Jimbo 2021: Meemaw's Got a Brand New Bag

tu media are such sunshine pumpers. Not like the straight shooters at gigem247. Also the reason the aggy staff is only after LJ is clearly that they like him better and not that Wheaton won't talk to them.

Stupid sips. Jimbo runs a real NFL offense not that BDF bullshit.  It's a hand in the dirt, FB, 2 TE offense. Just like the *checks notes* Super Bowl Champion, uhhhh Kansas City Chiefs and their *checks notes one more time* college style spread offense led by Super Bowl MVP and BDF-tested QB Patrick Mahomes. 

Stupid sips.

Seriously, recruiting rankings are a ****** crapshoot and the tu sites don't realize what they set their fans and team up for: annual disappointment.

I'm not even going to start in about the absurdity of the Chinpubes 40 relative to aggy expectations, and I'm sure our numbers are equally as horribad, but no aggy should ever be talking shit about recruiting rankings and annual disappointment.

Aggy 4 year average recruiting rankings (e.g. for 2020 would be average of 2017-2020) vs. Final AP poll finish since joining SEC.

Hilarious talking about staff overhaul.

Jerry Montgomery - 2 weeks

Jim Turner - 1 year

Tim Brewster - 1 year

Joe Jon Finley - 1 year

Bradley Dale Peveto - run off after 2 years

Jay Graham - run off after 2 years

Maurice Linquist - 2 years

So that would be mean that only 3 coaches are still with Jimbo that he originally hired. Dickey only has a job because of his connection to his brother, it's Jimbo's offense and his work with the QBs.

Not too mention that the aggy faithful want to run off Henson as soon as possible, and the only reason they tolerate Price is he is an aggy, because Giles has whipped his ass in state the last 2 years.

He's posted in the past that the five (now two after Tank, Foster, and Beal are out) number included getting Crownover onto the fall camp roster. The number is 1 or 2 depending on Crownover. I'm not sure if Perroni actually has a staff source to know what their plan is regarding Crownover.

because in an effort to lift up several questionable takes - they downplayed the Texas OL class ad nauseam - the aggy reporters at both TexAgs and aggy247 went on and on about the lack of size in the Texas class compared to the aggy class. The lack of SEC size. So to them you compare the two classes h2h and ignore Jefferson. Akinola, Bankhead, and Chibuzo are simply SEC SIZE. Clearly better. It was beat into them for an entire cycle. There's no logical world where a 4 man class of Majors, Karic, Parr, and Garth is "awful" or even "average". 

they do this despite seeing Tank Jenkins, Barton Clement, et al flame out because they can't fucking move. These are EXACTLY the same type of guys that made such a fucking mess of the FSU OL. That fucking asshole Henson is trying to fix it. goddamn it.

Predicting how Texas A&M closes out the 2021 class

VIP ByBRIAN PERRONI 43 seconds ago

Texas A&M currently has 13 commitments in the class of 2021. Though that number is lower than many of its peers, the program is still in on a number of top prospects from both across the state and the country.

The Aggies have room for 10 more players in the class as two that were originally in the 2020 class – running back Earnest Crownover and linebacker Kenneth Phillips III â€“ will count toward this year’s 25-man limit.

Though things could change, especially as A&M figures out the exact numbers it wants at each position, the final picture of what the class could look like is becoming more clear.

Here is the best guess at the moment as to how things could end up come Signing Day.

RB LJ JOHNSON, HOUSTON CY-FAIR

 

9770133.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Brian Perroni, 247Sports)

 

LJ Johnson is the top between-the-tackles back on the A&M board and the Aggies are in good shape with the 5-foot-10, 205-pound national top-50 prospect.

Johnson has a top group of A&M, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma and Texas but the Aggies, Longhorns and both Tigers are the main players at the moment.

Texas is going all-out to land Johnson and the Horns have his attention but A&M has been very high in his mind for a long time and he likes what Fisher has done at the running back position over his career.

Johnson does not have a specific announcement date as he simply plans to make his decision once he knows for sure where he wants to go.

Should A&M start to not feel as great about landing Daniels, look for the Aggies to turn things up more in the recruitment of Byron Cardwell out of San Diego.

RB AMARI DANIELS, MIAMI (FLA.) CENTRAL

 

9681811.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports)

 

At one point, it looked like all-purpose back Amari Daniels was on the verge of a commitment to the Aggies. However, in-town Miami has made a big push as of late.

The 5-foot-8, 195-pounder has said he would like to make a decision before his senior season starts and it will come down to the Aggies and the Canes.

Daniels has been high on A&M since making a trip to Aggieland for camp last summer but Miami is landing a ton of homegrown talent, including five-star defensive tackle Leonard Taylor on Thursday.

Should Daniels opt to stay closer to home, Klein Forest four-star all-purpose back Ahmonte Watkins would be the next to watch.

