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.

Kline is a nobody, Moton is out of shape and likely won't play much this year, Merritt can't play til next year, Knight has three years of discouraging game film and won't be here next season anyway and Ford has fumbling problems and wears down easily.

A&M is gonna lose Garrett, Hall, Watts, Evans, RSJ, Reynolds and maybe Wilson after this year. We will be starting Hubes, Starkel or a true freshman at QB. They can praise Starkel all they want, the fact is he was an "Oh shite, we gotta offer someone" signee. He has no business here based on HS film. If he pans out, it's complete luck rooted in a necessity recruitment.

The biggest issue is we have no pass rushers waiting in the wings. Johnson, Cunningham, etc. are below average edge rushers. We have nothing exciting to replace the losses at safety. Frankly, we'll lack legit NFL talent across the board next year apart from the WR, DT and corner positions.
