Their constant claims that the SEC plays defense is hilarious. Did they actually watch their conference last year? The defenses were god awful. The offenses have all started switching to spread, but the defenses are nowhere near caught up. They’re basically the Big 12 about 10 years ago. Funny enough, the Big 12 has actually finally figured out how to at least be effective against the spread and had way better defenses against the spread than the SEC this year.

    A&M is playing the NIL game smarter than everyone else. You can bitch and moan all you want, but they are ahead of us. Our OL package is us (finally) trying to catch up.

    I talked to two people separately that are connected at ATM.  I know this will sound unbelievable because it is so predictable, including us saying it a bunch here, but apparently they really did

    I think my favorite part of all of this is the unquestioned agreement that the dude who threw three interceptions vs. Kent State would have solved all of their problems.

Yeah,  love this.  the SEC sucked all year whenever rankings were shown.  I did a quick look-up (Sports-reference.com).  Overall defense in 2020,  Aggies were 17th (3rd highest sec team behind GA and AL).  There were SIX big 12 teams listed ahead of them.  Similar stats in scoring, passing, rushing, where usually the hayseeds were 3rd in conference and behind 5 other big 12 teams.

Their raw stats are inflated because they played so many shitty teams. Per FEI, their D was 34th. The SEC only had two defenses inside the top 20. The big 12 had 5. 

Recruiting personnel, how do they work?

This ish guy seems like he was way to critical a piece for their recruiting. I understand kids build relationships with staffers but they are very doom and gloom over an analyst. I see this more as a aggy justification for losing the Anderson’s and Allen’s of the world they felt they lead for. Their world will crumble that much more when some oline and dline they felt they had in the bag go elsewhere. Will they blame it on the loss of this guy?

I mean, wasn't the loss of Samples one of the supposed reasons we missed on Thompson Jr and Byrd? Analysts can be effective recruiters.

Sounds like this guy was specifically involved with DBs so it may be a real loss there and not elsewhere. Kind of like how Samples was a big loss in Dallas but not as much elsewhere

and Harris too. It's like guys who have a job looking at HS film identifying players are not going to build relationships with these kids, too.

But when has lack of knowledge about a topic stopped aggy from bleating about it?

Very reasonable discussion on whether they can be the premier program in the country and how many championships Jimbo will win once he coaches until he’s 75 from the fans who haven't even seen a conference championship in 23 years.

Dammit, got me there. Wall don’t lie.image.thumb.jpeg.a778af5ecec00453594c480448c63613.jpeg

I guess they are assuming Alabama actually wins the conference the year Jimbo finally earns this plaque otherwise they would have their 20— conference title up there as well.

They are gonna need a bigger wall for all those upcoming championship plaques, not counting their hall of champions which is gonna need to be enlarged, as well.  Next year.

Our shitty recently fired coach had better seasons in 2018 and 2019 than their savior Jimbo. So in a down year due to Covid, Jimbo is able to beat a bunch of shitty teams in the SEC that averaged 3.75 wins. The 3 teams they beat that played in bowl games went 1-2. Suddenly aggy is a juggernaut.

I think you're confused. Florida did not pay in a bowl game. Dan Mullen said so right after they got beat the fuck down.

A team called florida, wearing florida uniforms, being coached by Dan Mullen and featuring many of Florida's players played in a bowl game, but Dan Mullen told me that Florida was a very good team and the team that played ou looked like warmed over dog shit, so it must not have been Florida.

Even if it's just an analyst it feels like they've had a ton of continuity so I'll take any loss right now 

Aristide is a solid recruiter and one of the reasons they've snagged a few players in Florida.

Old news, but Demas must be a bought and paid for dumbass.  Any 2022 WR should research Dylan Wright and Demas.  

again the fact that Demas got ZERO CATCHES last year is something that can't be overlooked and should be used by everyone on every WR recruit even considering A&M.

did Demas have gains to make? sure.

but there is very very little chance that a 5* who is healthy all year has 0 catches at Texas or OU, especially when you have the blowouts that A&M had.

it's comical.

This is what happens when your staff leans on a single member, Ish Aristide, for too much of the communication and relationship building.

When does his revised 44 come out? Winfield and Blue will drop for sure..hoping a few of those near the top drop a few spots as well.

Going back to 2016, I can't find any listed 5* wr without a catch in their freshman season.

just to be clear here, they are arguing that A&M backed off a guy who is the #66 composite player in the country who was committed to LSU and currently has a Fong CB and who also has offers from Texas, Bama, LSU, A&M, UGA, the rest of the SEC?

And if he's to break out this year, he'll be doing it with either King or Caldaza, and a green OL.   Dem bags doe.

Right, doesn't bode well for him. Jimbo's offense with an experienced line, and a Sr QB, emphasized a TE and a RB as the top two pass catchers. I am sure Demas will enjoy blocking for RB and TE screens all year with an inexperienced oline and QB.

Yeah, I didn't really count him since 247 had him listed as an ATH.

 

Even with the WRs who had limited production, the avg freshman season for a 5*, in that timeframe, was around 20 catches for 286 yards and 2 TDs.

To say Demas and Aggy underperformed for a 5* WR, nailed it.

What is this argument about. Outside of Marshall, aggy has no shot at any WR Texas covets.

Burton - nope

Winfield - nope

Stewart - nope

Thompson - nope

Coleman - nope

Williams - nope

Hudson - nope

I've read Texas is interested in 4 or 5.  Signing Winfield, Stewart, Coleman, Williams at WR and Brenen Thompson as an ATH isn't out of the question.

Maybe aggy signs Noah Thomas, goes all-in on Phaizon and Marshall, and then hopes to find a post-Covid late bloomer or two? Maybe some other  3-star?

Jay Fair is one to watch. He appears to be an A&M vs TCU battle. 

Maybe A&M pushes for Nicholas Anderson, Matthew Golden, or DJ Allen

They're hopeful for Georgia WR Kojo Antwi, but will have to beat out Bama and Georgia there

That overly complex offense doesn't produce many high draft picks at WR. Most receivers in that offense don't see the field before their junior year.

Perroni CB'd Jaray Bledsoe and Chris Marshall to A&M with level 5 confience.

Marshall is interesting because as reported "Achane is the reason he started playing football for the first time this year and the two are very close"  I expected this one to be a quick offer/close scenario for aggy but with it playing out to ESD he's going to end up with offers and interest from all over. I still would expect his relationship with Achane and aggy's location to win in the end but if Bama, tOSU, or especially Clemson enter the mix along with Texas pursuit, adding in all of the west coast schools pushing hard ...

Note: Clemson has only made 2 WR offers in the 2022 class Caleb Burton (tOSU) and Adam Randall (Clemson).

Bledsoe can fuckin move. Looks like a top 100 player to my untrained eye. Plus DTs that play RB are the high floor high ceiling types