WR TBD

 

JoJo Earle(Photo: Collin Kennedy, 247Sports)

 

A&M has one wide receiver committed in Shadrach Banks and wants to take a second in the class. It is not an absolute necessity with the young talent they have on campus, but it is something the offensive staff would like.

The question is then who it is likely to be but, right now, that is anybody’s guess. One thing that is clear, though is that they want a speedy wideout that can play either in the slot or outside.

Aledo four-star JoJo Earle is the top target but he is currently committed to LSU and has shown no signs of wavering. McKinney North’s JJ Henry is also a player that fits the mold and is being recruited heavily. He plays things close to the vest but seems to be higher on some other schools as of late.

Houston St. Thomas’ Cameron Bonner was recently offered and could very well end up in the class if he is pushed. A&M could also look at some of the ‘athlete’ offers like Yulkeith Brown out of Miami.

OG BRYCE FOSTER, KATY TAYLOR

 

9281649.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Brian Perroni, 247Sports)

 

A&M has three offensive line commitments at the moment with the number likely to be five by the time the class is wrapped up. The Aggies are going very tackle-heavy but Bryce Foster is the exception as they love him on the interior.

The 6-foot-4.5, 330-pound national top-100 prospect is a road-grader that is also one of the nation’s top track and field recruits. He plans to play football and throw in college.

Foster’s mother went to A&M and his older brother was a walk-on lineman for the Aggies. Foster has also been to College Station numerous times. Right now, though, Oklahoma is out front with Oregon also picking up some momentum.

Foster does not plan to announce until his 18th birthday, which is Dec. 18 and the final day of the Early Signing Period. The Aggies will have that time to continue selling the program familiarity but also to show him that the team has improved a ton with its play on the field this fall.

If Foster does not end up at A&M, there might not be an interior prospect signed in the class.

OT JAVONNE SHEPHERD, BUTLER (KAN.) C.C.

 

9450229.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Scott Wachter, USA TODAY Sports)

 

A&M wanted to sign Javonne Shepherd out of high school in the class of 2019 but the four-star from Houston North Forest chose Texas instead. However, after a semester in Austin, he decided to transfer.

Shepherd decided at that point that he would transfer to A&M but transcript issues forced him to go the junior college route and he arrived at Butler this spring.

A&M wants to see Shepherd in game action, since it has been awhile for him, but with the JUCO season having been pushed back to the spring and Shepherd set to graduate in December, it could get interesting. He might end up being a take regardless but, with no spring ball either, he could also opt to stay an extra semester and play the season.

If A&M does not end up with Shepherd, look for the Aggies to press current Arkansas commit Devon Manuel out of Louisiana even harder. They also could get Missouri pledge Connor Tollison on campus for an official visit.

DE/DT MARCUS BURRIS, TEXARKANA PLEASANT GROVE

 

Marcus Burris(Photo: @MarcusBurris8)

 

Defensive line recruiting this year is interesting in that the Aggies are after a number of players that could end up either at end or tackle. They have a commitment already from edge rusher Jahzion Harris but he could be the only true end in the class when it is done.

Marcus Burris was a longtime A&M lean before Oklahoma worked really hard this spring to change that. He was very close to committing to the Sooners, but decided to hold off. Now, the Aggies have worked their back into a tie at the top. Texas is also on his public top three but the Longhorns are not likely to land him.

The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defender could have a better future at tackle, even if he starts his career by staying at end. After a recent Achilles injury that will sideline him for his senior season, Burris’ recruitment has slowed a bit. However, he is still a player that A&M likes and it is beginning to look more and more like the Aggies will win out in the end. He wants to announce at some point in August.

DE/DT SHEMAR TURNER, DESOTO

 

9267695.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Brian Perroni, 247Sports)

 

Shemar Turner very well might be the top defensive lineman in the state in a year where it is absolutely loaded with good players. The 6-foot-3.5, 282-pounder is incredibly athletic for his size but is another player who’s future might be on the interior.

Turner has a top five of A&M, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Texas but the Aggies, Tide and Longhorns are the three main competitors. He really likes A&M defensive ends coach Terry Price and likes how the Aggies have shown him what the Aggie Network could possibly do to help him with the Name, Image and Likeness rule going into effect next season.

A&M is very much in this and some people close to Turner feel the Aggies could be in the best position. But, Texas and Alabama both have reasons for optimism too. This is going to be a tough battle that lasts until the end of the season but it’s a very real possibility he ends up in College Station.

DT TYWONE MALONE, BERGEN (N.J.) ORADELL CATHOLIC

 

Tywone Malone(Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports)

 

Tywone Malone would be an absolutely huge get for the Aggies if they were able to go into New Jersey and lure a player to Texas that every other school in the country is after.

