    Hey everyone, just got back from Baton Rouge. I was taking my stepson there for an orientation (he got his GED and only qualified for Blinn, aggy, and LSU) and got to hang out with some of the local f

does he think it's like a real estate listing and he'll get a better price if he's not on the market for too long?

Wait that doesn’t work?

  • 2 months later...

Watching the aggy game and remembered our favorite headcase Demond Demas...looked up his stats for the season and saw he hasn't even caught a pass (and apparently he's not even dressed out for tonight's game). What's his deal?

He doesn’t really know how play the position yet. He neither understands their playbook yet nor can he get separation coming off the LOS. Like any receiver in a Jimbo offense, you probably shouldn’t expect him to become a key target until their third year, or maybe late in their second year.

With their winning streak and high ranking, it seems the masses have forgotten all about their personnel grievances. 

Demas on portal watch? Not dressing out isn't a performance issue and reports are that it's not injury/illness. Seem to remember some grumblings about him being promised the first play of the season, which would obviously be a bold-faced lie with 0 catches still. Could easily see him being pissed

Could also just be a normal off-field discipline thing

Could be auditioning for the next season of Chopped. 

Dylan Wright hasn't done much either. Anaias Smith is getting all sorts of playing time already.

It's about showing what you've got in practices. Just high rating shouldn't be the ticket.

I was high on Wright.. wouldn't mind him hitting the portal and UT giving him a hard look

New penalty-free portal is gonna revolutionize the bag game. Why get one bag when you can leave a year later for a second?

It would be hilarious if FWK tells Demas to ditch Jimbo to join Urban.

How many of such guys end up in the NFL and making real money? Nobody wants to deal with headcases if they can help it.

Demas didn't even play his senior year of high school, right? He transferred and then wasn't healthy. If he expects to play but finds getting passed by someone like Chase Lane and Hez Jones for playing time, and he is pissed because of that, then good luck to him and to whichever team that is the landing spot. He had every opportunity to step up...but doesn't realize he needs more time to develop.

Randy Moss made it work. And he was a pretty ordinary talent (I'M JOKING)

Whoever the next Texas coach is Demas doesn’t seem like a good locker room presence when trying to rebuild our culture. I could be wrong and you always take a chance on a kid that athletic. 

Sounds like Demas will get playing time against Auburn. haha  Interesting times.  Maybe he'll catch a few balls for the first time this season if Mond can make adequate throws in Demas' general direction.

Westlake Village defensive tackle Victory Vaka reopened his commitment on Monday morning.

Vaka was among a string of commitments for the Aggies in early May and was originally scheduled to visit A&M this past weekend for their game against LSU.

Achane is damn good. Guess I was incorrect saying he was being lied to about playing RB

Achane was a high 3-star... playing like a 5-star.

Meanwhile, still nothing from Demas...  that seems very weird, considering  guys like Hez Jones starting and playing significant minutes. Chase Lane was a 3-star speedster coming out of high school but at least he has proved himself to be a pass catcher. But mostly it is Anias Smith, the TE (Wydermeyer), or RB screen pass, or some dinky dunky passes to Chase Lane or Hez Jones...and Hez JOnes seems to drop more than he catches.

Really surprised that Dylan Wright nor Demas nor a guy like Moos Muhammad have any playing time... hopefully Jimbo can talk all of them off the ledge and they stay and become starters next season.  That's a lot of talent, at least on paper, that seems to be on sideline.

Uh, Achane was a high four star who was ranked #55 in the country by 247

Perhaps I'm not looking at the right place, but this one says his last ranking was 137, and that was a very late bump; most of his senior season he was ranked from 243 to 216, never breaking that 2 handle.  I guess I was wrong and maybe thinking of another recruit that was a 3-star; Devon was a low 4-star thru most of his last year in high school.

Nevermind; I was thinking of Ainias Smith... very underrated, as it turns out:

https://247sports.com/PlayerSport/Ainias-Smith-at-Dulles-183243/RecruitRankHistory/?history=composite

 

And Devon Achane was recruited basically for same/similar position.  And now I see Achane's 247 rating versus his composite rating. 247 really gave him a big bump at the end of his senior season... kudos to them.

 

Looks like Demas again got no receptions and is not listed in the participation.

I read that he didn't travel with the team last week

Covid is contagious, but so is bad mojo in the locker room.

looks like Demas is heading on bust wagon to join his buddy Shepherd.  

Would be happy if Dylan wright portal'd to us.. big fan of that guy

Outland Trophy Watchlist: Dan Moore (low 3-star) and Kenyon Green (5-star)

Rimington Award Watchlist: Ryan McCollum (low 3-star)

Mackey Award Semifinalist: TE Jalen Wydermeyer (high 3-star); one of 10 semifinalists, but the award likely goes to Kyle Pitts of Florida based on hype

Butkus Award Semifinalist: LB Buddy Johnson (3-star); one of 16 semifinalists and probably won't win but great to see a linebacker from A&M get recognized among the top players; last one to win it was Von Miller.

Doak Walker Award Semifinalist: RB Isiah Spiller (low 4-star); one of 10 semifinalists, but Najee Harris or Travis ETN probably wins it, but again, nice to see recognition.

Paul Hornung Award Watchlist: Ainias Smith (3-star).

7 players recognized and only 3 of them are seniors; not bad.  I bet it gets used in recruiting pitches. No DLs on the list though, while UT got Joseph Ossai recognized for one of the awards watchlists (Nagurski, I think), and Ehlinger is on multiple awards watch lists/semifinals from his sheer skill set and will.

If by 'wasn't healthy ' , you mean 'was ruled ineligible by the UiL' , then yes

Achane barely made it into the A&M class when they missed on some other top targets and took him late

You're confusing Ainias Smith with Devon Achane.

Achane was the highly coveted guy that most wanted at slot, but he wanted to play RB and A&M said that's where he'd play.

Well, he's in the portal now. Officially official.

Maybe he can be convinced that he will catch more passes in UT's scheme than he ever in Aggieland.

I gotta wonder about that WR corch; Wright and Demas are top flight talents (as is Kam Brown, going by ratings) that don't see playing time, but a guy like Chase Lane and Hez Jones get the start. WRs aren't getting many passes anyways while Mond is at QB. But does this really mean that Chase Lane is the better talent than Wright and Demas?! I guess we'll know if Wright does end up elsewhere and if it pans out in his new team.

Lovely.  Road game @ TCU next year (where we never win) to get torched by Max Duggan once again throwing bombs to Johnston and Wright.

Impressive statline for Demas in his freshman season. Hope the bag was worth it.

And Dylan Wright had so much fun he decided to spend the rest of his college career playing in Minneapolis winters.
