There's enough in there to convince themselves that there's good reason if they don't impress this year, while keeping the roller coaster going up for next year.

 

I'm interested to see if their complex offense clicks because Ole Miss, Miss State, and Arkansas are going to put up points if you're constantly going 3 and out. And by interested, I mean interested in watching that plane crash into the side of a mountain.

The DL and LB should be a decent amount better than the secondary. The problem is analysts looking at things like returning starters and stats and taking them at face value for how good a team/unit will be.

Truth. I have heard multiple aggy saying that Chattman will be their best corner. Let that sink in.

That LB group is 1 injury away from being terrible.  The DL has a couple of nice pieces, but Keke playing DE is out of position and depending on Mack to be a starter wont get it done.

Stupid sip, they play SEC football.   They don't need corners, just 10 DTs and a rover. 

Thats why they gave you all those overrated DBs last year, they aren't needed in SECwrtsSECW brand footballs.  The road the the MNC is paved over CS on its way the the SECW.

Yep, I saw the C Struggs shoutout and thought it was a parody account for a second.

[Enchubben 5510]

I’m sure they have been pushing the commit now angle, we’re filling up. You can always take visits later, but may not get a chance later to commit when we’re full.

I expect these guys to take their visits during the season and when Aggy flounders, some will decommit.

[NorLa Horns 1458]

Man. How do they sell "the future" with this lineup? At least Texas had the talent. They just need that something something to get over the top. 

Aggy is getting lined up to get drove like your mom last night. Aggy uncommit season is gonna be epic. And then that whole "we are full" excuse is gonna smack some of these kids full in the face.

Losing out on a couple of the dbs is no big deal because of last year's haul and we've supplemented nicely oos. But losing Leal and Wright seemingly out of the blue when both were considered leans is a nut punch. And the extent to which they are cheating is irrelevant. Whatever they are doing and whatever they are selling is obviously working. Rationalize it away talking about bread and decommit season all you want, but we can't be losing in state head to heads with agricultural like this.

I think Wright is more indicative of what's going on at aggy world. By all accounts he was waiting for the UA game to commit. This hurts because, as you said, it's out of the blue but it's hard to get worked up that much about a non day 1 difference maker at wr. Leal otoh...

I wouldn't worry. Jimbo has a good track record of taking highly ranked WRs and helping them not get drafted.

My greatest fear, which I think is coming true, is that the sleeping giant that is Texas A&M is going to replace Ohio State in the hierarchy of college football, with Alabama the next in line to get crushed by the aggys! 

Believe it or not, I think they're trying to sell this idea to recruits and their families..

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but our QB combo isn’t exactly winning Heismans 

If you think Buchele  /Ehlinger is somehow easily better than Starkel/ Mond , you need to put the kool aid down. Starkel throws a pick 6 a couple times a game but other than that, he can put points on the board. We will see if that was because of the air raid offense or his QB skills more this year with Jimbo’s offense. Mond can’t exactly complete a pass during certain 4 down stretches but sometimes connects. You forget Buchele lost his ability to throw the deep ball, and hasn’t thrown over the middle of the field since Pluto was a planet. Not to mention Ehlinger literally threw 2 game losing picks. Again, I have a minor in mocking Aggy and their delusion but we are sitting in a glass house right now.

Mond and Starkel are going to have a hell of a struggle in Jimbo's complex offense. Our offense under Beck... well' it's not great, but it's a great deal simpler.

I watched Kirk carry their passing game on his back last year. Those qb’s sucked out loud outside of him. They will show it this year with a bunch of jag receivers and a worse OL.

[RomaVicta 29907]

I don't think our QBs have to be Heisman material to hold their own against Mond and Starkel. I'm surprised anyone would lay our offensive problems mainly on QB play last year. We all know it was the OL.

Buechelle could be deadly with average time to pass and Ehlinger showed promise in big games as a true freshman. I think I prefer what our QB competition will produce than what the Aggies end up with.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Starkel vs top 50 S&P+ defenses last year: 

51.3% completion percentage,  4 interceptions, 5 touchdowns, 181.3 yards passing a game. 

Mond vs top 50 S&P+ defenses last year: 

54.8% completion percentage, 3 interceptions, 2 touchdowns, and 117 yards passing a game. 

Both split reps vs Miss State and Auburn. 

Starkel and Mond were absolutely shit against the good defenses they played last year. They looked better against these powerhouse defenses. Ole Miss (#117 adjusted defense), New Mexico (#91 adjusted defense), WF (#65 adjusted defense), Arkansas (#112 adjusted defense), UCLA (#120 adjusted defense), and so on. Starkel in particular was decent to good against shit teams and terrible against defenses with a pulse.
