Thank you for ONCE AGAIN responding with this deflection.
What deflection? I posted something factual about why Texas A&M can’t achieve elite status.

That's true. That is an advantage that Georgia and LSU have over both Alabama and A&M. It' less of an advantage now, but it is still a large factor in Georgia's favor, particularly given the amount of talent in-state.
Are there any other advantages?

LSU will never again get to "elite" status because all LSU players quit.....school.

This is what I was going to say. UGA is really the only premiere FB program in their state.
The counter to that in Texas is the just sheer volume of players.
But also to your point, recruiting is a national game now.

Recent success/public perception, but that can change.

Show me empirical evidence they wont. See how that works simpleton? Just go ahead and start 30-40 more A&M threads. Obsessed

Why shouldn’t A&M have a great recruiting class? Largest student body in the SEC. Incredible campus and athletic facilities. Extensive and supportive alumni network providing networking and job opportunities after college, unlike any other. Largest endowment in the SEC. Good safe town supporting the university. NIL deals are just icing on the cake.

Brand recognition. Georgia hasn't won a damn thing in forever, but they're an elite brand that everyone coast to coast is aware of. That oval "G" is iconic. They also have a WAY better recruiting base.
This is gonna sting, and I'm not trying to be an a-hole here. But from an outsider's perspective, Texas A&M does not offer in one single way, a better package to a recruit than the University of Texas does.

If you choose to believe that the only reason A&M can be successful is because of NIL that's fine but it's naive and simplistic
Not to be an arse, but what's naive and simplistic is thinking this single class is a changing of the guard. There is nothing in A&M's history that suggests they'll become an elite program for an extended period of time.
But you're right on Saban. His reign of terror needs to end.
Considering how much crap UGA fans get for "1980!" you would think you have some historical perspective.
In the mid '80s to mid '90s A&M paid Jackie Sherrill the biggest contract ever at the time and build elite facilities. Over the next period of time we won 7 Conference Titles plus another undefeated season, beat Texas 10 of 11, LSU 5 Straight, and OU 4 Straight. We set virtually every record for winning in the old SWC and had a ridiculous record at Kyle Field. The only thing we didn't do was win a NC and the only thing that stopped us was the sips ran the NCAA infractions committee and they came after us twice on what ended up being some pretty minor violations but they threw the book at us. After the 2nd round of NCAA hits we got nervous and stopped spending while our Texas, OU, and LSU all hired top coaches and built great facilities and they were buying players just as much as we ever did.
A&M is FAR wealthier and stronger in every way now than we were then, much less prior to our SEC move. None of that guarantees winning or a changing of the guard, still have to do it on the field. It does make it much, much more likely however. Talent and coaching is what wins in the end. The resources just allow you to get the talent and coaching.

You said exactly what I would have said. Georgia is currently the better program based on recent past and soon-to-be-played NC game.
It can change, and it starts with recruiting.

Agreed. Multiple out of state schools are just as close to Atlanta as UGA and technology makes it less likely for kids to get home sick. NIL will also make kids feel less homesick.

You can put lipstick on a pig but A&M will always be pussys scared to fight

Why is their "package" better?
You've got to be specific.
Brand recognition comes with national attention. We didn't get that at all until we came to the SEC.

UGA has SEC hardware - so that perception is earned.
But in recruiting, kids care about exposure, development, and being prepared for the next level. Anyone can easily point to recruits not living up to their potential while at tu. The NFL draft reflects development, W/L record reflects it as well. Losing to Kansas re-inforces that tu is not superior.
So there are some clear things A&M can point to when making that argument.

So by your account the fact that Georgia sells more tshirts nationally they are automatically entitled to elite status and recruits must get your permission to look at little ole Aggieland?

i think it’s hilarious that so many are whining about our class.
Jimbo Fisher has been signing Top 5 classes for the past 8 years. He gets the #1 class and everyone freaks out because they can’t understand why.
No need to “explain” it. I just suggest you get used to it.

Boy y’all are softer than baby shite over there.
No wonder Texas needed baws from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia to come over and actually establish a state.
You can hope that shiny new internet recruiting ranking will change things but even Bear Bryant couldn’t win at that shite hole

When you have to name this much non football related stuff to sell your football program, then you might not have a football program worth selling.