The 6-foot-3.5, 300-pounder is ranked as the No. 53 prospect in the country and, though he has a top five, it is shaping up to be a battle between A&M and Ohio State.

Malone has built a very good relationship with his position coach Elijah Robinson, who hails from New Jersey himself, and really enjoyed Aggieland on a visit. But Ohio State is recruiting as well as anybody right now and has the distance advantage.

Still, A&M has as good or better a chance than the Buckeyes with him. Though you don’t see many baseball players his size, Malone is also a legitimate DI talent on the diamond as well and plans to play both sports in college. Playing SEC baseball is a draw for him as well.

DT TALEEQ ROBBINS, PHILADELPHIA (PA.) IMHOTEP

 

9755225.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: @LeeqRobbins11)

 

It is going to be interesting to see what the Aggies do at the defensive tackle position. If A&M lands all three players above, there might not be a need for another interior player as they also have Victory Vaka committed.

Still, the Aggies like Taleeq Robbins a lot and he also hails from Robinson’s recruiting territory. Robbins is close friends with A&M cornerback commit Tyreek Chappell and the two have long talked about playing together.

Robbins really wants to play in the SEC and A&M has long been seen as the most likely destination with Georgia and Ole Miss also up there. If A&M continues to push, he will likely be an Aggie. But, at this point, that is not a given.

No matter what, A&M is also going to keep recruiting five-star Katy Tompkins defensive end Tunmise Adeleye, a current Ohio State commit. He is still in talks with A&M, Alabama and Florida. The Aggies are also still in communication with three-star tackle Jerrell Boykins Jr. out of Louisiana as well. Four-star defensive end Monkell Goodwine from Virginia is a top target too but, at this point, looks likely to commit to Alabama when he announces next weekend.

CB/S MJ DANIELS, LUCEDALE (MISS.) GEORGE COUNTY

 

9463629.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320(Photo: Sun Herald)

 

A&M currently has an outstanding secondary class with a trio corners and a safety the Aggies absolutely love. Though there could potentially be six defensive backs signed, five is maybe a more likely number at this point.

MJ Daniels is a versatile defender who could play either cornerback or safety. The Aggies are recruiting the 6-foot-3, 185-pounder as a corner but the fact that he could play either makes him an even more valuable prospect.

A&M signed a teammate of Daniels in the 2020 class in top-50 defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson and he has been in the defensive back’s ear a lot. Daniels was once an Ole Miss commit and is still looking at the Rebels with fellow in-state program Mississippi State also making a push, but A&M is in good shape with him.

A&M will continue to recruit four-star safety Terrion Arnold out of Florida heavily. Tysheem Johnson out of Philadelphia and a potential junior college target are other options

Robbins really wants to play in the SEC and A&M has long been seen as the most likely destination with Georgia and Ole Miss also up there. If A&M continues to push, he will likely be an Aggie. But, at this point, that is not a given.

No matter what, A&M is also going to keep recruiting five-star Katy Tompkins defensive end Tunmise Adeleye, a current Ohio State commit. He is still in talks with A&M, Alabama and Florida. The Aggies are also still in communication with three-star tackle Jerrell Boykins Jr. out of Louisiana as well. Four-star defensive end Monkell Goodwine from Virginia is a top target too but, at this point, looks likely to commit to Alabama when he announces next weekend.

A&M currently has an outstanding secondary class with a trio corners and a safety the Aggies absolutely love. Though there could potentially be six defensive backs signed, five is maybe a more likely number at this point.

MJ Daniels is a versatile defender who could play either cornerback or safety. The Aggies are recruiting the 6-foot-3, 185-pounder as a corner but the fact that he could play either makes him an even more valuable prospect.

A&M signed a teammate of Daniels in the 2020 class in top-50 defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson and he has been in the defensive back’s ear a lot. Daniels was once an Ole Miss commit and is still looking at the Rebels with fellow in-state program Mississippi State also making a push, but A&M is in good shape with him.

A&M will continue to recruit four-star safety Terrion Arnold out of Florida heavily. Tysheem Johnson out of Philadelphia and a potential junior college target are other options

I read the LJ and JJ Henry bits as prepping for a let down. Encouraging on both fronts.

A&M wanted to sign Javonne Shepherd out of high school in the class of 2019 but the four-star from Houston North Forest chose Texas instead. However, after a semester in Austin, he decided to transfer.

Shepherd decided at that point that he would transfer to A&M but transcript issues forced him to go the junior college route and he arrived at Butler this spring.

 

Can earning a 0.0 GPA and getting a swift kick to the ass out of school really be construed as "deciding to transfer"?  I guess he decided to never do any work so...

Also, other than "owning tu" what exactly do they expect from that guy? He's already been a malcontent, not gone to class, and now with his weight loss - what is he gonna play? It sure as fuck isn't going to be OT. 

who am I kidding "owning tu" is enough.
