    I'm not convinced Hookfin is going to pan out.  The reason I feel this way is because I've spent most of my life in the weight room and I can tell when someone is going to be a hard gainer, and he fit

    He's actually #1, it's just taking him a while to get there.

    He seems to be appropriately paid. aggy D is currently top 20 in only his first year and they’ve got some good players coming in. He’s solely responsible for stealing Brian Williams from us.

He'd be a solid QB2. 

If he's their primary QB take, then yikes 

This year's recruiting class is lacking on top end QB's. I'm glad we got ours early on. 

Even the Information Ministry is wrong every once in a while.  But to be fair, they usually just go radio silent and drop whoever it was in their rankings.

Getting word of a possible commitment very soon. I'll have more when I can, but it's a recent eval kid.

I'll back off the very soon timeline in regards to the OP, but I still think there's some serious 2019 movement on the horizon

These guys, I believe. They do have offers from the P5 Florida schools. No idea what their chances are at landing them. @TBGFL

 

Not very likely. From what I've heard, one is a silent to one of the in state Big 3.

It's an interesting strategy. Hand likes to take long lean guys who if they fail at OT can move inside, the Marine likes stocky OL that don't have the lateral quickness to play OT and move them there anyway. Bold strategy by Cotton.

Big OT Trainor ready to visit A&M again, high on two schools

VIP ByBRIAN PERRONI 102 minutes ago

When talking about linemen in the state of Texas for the class of 2019, one name is often a bit forgotten. Not a player that is active on social media, Hallsville offensive tackle Blake Trainor has built up a pretty impressive offer list.

 

The 6-foot-7, 300-pound rising senior has Power Five offers from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, TCU and Texas A&M. The Aggies were the first of those schools to offer and the East Texas product will be making his way to College Station this coming weekend.

 

"I'm going down there on Saturday," Trainor said. "They are having a bunch of their targets in town, so it should be a lot of fun. I want to meet a lot of those guys and get to know the coaches better as well. I liked it down there at the spring game but I should be able to see more this time.

 

"I keep up with coach (Jim) Turner and coach (Lee) Grimes. They stay in contact with me and let me know that they like me."

 

On Wednesday, Trainor was a bit surprised when five-star Aggie offensive tackle pledge Kenyon Green gave him a shout out on Twitter.

 

"I was eating with my family and then all of a sudden, I got a notification that Kenyon was following me," Trainor said. "That was big. I couldn't believe it. Then, we started DM'ing and he's been talking up A&M to me. He tried to get a bunch of A&M fans to follow me as well."

 

In addition to A&M, Trainor made a trip earlier this week to another in-state school.

 

"I was at TCU on Monday," he said. "That was my first time there. I really liked it. The campus was really nice and I liked the facilities."

3COMMThough he has not taken many visits, Trainor does admit that those two schools have his attention.

 

"A&M and TCU, both of those are up there at the top," he said. "They're the ones I've had the most contact with and they're close to home. I like both of those places.

I dont think its Liucci. First his ego wouldnt let him post on 247. Second Hamm and Peronni cant stand Liucci but theyve given that guy a platform as an insider. 

 

Its been apparent in some of his posts and what what he has posted that he is positioning himself as someone in the athletic dept at ATM. He was criticial of how sumlin recruited and coached, and he knew shit like both qbs transferring independantly a day or two before it became public. 

This is just my opinion, but I think he works at aTm, near or in the athletic dept. And this last post of his, to me, tacitly screams a knowledge of recruiting shennanigans happening. I dont know what else could constitute one if “so many moving parts” or whatever he said, while dismissing shit like girlfriends and whatnot.

legit lol. imart is way too smart to be working in an athletic department - and people take his acerbic online bit too seriously, he's basically just our version of ctj, with maybe a bit more e-anger.

also, i would like to state on the record that wherever christian harris ends up, he will be all-conference and a top 3 round pick in the nfl. love that kid's film.

Well, that's interesting info. I took him semi-seriously (not his attitude, his info) because both Hamm and Peronni have deferred to him and referenced him as a guy with legit sources. 

Surprised we aren’t looking at Trainor. He has the height we look for. Maybe not mobile enough for OT and too tall to move inside?

aggys moving on at OT from Coker and more importantly Shepherd.

I think we have some interest but are wanting to see senior year film to see how he progresses.

