Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
How many guys do they have who would contribute at all on our team this year? The Shemars, Scourton, Anderson, probably Regis and *maybe* York, all at varying snap counts. On offense, maybe Moss, more so because of our injuries than his talent? They might have a dozen players who are at least decent P4 starters on the whole roster, and that's being generous. In any case, I'm glad that they think they are the 7th most talented team in the country because it will make this season that much more painful.

"see OU and Texas in the early 2000's." You don't say that two blue bloods can be good at the same time. The problem here is the same does not apply to the Aggies, who have been mediocre when we're successful and mediocre when we're bad.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Poll inertia is funny and I don't think most of the voters watch nearly as much football as the rest of us do. Why on earth should OU be ahead of Nebraska? What evidence is there that Louisville is worse than Notre Dame? I get that voters don't want to drop a program like Alabama barring a loss, but Tennessee looks miles ahead of them. Wish the polls were a little more dynamic.

2023 RB Tre Wisner
This is a really cool commitment quote to look back on - he's certainly followed through on this during his tenure. Fun to watch a guy like him getting and taking this opportunity. What an excellent eval by the staff, Tashard Choice continues to bat 1.000.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
Took a brief break from emptying kegs in Ann Arbor only to find out that Kenny Baker can in fact recruit. We are embarking on a decade long dynasty, at minimum.

If the fanbase could handle a few rebuilding seasons, I actually think Elko could build them back to a decent program. Thankfully, Billy and co. promise a “natty” every year and eliminate the possibility of any grace period. We are about to put them in the dirt for a decade and it’s so fucking awesome.

Guessing they don’t teach them to spend 30 seconds criticizing a successful trick play in commentating school. That was insane.

Tell Me About Michigan
I've been monitoring Michigan Insider and do think they're pretty levelheaded as far as 9.95ers go. A few things they've highlighted that jump out to me: 1. Donovan Edwards playing at an elite level is a must for this offense; however, Edwards was quietly pretty bad last year. Really poor in explosive plays and yards after contact. 2. As noted above, there does not appear to be any plan B to just running the ball and relying on the defense. They're not confident that any QB on the roster can complete 60% of their passes and the presumptive starter is in a QB battle with a senior walk on who went 0-5 with an INT in limited appearances last year. There's not a WR they can count on as a deep threat to supplement the run game and they've been touting the after catch ability of a bunch of mediocre nobodies - reading between the lines it sounds pretty dire. 3. Even adjusting for 9.95er hype, the defense is going to be elite and physical. They took two G5 guys to beef up the second CB spot across from Will Johnson and neither one is elite or even necessarily good. If Will Johnson goes down they're in trouble (obviously this is the case for most star players across the country). With that said, I'm less sure of victory than I was at Bama last year. The logical side of me cannot really see them keeping pace with us if there's a relatively normal game script, but I do sort of buy the possibility that they suffocate us on offense, force a few turnovers and sneak out a 17-14 win.

Tell me about ou
There's basically 5 wins built in the schedule. I'm very high on the OU defense, but Tennessee, @Auburn, neutral Texas, @Ole Miss, @Mizzou, Bama, @LSU, is absolutely brutal. I think they probably scrape 3 of those games and hit the over, with the a large caveat that the offense can't be dreadful. I've been hearing a lot of "Bedenbaugh will figure it out" from OU friends and I'm not so sure that will be the case.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
The Ags have been doing a lot of complaining about getting more information from Daddy89 than Looch and co. lately, but fortunately Brauny is still there giving them insider info you can't get anywhere else.

I legitimately think they are just mentally passing around TJ Shanahan's 5th star from rivals. Also deeply enjoy them repackaging "multiple years of horrible game tape" to the more palatable "Experienced."

2025 WR Kaliq Lockett
I don't believe anything until kxan reports it. Can't really trust the live feed of the recruit committing.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
I like how he points to the secondary as their only potential weakness, but then describes it as a deep unit. How do these wools fall for it every year? Last year, they had absolute swiss cheese on the OL and he was harping on about how our OL was overrated and using that to prop up their unit. He is incapable of any semblance of objectivity.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
I can't remember the last time a freshman was being hyped up by Bobby/Gerry the way Wingo is - I guess Kelvin Banks was pretty similar. I'm curious if Cook/Moore get the courtesy start against CSU because it sounds like a combination of Bond, Bolden, Wingo, along with Niblack, would be extremely difficult to defend.

2024 CFB Schedules - Coelenterates & Consequences
Notre Dame's schedule is really pathetic because you can't even give them credit for scheduling USC (not that they'll be any good this year). So, you have two teams in the top 20 of pre-season SP+, FSU and A&M (lol), Louisville at #28, then the next highest ranked team is Miami Ohio. You couldn't even schedule a few Maryland, West Virginia, Iowa State types? They've got 8 bona fide cupcakes and then 4 fringe top 25 teams, depending on your feelings about DJ Ukulelele

No doubt. Herm Edwards comes to mind in recent times.

UCLA's return to dominance no longer featuring DeShaun Foster
That's basically free money. Hawaii and Indiana are the only games where I think UCLA is a certified favorite (potentially Minnesota if their QB busts) and I wouldn't be surprised by the new Indiana staff coaching circles around Foster. WR and LB are the only position groups that have both talent and depth. Safety, interior DL and RB might be passable at the P4 level and I guess Garbers could be decent? The other position groups are either utterly disastrous or one injury away from utter disaster. There is genuinely no way to undersell the extent to which Chip Kelly burned the program down on his way out. He tossed a live grenade to Foster and waddled his fat ass out of there.

UCLA's return to dominance no longer featuring DeShaun Foster
The thing that's a bummer is the fanbase is so beaten down that I don't think 6 wins (which would be a massive overperformance and probably absolute best case scenario in my opinion) would get any traction. I just don't see any way Foster can get the momentum to turn things around. The roster after next year is sickening and it's already in terrible shape this year. Chip Kelly would commit seppuku if he had a shred of decency.

My pops lives 2 minutes away from his high school and swears this guy is the truth. He also guaranteed me that JT Daniels would win at least one Super Bowl, so I rank his player eval credibility one notch above Ketch.

Just took a look at the A&M receiver depth chart. Can't say I blame Johnson, it is absolutely BARREN after this year.
