By the way, did TexasAgs sweat just a little when Trey was tweeting about how he was receiving more love for Arkansas fans than anywhere else?

Of course, he still maintains it was a great trip. I can't blame some of those guys for taking trips to other schools even if they have their minds made up though.

I don't blame them. However I am not sure I would visit Fayetteville. I'd go to Miami or something.

Even if you knew you were going to have girls pimped out to you? Addison is visiting Oregon, probably to get some of that Nike money

Yeah it's been a rough weekend I'd say


We just landed DeVante Harris and its more likely we land Thomas Johnson than lose Monroe or Thompson. We will also add Polo M soon, maybe Tomme Mark too

BTW, Harris is a lot higher rated than Blake. Harris is a Rivals 250 guy and Thomas Johnson is Top 40 in the nation.

And IDGAF about losing Wilson. I wasn't a fan of his.

Neither do I, but Blake hurts (even though he wasn't a real commit) and Thompson would hurt as well if it actually happens. Considering how well things have been going it should probably be expected we would lose a couple guys I guess.

Yea Blake has never really been solid. Seems like he was looking for every single excuse to not be an Ag. He never bought in to the AggSwagg.

Losing Thompson though would be devastating. This is the kind of guy we want on our team. Some 6'2", hard hitting, mean mother fricker that wants to light somebody up. We need to hold on to him. Losing Wilson hurts, but we are good on the OL front for now. We need to get studs at that position next year though.

4* DE Polo Manukainiu committed today

We should be able to switch Pope from TCU, and Thomas Johnson probably commits to us. Also got Isaiah Golden for 2013

Twitter blowing up tonight about Pope texting some people that he already committed. I've thought Pope looked really good regardless of what position he plays so I hope it's true

Reading the Houston Chronicle this morning and seeing the Texas top 100 by positions really put into perspective how good this TAMU recruiting class is. They had a ton of the top players, many of whom were at the top of their positional rankings. Congrats!


Any other news it really put into perspective how far TCU has to go when this is by far their best recruiting class and they still only had a few top 100 texas prospects.

This has been an incredible class for us, and Sumlin has done a fantastic job holding it together while adding quality players like Polo, Pope, Thomas Johnson, etc. Softened the blow of this season a little bit. It will be interesting to see if TCU's recruiting sees a jump at all from their conference move.

Just looked at the aTm class for the first time. You Aggies need to spend more effort on getting 5.7/3-star guys and coach them up. Hold off on the 4&5 star guys until you get you feet wet for 10 years or so in the SEC.

If you keep doing it like this you will hurt some feelings over at Arky.

Arkansas is going to cry if we win an SEC title before them

Even if not, we still have 20 years to win one faster than they did. Which is no surprsise. We always won more conference titles than they did

CGSC, it's a running joke on Arkansas with the 5.7 3 star recruits. Not a knock on us :smh:
