Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

[RomaVicta 29909]

The below will be the engine that pulls the chain that takes the rollercoaster car to the first and highest peak of expectation.

Sure you do. You only lost depth to the portal last year and this year. This year throw in some key starters portaling out or bolting for the NFL.

Elko's a great, no-BS coach! We have all the talent in place for a run. It was just the lack of a great coach. We are set!

No concern that Elko so far seems to have about zero appeal to players already at A&M or leaning to committing to A&M. No concern about the iffy coaching staff. Only certainty in the destiny of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas! 

Elko is about to experience hell and failure in a very public way. At least he'll get the money.

They'll be extremely lucky if their "very dark" journey is only three years.

Aggy is now surrounded by sharks in Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, and Georgia. They have nothing to sell right now that those schools don't have in more abundance: a history of success, better college atmospheres, more talented rosters, and competent NIL programs. Aggy had its chance a decade ago when they left for the SEC and (briefly) escaped the shadow of Texas and OU. For a short time they were the "new new" thing and bags were king. Even with those advantages, however, they never got over the hump and were, at best, a top 3-6 program in the SEC. Now they'll be solidly middle of the pack, competing with the likes of Arky and Missouri for scraps. If they're lucky.

It is fucking bleak for them and I am here for it.

they have a full OL rebuild ahead of them. they have guys who have taken clear steps back year over year (Fatheree, Foster), they had a freshman AA from The Athletic in Kam Dewberry who then as a soph started 1 game vs ULM

TJ Shanahan played in 2 games (ULM and New Mexico.) Erb has played in 1 game over 2 years (ULM.) Thomasson played vs ULM and ACU. Crownover played in 9 games but started none. Aki played in like 4 games and had very few snaps IIRC

they bring back Nabou and Zuhn who started every game this year at LG and LT.

it's a full on OL rebuild, with a bunch of guys who have backslid since their first year on campus (Fatheree, Foster, Dewberry), or who weren't good in the first place (Shanahan, Thompasson, Erb, Crownover) - and getting good/talented OL is easily the toughest thing to find in the portal.

ask us how Texas fans know how much having a bad OL can hold back your talented skill players. ask Texas fans about the growing pains that come with playing a super young/green OL together.

meanwhile, they still have not announced their coaches (which i think means they can't recruit/do in homes?), they are burning the advantage they get from having bowl practices, we don't even know who is coaching their OL since per their website they literally have no one in that position (https://12thman.com/sports/football/coaches/2023)

here are their coaches for 2024:

here is what comes up if you are a recruit and search Texas A&M OL coach:

they are doing everything they can to not take advantage of bowl practices, additional coaching time, doing anything different with technique with the new OL coach, recruiting, anything.

in other words, they are pulling an Aggie.

Yes. Ignoring the actual development of Christian Jones, and development of Devin Campbell. Oh, and even if it were true, Pancake Factory motherfucker, so I guess the alums stepped up and did more than a 12th man ever fucking did. 

As a Texas fan, we win this argument either way. Just like fucking real life with those renobs.

Reality hits those idiots in the face over and over again, year after year.  They just convince themselves it's something else, a vast burnt orange conspiracy to hold them down, an incredible confluence of unforeseeable (but also predictable) events that are out of their control (but also largely self-inflicted) that are unlikely to ever happen again (but also recurring), etc. etc.

ATM should forfeit their bowl game.  It's setting up to be an ass beating anyway since half their team is in the portal.  That lets them show Robinson the door also.  Since it's logical, they will never do it.  Instead Robinson will continue to fuck them on the recruiting trail while he's the interim coach and then Gundy is going to embarrass them in the bowl game, which will be extra delightful after Texas fuckstomped Okie St in the Big XII Championship game.  We are in the Ragnorak of aggy misery.

You could get away with that in 2020 or 2021. Not 2023.

The Bowls don't sign those contracts with the conferences just to have teams forfeit.

And if teams could forfeit they would do it all the time.

[kevwun 15790]

They really should have never accepted the invite in the first place.  They did so 2.5 weeks  after they canned Jimbo when the coaching search was already a shitshow.  So another self-inflicted wound.

They need the money.  Several million dollars to each school.  I assume the SEC pools the $, but they're in dire straights financially after firing Jimbo.

So even if Nolan does go back to Aggy are they just going to let him back into practice? Surely he won’t be Playing in the bowl game.

The Texas Bowl payout is 6.4 Million combined for both teams. No way they can aggy it up enough to not be profitable. Plus there is this.. 

For the 2023-24 academic year:
Each conference will receive $300,000 for each of its schools when the school’s football team meets the NCAA’s APR for participation in a postseason football game. Each independent institution will also receive $300,000 when its football team meets that standard.

A conference will receive $6 million for each team that is selected for a Playoff Semifinal. There will be no additional distribution to conferences whose teams qualify for the national championship game. A conference will receive $4 million for each team that plays in a non-playoff bowl under the arrangement.

Each conference whose team participates in a Playoff Semifinal, Cotton, Fiesta, or Peach bowls, or in the national championship game will receive $2.85 million to cover expenses for each game.

Based on calculations from the 2022-23 season, the following distributions were made in the spring of 2023 (Estimates for the 2023-24 season will be finalized following the 2024 CFP National Championship.):

Each of the 10 conferences received a base amount. For conferences that have contracts for their champions to participate in the Orange, Rose, or Sugar bowls, the base combined with the full academic performance pool was approximately $79.41 million for each conference. The five conferences that do not have contracts for their champions to participate in the Orange, Rose or Sugar bowls received approximately $102.77 million in aggregate (full academic pool plus base). The conferences distribute these funds as they choose. Notre Dame received a payment of $3.89 million by meeting the APR standard; the other six independents shared $1.89 million.

Certain conferences in the Football Championship Subdivision received approximately $3.08 million in aggregate.

Why would he go back before the bowl game?  Then they might expect him to practice and play.

Are they buying him back or is it just too much hassle for him to go somewhere else for less than his asking price so he gets nothing more?

[kevwun 15790]

Atm has no problem bidding against themselves.  He'll get a raise out of it somehow.

They had a cakewalk schedule this year and ended it at 7-5.
