We are recruiting the beef as well. We have four 4* DTs committed for 2013. We have four athletic and big OL committed. We have something like 5 LBs committed and still trying to land the stud ILB from Hawaii who we lead for.

I completely agree on the premise that only recruiting skill position players turns you into Arkansas the last few seasons. I think however that we will have that skill position talent of Arkansas with the athleticism and beef necessary to compete in the front 7 on defense and continue to have a dominant OL

Go to a restaurant east of campus called Fuego. Get a Juan Pablo. You won't regret it! It is the best taco I've ever had. They have absolutely any type of taco you can imagine. May not sound all that great on a message board, but it won't disappoint. My favorite bars on northgate are paddock, mad hatters, and cedar lane. Hope you enjoy it!

Favorite bars are cedar lane and obannons. Grab some shots at the tipsy turtle. Madhatters is pretty good as well.

Best pecan pie ive ever had is at church street on northgate.

Get some incredible tacos at Fuego. Open 24 hours so go hit it up after northgate. It's always packed after the bars close.

You're an idiot... :banghead:
Prevot likes LSU and Texas. He is visiting us soon though. Maybe this weekend. Really hope the staff makes a good impression on him

Manning is keeping things close to the vest. Not likely to be an Aggie IMO

Claiborne has the Ags #1 right now. LSU is slow playing
MLB talent isn't too thin, at least in regards to having the Ags on top. Both Chad Whitener and R Chevis would commit on the spot if offered. I like Chevis the most, then Whitener, then Mastro. Not sure with the Mastro offer and not Chevis
Warrick was told on Saturday he would know within 48 hours if he would receive an offer. He has not heard anything yet. Take that at face value but it is interesting he wasn't offered and may not be offered moving forward

Me likes da womens. Eye candy = good
Didn't know that DW, thanks for the info. All of our mods are staying really quiet on the Jamar Gibson front as well. Never a good sign
Lsufanva

I agree some are reaches. Namely Johnny Jefferson and Wiggins. Other than those two I really like all the guys we have committed.

It should be noted Derrick Griffin is a huge grade risk. He is currently ineligible for basketball this season due to grades. He needs to get a lot of work in the classroom done before he can think about qualifying

His father played at A&M. I hope we offer but I am not sure if he is reciprocating any interest. Film I have seen looks good. Kid is big that's for sure

re: Ishmael Wilson commits to A&M.

I'm shocked he committed today. Had heard nothing about him even liking us. If LSU comes calling it will be very tough to keep him. His mom did say she was really happy he would be so close to home. I Ags can just hope he's a mommas boy :rotflmao:
Hamm from 247 knows his bread a butter is all recruiting. Honestly his info with the coaching hires was subpar, but he kills it in recruiting. Go take a free trial
Ha it was actually a weird situation. These three skyline kids showed up to our facilities for our junior day. Well the kids got the weekends mixed up. The junior day isn't until next weekend. So these kids showed up and our coaches had no clue. Our coaches were able to have a makeshift junior day for these guys and were able to secure a commitment from Huggins. That's really refreshing compared to our old staff. That was the reason for some confusion among the recruiting sites though. Hamm from gigem247 has the best recruiting info and we know within minutes of the commitment if it happened

All the kid has done since last summer is talk up the SEC and how he wants to stuff run the meet RBs head on. Said he wanted to play in the SEC and only the SEC cause that's what most resembles the NFL

Now the kid is going to the Big XII to drop into coverage and protect against the pass 50+ times per game. It just doesn't make any sense. And yes Texas will likely turn this kid into a DE. I would love to have him as a MLB in the SEC but he has been one mixed ball of drama. Hate to say it but this kid fits in perfectly with his soon to be teammates in Austin. Pre Madonna all the way
We currently have three separate parts of the stadium. We have the east stands, the west stands, and the north end zone. The east and west stands are each three decks. The third deck was erected in the 70s I believe. The north end zone was erected in the late 90s.

The original plan (pre sec) was to actually reduce the seating capacity. However, that plan has obviously changed. The new stadium will now be 100,000 plus but not 115,000. The stadium as it sits is out of code. The problem is, the second you fix one thing to bring up to code, all code issues must be fixed at that point in time which is why we haven't begun to fix issues. There are bats in the stadium and they are annoying as hell. They smell too. At sunset you can often see them flying out of the stadium by the thousands. To my knowledge they are protected by some dumb animal law so we cannot take the means necessary to remove them.

Currently, the students are given the option to purchase a sports pass. The students always have had and always will have premium seating on the east side of the field. They occupy 90% of the east stands. However, this kills our revenue for ticket sales. As it sits, we have very few luxury suites as well. This will be a main focus of the new stadium is to drastically increase the number of suites available to increase revenue by a considerable margin.

We are about to begin a 6 month study to discuss all and diagnose all options available to us. IMO the two feasible options are to tear down both the east and west stands simultaneously and play ONE season in reliant stadium in Houston. We will not be misplaced from Kyle Field for more than a year. The other option is to have Kyle Field under construction for 3 or 4 years and do the upgrades piece by piece as to not have to play a season away at Reliant. This could consist of erecting a south end zone, then tearing down the west side and rebuilding it, then tearing down the east side and rebuilding it.

There is also serious talk about tearing things down to just the base structure and trying to salvage some. I for one do not like this idea. Tear it down and build it right

So the basics are we will not be away from Kyle for more than one season regardless which decision is made. The plan is to be just north of 100,000 in capacity. Construction will begin at the earliest following the 2013 season.

People will bitch and moan regardless which decision is made. Hopefully our decision makers are not swayed by that and do this right. One season away from Kyle at Reliant for an incredible stadium for 50 to 69 years into the future is well worth it IMO. We are in the position we are in now because the decision makers who have been in control of Kyle the last 40 years didn't think far enough ahead

re: A&M lands another 4-star

Ha definitely took the bait. Barring a major shock, Trey will be an Aggie. He is one of the moat explosive playmakers at the position I've seen in a while. Hope like hell we hold onto him
Funny cause most Aggies, including mods from recruiting sites, feel like Dalton will do anything to not be an Aggie. Many Aggie fans are sick of his wishy wash dramatic attitude which us understandable. However, he feels a huge need thy our previous staff failed to ever address. I will take this kid any day of the week. That being said I feel like it will either be UT or Arkansas
A&M is in dire need of a MLB. That being said, this kid has tried everything he can to not be an Aggie. He is visiting though so hopefully we can wrap him up but I am not banking on it. He is a bit of a drama queen but a talent nonetheless
