May 4, 20214 yr TIL: Travon Fuller was still at aggy until this portal. He and Tucker both surprised me that way.Â

It's particularly bizarre when you realize these dudes chose not to play for a coach that 90% of this board fucking hated. A 17 year old took a bag of cash rather than subjecting himself to Tom Herman and his merry band of idiots? Fuck that guy!

He reminds me a lot of Anthony Cook. Two guys who were way ahead of the pack in technique their sophomore years that were never going to have the athleticism to succeed at a high level in college, but stayed highly ranked just because they were 5 stars at one point with a ton of offers.Â

Also, I thought Young was the starting NB? I'm interested to see how well their DL is able to dominate opposing OLs, because any time they cannot, ATM is going to be in deep shit.Â

Morris? Young? Moten?
May 4, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Fud said: I think Jaylon Jones is the starting nickel He was at CB again this spring, I think.

This is right except NB1 - Johnson/Young Moten out injured. Williams and Morris somewhere in the ether. Chappell coming in at CB, likely for when Blades gets injured again.Â

May 4, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, Fud said: Maybe they'd bump Jones out to corner if/when one of those CBs goes down Have we seen anything out of Jones at this point to believe he still wouldn't be a liability at CB? Because that was the common perception of him as a recruit, that he excelled when facing the ball but didn't have the best hips to turn and run at CB. I didn't watch almost any aTm games last season. And it's impossible to glean anything from their roster online since everyone is just listed as DB.Â

I was just going by what I saw from the few spring practice clips and that beating of a spring game. some jumble of those 6 guys.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  4 minutes ago, SydneyCarton said: Have we seen anything out of Jones at this point to believe he still wouldn't be a liability at CB He started all 10 last year and looked good, honestly. He's a better athlete than the other guys they've signed and he afforded himself pretty well. He still looks like a FS playing CB but he's a better football player than those other spares. They play facing the ball quite a bit so he's not out of his element and forced to turn and run.Â

May 4, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, SydneyCarton said: My instinct is that he can get fucked. Guess it took a year after he got to Auburn to figure out that maybe, just maybe it wasn't the best spot to be the Engineer or whatever the fuck it was he aspires to be, because he claimed to have legit academic interests...and then picked Auburn. Yes, I know his dad was the main culprit. That being said, he was pretty tight with Ja'Quinden Jackson, obviously. I wonder if Utah would be a destination. I know he had a specific fit in our last defense, less certain if he has an obvious fit in PK's scheme unless as Macklin said we would be flat out selling him at LB. Playing 6 games at a true Freshman and still choosing to portal out feels like something certainly went sideways in Auburn. Or dad is having him put his name in the portal for a second payday/retention bonus.

If they run into someone else that the DL can't dominate, it neutralizes things for them against other opponents. They'll have mediocrities at QB, OL, DB, and WR. They have a vanilla offense. A competent defense that can account for Wydermeyer and contain Spiller could yield an upset if the aggie DL is held to a stay.
May 4, 20214 yr Regarding Thompson, we had Todd Orlando calling safety blitzes from Saudi Arabia while Fuckface was monitoring people’s pee color and flipping off the camera. It’s hard for me to hold a grudge for taking the cash and playing for a more competent defensive staff. I would absolutely inquire.Â
May 4, 20214 yr Author Don't know how this became the A&M thread. In any case, Nahlin seems to think we have a legit shot at the Vanderbilt safety (Kaufman). There are a couple connections that could help us out here: -Kaufman attended Archbishop Rummel High in New Orleans. Terry Joseph played high school ball (at Archbishop Shaw) under the guy who is currently the AD (and former coach) at Rummel. -One of our defensive analysts, Cordae Hankton, is a Rummel High alumnus.

May 4, 20214 yr Author (Gerry Hamilton) Shadrach Banks update Spoiler  The recruitment of Shadrach Banks continues with Texas or TCU still expected to be where a decision comes from, as of today. Multiple people very close to Banks are encouraging him not to rush a decision, but instead step foot on the campus of Texas and TCU and make sure of a decision as this is a decision that needs to be made in a sound fashion. Banks has engaged in multiple communications with different members of the Texas staff (zoom calls and phone calls). That list includes Sark, Bo Davis, Jeff Banks and members of the defensive staff. It’s likely Banks will make unofficial visits to Texas and TCU at the end of May/first of June ... and then make a decision.  Â

May 4, 20214 yr Sorry to be late to this with a question that's likely obvious to y'all. Is this the player who wants to play linebacker, and is that the position he'll compete for here? Thanks. Y'all seem pretty happy to get him. I'll take that as a good sign. Looks like he wasn't at A&M long enought to be Aggyized.

First team all MAC as well as all academic team as well. Curious if he can play guard if they think Majors can be the longterm answer at C... Love the idea of an OL, not sure if I would want an interior OL vs a swing tackle, but there is a solid chance he could come in and start over Majors, do it and let him develop more.
