon Achane is one to potentially watch. Jalen Kimber and Troy Omeire both are high on the Aggies. James Sylvester could be one to watch.

    Yall still standing on the hard cap at 26?

Compliance at any school is very hard to get answers from. Everything has to deal in hypotheticals, so we haven't been able to figure out exactly where the 26 number came from. But yes, I do believe that is actually the number.

    How many RBs, LBs and CBs do we sign for 2020?

With RB, they want one of the elite guys on the board. If they could get two, they would do it. If only one, they could look at other possibilities late. As for LB, I would expect as many as possible. I don't know the exact number but I think the class could be around 22 or 23. 4 or 5 LBs wouldn't be out of the question. If they don't land Christian Williams, 3 CBs would be a good guess for next year.

    Based on what has occurred thus far, do you expect Jimbo to own Herman again when it comes to in state talent?

I don't think 2020 will be as lopsided as 2019. There are going to be more actual head-to-head battles this year.

    Who could potentially be the vocal class leader in this next class? A guy who will help with recruiting others to join.

Smart Chibuzo is that way a bit. Demas could definitely be but A&M has to be able to convince him to stop the other visits. I believe he will be in this class and so do a lot of people around him, so it would help immensely if he decided to shut things down completely. If Hornsby ends up in the class, he could be. Troy Omeire could be as well. So could Chris Thompson.

    What defensive tackles are we looking at for 2020? Seems pretty average that cycle

It's Branard Wright in the state and then a bunch of Louisiana and national guys. A&M is still working to get Jaquelin Roy and CamRon Jackson from LSU and 5-star McKinnley Jackson out of Mississippi. But, like with Adarious Jones, you are likely to see A&M zero in on a national target that may not quite be on the radar yet.

    How many of the currently committed 2020 OL end up in the class?

To be honest, I don't even want to hazard a guess. I have not been told anything from either side, so anything I say would be complete speculation.

    How good is James Sylvester?He doesn't really have tape your there but appears to have the measurables and some nice offers.

I think he plays the run a little better than most rush ends. Prince Dorbah is a better pass rusher at this point but Sylvester has the ability to add some really good muscle weight to his frame. Dorbah is not going to be as big. Sylvester is definitely an intriguing guy but, coming from a smaller school, is probably not one that is going to contribute immediately.

    What is the staff going to do with Jordan Jefferson? That is a very important ship to waste with limited sholly's available this 2020 recruiting cycle.

I can promise you that they are definitely talking about him and everyone else. They know that scholarships are too precious to waste so, if he or anybody signs, it is because they think he can contribute. It's definitely a delicate situation should they not think so, though, and will not be handled incredibly publicly.

    What's the odds on Mckinnley Jackson?Bama bound?

That's going to be a very, very tough one to pull. Just like with Nakobe Dean this year, you have every SEC school involved and it is right in the middle of an area that those more 'traditional' SEC schools in terms of geography have long dominated.

    Chances take more than one QB in 2020 class?

To be honest, I don't think it's out of the question. However, let's say a big-name guy like Hornsby commits early - it will be hard to land another really highly-ranked guy. But, with the depth in the state this year, you can find a second guy that has good potential.

    I really like Sam Adams II as our next elite running back. Will Fisher slow play him hoping to get Evans or go hard after him and use the first come ,first serve approach.

They seem to really like him as well. I don't think he's a slow-play guy. And he's used to sharing carries, so I don't think he would be turned off by another back. Evans is a confident kid and likely won't either. It's not guarantee that it would affect Evans at all, but a bird in hand...

    Any idea why LB Scott said he isn’t hearing much from A&M lately? He has good size and his LB film looks very good.

That one seems odd to me if for no other reason than lack of depth in the state. But, this year they are getting a whole cycle to get in on the national guys and have some confidence after landing Andre White this past year. A&M may not get the Nakobe Deans from out-of-state but if they get that next tier, they'd be happy with that rather than sign an in-state guy they may not be as high on.

    How much of an asset has it been having the FWK in Jimbo’s corner?

Rischad likes Fisher, but he's not anti- any school, no matter what people think. He has given kids rides to a number of places. But, the fact that he has a very good rapport with Fisher does not hurt at all.

    Any thoughts on the new TE coach’s recruiting ability?

I have not heard a lot of feedback on Finley just yet. That's not really a bad thing, but it's just too soon to have heard much as he's having to establish new relationships. He's not Brewster, but no hire was going to be. Brewster landed two very, very good TEs but he also got A&M in the door with Leal and the Aggies likely wouldn't have landed the 5-star without him laying the groundwork.

    Brian, Who are the fastest players in Texas for 2020

Devon Achane, Demond Demas, Lorando Johnson, Kelvontay Dixon, Kevontre Bradford, and Jahari Rogers

    someone above asked about the 2020 OL class Please predict how many OLs in the class and who they will be

I believe it will be 5. I think most of the current commitments are included, and possibly all. A&M wants a true tackle as well though. I don't think it will be Lindberg. Jaylen Garth is leaning toward Texas a bit right now but is a guy they love. Damieon George is another possibility.

    Who is a&m's next great pass rushers? If theres one? Or who would you see that being coming in?

Mowry could potentially be. He did very well at getting into the backfield this year. Leal is already way bigger than Myles Garrett was but, even from the SDE position, he could create some havoc. There just aren't that many elite edge guys in 2019 or 2020 though. There aren't the ones that you just let pin their ears back and go.

    Do we have any recruiters on staff that are Brewster caliber?

No. But almost no schools do. Elijah Robinson and Maurice Linguist both have very good reputations, though. And Terry Price is well-received in both Houston and DFW. None of them are bad recruiters either, which has not always been the case with recent A&M staffs.

