Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi

I knew Bama backed off of Zeke some time ago which led me to believe something fishy was going on, but what transpired with UGA? Allegedly Zeke was going to commit to UGA roughly a month ago before rumors arose that UGA cooled on Zeke after concerns about his sideline antics clashing with the NS coaching staff or something of that sort? I'm glad Texas went all in on Bijan and landed him. Didn't Zeke make the claim that he wanted to win championships and play behind a stout OL? So why the hell would he choose aggy? They have one double digit win season in the last twenty years, their OL has been dominated against the two teams they played with a pulse and the aggy are nothing more than an afterthought in the national championship picture year after year.

He slept they coach

aggy is 104th in line yards per carry for their OL. That offense isn't going anywhere until they fix their OL and there's no easy solution to that problem.

They weren't great last year either, even with a better OL and Trayveon Williams.  With those two pieces gone, it's been... yikes.

That's a huge problem for Jimbo's offense, where he wants to eat clock and run the ball on first and second down and then count on dialing up a perfect third down conversion pass.  And Mond is not bad at executing that offense, when he's in 3rd & 3 or 3rd & 4.  But that offense gets much more difficult to continually move the chains when you have to convert 3rd & 8, 3rd & 9, and 3rd & 12 all in the same drive.

On the bright side for Jimbo and A&M, the cavalry’s coming with this 2020 class. So far they have no prospects of signing an OT and have committed:

1) a guy who’s already so shitty at OL that he’s been moved to DT

2) a guy who’s overweight in HS, has no chance at OT and will probably make for a shitty guard

3) a guy who’s overweight in HS, has no chance at OT and will be a total JAG

and 4) a guy who’s overweight in HS, has no chance at OT and might make for a decent guard.

And with the way their fanbase is already rabidly opposed to Henson, they might be looking at their 3rd OL coach in three years next year.  Although they will likely return 4 out of five starters from their current starting line, unless some of them test the grad transfer market.

Losing their center and returning 4 out of 5 from a shitty OL worked really well for them this year, so I certainly hope they try it again next year.

Hiring a bad OL corch to mentor a slow OL of mostly guards in an offense that needs the run game to operate? 

You just hate to see it.

Chris Morris wants to commit on an official visit. He will be at A&M or is official during the Alabama weekend. That’s a good bet for when he decides.

Ngata just visited Arizona State this past weekend. He now just needs to set up a trip to Oklahoma state and then he plans to make a decision very soon thereafter. A&M is still in a good position

Antonio Doyle plans to take all five of his officials. He has four set up so far. All signs are still pointing to A&M.

Dontae Manning has long said he plans to commit at the under armour game. I don’t see it lasting that long but I guess it could. The talk is that it is still likely A&M.

Devon Achane wants to take some locations as well. The only one scheduled so far is Florida State on his bye week late in the season. I think this will be A&M or Houston. Houston has Leroy Burrell and Carl Lewis recruiting him for track, so that’s a big drive. And they could end up with Malik Hornsby. But A&M absolutely loves him and I think that’s where he ends up.

Garrett Hayes is a huge question mark. Nobody seems to know what he’s going to do. He is not the biggest fan of interviews and he’s also focused more on the season than recruiting. A&M has the in with his mom being an Aggie but Arkansas and TCU are also in it. He’s the crystal ball that I am the least confident about.

Noah Sewell will be at A&M for his official the Alabama weekend. He’s going to be very tough to pry away from Oregon

For a while, A&M was really the only one of Donell Harris‘s leaders that was pushing after he reclassified. But Florida and LSU have both become major players. I still think it ends up being A&M though.

And then there is Zachary Evans. He was all set to commit to Georgia a couple weeks ago but they wanted him to hold off until he was reinstated. That bought other teams like A&M time to get back in it that there is some buzz among the A&M commits that the Aggies are in good shape but he still a take for Georgia so this one won’t likely be over until he signs somewhere

This update on Evans has it all. He was all set to commit to Georgia, but they wouldn't take his commitment. He's still a take for them, though, so if Evans picks A&M, it's a huge head-to-head win. On the other hand, if Georgia changes its mind, it's not over until Evans signs. Sounds like a win-win-win.

The good news is, when you look at Jimbo's track record of fixing oline problems at his previous stops..........you see.......... advantage aggy.

aggy looks exactly like our teams post mack.  shitty oline and shitty qb play will have shitty results on the field.  defense will carry the team for awhile and then it too will start to suck.

they are going to be in a death spiral for awhile, like we were.

they are going to be in a death spiral for awhile, like we were.

The difference is that our death spiral had a fairly easy solution: get the right coach. Other than that, our schedule is not terribly difficult, and we do not have a lot of competition for top recruits in Texas. Once we fixed the coaching problem, everything fell into place.

By contrast, I don't see aggy climbing out of this hole without changing conferences. They are always going to have several guaranteed losses in the SEC. And as long as Texas is doing well, it will be hard for aggy to attract recruits with promises that aggy will play a lot of superior in-conference opponents. Nobody wants to go to a school where they are basically guaranteed a bunch of losses, especially if they can go to Texas and see a clear path to winning the conference and getting into the championship mix.

Moreover, even when aggy collectively realizes that their conference is dooming them, where are they going to go? They cannot very well come back to the Big 12. That would be admitting a mistake. They can't go to a lesser conference, because they think they are above that. Aggy is going to be stuck in this situation for a long, long time.

The aggy assumption that they would model their program after bama in the SEC is one of their worst failings. It hasn't occurred to them that Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Mississippi St are also programs they may end up emulating. South Carolina is a perfect comparison for the reality of sec aggy.

Recaps the game and plays a whole bunch of ifs and buts to make it seem like aggy was the one that would have won comfortably.

(He also did this same after the Clemson game. "If not for play here or there, WE'RE the ones up 21-0 on the national champs!")
