I’d settle for Jason’s prediction on LJ, Moko, & Malone. That’s a strong finish.

My opinions on LJ change from day to day. Usually based on how much my orange friends are chirping. They've been quiet lately so here is hoping. Also, would really like to get Thomas ...

Watch that and tell me that should play LBer. Could he? Absolutely. But you just HAVE to put the ball in his hands.

Everybody upping their confidence on LJ. Sounds like we are in pretty good shape there

I’m still worried at the trap, that program in Austin is nothing but gimmicks now.

Looks like the vibe is not so good for BTJ. Which sucks because I really want another stud WR in this class.

But a finish of Moko & LJ would be great.

If we don’t get BTJ WR is gonna be a big soft spot in an otherwise awesome class. And not really a spot where we can afford it now.

Banks and Brown (if he’s a WR) are great but we badly need guys who can stretch the field vertically and they just aren’t that type of player

Is Thomas that player? I know Jojo would have been.

Thomas is a obviously a much different player from Earle but yes I think so, as far as a bigger body receiver with some long speed who can separate and also make contested catches down field.

Dawson could be a nice player to add in the Earle mold I guess if we miss on Thomas

As I've seen elsewhere we need actual stud WR's that understand route running and blocking downfield. We have plenty of "upside" WR's in the pipeline already.

We need kids that can contribute pretty soon. Thomas is not that ...

I don’t see any immediate impact grad transfer WRs out there if that’s what you’re saying. We need the guys we have to develop and we need to keep bringing high ceiling players in if we want to be the type of program that competes at a high level every year. It’s not an either or proposition

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the concern at WR at all. Yes, we need to continue to recruit high ceiling guys (recent examples of Demas and Banks). But we return 3 guys who were injured last season along with all of our receiving production from a team that went 9-1.

Our two deep at WR and TE should consist of some combination of Ainias Smith, Caleb Chapman, Chase Lane, Cam Buckley, Jalen Preston, Hezekiah Jones, Jalen Wydermyer, and Baylor Cupp. That's a ton of experience and a number of high end players in the mix.

It would be nice to have BTJ. But even without him, we will have 12 scholarship WR's with an offense that typically plays only 3 at a time.

I’m not ready to give up on BT just yet. Fisher is awful good at closing, and I find it curious that a young man who has stayed out of the limelight even does a supposed video. So, one more day

That’s the plan. All the way from Australia.

LJ will too.

I guess Lsu isn’t so sure in BTJ.

This close could be a lot of fun.

According to class calcs

Land all 4 (Moko, LJ, BTJ, Malone) - 295.44
Land 3 (minus Malone) - 290.55
Land 2 (minus BTJ) - 286.06

No idea about BTJ. He's more of how LJ was for y'all. Good to have him but not the end of the world if they don't with 4 already in the '21 class.

I think that’s true for everyone who had a strong Dec.

Honestly, it looks like A&M has two in the bag. Malone is keeping it close to the vest, but has been back and forth talking to the baseball and football staffs these past few days. And Thomas? He isn't talking to anyone prior to Wednesday

Should be an interesting day tomorrow
