Depends on who others close with, most notably us. Theyll get pased by GA, period. Then how big is clemson’s class? Then what do we do?

Clemson already has 24 verbals. LSU and Oregon both have 20 verbals. ND 21. OU 17. Auburn 16. tOSU 15.

Lose Carter and don't add anyone big they'll finish in the 8-10 range based on previous years' class scores.

I'm not convinced Hookfin is going to pan out.  The reason I feel this way is because I've spent most of my life in the weight room and I can tell when someone is going to be a hard gainer, and he fit

He seems to be appropriately paid. aggy D is currently top 20 in only his first year and they’ve got some good players coming in. He’s solely responsible for stealing Brian Williams from us.

They're f***ed if Williams and Sternberger leaves. 

This is as absolute as the laws of gravity.  Look at the losses this season.  Shut him down, you shut the offense down.  Simple as that.  Losing him, and a top receiving threat forces Mond to make plays on his own; which he's been horrible at over the course of the season.  

The strength of their defense was the DL stopping the run.  They lose those guys as well.  Going to be a hilarious season next year.

They almost completely get their OL and WR groups back, so it'll be up to Mond to take the next step. I'm skeptical that he'll do it, but aggies sometimes disappoint me by not sucking as badly as I hope or expect

Their front six on defense is getting destroyed, which was the team's biggest strength; they're losing 4/6 starters there assuming Dodson and Marmaduke don't leave early. If one or both of those leave, they're fucked. 

NFL draft twitter is starting to talk up Kendrick Rogers, and if any agent runners are able to get in his ear about leaving early, it wouldn't surprise me to see him go

LOL

*laughing at Mond taking over.  Guys a head case.  TW took a tremendous amount of pressure off him.  Lose that, force Mond to be "the guy" and he cracks like a frozen PVC pipe.  Even in games he did "well" in (see Clemson) it was a lot of 'chuck & pray' passing....bailed out by receivers making great plays on the ball (high balls).

Seems unlikely. Marmaduke and Rogers are also draft eligible, but seem unlikely to leave. Any of the four leaving would be big blows.  

Huh, Dodson was talking like it was going to be his last year earlier in the season. Would be too bad if he decided to stick around.

Damn, Craig is all kinds of shitheel - he starts the whole fight then ducks when things actually heat up

 

 

Dameyune Craig's entire value for ATM is driving around DFW with a car trunk full of cash. His basic value is his complete lack of ethics. It is pieces of shit like this that have showed up in Texas since ATM went to the SEC that are ruining the fucking sport.

Appears the 247 Ags have the answer to the LB woes

1. Levi Jones  - who was dismissed from USC had FSU/Jimbo 2nd in his recruitment. 

2. Demani Richardson to LB 

 

I gotta be honest, I really want the Levi Jones thing to work out because that would be a perfect locker room addition.

    Texas A&M took a big blow last night when Baton Rouge (La.) U-High four-star linebacker Christian Harris switched his pledge from the Aggies to Alabama.

    Though you never want to see your commitments visit another school – especially one that has multiple recent national titles – there was not a ton of concern on A&M’s part going in to this past weekend’s official to Tuscaloosa. They were not discounting it, but felt they could keep Harris in the fold. However, the visit went better than expected and Alabama had made Harris a priority. A&M definitely began to realize that it would be a fight.

    The Aggies will try to get an in-home and get Jimbo Fisher for one as well, but Harris plans to sign early so this doesn’t appear to have the makings of a Bobby Brown situation from last year.

    So where does A&M go from here?

    Before getting Harris’ commitment, A&M had a pair of Georgia linebackers on campus for unofficial visits. One of those, Kevon Glenn of Dutchtown, is still uncommitted. However, he has not heard from the Aggies much at all lately. He would be interested and, the good part for A&M, is that he is not likely to sign early. Glenn has not set up any official visits yet but will likely schedule them to Missouri and Georgia Tech soon. A&M liked what it saw from him enough to offer at one point and he is a pretty versatile player, so it would not be a huge shock to see him get some renewed interest.

    The other prospect was Nick Jackson of Atlanta Lovett. The 6-foot-1.5, 225-pound defender, who could play inside or out, liked what he saw from Aggieland on his trip but there just really wasn’t room once Harris committed. Jackson made a commitment to Virginia late last month and is pretty solid but renewed heavy interest from A&M would likely pique his interest.

