Our ceiling is probably 9-3 this year, but in reality it doesn't really matter. We won't win anything of substance (The West, SEC or be in the CFP) barring a miracle and next year is shaping up to be a 5-7 type of season. The attrition/recruiting decline seen in the 14/15/16 classes will catch up with us and we'll be starting Hubenak or a true/redshirt freshman. We will lose almost everything that could make this year's defense special and lack anything of note to replace them with.

It's a pretty depressing time because barring coaching acumen he has yet to come close to demonstrating, Sumlin's termination is inevitable and it probably won't occur until 2017 because this team is probably gonna go around 8-4. We'll give him another year to dig us deeper into a hole as we fight it out with Big XII teams for three stars.

It makes it hard to get excited because everyone with any objective sense knows it's coming but we can't do anything about it because of his contract. So we sit and wait for the bottom to fall out.

That was a real crappy class last year... None of those kids needed to play this year. That recruiting class was about building depth. You should watch the recruiting show from last year's signing day (LINK ). Btw...Stephen McGee actually said that Colton Prater was his favorite recruit in this class.

Inexplicably, several have shown up in the opening day depth chart. Prater, McCollum, Nick Starkel, Clifford Chattman, and Aaron Hansford have all been blowing people away at camp.

You also continue to forget that the Aggies added Keith Ford, Trevor Knight, Kalvin Cline, TD Moton, and Kirk Merritt as transfers already. Knight, Ford, and Cline are already in the 2 deep. Merritt is already blowing people away with his athleticism.
