He was a good recruiter but not one of our best. The Top 3 are easily McKinney, Beaty, and Price.
Well you are in the minority with that opinion among your own fan base.

Really? I've never heard Yates listed as a better recruiter than any of those 3. McKinney was RC last year before getting promoted. Beaty is the current RC and is a maniac. Price has done a great job and is a big reason we have brought in some of the ridiculous talent we have on the DL in the '13, 14, and '15 Classes.
Yates has gotten us in the conversation with a lot of Louisiana guys but how many has he closed? 2014 is one of the best years for DB's in Texas and yet we are basically out of it at the end for the consensus Top 2 (Adams and Brown). He's done well but he's replaceable. Yates got his reputation for taking 2 and 3 Star guys at Boise and make them NFL players, haven't seen that yet at A&M. Maybe he could get there but it wasn't obvious.
I'd have been fine with him staying but he isn't someone I am losing sleep over. Nick Harvey has already said it doesn't really affect him.

I'd agree with Aggressor. I don't think it is a knock on Yates as much as a testament to how good the other 3 are at recruiting. The timing is not good, but I've got faith in the Cobra to make a great hire
