December 6, 20241 yr Author Popular Post Just now, LTtxfan said: Despite lower-ranked class, Elko completely boxes out Longhorns in important area Pending one big announcement, Texas A&M football cleaned up in one area where the Longhorns' class is lacking. By Graham Harmon | 9:33 AM EST Texas A&M football just signed quite the impressive class for Mike Elko's first year at the helm. Though things didn't end up going the way that Aggie fans wanted down the stretch of the year, the talent that is coming in via the high school ranks is considerable, with plenty of instant impact players to go around. Late in the game, the Aggies added two five-stars at premium positions: highly-regarded wideout Jerome Myles and elite tackle prospect Lamont Rogers. Those are two players who will no doubt make a huge impact on this roster going forward. The strength of this class, though, is in the trenches. That's where you win games in the SEC, as we've seen for years now, and so it's imperative to bring in top prospects at those positions. Mike Elko did so—at the expense of an in-state rival. Texas A&M football helped shut out the Texas Longhorns on elite line prospects in-state The most obvious evidence of this is from the three elite offensive tackle prospects from DFW. Ty Haywood, Michael Fasusi, and Lamont Rogers are all five-star tackles; the Aggies got Rogers, while Fasusi—despite a huge push from the Longhorns—ended up with OU. Haywood still has yet to sign, but is down to Alabama or Michigan. Then, you have what happened with the defensive tackle talent in state. DJ Sanders, out of Bellville, was a guy that Longhorn insiders believed they were getting right up until his commitment, and then they believed once more that they were flipping him right up until he signed. Of course, neither of these things materialized, and he inked with the Aggies. A similar story happened with another of the Ags' top DT prospects in Chace Sims, who Texas kept trying to get on campus during the fall. The Aggies weathered the storm there as well. And we can't forget about Landon Rink. The uber-productive DT out of Houston is a Longhorn legacy, coached by his father Shane Rink—but he will wear the Maroon and White in college. Now, Texas didn't go o-fer. They brought in DE Lance Jackson, who the Aggies never pursued, but is highly-rated by at least one service. They're waiting on the announcement of another five-star in DL Justus Terry, but it's not likely they'll get a five-star DL out of Georgia when the Bulldogs are in the mix. The Longhorns brought in plenty of talent at DB and WR, that's true. But we saw in the Tom Herman era how overloading classes at those spots will end up for your program. You need to have the proper amount of talent on the lines of scrimmage—and in that respect, the Longhorns should be worried. Â

Enjoy watching the Longhorns in both the SEC championship and playoffs--atm fightiin' choads.  Edited December 6, 20241 yr by Mdhorn
December 6, 20241 yr Sark needs to make aggy his farm system. Let it be known that aggy players don’t strive to excel because they want to win a championship (obviously that’s not going to happen), but because they want an offer from The University.

I know some people said he had an up-and-down year but I really haven't followed him that closely. He has a PFF grade this year of 68.8. His run defense grade is below 50 and he was one of the worst run supporting safeties in college football. He's too slow to play CB and not physical enough at NB or S. I hope he sticks around. If he goes pro, I'm not sure what there is to like about drafting him versus other options.

December 11, 20241 yr On Zeno from TexAgs. They're having trouble getting fired up. This is some serious mutinous talk here. Not even one, "if he chose A&M, he must be an Elko culture guy! Look at the film." You know these 23 guys were roaming around waiting for a shepherd to show them the way. Every team wants a back up qb with a history of throwing interceptions. Hope we can find at least one! More insight coming in: Disaster-proof was Zeno's nickname! The 20 upvotes are sips, too? The nickname: bitterness and dawning realization about the direction of the program. Stunning to see this early on TexAgs. The naivetes are restless. Cue sunshine with accompanying pump. The parrots are studying the above to spread the copium. That phrase will return often in the coming month. Maroon Dawn isn't having it: Charlie is a fast-learning parrot. Moving towards "Zeno is perfect for us." Parrots  Just cruising past the rest of the dross, I come upon Yogi Berra Ag: You played at A&M! Wow! Were you a starter? I started at back-up quarterback.
December 11, 20241 yr  Thanks, @RomaVicta  If only they could find an experienced QB from a major program. Like a 5* guy with experience starting in the SECX3. Anyone know where they could find that guy?
December 11, 20241 yr A little more from the Marroon Dawn v Vander cage match: [I'm just going to point out the psychopathy of jcag recalling a Maroon Dawn post from three years ago and actually having it bookmarked. That's some heavy Aggie stalker shit there, man.] Vander returns to take up the argument leaving jcag to keep on eye on Maroon Dawn. (Feels like I'm writing a screenplay.) Will he even practice? I see him with wizened visage sagely leaning on a fence post filing his nails. "You boys have any questions about throwing interceptions, I'm your man." Muk agrees: But, wait! Now it seems like he is a stud: That accounts for all of his touchdown passes last year. Wait, he didn't play Georgia last year.  From the UAB site for 2023 Quote AS A REDSHIRT JUNIOR (2023): Had the most prolific single season for a quarterback in UAB history…Set the single season record for completions (279) and completion percentage (73.6)…Threw for the second most yards in a season with 3,126…Threw for 20 touchdowns and added four rushing scores…Finished the season ranked second nationally in completion percentage, seventh in completions per game (25.4), 11th in total offense (299.5) and 14th in passing yards per game (284.2)…Set UAB FBS single game passing record with 484 yards and five touchdowns against Florida Atlantic…Had 353 yards and four touchdowns in a win against South Florida…Threw for over 300 yards three times.

December 11, 20241 yr Reminds me of 2019 TCU. After a disastrous 3-9 2018 season with no decent QB, Patterson brought in Alex Delton from KSU, supposedly just to provide senior leadership. TCU fans knew that was desperate and ridiculous. Delton started 3 games, lost his starting role to true freshman Duggan, and then quit after 4 games. So much for senior leadership.Â

December 11, 20241 yr As an experienced, veteran Texags troll I have to admit that most posters without an ag tag are trolls. For nearly 15 years I’ve pursued the elusive ag tag to no avail. This knowledge might diminish your joy in reading Texags, but it also brings joy in knowing that there are many, many people who enjoy trolling aggy.
