I think Elko has the chance to be good.
There aren't many sure things at head coach these days, that's why I'm happy with BK.

What makes you think he has the chance to be good? He was 16-9 overall at Duke with losses to 5-7 Ga Tech, 6-7 Kansas, and 3-9 UVA. He was 1-4 against top 25 teams, 1-4 on the road in the ACC.
He might end up being good but his coaching record at Duke is pretty mediocre, his staff is pretty mediocre, the recruits hes bringing in are mediocre.
I dont think hes an upgrade at all over Jimbo other than hes cheaper.

So the new strategy is to stack transfer classes full of out of state 2-3*'s from schools like Troy and Old Dominion with zero ties to aggy? Make it make sense Aggy!!!!
No, do you people not understand how NFL talent evaluation works? Half of the players in the NFL are from G5 schools. You should run your system with the portal exactly like how the NFL evaluates draft talent and free agency. It should be done completely different from high school recruiting.
With the portal it should be entirely based around production because a lot of these guys grew or developed later. The portal in turn allows them to get noticed prior to the NFL. You shouldn’t based the portal around unproven production.
I think schools are finally beginning to realize this and the game is changing. A lot of the guys A&M took this year had offers to other big schools too. Further, you also now have to consider the money aspect. A G5 starter will be cheaper than a P5 starter and you’re not going to be able to break the bank every single year for P5 starters because even if you win the NC, money is not infinite and eventually you have to bring it back down to reality.
Unless there are rule changes, talent evaluation will become the next big thing in college football when it comes to the portal. Moneyball is here.

funny how yall were spinning a few years ago. The only way to win is to stack as many 5 stars as possible no matter what! Yalls echo chamber of a media puts yall in lock step, it's impressive.

A lot of words for basically saying Aggy can’t attract top 4-5*’s anymore, so they’re desperate and having to sign 2-3*’s now from Troy.
Good strategy Aggy!! Z????

Gotchas is all you get on the Rant. No actual thought goes into anything on this site.

They don't care about replacing 5 star guys with players from Old Dominion and Cal Poly.
LSU lost more 4/5 star players to the transfer portal than did A&M.

Wrong again aggy. Aggy always spin their failures (which is their entire athletic program). Elmo is turning aggy in to an FCS school.
"According to recent data, the majority of NFL players come from Power Five schools. In fact, a staggering 69.1% of NFL players are from Power Five schools, with the remaining 30.9% coming from Group of Five schools and other divisions."

Is somebody mad that the 2023 Texas football team finished better than any aggie football team in the last 84 years?

Your stupidity is obvious. Research the 34 five stars from the class of 2022. More than half are no longer with the team they signed with out of high school. Most of those transfers did not step up to a better program. The great majority couldn’t beat out the lower ranked yet established players ahead of them for playing time on the teams they left. About 20% aren’t even playing football…due to issues and injuries. Only a handful have actually contributed to their teams this past year as sophomores. Of those, those players that aren’t on a team in playoff contention, most will only play about six or seven games before opting out for the NFL. while I’m not a fan of Kifflin, no one has ever accused him of being dumb. Leaving emotion out of it, which is a better bet? Landing a so called 5 star, egotistical 17/18 year old kid, that the data shows will be a 60% odds on favorite who will never be a starter for your team or picking up a 20/21 year old kid that is a known reputation, work ethic, maturity and has established himself at the collegiate level? It was obvious the college game had passed up Jimbo Fisher in so many ways. This was just one other area as an example. So yeah, Aggies like Ole Miss, have watched and learned from teams like LSU, Texas et al and how they used the portal, not recruiting to get the missing piece of the puzzle to make a playoff run.

Not at all, not at all. You seem to be the one so caught up in rankings, haha. #3 vs A&M’s #4 in 2020, who cares? It’s not #1, which is what we are all chasing.

You know... it's not against the rules to hit the return key on your keyboard from time to time

i did a quick 2 minute research. 18% of that class falls into that category and that's because they're all from A&M