    You also can’t forget five-star Nakobe Dean out of Mississippi. He officially visited for the UAB game and we had a big writeup yesterday on where things stood with him. A&M is No. 3 behind the 1A and 1B of Georgia and Alabama. The Aggies are selling the engineering program with him but also the fact that he can be the face of the defense. He wouldn’t be the “next Roquan Smith,” etc. at A&M. That is something that appeals to him as well. It’s an uphill battle with Dean for sure but A&M is not out of it. He is enrolling early and will take his final official visit this coming weekend to LSU.

    People have asked about LSU four-star commit Marcel Brooks. He’s an OLB or Rover, though, and I’m not sure he’s realistic. He has at least shown some interest but I don’t see him ending up at A&M.

    Others have asked about one-time LSU commit Zach Edwards out of Starkville, Miss. He has some hurdles to clear off the field and it’s pretty telling that he is not really being recruited by anybody at this point. He has long wanted to be part of the A&M class but he’s not in it, so you can read into that what you like.

    One person that has not heard from the Aggies yet but that could potentially do so is Matt Jones of Odessa Permian. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound athletic defender is set to play a combination of defensive end and outside linebacker for Baylor but could fit a number of spots.

    In the junior college ranks, Jashua Allen of Arizona Western had at least received interest from A&M at one point. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound defender is committed to Colorado but the Buffs are without a coach at this point.

    A year ago, Bradley Dale Peveto went into Louisiana and Georgia after the Early Signing Period and found a few unsigned guys he liked. While A&M did not end up inking any of them, you could see a similar strategy happen this year.

    The good news for A&M is that Andre White Jr. out of Pennsylvania is a guy that the Aggies love and his official visit this past weekend went very well. He plans to enroll early and, while other schools – namely Penn State – have not given up on him, I expect him to be in College Station in January. White can play inside linebacker, which is absolutely the biggest position of need

A couple of things to watch regarding Brewster's exit from ATM:

1) For the guys who are on the take, it really doesn't matter much to us who is recruiting them. However, with other schools paying comparable dough, Brewster's exit could matter to whoever finished second.

2) Brewster was recruiting both JUCO dbs that ATM is in on. I'll be really surprised if either signs with ATM now.

3) Leal sure seems like an aggie through and through. That said, if he wasn't just flat out bought, which might be the case, can Oscar Giles out-recruit air? Does Carrington help any here as a supplement?

4) We should all be glad Brewster is gone for other reasons as well. He works the families pretty hard and if you fall asleep at all, he's the guy who lands the surprise visit. That was coming for Texas, and it would have fucking sucked.

How big of a shit bag do you have to be when even the guy who covered up for Jameis Winston won't recruit you?

Yes... the patented aggie strategy of finding a few unsigned gems that they like after the early signing period and then not signing any of them. Works every time.

We're also going to need you to tell us about the "signing day surprise".

Is this in regards to one of our 2019 commits?

10 recruiting storylines as early signing period approaches

ByDAMON SAYLES 9 minutes ago

In the final day of November, we've reached the 11th hour of recruiting for the early signees of the 2019 class.

Dec. 19 is the first day football recruits can sign a national letter of intent during the NCAA's early signing period. The good news for Texas A&M fans is that many of the Aggie recruits are planning to take advantage of the early period, therefore ending any shot of another team flipping them.

As Dec. 19 approaches, there are still a lot of questions that needs to be answered. The Aggies have 23 commits in the 2019 class, which means there are still a few holes to fill. And with the recruiting success of Jimbo Fisher and his staff last year, there's plenty of opportunity for this year's class to be completed with fireworks.

Here are 10 storylines for fans to watch as the early signing period rapidly approaches.

IS BANKS THE BIGGEST TARGET?

We've all heard about the importance of landing quality linebackers in this class. Signing the best defensive backs is a priority for this team, as well -- which would explain why Houston's Marcus Banks arguably is the most important remaining target in the Aggies' 2019 class.

Banks has Texas A&M, Alabama, Texas, Florida and Florida State among the top schools. He made it to College Station for back-to-back games in November, and the Aggies are hoping to close the deal. His commitment would mean Texas A&M having three 4-star cornerbacks in Banks, Erick Young and Jeffery Carter, as well as 4-star safeties Brian Williams and Demani Richardson.

