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.
You are soooooo far offbase there I won’t even address it. The recruits know better. And the top recruits are recruiting each other to come to A&M.

People are confused and jealous because A&M is a program that "shouldn't" have the number one recruiting class.
Remember when people said Ole Miss shouldn't have a top 5 recruiting class in 2016?

That's why I think he has really not been paying attention.

You are the most ill-informed and worst poster on this board next to pthephen. In fact……you are just about the same but for Florida. Log off and look in the mirror. It’s not good

I am not saying that A&M is better than Georgia. I am simply talking about the elements. What does Georgia have that A&M lacks?
The one thing that Georgia has in my opinion is a carved out recruiting space in their home state. You don’t nearly own your own state in recruiting, and they pretty much do. There are so many teams just near Texas that live off Texas talent. Hell, Oklahoma and Okie State would have to close down football operations without North Texas talent.
You may have a #1 class here and there, but it is much harder to have impactful recruiting classes year in and year out without being able to both recruit for need and want with the competition you have in your region of the country.

I don’t understand why A&M fans are upset ppl are saying NIL boosted their class. Sure, Jimbo has recruited top 8 classes since being at A&M, but this is his first #1 class and it happened year 1 of NIL. Schools will have to adapt or die with NIL recruiting. Just so happened A&M adapted.

- These recruits all know each other. Get a few, and the rest recruit each other. We also have an exceptional recruiting staff, especially on the DL
- Our facilities are some of the best out there
- Many recruits were told CS is a podunk town. Then they visited and saw otherwise.
- Our game day atmosphere is one of the best in CFB
- We have put a lot of lower-rated recruits in the NFL, which speaks to development
- Have some highly recruited others like Von Miller and Myles Garrett. Von Miller wasn't as highly recruited but not a three star either
- Obviously the school is rich as well, which doesn't hurt with the extensive Aggie Network and NIL.
- Get used to it. Every class we sign is at least T10, and will be as long as Fisher is here

Reality- If what A&M did was legal, we'll all copy it, and things will go back to normal.
There is no such things as “normal”. Get over yourselves. Your Georgia. While it is correct that no school has done less with more than Texas A&M, we are only slightly ahead of a Georgia for that moniker.
When you lose to Alabama, it’s quite possible our schools will places and Georgia will be the new number 1.

2013 but yes, I do remember. Ole Miss was cheating their asses off, just as everyone said they were.
But it's legal now, so we all gotta get on board.

I am rooting for Georgia mainly because I see the amount of crap they get from other fans on this site. As for A&M, I kind of like being the bad guy. If others don't like it, I just don't care ...

I’m not sure they’re that close. One has gone to the playoffs twice and won games each time. The other went from pre season top 10 to a 4 loss team.

That begs the question: why didn't anyone else?

Idk. I don’t think it’s an issue A&M did. Every school had the opportunity and A&M simply took advantage of it. What A&M would’ve done without NIL is irrelevant because the NIL era is here. At the same time it’s fair to acknowledge NIL boosted this class.

There is nothing in A&M's history that suggests they'll become an elite program for an extended period of time.
What does this mean? And how long is the relevant history?
How long has A&M been stacking top 10 classes?
How long has A&M had the best facilities?
How long has A&M been capable of poaching national championship coaches from traditional blue bloods while taking coordinators from schools like ND and LSU?
How long has Texas A&M been the kind of program that can keep a head coach despite more lucrative offers from places like LSU?
People act as if Texas A&M’s mediocre history from decades ago matters. Of course it does not.
People act as if Texas A&M’s mediocre history with shitty coaches like Fran, Mike Sherman, and Kevin Sumlin matters, and that it is somehow determinative of the future. Of course this is nonsense.
What people are seeing is only the beginning of a whole new level of power program, fueled by a ridiculously large and unified alumni base with massive pockets, and an insatiable desire to win. A new era.

I can only speak for LSU, but there were bigger fish (or shrimp boat captains) to fry in the last year or so to keep up with much else. Hopefully, a lesson learned for the new guy in town.

LSU would’ve done much better during a year when they didn’t have a lame duck coach.
Kelly will elicit far greater NIL gains.

Yes ma'am...we can only hope that Kelly's midwest prowess translates to the gulf coast. The NIL factor is a big one, but only one part of the equation.
