Martell's father: Hiring of Mazzone led to son's decommitment

It really sounds like Mazzone was trying to push Martell away, , between offering the other QBs and the quotes from this article. Really hope that isn't how Mazzone operates, he seemed like an old school straight forward kind of guy.

He seems to have been trying to walk the tightrope that we see in place frequently these days where one guy is the key to several other commitments. That one guy was Martell, and even though Mazzone didn't really want him, he needed to string him along as long as possible to keep the interest from the other guys in his recruitment "posse" up, so he didn't just straight up tell him, "We don't want you because I want gunslingers over 6' and you are a little scrambler".

I don't know how to feel. Times like this I almost miss Texags telling me what my emotions should be.

Numbers seems to go pretty hard core negative on Sumlin. How objective and reliable is Hamm? What bathroom did he corner Martell in?

I'd rather this than us hang everything on Tate and him decommit at the last minute.

1) I think Tate was going to decommit eventually anyway. I've always been leery of him being a fame-seeking Kyler type. I'd rather it happen now. The associated decommits from his posse are to be expected. Again, rather they happen now so we can move on to other targets than later, when we are up a creek.

2) I am not a fan of living and dying by the fragile little scrambler. Even Johnny eventually got hurt and it sunk us. I'd prefer a big tall NFL type who will almost exclusively just pass, and that's more in line with what Mazzone wants/needs for his system anyway.

So really the only thing the staff did wrong was Morehead's tweeting.

They are so wrapped up in us right now

"Liucci and Hamm are so terrible!!!" Then the next their word is gospel again.

I honestly just throw out anything negative they say about the staff. They have an agenda. At least Liucci has talked openly about his feud with the staff. They feel as though they should benefit more financially from A&M rise in the SEC. They are pissed about the staffs obligations to the SEC Network and Aggiefblife.

My biggest complaints about Sumlin have been his loyalty to his coaching staff and failing to recruit over current committed players. I honestly don't think he had changed. Mazzone seems willing to get the players he feels his offense needs to win, regardless of Sumlin's promises to a commit and Aaron Moorehead's belief in loyalty. This will be an interesting dynamic to watchin the future.
