What is the consensus about Aggie recruiting so far? It looks like Elko is doing pretty well. I looked at 247 (that's not an endorsement. IDK what you think of it.), to get an idea of where they stand:

I've heard doubts raised about some of these guys, but what do y'all think overall?

They generally have quality classes, but they are not going to be getting elite talent. From who they have in the class so far, it would be the tier 2 or even tier 3 on our boards. I have no idea how their QB is considered a 5 star. His mechanics are sloppy, he doesn't have a great arm, but he has a bit of gamesmanship and sees the field pretty well.

I think Fasusi and Haywood are the only elite guys they are in on beyond what they have committed. They will get decent guys, some that we would want in our class. But I don't see them making a push for a top 5 class. Somewhere around #10 seems about right.

Look out, aggy ranking up there with Purdue. Good thing they can party better than Baylor:

aggy looks to be a better fit for the BXII than the SEC

Is aggy the only SEC school that isn't on the right half of good party schools?

Well Stanford won it damn near every year that Texas didn’t and they are barely inside the top 20.

Reportedly we're taking 2 TE's. Jordan Washington already committed and Michael Terry (SWITCHBLADE) reportedly had a great visit last weekend.

Expand  

Uh Washington was a 2024. He's already on campus. We have Emaree Winston committed but it seems like there might be a mutual parting of ways there. IIRC we had Armstrong and Nick Townsend above him.

If anyone should know not to associate with TAMU types, it should be a kid like this from Jasper.  SMH.  Have fun with the Sully-lovers.

aggy sells the rural, country bullshit well to kids from small towns. They probably figure out College Station is just another suburb within a month after enrolling.

Oh, I get the rural, pseudo-conservative stuff. But a kid like this from Jasper should be acutely aware of the not-so-subtle theme that pulses through the veins of Sully-worshipping TAMU. Even if James Byrd’s dragging death was before this kid was born, it’s not the kind of thing that the community forgets.

Oh I caught your meaning. But I doubt many croots associate aggy with racism.

Even after all these years, I still get disgusted, angry and nauseous reading about Mr. Byrds murder.

My recollection is that the national news media descended on Jasper looking for a racist town like the bad ol' days in Mississippi.

They found the whole town was mortified by the killing which was done by two criminal outsiders. I don't know what day-to-day life is like for the races in Jasper, but on this occasion there was unity rather than discord.

It is a horrible murder.

Pretty much this. I went to UT with a handful of kids from Jasper. They never mentioned Byrd and I didn’t ask. Their chief complaints about the town were that there was nothing to do and the high school wasn’t very good. The UT smart kids all went to Newton.

It’s not small town Mississippi, but it feels a hell of a lot further from Houston than it should.

I'm sure the vast majority of folks in Jasper are really good people, no sarcasm.  After living in EXT for the last 4 years, I am also sure that there are a non-trivial number of racist dbags.  And if any of them are inclined to support a college sports program, it is TAMU.

Pettijohn's mom, who was with him in Austin, is not planning to accompany him to Collie Station. That's "if" the visit happens.

Not sure if I missed it in this thread but at least a couple other car dealers joined the Lamborghini welcoming line-up - Porsche and Mercedes vehicle(s) were also on-hand.

The above per someone with 247.

The always gong ho Justin Wells states something similar in a recent national On3 podcast. He expects Pettijohn to visit aggy, but mom won’t be there.
