So...... Private.... you confirming that jimbo will FINALLY achieve something by 2026-2027. Maybe by then, he'll have at least won the SECW.

Kids being on campus doesn't mean anything. Of course, for ATM, signing good players doesn't really mean anything either.

Yet, no laws broken. No offers made. Only facts stated. Carry on.

Looking at the class of 23 at 24/7. I see no 5 stars, and five 4 stars, one 3, and ranking of 60 for Aggy. You have three five stars visiting and Saban has three 5 star verbals. Sark and Smart have two five star verbals each. Having them visit is nothing to brag about. Most teenagers love road trips. It is about getting them to commit that matters at this stage. And so far for 2023, Jimbo has not kept up with the big boys.



So far…

I believe they drained the water from the pool and filled it with cash.

People don't realize that last year at this time (pool party weekend), the only five star we had committed was Weigman, and he wasn't a five star just yet by the services ... Apparently the pool party was the start of our class last year, and will be again this year.

Oh, and the current players are helping the staff recruit this weekend as well. Never hurts

Most A&M fans are going to have to realize that Fisher plays the long game. He doesn't get a ton of early commits because he is always chasing players that "have no business coming to A&M"

I think we will have a small, T10 class with some truly elite prospects. That's okay, since only 11 seniors are graduating this year

Everyone has NIL collectives now. I don't think putting a bunch of sweatty money in paper sacks for recruits at pool side and playing stupid and calling it NIL money is going to work out for you like last year...Hookers and blow won't work out either. The kids are talking amongst each other about NIL and know what the others have been offered and know what their value is. In other words, gimmicks and old school bag money shenanigans are dead. A&M will have to compete with other collectives now...It's going to be expensive...

Im not sure the NCAA will let the old school shenanigans slide this time around either since Saban put the spotlight on your asses..

If I were A&M I’d be very careful. Everyone - as well as the NCAA- knows what’s been going on there. It won’t be so easy to buy a class with everyone watching. And I’d curb that over the top excitement about visiting recruits too. Getting recruits to visit doesn’t mean much. High school kids like recruiting visits. They will almost go anywhere that offers a free weekend - even that dingy little place in the middle of nowhere Texas

Yes everyone knows the kids are making money, just like everyone knows the NCAA’s existence is holding on by a thread.

The court says they can make money no matter what you envious racist’s think.

There are still rules and the Aggies don’t seem capable of following them. It is a major violation to pay players or promise to pay players to come to your school. Once the player is signed and on the team NIL opens the door to money. Not before
No top notch player would go to that hell hole in Texas without being promised a truckload of money. I’ve seen the place and witnessed their lewd culture and if I were a recruit it would take many many millions and still I’d hold my nose.

If I had a dollar for every time an Aggie misquotes the Supreme Court, then I could start my own NIL program.
