I was perusing the different rosters around the league, and noticed that several of your players from the 2013 class are no longer on the team.

Can one of the knowledgeable Aggies please post all the guys that have left or been dismissed from that class? TIA

They had players leave for different reasons. They signed a good QB but he decided to play baseball instead, for example.

They are. But it happens, both Alabama and Auburn have had Criminal 4s...

It happens. A&M had a good class last year and a good class this year.


With their spread offense they will be beating Bama's arse for many years to come while Saban stands on the sidelines confused.

Losing a quarter of your class in one year is pretty uncommon. It also drops their overall ranking in 2013 from 9th to around 16th.

Oxymoron if I've ever seen one. Obvious alter name.

Which is still a pretty good class. Better than our ten year average or anything Mississippi State has done recently.

We are a program that is trying to climb the ladder by jumping rungs. Rather than be a Tenn on the slow road to recovery, our program has been in the fast lane since the SEC move and we are taking a lot of risks.

Hence our taking early on some talented character risks to build recruiting momentum (which is now an unstoppable train), or paying Sumlin $5 million to not go to USC, or lawyering up Johnny instead of throwing him to the wolves, etc. We are taking risks all over the place, because we have a small window to make up a lot of ground.

Not really, there are plenty here. The fact you feel you have to label yourself this makes us nervous you don't get the feed from the mothership.

We are pretty good about sniffing out Aggie alters around these parts. It is pretty obvious when people don't get the newsletter. We would all respect you more if you came out today rather than try to pretend if that is the case.

If you are a real Aggie, than I will accept you the day your name is ironic.

Why are you trying to make this about Arkansas? I asked a simple question and I'm trying to get some insight on your team. This is a football discussion board after all. No need to get so upset.

And that's just after one year of attrition. Will be interesting to look back in a couple years at all the Sumlin recruits that prematurely left the team.

I am not upset. Just using examples and comparisons that make sense to you as an Arky fan. If that offends you going forward I can use some other program for my examples.

Then why don't you try discussing the OP instead of taking uninspired jabs at Arkansas.

I wish this board as a whole could just discuss a football topic without attacking the original poster's favorite team.

We had like 30 in that class. Only a couple of those gone will be missed. The rest couldn't get on the field.

How's his footwork and throwing mechanics. Sending a scouting report to Gus.

Could one of you soothsayers who knows everything about the future, whom TOTALLY predicted Auburn's 2013 success, go ahead and forward me this week's Powerball numbers? TIA.
