Their class, should it hold together, would be a first step in acquiring the level of talent Texas, tOSU, and Georgia have acquired over three or four years.
Their coaching staff is not elite by any means, will they fund that, too? It would be expensive to draw established high quality coaches to that graveyard for careers.
In A&M's most formidable years, even when they dominated the SWC, they could not make themselves elite. Their covid year ranking followed up by the bestest recruiting class ever has all gone to shit. Their performance has never, by a long shot, matched their recruiting rankings as far as I know.
I guess the question I have, and I pose it to @closetojumping and anyone else with insight, is what is the big change has happened at A&M that should persuade me that they're going to rise from Texas 8&4? Elko? Facilities? Sustainable talent acquisition with top coaching staff?
I know it's been discussed before, but I humble ask for the latest opinions. Thanks.
