Making "Final Decision" after Sr. Year..........that doesn't sound like a solid commitment......
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The top ranked player in the ESPN Junior 300, Greg Little, has been committed to Texas A&M since June 20 of 2014, but that hasn’t kept many of the nations top programs from attempting to knock down the door in hopes of swaying the 6-foot-6, 308-pound Texan.
The nation's No. 1-ranked offensive tackle made a first visit to someone other than the Aggies since committing in February, making the short trip north to take a look at the Oklahoma Sooners. As it turns out, that will be just one of many hurdles the Aggies have to clear to sign the 2016 Under Armour All-America Game selection. "Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, UCLA and USC are coming at me hard,” Said Little. "And Auburn and Florida, too. The first week of June, I’m going to take visits to the Southeast.
I’ll go to Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida and some other schools like that. Then in the middle of the summer I’m going to go to the West Coast to see USC, UCLA and Stanford. I want to try and get up to Ohio State, too." Little, who lists the Aggies and Bruins as the schools he talks to the most, says building a relationship with new offensive line coach Dave Christensen is going to be key for keeping his commitment to Texas A&M. "[A&M] is telling me to just be patient. They have a new O-line coach, so we have to build a good connection. I just have to get to know him, because I think we have only talked a couple of times. I need to get to know him a little more."
For Texas A&M fans hoping or expecting Little to make a final declaration by the end of the summer, that is unlikely to happen. "I will probably have a true final decision after my senior season. Probably at the beginning of January."

Meh. At this point, I'd still be confident if I were Aggies. Sounds like a kid who is extremely highly rated but wants to take visits and be courted by others before shutting things down and deciding on the original school.
Unless he publicly decommits shortly after a visit to another school, there isn't much to discuss.

With a guy like Little, the battle is never really over until the signature is in. But A&M is in very, very good shape with him.
In fact, we have a fair shot to get Hudson back on board as well. Hudson and Little in the same class would be ridiculous.

Doesn't sound like Aggies have much to worry about. As long as Murray is there, Little is coming too.

Just making his recruitment at least a little interesting.
Posted on 3/19/15 at 9:23 am to Dlab2013
Let's just hope Little is bigger in his recruitment than that little, giant recruitment troll last year

If Murray plays baseball I will be very worried. If Murray is at A&M I'm pretty confident, he's going to take visits though and I'm sure waver and play the game

If SC can get an OV, we'll be a contender. Little is a legacy from his dad, and he's got a mentor in Shaun Smith (also a former Gamecock player.)

Will Murray go first round in MLB?

No idea honestly. If it becomes clear to scouts that he wants to play football in college then there's no way he will obviously, regardless of how good he is

Believe the family set the number at 3mil. If he gets that or close, he's probably gone. At least that's what I read on one of the A&M boards.

If A&M gets back to winning, then he'll be an aggy.
I say the same thing about LSU. Both need to step it up if we want to keep reeling in these classes

If he can get anywhere near that he better go to Basball. He is too small for the next 2 levels.

I'm from Texas, and I covered the other dual threat QB in this class that was #1/#2 depending on which site you looked at, but I honestly don't understand why everyone thinks Murray is the second coming of Christ.
He's good, don't get me wrong, I've seen him play several times and he makes it look easy, but he was also playing on the best team in the country. I know Manziel had success and was on the short side, but Murray is 5'10. I know he's listed a bit taller, but I'm 6' ft and was surprised how much I had on him.
The kid is a playmaker, no doubt about it, but for some reason I just think he's going to struggle. Maybe it's just me. Who knows.

None of that has anything to do with the fact that if Murray ends up on campus we likely hold on to Little.

Nice round about way of saying stidham is better

On rumors he's simply keeping his commitment to avoid the A&M fan fallout...
(Laughing.) "Nobody besides myself is making the decision. I wouldn't be a commit if I didn't plan on going to A&M."

I'm not saying I believe this, but all fanbases have some crazies. Just look at when a Tennessee recruit decomitts. The Tennessee fan Twitter mafia goes on full attack
