9 WR's!!
How many do they have on their current roster. I see multiple transfers in the not so distant future....
Hats off to Sumlin.

Who decommits/transfers first: a TAMU WR or a Bama RB?

We only have 4 or 5 non-freshmen WRs on the roster next year. Especially after losing Thomas Johnson, we needed a bunch in this class. Also, we aren't really at 34 commits. A couple have not done the classroom work necessary to get to sign a LOI.

RSJ is overrated

And RSJ said he choose ATM over LSU because LSU has too many WRs on our roster…..

Good for us, because the depth chart at aTm will kill any WR recruits for next year.
In all honesty, 9 WRs sounds good, but they need to recruit linemen if they want to win the SEC. 15 WRs on the team doesn't matter becasue only 5 can get in the game at any one time.

People like to talk about guys like our OTs and Moore leaving, but we lose a ton of WRs. Swope, Uzoma, Mcneal, and Thomas Johnson were key cogs in this offense. Basically we return Evans as the only starter for a team that runs 4 WRs most of the time. Now you can see why we needed not just a big WR haul, but a talented one.
Jaquay, Stevens, RSJ, Kyrion, Gonzales, etc are all some of the best WRs in their respective states. They all have a chance to see the field next year.

It was critical for A&M to load up on high end WR talent this year and they have. Most of the big producers from this year are gone so A&M needs guys that can step in Day 1, esp in a system that runs 5 Wides often and 4 WR/TE/H Backs on most other snaps. This offense just doesn't work without WR's that can get open and make plays.
Another factor is most of these guys are big because A&M stresses WR blocking in a huge way both for designed runs/JFF scrambles and to make short passes into big gainers. As great as Mike Evans was catching the ball this year he was even more of a beast blocking. Lots of video of 6'5 Evans crushing 5'10 DB's this season.
It is still a very balanced class for A&M, every position is addressed. Honestly I am just as excited about the defensive recruits.