    Broughton and Collins are the highest ceiling TX DL in 2020. Where are they leaning/heading?

Collins is a Texas legacy and the Longhorns could be considered the leaders but A&M is in a better position than most think. Broughton has never shown as much interest in A&M as he has other schools. Alabama, LSU and Texas are standing out there.

    Kimber seems like the Aggies' top target at CB. Do we land him and who else, would you guess, are likely would join him in 2020?

I think Kimber will be an Aggie. As for other corners, I don't know. McGlothern is seen as potentially a safety, so you will likely see some other corner offers go out.

    RJ Mickens, does he end up at A&M or elsewhere like a lot of Sumlin-era legacy 'croots?

Mickens has not been pursued as hard by the new A&M staff for whatever reason. If the Aggies start recruiting him harder, it might get interesting. But, as of now, I wouldn't bet on him carrying on the legacy.

    Thanks for the insight. I originally thought we were getting a dud in Robinson, but have been pleasantly surprised. It does appear that Peveto isn’t pulling his weight.

Peveto has laid the foundation with some players in the Southeast. But, his big test will be coming up. His brother used to coach at North Shore and he has always recruited the school wherever he has been. Can he do so at A&M?

    What have you seen or heard about what Austin and Leah are bringing to our recruiting that is new and helps make a difference?

Just overall organization, to be honest. That is what Austin Thomas is very good at and he will hold people accountable. Leah Knight is great with recruits and knows which players respond to different kids of treatment. It's a tough job.

    How good of shape with Collins?

Texas is in good position with the legacy deal but A&M was the first to offer and he will be back on campus again this coming weekend. It's closer than most think.

 

Perroni puts Kimber, Achane, omiere and Sylvester as guys he sees maybe pulling the trigger. That is a lot easier to handle then seeing a Collins , Broughton and or Garth being listed.

is omeire a fast 7 guy?

and yet a wise man once said that if you don’t get commits immediately following a recruiting event it was a dismal failure.

No wait it wasn’t a wise man it was a bunch of regards

Hahahahaha,

does the realization of an all guard class start to sink in now? Or will it be a slow butn?

 

The mods are already saying a few 2020 current OL commits might be told to look elsewhere. 

Of course they also said Aggy will focus on OT, with people like Lindberg, Garth, and George.......oops

Brian Perroni: 5-star to spend multiple days at A&M this weekend

When GigEm247 released the players it had confirmed for this weekend's big Super Bowl party underclassman event, there were a few players in the 'maybe' category. That included the big four targets from North Shore. While class of 2021 four-star wide receiver/athlete Shadrach Banks and class of 2021 quarterback Dematrius Davis have since confirmed they will be there and moved to the 'attending' column, the question of five-star class of 2020 running back Zachary Evans and four-star offensive tackle Damieon George remained.

We confirmed on Monday evening that not only will Evans be in town, he will actually be spending more than one day there. The nation's No. 2 overall prospect will be headed to Aggieland on Saturday for a visit. He will then stay the night and go to the Super Bowl party on Sunday. As Evans was at Georgia this past weekend for a visit and went to Texas the one prior, it is big for Texas A&M to once again get the nation's top-rated running back on campus again. George's status is still up in the air but he will likely make it Sunday with his two younger teammates.

At best they'll go 1 for 3. 

Other saying he's interested in playing the SEC, namely Bama, what feedback has Garth given Aggy for them to routinely mention him as a possibility in recruiting articles? I believe he's cancelled every "scheduled" visit.

They will milk that Evans story for all its worth

He's a nice respectful kid. 

 

Here's an update from Hamm Lite ::

Port Neches-Groves offensive tackle Jaylen Garth is not always talked about with some of the other top offensive linemen in the state of Texas for the class of 2020. However, he definitely should be.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound junior has an impressive offer list and just might have the highest upside of any tackles in the class. He recently took his first unofficial visit of the spring.

"So far, I've just been to Texas," Garth said on Monday evening. "I went up there a couple of weekends ago and that went really well. I like it up there a lot."

Garth has long maintained that Texas and Texas A&M were his top two schools. He was hoping to be in Aggieland for the Super Bowl party this weekend, but it does not look likely.

"I wanted to go to A&M this weekend, but it's on a Sunday," he said. "We have school the next day and my mom, she doesn't want to drive home late with work and school the next day. I'm still trying to convince her, but I don't think I'll be able to be there. I am definitely going down there again soon, though."

Garth says he remains in frequent contact with the Aggie staff.

"I talk to A&M a lot," he said. "They really wanted me to get there this weekend. I'm disappointed I can't. I talk to coach (Lee) Grimes and coach (Bradley Dale) Peveto a lot."

Though the Aggies and the Longhorns look to be battling for his services, one other program has at least piqued Garth's interest.

"LSU, they just offered me," he said. "I might go out there just to see it there. I want to see what it's like. I'm not sure if I'll make it though."

Though Garth has a top two, he does say one of those is in front of the other at the moment.

"A&M and Texas are still my top two," he said, "but I think I'm kind of leaning toward Texas the most right now. I've just been really liking them a lot."

Though he is not too close to making a final decision, Garth's commitment is not all that far off in the future.

"I don't want to wait too long," he said of a commitment date. "At least before the summer, for sure. Probably at some point this spring."

Garth is really a recruitment that these guys have pinned their hopes to on the OL, and I really think it's one that is going to fuck them up. A straight shot to the seeds if he commits to us. And the primary culprits will be their 995ers, who have talked up his talent and interest in aTm every step of the way. Honestly, the rankings don't compare, but this is going to end up like a reverse Leal to these people.
