re: UCLA @ Texas A&M

We are also finally just recovering from Sherman's failed attempt to move A&M to a 3-4 defense. UCLA is making the change and it just doesn't happen overnight.
UCLA played mostly an even front last year. Its a hell of a lot easier to switch from an odd to an even than it is the other way around - most 34 teams already play even fronts greater than 50% of the team because of how often they are in nickel/dime.
This game is going to come down to whether or not the Aggie patchwork and inexperienced OL can stop a very talented UCLA DL.
Trevor Knight has never thrown for more than 2300 yards in a season, is a career 57% passer, and has nearly as many career int's as Td's (19ints vs 25td's).
Outside of one miracle game against Alabama (in 2013!) he has been trash as a QB. Not sure why anyone would count on him to be anything more than mediocre.

It doesn't matter if you are undefeated and ranked #1 at the end of the regular season. If you don't get out of your regional/super regional, you aren't in the top 8. Period.
It's too late - they already put that second place finish up on the wall.

Only 1277 players ranked ahead of him.

Many are starting to believe that Vaughn got or at least tried to get a couple questionable recruits into Texas. Devonaire Clarington's ACT was flagged by the NCAA. Texas chose to walk away from that issue like they did from Vaughn.
You named one - who ultimately didn't get in. Who else are you talking about?

Could Baylor release them but block their transfer to another Big 12 school?
No. You can't put a restriction on an NLI release (unlike a transfer) - it's an all or nothing release.

Not sure what I like more - the fact he's carrying 180 pounds on that 6'2" frame - or that he runs a 4.81 40 as a DB.
He's All-District though - so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Because the SEC has elevated A&Ms recruiting abilities to Blue Chip level. Same reason folks are justifiably high on Tenn. here is what the SEC has done to A&M recruiting and why it's only a matter of time before they break through:
2012- 16th
2013- 9th
2014- 5th
2015- 11th
If you consistently pull top 10ish classes more than likely your team can play at a championship level.
You left out their 2016 recruiting ranking - 19th.

A&M dominated the SWC for several years throughout the 80s and early 90s. The Big12 hasn't been around for that long...
Coincidentally (or not) A&M was placed on probation twice during those years they 'dominated' the SWC.

OU is ready to move and is talking to anyone who will listen.
They are pissed. Done with Texas. Ready to blow up the Big 12. It sounds like they don't really know what to do, but they are ready to let the conference burn.
What are you even talking about? Oklahoma is leading the charge for expansion (despite the report that one member of the BOR was against it). Oklahoma is the one desperately trying to add more schools and make the conference viable.
As for OU bolting and leaving OSU behind - it can not happen, the Oklahoma state legislature has made sure of that.
If/when the Big12 breaks up OU, OSU, and Texas are all going to find their way to a conference together.
Oklahoma isn't leaving the Big12 alone (or with OSU) unless the entire conference craters.

Oklahoma and OSU aren't splitting up. Oklahoma was ready to leave for Pac 10-16 but that was with OSU and Texas.

I don't know Roger, shouldn't our new OC be allowed to choose a qb that he wants?
Sure - but why not communicate that to the Martell's? Its a year to signing day and Martell is a highly sought after 5* QB - he's got no shortage of suitors and he wasn't going to stick around College Station if he wasn't wanted there.
This was a piss-poor handling of the situation - even by Aggie 5* QB standards.

Fairly certain this is the recruiting expert Finebaum has on right now.

You have to wonder why Moorehead would lash out at a kid Aggie didn't want anyways.

Mannie was discovered by A&M and is now drawing National attention. Wanted to open up process.
Mannie had a dozen offers, including schools like ASU, Nebraska, Illionis, BYU, TCU, and Texas Tech before A&M offered. A&M hardly 'discovered' the kid.

Patterson didn't sue him - the lawsuit started well before Patterson took over.
BL fought it for years (hence his mentioning of 5yrs worth of legal fees).

Hell, Malzhan is a bargain compared to what A&M is paying and getting from Sumlin.

Holy shite. Does that leave them with 1 recruit on the D Line?
Assuming they cut bait with Alton - yes.
But that 1 recruit (J-Mad) is really damn good. Not sure if he's good enough to play two spots at the same time though. We'll see what Black Death can do this summer...
