Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I posted this about a year ago in this thread. Reposting for reference: --- I don't know much about A&M's history over the last 30 years other than them losing some hilarious games like 27-25 and 77-0, so I asked ChatGPT about the QBs being replaced and this is what it came up with: 1992-1995: Corey Pullig 4-yr starter 1996: Branndon Stewart replaced by Mark Farris midseason 1997-1999: Randy McCown 3-yr starter, replaced Mark Farris 2001: Mark Farris replaced by Dustin Long midseason 2002: Dusting Long replaced by Reggie McNeal midseason 2005: Reggie McNeal replaced by Stephen McGee midseason (injury) 2008: Stephen McGee replaced by Jerrod Johnson midseason (injury) 2010: Jerrod Johnson replaced by Ryan Tannehill 2012-2013: Manziel 2-yr starter 2014: Kenny Hill replaced by Kyle Allen midseason 2015: Kyle Allen replaced by Kyler Murray midseason 2016: Trevor Knight (ChatGPT says he transferred from OU?

Schools getting a bump in recruiting during a new coach's first full cycle is normal. If Elko finishes with a top 5 class, my hat's off to him. Good job leveraging your employer's NIL and selling playing time, a new vision for the program, and whatever else a new coach sells. The problem for them is that one year of recruiting momentum won't be enough. Marcel Reed is not the answer at quarterback.

I'll add that Michael Brandl himself is a great, great guy.

They have to find the $ to fire Earley somehow. Putting him in charge is like Texas going from 2005/2008 Mack to Chris Jesse.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Does Elko not understand that the signature is ultimately what matters? Or does he think he can flywheel "momentum" into something, like a lower price for the signature later on? I don't get it. (And from the inside, I wouldn't be able to explain it)

Texas GPA
Ha, I think most Surly posters are pretty clever compared to the typical Internet message board. I mean, have you ever been to Texags?

Texas GPA
Totally fair, and what you are saying could be true. My sample size is small, and doesn't include the sports you mention as far as I know, but I have been happy to have student-athletes in my class because they take the "student" part seriously and are really trying to pick up the material. Of course, there is self-selection bias because I teach in a major that has a reputation for being difficult. No academic advisor will direct students to our department for an "easy" major.

Texas GPA
I teach an upper-division elective at the business school and have had multiple student-athletes in my class. As a whole, they are above the average for my class--they show up most of the time, pay attention, and do the work. I don't know what sports they play unless they give me documentation about the specific classes they are allowed to miss due to University-sponsored sports events. One student who plays a sport people know about wrote to me yesterday asking the best way to make up the work they have to miss due to the competition schedule. I am impressed by our student-athletes. They work much harder than I did when I was a student.

A bunch of my college friends are sending their kids to A&M. The state's population has grown a lot and getting into UT is hard. I am not sure if these kids who grew up as Longhorns suddenly become redass, or remain 2%ers, or something in between. A&M has also gotten so big that Fish Camp fills up within hours or minutes of the slots opening up, so at least, a smaller percentage of the incoming class is getting the immediate indoctrination. At the public in-state price point, A&M seems to be the next best option for a lot of people. Not exactly sure why UT-Dallas isn't higher on people's lists, but for whatever reason, it just isn't. Or maybe getting into UTD is also very competitive (I don't know).

So OU has a Charlie Strong clone as coach, and A&M has a Herman clone. What a time to be alive.

It is unbelievable to me that they are already talking about firing Elko. I thought they would do much worse than 8-4 given the roster turnover they had. Not to mention, residual buyout payments for Jimbo AND Elko, and salary for a new coach, and NIL?- Jimbo 2022: Balls To The Face

I still give it to Fran. So many gems from those years--hold the rope, secret newsletters, Wednesday Weekly with Bill Byrne, 77-0, Listeater, the Real Deal, it goes on. And Texas won a Rose Bowl and a national championship, both on final drives, during Fran's reign as well. - OU Recruiting 2025: Truck Balls and Broken Dreams
