Have to win to keep momentum, no one questions that. The odds of winning when you bring in elite talent though are much better than without though.
A couple of years ago it was a big deal at A&M to land a 4 Star and a "stop the presses" deal if we got a 5 Star. Now the norm is 4 Stars with the expectation of at least a few 5 Stars to go with a couple of 3 Stars that the coaches see something in.
Is that any different than LSU or Bama? Nope. That's kind of the point though. The talent gap between A&M and the elite of the SEC is closing fast. It closes faster because while A&M is still light on their Jr/Sr classes (esp with Evans and Manziel leaving) the same problem happens at other SEC programs. The best kids leave at 3 years for the League.
Doesn't mean we will win and if we don't win we won't sustain it but it's hard not to be excited about the future as an Aggie.