The secondary was a troubled area for Texas A&M on the field this season. Having these five players signed would give the upperclassmen a run for their money.

WILL A&M LAND ANOTHER LINEBACKER?

Linebacker is consistently a position of concern regarding Texas A&M recruiting. It doesn't help that the Aggies just lost its highest-ranked linebacker pledge in Christian Harris, who flipped from Texas A&M to Alabama on Wednesday.

Texas A&M's 2019 class still has linebacker commits in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's Andre White Jr., Tallahassee, Florida's Tarian Lee Jr. and Dayton, Texas' RJ Orebo. All three are 3-star prospects, and White and Orebo are expected to sign in December. Lee said he's a firm commit but is still weighing whether or not he signs in December.

A fourth linebacker would definitely help the class. Atlanta's Nick Jackson is a 3-star prospect who is committed to Virginia but really likes Texas A&M. Hampton, Georgia's Kevon Glenn is an uncommitted 3-star prospect who also would be a nice get for the Aggies.

The big-fish land, however, would be Nakobe Dean -- and while the Aggies are still alive in the race for the Horn Lake, Mississippi, 5-star talent, Alabama and Georgia seem to be the frontrunners.

ANOTHER 5-STAR ADDED TO THE CLASS?

Nakobe Dean, the No. 1 inside linebacker in the 2019 class per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, was mentioned earlier -- and for valid reason -- but the Crystal Ball predictions currently have him headed to Georgia. You can bet Texas A&M will continue to fight for Dean until his signature graces the national letter of intent of another university.

The relentlessness of Fisher's coaching staff is something that has become a pleasant discussion piece for fans of Texas A&M recruiting. There is no such thing as a commitment who is out of reach with this staff -- which keeps two 5-star prospects on the radar until they actually sign.

Along with Dean, Amite, Louisiana, defensive tackle Ishmael Sopsher is a player the Aggies are hoping to score the minor recruiting upset. Sopsher, the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle and No. 7 player overall, per the 247Sports Composite, is a heavy LSU lean, but he is taking an official visit to College Station this weekend.

WHERE WILL STRIPLING END UP?

For months, Texas A&M was believed to be the leader for Katy Mayde Creek 4-star defensive end Marcus Stripling. In recent weeks, however, some are wondering if he could end up 
playing college ball in another conference.

Earlier this week, Stripling sent a message via social media that his top four includes Texas A&M, Oklahoma, LSU and Alabama. His Crystal Ball predictions shifted from being in favor of Texas A&M to being in favor of Oklahoma. But nothing is set in stone as Stripling plans on announcing and signing on Dec. 19.

Stripling had his first in-home visit Thursday with LSU. He's only been on one official visit -- to Oklahoma the weekend of Nov. 9. He has been to Texas A&M multiple times on unofficial visits and was at Kyle Field for the marathon game against LSU.

With early signing period less than three weeks away, every move Stripling makes will be watched closely. He's being recruited to Texas A&M by defensive ends coach Terry Price and defensive tackles coach Elijah Robinson.

ANY DECOMMITS AFTER HARRIS?

Texas A&M's 2019 recruiting class suffered a blow on Wednesday when Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 4-star linebacker Christian Harris flipped his pledge from Texas A&M to Alabama. Harris is ranked a top-10 inside linebacker nationally.

Harris' decommitment came as a shock of sorts -- and it was news that Aggie fans are hoping not to repeat itself. While no other athletes are expected to decommit, a couple of athletes have been on watch.

The 3-star duo of Tarian Lee Jr. and offensive tackle Adrian Medley are players in question, primarily because of their locations. Lee is from Tallahasse, Florida, while Medley is from Pensacola, Florida. Lee, however, had an in-home visit with Texas A&M on Thursday and told GigEm247 that nothing has changed with his commitment.

Some Texas A&M fans also are keeping an eye on Mansfield Legacy 4-star cornerback Jeffery Carter. Alabama is a team trying to win him over, and he was in Tuscaloosa recently and will return for an official visit the weekend of Dec. 7.

WILL A JUCO PLAYER SIGN?

The first day a junior college player can sign a national letter of intent is Dec. 19. Will it be a day that the Aggies can add a college-experience player to its 2019 class?

