    At one point, Spring Dekaney cornerback Marcus Banks had pretty much been penciled in by Texas as a Longhorn commitment. While he was definitely seemingly leaning there, he kept in frequent contact with the Texas A&M coaches as well.

    Banks was one of the first players visited by Jimbo Fisher after he took the job and the Aggies are very high on the 6-foot, 170-pound defender.

    Banks took his first official visit at the end of last month. It was to A&M, two weeks after he had also been in town for the spring game. The next weekend, he had been scheduled to officially visit Austin, but Banks ended up calling it off.

    While there was talk of him rescheduling, Banks had actually stopped talking with Texas as he had a new leader and was showing no interest in the Longhorns anymore. There was suddenly no more reciprocated communication on his part. The consensus surrounding him seems to be that A&M was able to flip the script during his visit and the Aggies took the clear lead.

    He is scheduled to officially visit Alabama in mid-June but it would not be a shock if that trip did not happen either.

    Banks is set to announce at The Opening Finals in Frisco, which will be held from June 30-July 2. It would not be a surprise to see both he and four-star cornerback Bobby Wolfe commit to the Aggies at the event

    It’s one thing to impress a kid and move to the front in his recruitment, but it’s something else for an aggy visit to all of a sudden make him go from hot to ice cold on Texas.  The two actions are seemingly unrelated to one another.

    Wouldnt be the first time it's happened. 

    The higher the signing bonus, the less likely a team will be in letting a guy do this. If he signs for top 3 round money, they’re going to want him playing baseball full time and not splitting time with football and in theory schoolwork.

    During the ‘real’ (IE not noncon) Bedlam baseball this year, I was watching game 1 upstairs with a beer and the kids to bed...I apparently said loudly enough ‘who the hell is that shrimp...wait that’s the great Murray?’ loudly enough my wife texts me (from downstairs), who is Murray?

    Not sure the dude even got a hit the whole series. That soothed my jimmies which are now rustled as I’m expecting my pokes to choke up the conference this weekend.

     

    He didn’t do shit against Texas either.

    So we actually gave those retards a shot at what they say they wanted and they turned it down. Pussies.

    Who is surprised?  Their favorite past time is saying hold me back while standing behind bama. 

    And, any chance this makes the rounds with people that report on and care about cfb so as to embarrass aggy and call out their bloviation?

    It's the other half of a home-and-home from the Mack era that keeps getting postponed

    ...by them. To avoid an ass kicking. Bet they wish they’d moved it to these past few years. I wish we made them buy it out. 

    Also, can we not work with the big 10 teams to keep both series consecutive instead of one in the middle of the other?

    Games against the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 12th, and 25th winningest programs of all time over the next decade

     

    dont think any other program in the country has such a badass non-con lineup

    You can throw notre dame in there before usc as well for an 11 year streak.

    2020: LSU

    2021: Arky

    2022: Bama

    2023: Bama

    2024: Michigan

    2025: Ohio State

    2026: Ohio State

    2027: Michgan

    This is how you schedule out of fucking conference.  Love it.  Good job Del Conte and Herman.

    Now, let's find some competent qb play.

    My kids will be 9 years old at the usc game, and 18 for the last Michigan game. They don’t know how great this stretch is. 

  8. I’m an analytical chemist with over 10 years experience and I just got over 70 last year. 

    I could probably be higher if I took a job in the northeast, but that’s a personal choice I’ve made. Plus cost of living would likely make it a wash. 

  9. Maybe whichever school doesn’t get stingley has banks tabbed as next in line.  If Texas is as honest with recruiting as has been told on here, they would have told banks that.  Maybe he doesn’t want to wait, or want to be 3rd choice behind Watson and stingley. It’s pretty fluid.

    I hope our other pitchers are watching this. Singles don't kill you. Walks kill you. 

    What’s the difference?

    but for real, 3 very well hit balls right up the middle in a row.  Nice that one made it to Shaw.
