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.

Now, things change a bit if we go out and get Stidham.

I won't try to talk you off the ledge. Just hope you realize you are talking about 7 players out of 80 scholarship guys on this roster, of which 4 will still have eligibility left. If we get that many kids drafted, recruiting and/or A&M's attractiveness to transfers is going to likely take off.
Every single one of these guys has multiple All-American/4-5 star players waiting in the wings to step in and play.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm excited to have Starkel on our roster
Comments about Starkel at Elite 11
IIRC he was described as having DQ or dude quality. Intangibles like work ethic, leadership and coachability. DQs are thermostats, not thermometers. They dictate the temperature of whatever room they're in. I'm excited to have that kind of influence here.