The biggest JUCO name associated with the Aggies is Dreshun Miller. The Eastern Arizona College 4-star cornerback is currently committed to LSU, but there have been discussions about him mutually parting ways with the Tigers -- and Texas A&M is on a short list of potential destinations.

Arizona Western College 4-star cornerback Elijah Blades has been a name Aggie fans have asked about, but he's an Oregon commit. Independence (Kansas) Community College 4-star Kuony Deng would have filled a need at linebacker, but he committed to Cal on Nov. 23.

If the Aggies sign a JUCO player, Miller could be the best option. He's a cornerback who also can play safety at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds. The biggest question involves whether or not the Aggies will need another defensive back commit -- assuming they keep who they have and land a player like Marcus Banks.

DOES BREWSTER'S DEPARTURE PLAY A ROLE?

When assistant coach Tim Brewsterannounced his plans to leave Texas A&M in order to reunite with head coach Mack Brown at North Carolina, it meant the Aggies not only lost their tight ends coach but also a solid recruiter.

In retrospect, it doesn't look like Brewster's departure will play a huge role. Three players he committed to Texas A&M are Brock 4-star tight end Baylor Cupp, Converse Judson 4-star defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal and Dickinson 3-star tight end Jalen Wydermyer.

Cupp and Leal are still committed. Leal said Brewster's news didn't affect his decision. Cupp had a successful in-home visit with Jimbo Fisher on Wednesday. And Wydermyer is looking forward to an official visit weekend beginning in a few hours.

Brewster's departure was big, but fortunately for the Aggies, it doesn't seem like the news will play a major factor in current recruiting for the program. 

LANDING OUT-OF-STATE PICKUPS

New York defensive end Adisa Isaac. Mississippi's Nakobe Dean. Louisiana's Ishmael Sopsher. Florida's Derick Hunter.

There are a ton of solid out-of-state prospects strongly considering Texas A&M right now -- but "strongly considering" and "choosing" are miles apart as the early signing period rapidly approaches. The next few days will see an Aggies coaching staff already with a bulldog mentality ramp up its recruiting tactics in order to finalize a very solid 2019 class.

All of the aforementioned are athletes who may end up elsewhere, but one guy to keep an eye on is Atlanta linebacker Nick Jackson. While he is currently committed to Virginia, he's had multiple conversations with GigEm247 about his respect for Jimbo Fisher and how much he likes Texas A&M. Jackson isn't expected to sign early, but this could be an advantage for the Aggies in finalizing the class.

HOLDING ON TO 'SCOOBY'

Louisiana 4-star linebacker Christian Harris decommitting then choosing Alabama was a blow for Texas A&M, and the Aggies want to make sure lightning doesn't strike twice, so to speak. The Aggies have another 4-star athlete the Crimson Tide are very high on.

Mansfield Legacy cornerback Jeffery "Scooby" Carter is a Texas A&M commit who will be an early signee -- but will the Aggies hold on to him, or will Alabama pull him away? This has been a big question for weeks now, as he has legitimate interest in both programs. Since committing to the Aggies on July 28, Carter hasn't shut the door on the Crimson Tide; in fact, he has made a recent unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa, and he will return to the campus the weekend of Dec. 7 for an official visit.

Carter is a huge piece to the puzzle that makes up Texas A&M's star-studded secondary class -- which arguably is the best 2019 defensive backs class in the country. He will be a huge land when he signs. Whether he'll wear Aggie maroon or Alabama crimson is still to be determined.

WHICH COMMITS WON'T SIGN EARLY?

Most of the 23 Texas A&M commits have agreed to sign their respective national letter of intent during the early signing period -- and that's good news. There are some names, however, to keep an eye on.

Katy Taylor 4-star defensive end Braedon Mowry, A&M Consolidated 4-star defensive tackle Josh Ellison, Manvel 3-star offensive lineman Layden Robinson and Tallahassee, Florida, 3-star linebacker Tarian Lee Jr. all have entertained the idea of taking advantage of early signing period, but none of the four have officially confirmed the idea. That's not to say it won't happen; that is to say, however, that they will be monitored.

The good news is that, whether they sign during the early period or the regular period, they're all firm with their pledges with the Aggies.

If some of these don't sign early, they might have qualification issues
