As has already been stated, Martel leaving is not a surprise, and the other kid was just looking for an excuse to decommit too.
What is a problem is that we have no damage control from our football program. Perception does matter and right now from the outside A&M looks like a dumpster fire. We can pretend all we want that it's not a bad thing that Kyler left cause he's a little sissy and Kyle Allen wasn't man enough to compete but all recruits see is two 5 stars leaving within weeks of each other and wonder "what the hell is going on over there. I don't know if I want to play for a program that has stuff like that happening".
Sumlin needs to get off his arse and start doing damage control, it's just like the NFL rumors that resurfaced this year that he did nothing to combat. Normally a 5 star decommiting is just a small news story, decommits happen all the time, but we turn it into front page ESPN by handling the situation like crap. I really don't think this staff is cut out to run a program this big, we aren't getting a good return on what we paid for.

This
Perception is reality, and Sumlin apparently sucks at both. He is getting paid WAY TOO MUCH for such a poor off-field performance. This problem is enhanced and magnified by the continual decline of on-field performance.
If I am running the AD, I am already reaching out to the agents of replacement candidates and being ahead of the game when the time comes. I would be prepared to close a deal and announce a replacement immediately after the season ends if we don't see something special this fall.

At least we're on ESPN. No such thing as bad publicity, right?

Sumlins pride and refusal to communicate with the media has definitely hurt
