re: 2013 Texas A&M Football Recruiting Thread-Official

EXACTLY!

Big one coming up for the Aggies with "Friday night lights". A lot of guys going to be in town. I suspect the Aggies will get multiple commitments and add to the list. The news about LB Deon Hollins is very promising. That would be a big pickup if comes to fruition.

I was going to get you to name one kid in the past decade that was a three star recruits from Rivals who walked onto A&M's team

That's actually an easy question. Answer is Aaron Arterburn.

He didn't exactly walk on either. He was given the opportunity to gray shirt and instead paid his own way for a semester. He was on scholarship after that semester.

So far Sumlin has 5 offers for 2014, a big fast Running Back, an Offensive Lineman and three Cornerbacks(Scout).

Well this thread is officially crap

quote:

---

Sherman has signed/committed 88 three star ranked players(rivals)

Of which only 42 are still on the team (keep in mind that there are no players from the class of 2008 on A&M's roster...zero).

On 4/13/12 @6:08pm you posted:

2012 Roster:
5* players-3
4* players-16
3* players-51
2* players-5

Today you post our roster has 42-3* players which makes sense making room for up to 7 -4* and 12 more 3* players from the 2012 class(rivals) soon to be added to the 85 man roster.

My post indicates 9 more defensive players needed in "this class" (2013), not the past 2012 class.

I also want 11 more 4* defensive players by position in the 2014 and 2015 classes so we are finally on an even playing field with 3-deep winning defenses like 'bama, lsu, florida, ut, ou, etc by 2016-'17.

Of course I will follow Sumlin's progress on the 11 -4* defensive players by position to signing day!

Pope is an outstanding safety and would make the rotation if not starting by midseason as will the other two you mentioned but Pope's deal with Sumlin was he gets to try playing receiver first then maybe some time later safety.

We don't have a team this year that can beat the ranked teans we play but our fastest hope is to recruit 11 -4* defensive players this year by position to just start building a winning defense adding on 11 more 4* defensive players each of the next two years with S&C and good coaching build that winning defense.

Obviously Sumlin has to build an offense almost from scratch except for 5 O-line positions as well.

The actual exact numbers I don't follow but Sherman used to keep up to 120 sgned/committed players trying for the 85 man roster, down to 105 for part of the year, etc. all complying with ncaa rules.

That is where he stashed a lot of the 3* players he signed after the first year.

And of course you are exactly right about the 2008 class 3* players being gone as they sadly are being replaced by the 3* players in the 2012 class. And sadly Sumlin has already used 11 2013 commits less 3 decommits on three star ranked players instead of fours and fives which with the ones Sherman signed/committed less the 2008 class plus the 2012 class at every position is way too many to soon inprove our team to a winning level vs ranked teams!

It loked like both C Mike and Mathis were held out of last Saturdays scrimage(I was looking at recruits mostly so could have missed them) so we will start the season with uo to 25 or more 4*/5*'s and up to 60 or more 2*/3*'s totaling 85.

On Sumlin's arrival at A&M 'bama had signed 84 -4*/5* players the previous 5 years, florida 81, tu 81, lsu 78, etc. so A&M at only 25 now means these other teams on our sec schedukle still have 3 times the 4*/5* speed, size and athleticism we have?

Good posts!
