So out of the top ten players in the state. A&M got more or less than years past?

I think we probably got one or two more "Top 10" than we normally do (especially if you are considering Derrick Griffin who would have signed with us if we thought he could qualify).

The big thing is WHO we got.

RSJ - For a long time considered the #1 player in state, dropped some at the end but still highly coveted.

Derrick Griffin - Stud WR, never gave Texas the time of day, will go JUCO but is still saying he is working towards being an Aggie some day.

DL - A position that Texas has dominated at in the state for several years, they were blanked on. We have 6 from in the state and 3 of them are studs by any measure.

QB - They signed Swoopes who is a project at best, was dropped from the #1 Dual Threat to an Athlete based upon his shitty performance this year. We signed Kohl Stewart (who had some big time offers and would have had more but he was expected to sign with the MLB ... projected top 10 draft pick but wants to go to college) and Kenny Hill who is a national top 10 dual threat guy and already being projected as our next starter by a lot of people after JFF leaves.

A lot of these guys may not be state top 10 (I mean ... there is a limited number of spots in that group) but almost every one could have gone to Texas if they wanted and in prior years, probably most would have.
