Did we ever try it with Damion Miller/Devo/whichever non-qualifiers we've had over the last few years? The downside to a greyhshirt is the student has to wait to enroll in classes until 2nd term of freshman year. They are not allowed to enroll, not allowed to practice, and not allowed to receive any scholarship money. Many recruits don’t want to sit out a year as you’re basically becoming an early enrollee for the 2020 class. Most will go the JUCO route as they can start school and stay in shape with workouts etc. As far as rankings, I don’t know why they would count for the 2019 class, as they’re not allowed to enroll until 2020, but whatever.

February 7, 20196 yr alc updated the Aggy class chart for post NSD - they are at 87 right now, with 5 available ships for 20202 :: 13 WRs and already adding more. That portal will be full of WR and Aggy JRs in general at the end of spring football. The LB and CB depth chart, fucking murderous. It's weird because there's a lot of bread here but if you surgically remove even the worst 17 guys to get them 22 - you'd leave massive holes in the depth chart and it's never all the guys you want gone that leave and some will leave that you don't. Pretty crazy. Gonna be a lot of these 2019 guys playing a lot of snaps this coming season, imho.
February 7, 20196 yr Holy moly, the kool-aid in here is unbelievable Brian Perroni: Highest-ranked A&M class proves Jimbo Fisher has plan, will execute it No matter what happened on Wednesday, this year's National Signing Day was not going to have the same excitement as it did a year ago. That time around, the Aggies added eight new pledges on the first Wednesday in February, including flipping two prospects from their Alabama commits. Even though this class did not finish as exciting, the Aggies closed it out in good fashion on Wednesday. Dyersburg, Tenn., linebacker Christopher Russell was not a longtime target for A&M but, after seeing his senior film, was a guy that the Aggies desperately wanted. Jimbo Fisher made that well-known during an in-home last week and ultimately secured his pledge over a trio of other SEC programs. And Ainias Smith is a do-it-all playmaker who could potentially play a number of positions in Aggieland but should have the quickest impact as a return man on special teams. The team also has a pair of four-star defensive linemen solidly commited in Katy Taylor defensive end Braedon Mowry and A&M Consolidated defensive tackle Josh Ellison. Both still plan to enroll at A&M at some point. It would seem the worst case scenario is that the Aggies now have a pair of four-star linemen in the 2020 class. The real win for A&M, though, was in December. After only signing nine players early a year ago, Fisher and Co. saw 23 wrap up their recruitments during the Early Signing Period this year. That included getting a couple of five-stars in the fold and keeping Georgia from stealing quarterback Zach Calzada, who is from outside Atlanta, at the last minute. This is A&M's highest-rated Signing Class in modern recruiting ranking history at No. 4 overall, besting the previous mark of No. 5 in 2014. This one shows the capability of the Aggie staff as recruiters. A year ago, Texas landed most of the top in-state targets. While the Longhorns have a solid class of their own in 2019, there is no question that Texas A&M dominated the recruiting landscape in the Lone Star State. The two biggest prizes just also happened to be the top two-rated players in the entire state. When five-star Atascocita offensive tackle Kenyon Green and five-star Converse Judson defensive end DeMarvin Leal signed with A&M in December, it gave the Aggies the state's top two-ranked prospects for the first time ever since the modern recruiting rankings era began in 2002. Leal was heavily pursued by both Alabama and Texas, in addition to pretty much every school in the country. The 6-foot-4, 289-pound defender made a commitment to the Aggies right after his April official visit, surprising both schools. Texas thought it was in very good position to land him. And, while he did officially visit both Austin and Tuscaloosa later that month, he stayed solid in his pledge and is now already on campus in Aggieland. That was an absolutely huge win and a crushing blow to the Longhorns, who were still reeling over previous losses to A&M. Green went wire-to-wire as the highest-ranked recruit in the state. Once a very early LSU commit, he was a frequent visitor in Aggieland even while still pledged to the Tigers. Once he committed to A&M, he was rock-solid and was a big recruiter for the Aggies. After watching Texas win battles last year - most of them before he arrived in College Station - Fisher struck early in the 2019 class. Top-100 safety Brian Williams was thought to be very high on the Longhorns and had not really been considering the Aggies before Fisher arrived. After a day trip to College Station in late January last year, though, he committed to the Aggies and became another leader in the class. That was one that Texas did not see coming. Waxahachie national top-100 safety Demani Richardson was another player that, at one point, the Longhorns were expecting to land. However, Fisher and Mike Elko quickly went to work on him as well. He committed in February of last year and, like the others, stayed completely solid. The final big win for the Aggies was one that A&M saw coming, but nobody else seemed to. In the summer, while Calzada was also in town for camp, A&M won over West Mesquite national top-100 wide reciever Dylan Wright. He was yet another player that Texas had penciled in as a commitment. While his original plan was to wait until the Under Armour All-American game to announce for the Aggies, he actually did so in early August instead, which helped give A&M momentum with other prospects. The Aggies also landed four-star Brock tight end Baylor Cupp and four-star Fort Bend Bush cornerback Erick Young to make it an incredible seven in-state national top-100 signees. A&M also landed the state's top-ranked running back in Isaiah Spiller of Klein Collins and convinced a second tight end in Dickinson four-star Jalen Wydermyer to join Cupp in Aggieland. While the Lone Star State will always be A&M's bread and butter, the Aggies also did a great job outside its borders as well. When Harrisburg, Pa., four-star linebacker Andre White Jr. unofficially visited in the spring, almost nobody knew he was. That is, until he made a surprising commitment only a couple hours into his trip. Thought to be a very heavy lean to Penn State, the rest of the country expected him to eventually decommit. That did not happen, though, and he is already on campus and enrolled in classes. In addition to beating in-state power Georgia for Calzada, the Aggies held off SEC programs for linebackers Russell and four-star Ke'Shun Brown out of Montgomery, Ala. Defensive tackle Adarious Jones was thought to be a heavy lean to in-state Virginia Tech but ended up an Aggie. Georgia wide receiver Kenyon Jackson was once committed to LSU and had offers from much of the SEC. Four-star junior college cornerback Elijah Blades was a longtime Oregon commit before flipping to the Aggies just before the Early Signing Period. This class is pretty much a blueprint of what Fisher would like to do each year. He wants his top in-state targets and then to supplement that national at positions of need. While it will likely be a bigger battle going forward between the Aggies and Longhorns than it was in either 2018 or 2019, this class bodes well for Fisher's tenure in College Station.

February 7, 20196 yr Looch has been predicting Herman’s demise for over 2 years now. He’s talked about having inside information from Texas about all the boosters hating Herman. Looch has been wrong about everything he’s tweeted the last 2 years on Herman and Texas. He knows the Texas machine is just getting started and it’s going to keep aggy in their place, no matter how much they try to fight it.It fills me with so much glee to know that there are literally thousands of aggies who genuinely believe that big money Texas boosters are ready to run Herman out of town after a 10 win season, appearance in the Big 12 championship game, and back to back top 3 recruiting classes.
