No.  Don't think do.  Even Texags don't really know why he's leaving.  I'm sure we will find out though.

It's not some big fucking mystery.  We've seen that Jimbo will put up with selfish shit if a guy can win the Heisman.  Leon is a dude who got beat constantly, because he's slow as shit and he's undisciplined (great combo for a safety), has been passed up by younger guys, and is a fucking headcase who has quit on the team at least once.  Jimbo (hell, any coach) isn't going to put up with selfish shit from an upperclassman who's not a starter.  Leon got told to find another program if he was expecting playing time.  And Leon needs playing time to become a 1st round draft pick like he knows he is.

They allegedly didn’t want him to leave though. Brian Williams is a dirtier but less vocal version of O’Neal, so it’s not a great situation for them either way. 

I cannot wait for this guy to land somewhere else. He will end up talking constant shit about ATM. Aggie fans will butt hurt in terrific ways.

Thought they were having to clear some decks for their oversigned class so this helps, I guess.

Someone please preserve this article for posterity the next time one of those sheep-humpers spouts off about how great their fanbase is.

Favorite portions include:  

LSU players and coaches remember A&M fans threw nuts and bolts and dimes and nickels at players. They stood on LSU’s dugout and dumped Coke and beer on those who exited and entered.

In left field, fans took rocks from the nearby railroad tracks and slung them into the LSU bullpen.

. . .

 

“People were following us in cars and flipping us off,” Davis said.

. . .

 

 

Texas law enforcement officials guarded those LSU fans who had made the trip, ushering them onto the field to celebrate with the team and then escorting them to their vehicles after A&M fans had left the park.

“It was a little scary getting out of there,” said Alex Wall, a retired city court judge whose son was on the team. “I can remember them throwing rocks on us and spitting on us.”

“This move really shows how dynamic Jimbo is as a recruiter. Leon was the greatest safety prospect of all-time and Jimbo was able to land him. Then within two years of landing on campus, the best safety in college football can’t even crack the two-deep in Jimbo’s vaunted secondary. If that’s not real recruiting, I don’t know what is” /Looch
 
You can't make this shit up. From the texags thread on O'neal:

Let me help your reading comprehension. Just because something wasn't expected or desired does not mean it's bad. In fact, when you are recruiting the way Jimbo and Co have been in the last two years, there is a good possibility the program will be in better hands.

So is Texag7 Figurelli?  Someone asked if he was re-accepted to grad school after racist tweets were outed.  I guess that could be more than 1 guy, there.

 

Also, @RandoIph Duke why aren't you on there?  Oldschoolhorn was entirely too concise to be trying to dunk on them/annoy them...

Looks like Brent Z. beat Looch to the (koolaid) punch:

Recruiting DBs a Fisher specialty, perhaps why Leon O’Neal is exiting

Brent Zwerneman , Houston Chronicle Feb. 28, 2020

 

COLLEGE STATION – Safety Leon O’Neal always seemed so happy and sassy at Texas A&M, at least based on his social media posts. O’Neal announced via that platform on Thursday night that he intends to exit the Aggies, entering his junior season.

“I want to thank Texas A&M for everything,” O’Neal posted to Twitter. “Every game was one I’ll never forget. Win, lose or draw, the 12th Man never lost (its) spirit. I want to thank my brothers for the love and support. Our bond will last forever.

“I have now placed myself in the transfer portal.”

When his football days are done, O’Neal needs to consider public relations. Talk about getting out ahead of an uncomfortable subject. The announcement came as a surprise to most outside the Bright Football Complex, but truth is third-year coach Jimbo Fisher has loaded up on defensive backs in his short time at A&M.

Keeping in mind entering the NCAA transfer portal doesn’t always mean a transfer (with A&M tight end Glenn Beal as Exhibit A over the holidays). But it probably does.

Since that time Fisher has hauled in a slew of highly-recruited defensive backs, including four-star signees Demani Richardson (who started in 2019), Erick Young and Brian Williams in the class of 2019, and five-star Jaylon Jones and four-stars Antonio Johnson and Joshuah Moten in the class of 2020.

While some of those additions are cornerbacks, the positions have at times been interchangeable, especially if a coach is trying to get more speed on the field in situations.

In addition, O’Neal was listed as a co-starter with soon-to-be-senior Keldrick Carper at the tail end of last season, and the coaches are confident Carper can spend plenty of time on the field if needed. He’s also one of the clear-cut team leaders.

O’Neal, who on Feb. 21 declared “I’m the best safety in the country” via Twitter, might not have been on the field as much in 2020 with so much competition. He recruited like crazy via social media and other means to his own class and then future classes, so Aggies should appreciate those efforts no matter his destination.

In the end a program will get a witty player best known for his zingers off the field, although he wound up with 55 tackles and two interceptions over two seasons.

One of y’all should definitely screen shot those posts connecting that username to Figurelli. Odds are high he’ll say some stuff that allows Surly to get him fired and make him change his name a second time.

They left out the key detail that the the LSU fans had gotten lost on the way to Ace Hardware. The best fans in college baseball were trying to save the visitors a trip, as good aggys always do.

Man texags is always good for some late night comedy.  How do some of these regards function in real life?

Thread about Bama dynasty ending and Saban getting ready for pasture, and then there's quotes like this:

"Dabo is not leaving when mama calls. He has a gravy train in the ACC.

He is not about to venture to the deep end and big boy football."

I find this hard to believe. who brings nuts and bolts to a college football game? did the a/c work in the locker room?

having said that, fuck aggy.

So, when is aggy going to start playing “big boy football”?

aggy engineer: What are nuts and bolts?

I don't know why this reminds me of an old USA/USSR joke, but:

The athletic training staffs of Texas and Texas A&M got together for dinner one night and they were bragging about their training and nutritional excellence. 

Aggie: "Our kids get a diet of 2,000 calories a day!"

Longhorn: "Ours are on a 3,000 calorie-per-day diet."

Aggie: "Oh bullshit, no one can eat an entire sack of potatoes in one day."

that trumps El Tri fans in the US.  i've been in person for the urine bags at the Rose Bowl and Meadowlands.

i was not there but know people who experienced coins at Saprissa in '00 and '01.

at Azteca beer and food/trash raining down on the sammers in pretty much every visit since '01.  but not urine or coins.

nuts and bolts?

damn.  that's up there with Boca Juniors / River Plate in the 80s (confirmed razor blades)
