Is McCollum injured?  I mean, he's a JAG, but Chibuzo running out to start the year would be awful.  They better hope Carson Green or even Dan Moore doesn't get injured.  Both are just average, but it'd be bad if one of those go down.

Sounds like McCollum might be injured based on this thread.

I think aggy’s right on this one. Why take soft Texas football players when you can go to New Jersey, Florida, and California and pay overrated recruits who peaked in their sophomore year of HS to come to College Station (until they find a better offer)?

aggy and the recruiting services are both circling around the problem but missing the actual issue. 

Texas players aren't soft. The style of football is not so ubiquitous that it creates a vacuum of defensive talent that can only be solved by kids from Jersey. 

The issue is that you have to be much more aware of upside and doing more complete evaluations. The Texas kids (and when I say this, you can add most of the Cali and suburban Georgia kids as well) have played A TON more football than those kids from the NE corridor. Tens-of-thousands more reps against other players that have played 1,000s more reps. Texas HS QBs are ready to play so much earlier than other QBs because they've seen more complex defenses and run more complex offenses than their counterparts. Coaches don't have to spend valuable practice time teaching common route trees in Texas. The kids have run them all and can also read combo coverages when they come in to high school as 9th graders. The Texas coaches don't have to spend near as much time teaching hand-fighting on the LOS - because the kids do it with their trainers. On and on.  

It does create a plethora of guys in each class that are physically maxed out, or close to it, but are really good at football. Guys that have really good film and have played a crapton of football. These are guys that can be over-rated but can also help your team and provide quality depth. They ARE better football players because they have put their Gladwell 10k hours in. The downside is that if they end up long-term multi-year starters you will lack athleticism. (see Brian Williams, the Green bros, Stripling) 

the 9.95ers aren't adjusting to these guys and are super reluctant to drop guys that were rated high early, because of their early varsity productivity as FR/SO but who are clearly maxed out. aggy has signed numerous guys that simply don't have the athletic profile of a plus NCAA/NFL athlete. Luke Matthews isn't soft - he is athletically limited. You could see that in every setting where he played against D1 talent, on film and in camps. Max Wright had bad knees at 17, signing him and then adding a bunch of weight doesn't mean Texas players are soft. It means that they did a poor eval. RJ Orebo weighed 11 pounds at 6'9" -- he's not indicative of Texas players being soft. He's indicative of a terrible eval. Going to get Adarious Jones didn't press the magic "now we're physical" at DT button. Do you honestly want to compare him to T'Vondre Sweat and talk about physical presence? 
 

It's the fucking evals. There are Texas kids playing defense all across the country and they are fucking good. That take is lazy and stupid.

Yeah, tons of good players still exist all over the state, but identifying them has become a lot trickier. Texas HS’s repping 7 on 7s and generally starting earlier and being much more advanced in terms of training, facilities, systems, etc. have led to a lot of maxed out TX kids getting overrated (Hi Brian Williams!), and quite frankly, neither UT or A&M have done a good job avoiding those pitfalls over the last ten years. I think Herman and Co. have been doing good work in this area since he got here.

But still, paying overrated OOS mercenaries who peaked early clearly isn’t the answer, but I’m happy Jimbo can’t figure that out and is willing to decrease our in-state competition in the process.

"Tight end

A&M's personnel is now much more restricted at the position than it was just over a week ago which means that you'll probably be seeing fewer 12 personnel groupings than what fans originally hoped for. However, this means even more playing time for sophomore Jalen Wydermyer which is a good thing. With him on the field, A&M now has far better ability to get downfield in the passing game and generate big plays after the catch. Nonetheless, the Aggies have to be more flexible in their personnel groupings which means more of what we saw last season (11 personnel and 10 personnel with Wydermyer in the slot). There's also still no talk right now of moving Fadil Diggs from defensive end to this side of the ball because A&M should be able to work around what's going at this position via Wydermyer as well as the personnel they have elsewhere."

MJ Daniels 6'3" WR/CB - sets his decision date. ::

 

Quote

 

https://247sports.com/Player/MJ-Daniels-46094154/

Lucedale (Miss.) George County defensive back MJ Daniels had once thought he knew where he would be playing his college football. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound defender had committed to in-state Ole Miss last November. However, other schools did not stop their recruitment of him.

In early June, Daniels decided to decommit from the Rebels. He began talking to more schools in earnest and, a few weeks ago, announced a final four group of schools he was considering. Including in that final four were Georgia, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

Now, he is ready to make a decision once again. On Wednesday, Daniels said he plans to commit this coming Friday, Sep. 11.

Daniels, who is ranked as an athlete, is being recruited to A&M to play cornerback, though he could also see time at safety as well. His cousin and former high school teammate, defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson, was a national top-50 prospect in the class of 2020 that signed with the Aggies and is currently going through fall camp with the team.

Currently there are no Crystal Ball predictions for the standout athlete. However, both A&M and Mississippi State seem to be the two schools in the best shape at the moment.

Daniels plays both ways for George County but pretty much every school sees him on defense at the next level. He recorded 39 tackles, four tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and four interceptions - three of which he returned for touchdowns - as a junior last season.

Lucedale (Miss.) George County Top247 cornerback MJ Daniels says he'll announce his college decision Friday.

"Mississippi State or Arkansas," he tells 247Sports. "There’s a great chance that I can come in and start as a freshman and I’m very comfortable with either school."

When arky, msu, and miss get to the point where they have similar talent levels to aggy (msu has been close and has beaten aggy plenty) that’s when the perpetual 3-4 conference win seasons start for aggy, with the occasional 5-3 outlier. Hope it can happen starting with the 22 season.

He's intriguing at safety but there are some others that are as well.

It's funny how certain memories just stick. One of those for me is them penciling in Sweat to their class early, early the fuck on, to the point they were already talking about how wildly underrated and the typical BOMC bullshit. And even we were shocked when he committed to us. Well, turns out he never really got that BOMC bump, but they were right with how fucking awesome Sweat was as a recruit. Maybe that will be some level of consolation they can wrap themselves to keep the bitter cold of their failure at bay.

My fear: he's going to end up at Bama and run for roughly 4 billion yards. They've started the dreaded Saban Facetime routine.

Yes, this is a higher top speed than Camar Wheaton reached in his examples from RA -- except that McCaskill will easily carry 235 pounds in college and is already a lean 215.
