Donovan McMillon Fong'd to Florida.  Who's up next on the Safety list?

Well, the positive is that the safety write up has already been typed so that all they need to do is insert a new name.

I don't know what's funnier about this - the idea that Seegars is so good that they don't need these other guys that are committing elsewhere, or the fact that even Perroni has forgotten than Phillips III is in this class as well.

That would make Phillips criminally underrated even by aggy, which is home to criminally underrated recruits.  They're the statue of liberty of college football--bring them your tired, your low stars, your huddled masses yearning for more bags, the wretched underrated of your northeastern shore, send these, the under appreciated, cubes-tost to me, we'll promise to corch them up and then promptly forget about 'em.

Who is Phillips? I don’t see him listed in their class.

Also, fucking lol at Vaca dropping like a, well, a 360 lb HS defensive tackle should, in the rankings. He’s solidly down into 3 star range and will keep dropping.

 That Norwood kid they got is the same way. He was a borderline top 100 recruit early in the process and he’s already fallen out of the top 250 one year later. I’m sure the decline will continue and aggy will hold a protest on their campus with #MaroonRankingsMatter signs all over the place.

Tarp with a gem in the thread entitled "Which of A&M's 2021 cornerback commits will play first?"

Finally, Norwood has excellent change of direction and balance as he doesn't slow down after making a cut when playing quarterback for his high school team.

4.4 shuttle.

FWIW - Imart has also been posting about how incredible Dametrious Crownover's highlights are. Over and over and over. He's been telling them that anyone that doesn't want him doesn't know what to look for in film. Questions about his invisibility during the title game go unanswered and when pushed about what position Imart projects him to at the next level --- there's also radio silence. It's clear between the brother and girlfriend at aggy that Crownover was never going anywhere else. It's also pretty clear that he gave them a silent a while back and that's why Imart has been at work on this one. There's going to be a lot of aggy that are gonna have to walk back shitting all over him for the past few months. That or they are going to own it and be pissed when he commits. Win/win for this thread, honestly.

I told my buddy from Grandview that he looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.  Got no argument from him.

Even if Dametrious is a decent prospect it still made no sense to take his brother to land a recruit of his caliber.

That's just dumb roster management. 

People are failing to mention another reason they took the JUCO brother is because their RB depth chart is complete dog shit with only 1 returning player. They’re probably going to need the brother to take quite a few carries this year.

Smell that, Brick?  It's the powerful and obnoxious odor of desperation.  There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of desperation.  You can smell it.  It smells like death.

Olin Buchanan on why the shortened season should help aggy

Shortened 2020 schedule could enhance Aggies' hopes for a special season

By Olin BuchananJuly 13, 2020

Well before COVID-19 was part of the everyday dialogue — indeed, even before COVID-19 existed — the 2020 college football season was expected to be special for Texas A&M.

But then the Big Ten and Pac-12 announced the cancelation of non-conference games. The Big 12, ACC and the SEC are expected to soon follow that trend.

However, a reduced schedule may actually enhance A&M’s title aspirations.

The Aggies return eight starters on offense, including senior quarterback Kellen Mond. The defense — which was ranked among the nation’s Top 30 in 2019 — brings back even more experience.

The treacherous, unforgiving schedule of 2019 — in which the Aggies set a record by facing three top-ranked opponents — eased significantly. Road games against powerhouses Clemson and Georgia were supposed to be replaced by home games against struggling Colorado and Vanderbilt. Texas A&M’s Sept. 19 contest against Colorado was canceled last week.

Furthermore, several A&M opponents are entering the 2020 season with new coaches, new quarterbacks or both. Others have to substantially rebuild offensive lines or defenses.

All the factors seemed to be in place to allow the Aggies to emerge as bona fide contenders in the SEC West, which equates to bona fide contenders for the SEC championship, which equates to bona fide contenders for the national title.


Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports
It’s possible that Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M could benefit from a shortened season.
That won’t change.

Indeed, a shortened schedule may actually benefit A&M. The Aggies are the SEC’s most experienced team. Therefore, they don’t figure to need as much time to iron out wrinkles as many of their opponents.

If the SEC omits non-conference games, the Aggies will open against Arkansas, which will be the Razorbacks’ first game under coach Sam Pittman and with new quarterback Feleipe Franks. The perennially-rebuilding Razorbacks might also have several starters making their major collegiate debut.

Next, A&M would face Mississippi State. That will be Bulldogs’ quarterback K.J. Costello’s second game running Mike Leach’s system. Mississippi State will also be in the process of rebuilding its defense and offensive line.

The Aggies’ third conference game is against Auburn, who must replace four starters along the offensive line and bolster its defense.

Cohesion is a significant factor in successful offensive line play. Auburn will have played three SEC opponents before A&M. Will that be enough to acquire sufficient cohesion in the offensive line, particularly against a solid A&M defensive front?

Maybe. But it’s a valid question.

A&M’s next three opponents would be South Carolina, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. Those teams combined for 11 victories in 2019, and in 2020, they don’t project to be much better. Vanderbilt and South Carolina could be worse, while Ole Miss is in its first season under coach Lane Kiffin.


TexAgs
A&M’s Nov. 21 date against Alabama is when the Aggies’ schedule really gets tough.
The Aggies close against powerhouses Alabama and LSU. A&M’s championship hopes always have and always will hinge on beating those teams.

Although the Crimson Tide and Bayou Bengals both have significant holes to fill — particularly at quarterback — they will likely find solutions to their issues before the Aggies face them late in the season. That’s still the case.

But they would have four fewer games to develop their quarterbacks and replace other holes.

That might not seem like much, but the Aggies will take any edge they can get against Alabama and LSU.

Nothing is assured, of course. Teams still have to play at a high level against rivals. Upsets must be avoided.

If the Aggies capitalize on their edge in experience, the 2020 football season could be extra special

Well if academics are what matter most to their family, UF is a much better choice than Aggy.

Fong's CB percentage on predictions of serious aggy targets going to other schools has to be pretty much 100%, right?  Didn't Hamm have a crazy high percentage on those types of picks too, or at least just when he predicted them to UT? lulz

@Fud and others that have discussed Aggie roster numbers ...

The original question has a wrong assumption. I believe you don't have to cut down to 85 until the first day of fall camp practices, and they're still in the summer workout phase I think

And that tissue-paper Okie Lite defense held aggy six points under their season average in the bowl game.  If OSU had its starting QB in that game, there's a good chance the Mullet walks away with a victory.  

No Tylan Wallace either

If the Mullet had used is running back in that game the way he did all season, he would have walked away with a win.
