re: ESPN has Texas A&M ranked #1

A&M, I fear, has a brief window of opportunity to take that next step forward and it has to be in the next year or two. Say what you will about the Whorns ability to screw up a wet dream, but once they are in the SEC they'll start gobbling up recruits from Texas who were holding out to play in the SEC. That is going to cut into A&M's big advantage.

I think people underestimate how many good recruits there are in the state, sure some years may be a bit thin at a certain positions but there’s lots of great athletes in this state, both schools will continue to get “theirs”.

Yes the sec move helped A&M, but we’ve also heavily invested in better facilities and are pouring resources/support into the program at a much greater rate than we ever did in the Big12/SWC.

Timing for A&M will be just like anybody else: putting together the right recruiting classes, having a good coaching staff on hand, catching other teams in the conference on a slight down year, and luck.
