I wanted the OT Tennessee just got. He had the best size. Oh well.

Yeah, 247. I see that.

Him skipping bayou splash was a sign.

Atkins earned the honor after turning in one of the most iconic season in LHSAA history by making a school record 219 tackles, 180 solo tackles and 27 tackles for a loss as well as having 10 sacks, 2 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown. Atkins also returned a kickoff for a score for good measure. The tackles, solo tackles and tackles for a loss were the best totals in the state regardless of classification and his solo tackle statistics were listed as the best undisputed total in the nation.

Who else do the Aggies have at LB in this cycle?

That might be it. I think we have 4 guys. There are a few uncommitted dudes left but not from Texas it seems. Bama is trying to poach T Smith with a recent offer, but I think he will stick.

Yeah, y'all probably have an advantage there. We have a pretty young LB group.

It’s going to be interesting bc Durkin moved himself to LB coach, which is what he’s coached at other stops. I wonder if it’s helped in recruiting and if a change on the field will be noticeable.

One guy you guys might want to check out when you watch A&M play a game this year is Edgerrin Cooper, a Louisiana boy. This year is pegged as his break out year, he will be draft eligible if he was a big year.

Most LSU fans are pretty familiar with cooper. He was a guy people who follow recruiting really wanted but O apparently slow played him.

Big loss on our side, but that’s what happens when your coach prioritizes stars over evals.

Which is funny when Kelly's first 2 classes were better than Ed's.

But that's a portal effect.

Cooper was a steal. Guy is a pure baller.

While it appeared to be a foregone conclusion that Atkins would flip to A&M back in the summer, it now seems as though he will be sticking with LSU as he has shut down his recruitment.

Xavier Atkins

Utah Offered.. Do Want

And no I’m not kidding.. those guys have an incredible track record for identifying “dudes” that aren’t necessarily “dudes”

I don’t think we are recruiting him though.. just wanted to say that I wish we were.

TS.. now that’s a guy I heard that we want really bad.
