Vaka's composite is now below .9000 after the Rivals drop kicked in.  May be a 3* composite in the end.

this year, with no spring/summer camps, this is going to be a lot of spitballing-- more than the usual amount in any case. So, time to judge this year's recruits will likely be 2 or 3 years hence... although yes, star-studded classes do look nicer. But I think I don't mind trusting the evals of the current A&M DL coaching staff, tbh.  They've missed a pure pass rusher but got at least two really good ones in the last class, which was Jimbo's first; the got Isaiah Martin in the one before-- he played basketball as well in high school in Cali, so you would think he is super athletic; maybe he will yet find his way to contribute more.

Last week I wrote that Aggie fans should expect a few somewhat surprising commitments - at least as far as timing was concerned - due to the fact that it was determined that college programs couldn't host recruits for on-campus visits until at least August and probably September due to the ongoing shutdown. As it turns out, the Aggies benefited from one such decision today, when Magnolia offensive lineman Matthew Wykoff decided to shut it down in favor of the SEC program about an hour up the road.

The 6-5, 305-pounder had always held the Aggies in high regard and was elated when he spoke to TexAgs immediately after picking up the offer he always wanted at the Aggies' Super Bowl party in February. On Monday, Wykoff returned the favor, delivering some good news of his own to Jimbo Fisher and A&M OL coach Josh Henson. Matthew chose the Ags over offers from a host of power programs, including the likes of USC, Notre Dame, Penn State, Auburn, Arizona State, Texas, TCU, Tennessee and Stanford. The reason Wykoff generated so much buzz has to do with the fact that the tackle checks just about all the boxes. He stands a hulking 6-5 and is already well over 300 pounds with a full year until he steps foot on a college campus, is a very good athlete who was at one point a varsity starter for Magnolia at tight end. The newest Aggie is also as strong as an ox (he's already power cleaning over 300 pounds) and an exceptional student - both in the classroom and on the field, where the ability to pick up a blocking scheme and read a defensive front makes an OL worth his weight in gold.  

Another trait coveted in a blue-chip offensive line prospect is versatility. Matthew possesses that in spades. He's a natural tackle who has combination of size, smarts, athleticism and skill to play pretty much anywhere along the line. The interesting thing here is that I don't think Wykoff is close to done growing...he'll soon be a 6-6, 325-pound tackle who could also excel inside or even at center. In other words, this is an addition to Henson's OL room who is going to find his way onto the field and who is built for the SEC trenches. Give this young man a year in Jerry Schmidt's weight room to work on his power, explosion and pop and he's a guy capable of manhandling opposing pass rushers and moving bodies in the run game (yes, even in the rugged SEC West).

This was an offer I was pretty fired up about when Fisher and the Aggies extended it in early February because Matthew Wykoff landed in that intersection of need, talent and perfect fit (for prospect and school alike). He's also the Ags' second straight addition from the Houston area and third from The H in the '21 class (Katy TE Fernando Garzaand North Shore game-breaker Shadrach Banks), where Fisher and Co. hope to eventually add a couple of other blue-chip blockers and coveted tailback LJ Johnson Jr

Wykoff becomes the Ags' ninth commit in the Class of 2021 and is Henson's second o-line pledge. The expectation here is that the haul in the trenches will eventually reach five. Landing early commits from blockers the caliber of Wykoff and Trey Zuhn is significant on multiple fronts. First, the Ags now have pledges from two 300-pounders who held offers from the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, OU, Penn State, Ohio State, USC, Texas, Notre Dame, Auburn and several others. In other words, dudes who were coveted by power programs from coast to coast. Second, the two big men will serve as the foundation of what may very well end up being exactly the type of class Jimbo Fisher and his staff aimed to sign entering the '21 cycle.  

Zuhn was one of the Ags' first two 2021 commits and Wykoff is now officially in the boat. Up next? The Aggies are fighting tooth and nail against the LSU Tigers for 6-8 tackle Reuben Fatheree and are planning to trade punches with the Bayou Bengals, Oklahoma Sooners, Oregon Ducks and Texas Longhorns (and whoever else remains in the fray) for five-star guard Bryce Foster. There's been some buzz coming out of Baton Rouge in regards to Fatheree, but the Ags are still sitting in a very good position for the state top-15 talent. He's one who could reach a final decision sometime in the next month or so. Landing Matthew Wykoff was a big piece of the OL puzzle, and the Aggies hope he's one of three or perhaps even four Lone Star linemen to eventually ink with TAMU.

A commitment to be pretty fired up about if you're an A&M fan. Wykoff loved the Ags from very early in the process, picked up some really impressive offers along the way, was a coveted prospect at a need position and Fisher, Henson and the staff did a great job of making sure that they didn't let a really good one get out of their backyard.

Which piece of bread is he bellyaching about?

Wykoff. It's in the midst of his other tweets about him ...

I thought the offer to @WykoffMatthew was a big one back in February and he was a guy the Ags had to land. A versatile, smart and very athletic 6-5, 305-pounder who has made tremendous strides as an OL since moving from TE. Finalists included Texas, Penn St, Auburn, ASU, TT.

listening to the 247 recruiting pod with Powers and Angulo..  LJ Johnson was brought up and Fong says he thinks he goes to aggy.  They also talked a bit about Shemar Turner, they didn't project where he would land but saying his stock is rising high.

Nahlin will melt down again when Turner goes elsewhere

Turner doesn't seem to be leaning anywhere in particular and all the DFW defensive guys (Blackwell/Coffey(🤞)/Ish (🤞🤞🤞)) will hopefully work on him. I'm not hopeless about him yet.

Gotta be that 3-star future All-Pro they just landed.

Have they ever signed an actual three star? I know most of the ones they sign are really high 4 or 5 stars that the pro-sip recruiting sites criminally rank to low. Got me wondering if they've ever had to actually settle on a true 3 star signee. I can't name any off the top of my head.

From Mike at night

—247Sports' Steve Wiltfong reported earlier today that he was hearing Alabama held the edge for four-star DeSoto DL Shemar Turner. Oklahoma, LSU and Texas are also in the mix right now according to a source I spoke with in DeSoto earlier today. This source stressed that Oscar Giles is doing an awesome job for Texas and they are staying in the race right now because of the relationship Giles forged with the family. Turner and his family have also talked some about Turner playing with Jordon Thomas who he hit it off with early in his recruitment following a visit to Texas. The biggest hurdle is Turner's desire to play in the SEC which is why LSU and Alabama are standing out.

 

Hilarious that aggy isnt even mentioned after all that looch chest beating and goal post moving of him being the only SEC ready DL in Texas after missing on everyone

I heard aggy is going toe to toe, and trading punches with Saban.

This is the ultimate goal of Aggy moving to SEC. No doubt they can hurt UT recruiting with the SEC bullshit, it just usually pushes these guys to Alabama and LSU whom then go on to punish Aggy every year in conference play.

His lists are pretty terrible, as y’all all know.  This one seems particularly shitty.  Stowers has no business where he’s at, and their stud receiver is rapidly growing into a running back. Then...blanks. 

Banks is a LB. Shit, Perroni was saying that 2 years ago. Full disclosure, I thought Perroni was foolish with that projection, but it appears he was correct.
