re: Aggie recruiting class, the honest truth...

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.

we can only hope that Kelly's midwest prowess translates to the gulf coast.

It’s a great point.
One that other programs can’t make (correct me if I’m wrong).
Bielema may’ve had that prowess; but Kelly may now be the sole priest in that regard.

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.

---

I have no doubt that it boosted this class, but we were already recruiting top 10. This just gave us an extra edge.

I suspect that every school attempted to take advantage of the NIL, but could not do so on the scale that A&M has, which is a HUGE advantage we have over just about every other school and that will not change anytime soon.

Outsiders can have that perspective. And if they do they are simply uniformed. An outsider’s inability/refusal to understand the landscape doesn’t influence anything. If it did, A&M wouldn’t have out recruited Texas more often than not in recent years.

Agreed . . . you realize how much people just ignorantly accept what they read in the Sporting News without any sort of critical thinking or investigation. All that crap is served up by lazy beat writers that crank out puff pieces without ever talking to anyone.

They have zero idea about how the high school ranks work here or how Texas has been a dysfunctional running joke for a decade now with multiple coaching staffs being hired and fired and producing losing seasons.

But these know-nothings will learn soon.

But the Chicken Little A&M fans are scared that if they win a National Title with this class, people will put an asterisk by it because the used NIL to get the players. That's why they are so ball burstingly insistent on trying to create this narrative that it wasn't NIL that got this done.

---

All I’m seeing is A&M fans responding to this ridiculously weak narrative being pushed by jealous rivals.

If rival fans want to outrecruit A&M in this new environment, they should spend less time whining on the internet, and more time trying to grow and improve their universities, so that they produce more high earning alumni who want to give back. If they can’t do that, too bad. Be better or STFU.

Deal with it.

From where does your Texas A&M hatred originate?

He was stationed at Lackland and assumed he needed to become a sip fan. Got involved with shaggy and became a hyper sensitive t-shirt. He covers his allegiance by pretending he is a Gator.

You can scream all you want about those mean ole Aggies (in vain) but you will not found anywhere close to the percentage of “t-shirt” fans from A&M as almost any other large school. I would bet almost every Aggie poster here is an Aggie. Almost

Remember when A&M joined the SEC and the sips put up some outlandish billboard in Florida masquerading as trash talking A&M boosters?

Probably not a coincidence…

Yea that's why their alumni association isn't an alumni association, its a "former students." Then look at their historical graduation rates...
