I imagine it is culture shock going from PA to shitty station. Will be interesting to see how many of these NE guys actually go to aggy and stay at aggy for 4 years.

Yeah. I get the idea of recruiting in less competitive regions, but it really puts more pressure on you to keep everyone focused and happy. Hard thing to do these days.

Center City and the historic and/or gentrified neighborhoods are great, but the bad Philly neighborhoods/suburbs (especially Camden) are some real post-industrial wasteland shit. A lot of these guys are probably pretty happy to get out one way or the other.

Yeah, but moving 1500 miles away from your support system at 18 doesn't always lead to steady growth.

These East Coast guys need the money and because they aren’t from the Southwest they don’t realize what a backwards school it is. They see Jimbo and Myles Garrett and assume it must be fine. Little did they know...

Aggy bought another east coast mercenary. Shocking

Expand  

It actually is surprising that they bought him away from Georgia. The Georgia boards seem to think that Georgia wanted to keep him.

Yeah, well said. There's no "rust belt" identity to it either. It's just shit.

Man, I was a bit worried about our WR inexperience after losing Duvernay and Johnson. I’d be very nervous if I were them.

Expand  

I wasn't worried about our WR inexperience with Sam getting the new guys the ball.  I would be worried about my WR inexperience if I had to rely on Mond getting them the ball.   OLine concerns in giving both QBs time is a bigger concern.  But I don't think Sam needs as much time as Mond does to process the open receivers.

A&M recruiting so many guys from the east coast is so weird. Nothing against the players, but the whole concept just sounds like a joke. Neither party has any understanding of the other.

Expand  

That's why these players are willing to go there.  All the in state guys are getting a first hand view of the crazy that is College Station.

What you have identified there is not a bug, but rather the strategy.   If any black kid had an understanding of A&M, do you think they'd choose to go there?  Trust in Jimbah.

If Georgia wants to keep him, they will match. Of course, Aggy could be going over the top and Georgia doesn't see the ROI in matching.

Isn't there some honor among thieves gentleman's agreement in the SEC?  Love to see the nouvea riche ags served up to the NCAA by the SEC blue bloods.

That agreement probably doesn't cover kids from outside of SEC country

A lot of people love to target us on social media or elsewhere because they're not us. It's that simple and, yes, this is a direct shot at the folks who spend way too much of their time trying to make us look bad, belittle what we're doing and flat out targeting the product thousands and thousands of Aggies have loved and still love and care about deeply.

Indeed it was kool aid deluge but the thing that stood out to me, other than the expected over-the-top Loochness, was the number of injured guys. LOTS of guys that “missed some time”. Especially funny when at the same time they “clearly improved over last season” (as well stronger/faster) but also missed several days or more to injury.

If the aggy offense is scoring at will against the defense then what is Bama', Florida, Auburn, Leech, ect. going to do?

Expand  

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?  The aggy defense is looking incredible!  The aggy offense is looking incredible!  They're both looking incredible, even though they're playing against each other!

Why in the world would any aggy pay for this shit? 

You can't even figure out what the depth chart is going to look like because Liucci thinks 3rd stringers are All-Americans.
