Wow, this thread has gotten bad.
While I understand the OP's premise, his delivery needs work.
It's ok to say that because of Sumlins offense, you predict LSU will start to have trouble with it more.
That's fine.
But when you state it as fact, it rubs people the wrong way.
Obviously, I somewhat agree with you that A&M's/AU/etc offenses are changing this league, even if just barely. The up-tempo, spread attack is not common in the SEC, well, not as much as it is now anyway.
Logic would conclude that putting better athletes on the field in a system that is designed to make teams play more man, will likely result in better results than they would with lesser talent.
A&M is getting that talent now. It's been missing the key talent, however, the defensive talent, which we are now getting as well.
Look, A&M can become a dominant player in the SEC. But the SEC is still the SEC. If we were in the big 12, I would put $1000 down right now that we would win at least 5 of the next 10 conference championships. But we aren't. We are in the SEC. And there will always be a Bama/LSU/AU recruiting right there with us, if not better.
So while our talent is raising our play, the SEC in total is raising their play as well. Facts are in the numbers. More top recruits choose the SEC each year than in the last. And that trend will continue, continuing in multiple-solid teams every year.
LSU is never going to be "down" neither will Bama. We might be better some years, or those teams might be a little light on experience, but the talent will always be there to pull out the victory for many of the SEC teams against anyone.
So, please. Revise your delivery. And wait till those "perfect moments" arise.
And to answer your question in the OP. No, A&M has not hurt the SEC big dogs in recruiting Texas. If anything, our move as provided many SEC teams great exposure in our fine state, and many highly ranked kids still flock to other top SEC schools. Look at ole miss in the metroplex for example. They are getting kids that would have normally gone to A&M in the past (we have a real weapon with our offense so we recruit better against most SEC teams than we do with, say, defensive recruits, and can affor to be much more picky with our offensive recruits) and those recruits going to ole miss, state and mizzou are the type of recruits that the Big 12 is missing out on now. OU has been extremely hampered by our move. tu is no longer receiving their top 2-3 in state choices for recruits on either side of the ball, really.
Basically, our move has totally dicked the Big 12 and boosted the image of the SEC to 25 million more people.