Its the OU version of "I ain't visiting no damn TCU"

Lulz. That is not a Top 2 recruiting class OL group.  I'm honestly surprised Jimbo is willing to sign off on the Marine settling so much between the 2020 OL commits and the possibility of grabbing a guy like Trainor this early in the cycle.

Also, good to see Hamm conceding Shepherd. Whenever Hamm gives up on a prospect, you know aggy's in a bad spot for him.

oh i would take him seriously. he knows where a few bodies are buried both in college station and austin.

and i like trainer as a project to start down the road, but our immediate tackle depth chart is rough. 

 

I have noticed aggy keeps asking Perroni about an update on Shepherd and he seems to be ignoring them. He usually is quick to respond

Imart is another CTJ sock account?

I always assumed you were also ktown777 (ok, I still think that's actually sarva) 

 

That slapdick Imart appears to know athletic dept activities in The Station but he knows fuckall about UT's AD and every time he pretends to know something about UT he shows it. I'd guess that beyond the schtick he's a mid-tier guy within the AD. Pretty sure that one 12th man foundation guy doxxed his ass when he went all redass and got banned on TexAgs, AggieYell, and Gigem on the same night but I missed the entire hullaballew caneck caneck.

Ktown isn't sarva/satya. He's a decent poster on other boards, and doesn't hand-wring nearly as much.

A general question: I know Florida State turned out alot of NFL talent, but was there OL development worth a shit? It doesn't seem like they did very well there.

I downloaded on tapa and the link is broken, but when I went to the regular surlyhorns site the screenshots were there.

Doesn't make sense

Rick Trickett was their OL coach during the Jimbo era and a huge portion of the fanbase wanted him fired for years and felt like Jimbo's lack of changes to the offensive staff were a huge detriment to the program. If you want to get a Noles fan to start raging all you have to do is bring up Trickett. Trickett was a magician at WVU (spread concepts) but appeared to never mesh with Fisher and his offensive style and they never were consistent with a type of OL that they recruited/signed. It actually played out quite a bit like Joe Wickline did here with a coach who had a lot of previous success not meshing and really a poor scheme fit, but imagine instead that Wickline was here in the Briles system for 10 years. Trickett is a + recruiter while Wickline is a + asshole. 

Ironically Wickline is at WVU now back in the loving embrace of the Holgo/Gundy/Monken/Fedora offense.

This is true on both counts. I think the Marine is not going to make it under Jimbo recruiting bread.

i'm also randolph. crazy world we live in.

and the types of decisions being discussed here are way above the pay grade of "mid-tier AD" employees.

Oh FFS, maybe you really are imart blowing this bullshit. fuck there is no fan base that loves themselves a fucking insider like Aggy. (ZOMG "The Fly" posted it, it must be true "a little birdy told him" all that other horse shit.  Above the paygrade of a mid-tier employee, eh? So is imart Hurley or Batson?  Take you pick. We know he's not Toole, Moore, or Douglas Walker. I can't remember who it was that was doxxed but it certainly wasn't Hurley or Batson and they certainly shouldn't be posting that often on gigem, esp about specific recruits and talking shit about their families and money changing hands, grades, etc ... much less interacting with Hamm once the hammer got dropped on his ass.   

so yes bizzle, a fucking "mid-tier AD" employee.

I don't know who this Imart character is, but he must be quite the wizard. Also, can you dickheads give me the running list of my socks these days? I'm struggling to keep up. 

I did used to enjoy crafting socks for absurdist performances, when I had the time. dibollhorn on Hornfans - I'll go so far as to say that one qualified as performance art. I doubt most here would recall, but using ridiculous and unhinged deep east Texas stupidity was an easy way to rope regular posters into climbing over each other to attack him. I based him on what appeared to be a real life poster named "bullardhorn", who I am fairly certain was actually killed in a meth lab explosion in or around the town of Bullard. But I digress...

Holy crap, I had forgotten bullardhorn.  That was a long time ago.

He is framing the Shepherd recruitment such that A&M fans will easily jump to the conclusion that we bought him if he commits to us (they'll probably do that anyway, but he's putting it on a tee).

Oh shit Hamm called a shot for 10 recruits. Someone start the counter so we can track the equivalent of 0/30

Carter with the off-the-field concerns BUUUUUTT A&M leads right now (just in case). 

Dylan Wright snuck in the Aggy leads camp, btw. I see you Tay Tay.

That's mostly because Jimbo wouldnt get rid of Rick Trickett, the old OL coach.

No, he snuck in "should be top contenders" for cover.
