With eight days remaining until national signing day, Texas A&M sits comfortably in the top 10 nationally with its 26-member recruiting class. While anything can happen in the 11th hour, as it often does in the recruiting world, the Aggies are unlikely to encounter significant signing day drama that would shake up their No. 8 recruiting haul because more than a third of it is already on campus: Nine commits are enrolled for the spring semester, including the top five prospects.

Following a forgettable end-of-season stretch, during which the Aggies went 1-4 and fell from No. 4 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings to 8-5 and unranked, recruiting is still going well.

With a third straight 8-5 finish and national media speculating about the long-term future of Kevin Sumlin, how have the Aggies been able to secure the best recruiting class they’ve had in three years? One reason is Sumlin and his coaching staff’s ability to win recruiting battles the old-fashioned way: forging strong relationships.
