Loading up on high school 5 stars, especially big money for each one, is no longer a good thing.
You're spending your boosters' NIL war chest on guys who likely won't contribute right away, and half of whom may hit the portal in a year if they aren't locked in starters.
Yup, a lot of dead money on those 5-*s. Meanwhile they're doing some training, physical maturing, and then hit the portal to test the market after a few highlights are captured.

The answer is money. Y'all have lots of it, underperforming athletes want all of it; y'all give it to them, declare yourselves recruiting national champs. Entitles newly rich athletes don't play hard or well; Aggy finishes 8-4 which is good enough for gay farmers and whatnot to send more $$
repeat process since 1939
I knew Aggy liked to celebrate in September, but they've done moved it up into August!

lol.
Lots of people in here believing Elko will have the same results as Jimbo.
I’m a prove it guy just as MUCH as the next guy but I think if you truly believe Elko will have the same results as Jimbo with these recruits I think you’re being a tad thick.
But I get it. Aggies suck. Gay farmers. Yeah. Will Elko beat LSU three years in a row?
Who knows.

I loathe these threads.
They are perfect fodder for alters.
But I will say that Elko is different than Jimbo by a country mile.
In every aspect. None more so than recruiting.

Uhhhh... it's called buying players? The same thing you did in 2022.
When blue chip players from outside of TX are considering you guys, it's almost exclusively about the money.
You'd think with all that oil money, you guys would have something to show for it since 1939.

I am glad we are buying positions that cost a ton in the portal. We will see how it works out.

Can someone … anyone? … provide the name of any Yell Leader in the history of Texas A&M’s who was “gay?”
(asking for the Longhorns on the board. You’re welcome, sips, but no thanks necessary)

I actually don’t think about their sex lives at all. But for accuracy’s sake, they get more tail on campus than just about anyone.

Yeah the ag at the stros game last night was going on and on about all the tail he was going to get at the pride parade after. We had to ask him to chill with the comments because there were kids around.

In what way? He has the same mechanisms behind him that Jimbo did, which is overpay for 5*s and somehow make it all work....because that is your entire plan

What’s the definition of “gay” here?
OR…
Can’t speak to the second definition. However, the first…

How come A&M has gay farmers. Jizz jars, bad architecture, a bad football program that has zero trophies…does not own the all time records anywhere…. But has five five stars and is whipping your asses in recruiting
Let us know when those recruits win a national championship….or a playoff game….or an SEC Championship…or just make the SECCG

I will say this. It’s very strange how often you mention A&M being “gay”. The truth is A&M is actually probably more conservative than just about any other school in the country.
We have a Republican presidential library on our campus for heavens sake. Certainly as large as we are we have gay pride marches like any campus our size would, but in reality the yell leaders are almost always ROTC guys and they are usually extremely conservative.
Additionally they are literally chased by ladies. Like constantly.
Not saying we never had one that wasn’t gay. But the premise that A&M has more gay people than average actually is the opposite of that.
The gay people I know actually avoid A&M because of its conservative values.
It makes for fun rivalry banter but Austin is well known to be the city that embraces gay rights. It’s something they frequently advertise.
Yet their fans make fun of A&M and call them gay.
Which is actually very weird.

Nope
That would be Liberty U
Oral Roberts U
BYU
Hillsdale
You're not even in the top 25.

How about this former yell leader and current three dollar bill, Ricky P.?

It’s exceedingly rare that I disparage Texas A&M University. Exceedingly rare.
I will talk trash to those ags on this board if they deserve to be called out for stupidity. Otherwise I just try to keep it light and, at least to myself, humorous.
If you have not noticed the way I post, and how I respond to posts, and think I’m some kind of empty shite talker…

Okay. I’ll clarify. The most conservative school in Texas. By far.
Name a school in Texas more conservative than A&M.
Just one.
My overall point remains. Gay people in general avoid A&M.
Not that that’s a good thing, but it’s certainly not the narrative you’re selling.
