    x-posting and an FYI

     

    Per Bobby:

    Bert Auburn is not be a scholarship number this fall due to his NIL exceeding scholarship value.

     

    So If that is true that would put us at 85 with the 3 transfers of Burrell, Walton, Kirkland. 

    That's good to know. Most guys aren't good with that, so don't expect that as a given in the future with a starter. I'm kind of stunned and I am aware of his NIL circumstances.

    It still would not surprise me to see another OL or DL go along with a few others.

    We still need 2-3 to go.

    I will be stunned if it isn't a little more than 3. Some guys are courteously holding off from doing something until after the spring game. That's true for other schools too, apparently.

    @closetojumping On your post above on them being #2 in the portal, doesnt somebody else other than 247 do a better job like ESPN or On3?  Seems like you get a BIG boost in rankings (see Colorado) for huge numbers coming in but no 'penalty' for going out. 

    No clue. I don't really ever look at portal rankings anymore because they have been fucking garbage through at least this past December. ATM's had massive talent drain between what went out and what they replaced it with, so yeah, if they have a #2 ranking, it is an indictment of the whole thing. I hear commentators mention portal rankings as some sort of good thing and they're just falling for more dumb shit by not doing the work look even a little below the surface.

    @closetojumping would you settle for a burger and a grape snow cone with that nickname? 

    What kind of burger are we talking about? A Big Kahuna Burger? A Good Burger? A veggie patty burger?

    No, fuck that. Now, if @immamac would change your handle to Jaggy McPosterjagger or something, I'd be all-in for whatever people wanted to us.

    The Houston version is Shaun Bagwell having goes with at least Darryl Kile, Ken Caminiti, and Mike Hampton. The Caminiti trade was driven by Jeff Bagwell's demands, allegedly.

    Regarding their current outlook for starting OL, it's really, really grim over there. Holy shit, from Tarp:

    I've provided some thoughts on Texas A&M's offensive tackles but focused primarily on them as players. Now, here are some takes on the offensive line this spring as a whole (the following is solely a product of my thought process).

    1. You're going to have at least five starting caliber guys for the five spots up front. Your questions are more about who's going to play as opposed to can so and so be an adequate player at a particular position.

    2. A lineup of Trey Zuhn (left side) and Dametrious Crownover (right side) at tackle, Chase Bisontis and Armaj Reed-Adams at guard, and Mark Nabou at center makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons going into the spring game (this isn't necessarily a projection for the season opener…we've got a long way to go before then).

    3. Zuhn is experienced and has a nice kick step to stay with people on the edge. He's got to deal with people getting their hands into his chest but he's gradually improved that aspect of his game as he's gotten bigger and more experienced. Crownover offers a lot of potential and is probably the best pure athlete up front. He has dominant reps when everything works for him and that's something that everyone seems to be attracted to. However, he has to reduce the problematic reps and individual games, particularly in terms of his usage rate.

    4. Bisontis is a big guy with a quick first step. He looks good on initial contact and his legs keep churning to sustain his advantage. Playing between people and getting help in pass pro will enable him to avoid the "play in space with no help" scenarios he faced far too often in 2023 as a converted guard on the edge (and he was a true freshman to boot). Reed-Adams is a massive guy and he's got quite a few starts under his belt. The trick for him will be dealing with quicker players on the interior since (like Bisontis) you're not going to run over him in pass pro.

    5. Nabou is solid on the inside as the pivot man. He doesn't seem to struggle with snaps, and he can be very physical. He is another guy that you're not going to run over. The trick for him will be getting off of the ball, keeping his feet moving, and getting his hand placement going.

    6. Beyond what I think would be the first five, there's still generally a lot of people trying to reconcile themselves to a new campus or offensive scheme, gaining experience as youngsters, in track, or dealing with injuries (either from the spring or last season). 

    7. I think that Reuben Fatheree is an exception to all of the above, I like him just fine, and I could be wrong, but we'll see.

    ----

    To translate, they have Crownover and Bisontis starting and neither guy has any film that can be viewed positively. They have a guy at C that was trampled repeatedly last season. Reuben Fatheree is their offensive line's MacGuffin.

  7. I've got more good stuff coming from those idiots that I'm going to post here as well.

    Here's a tidbit about that awesome 5 star TJ Shanahan that shocked me:

    Tarp

    "Mr_Pibb said... (original post) How is TJ looking?"

    Shorter than I expected in person.

    There's guys who are out right now like Dewberry that you would normally expect to make a run at a starting job. Foster is also in track.

    He might still be a year away.

    ----

    To translate: He's not a player we should expect to see out there and he probably won't ever be any better than that. If you doubt my interpretation, here's another comment from Tarp about the way he feels he has to write on that site from the same thread:

    Tarp

    "WesleyTXAg said... (original post) Agreed, but I am also referring to your narrative. So unless you're saying your narrative is A&M's narrative, I think it is worth ..."

    I'm just telling you what I see and hear.

    However, you're always going to get push back with this fan base if things aren't what the narrative is, like when I posted the other day that they're probably further behind in talent compared to programs like Georgia and Ohio State or that they're still trying to figure things out due to the number of newcomers.

    There are other considerations such as the fact that they're more experienced and disciplined than what they were under the previous regime.

  8. From Aggie 247 and my thoughts:

    Carter Karels continues to attempt subtle messages to his aggie readers that their roster is dogshit and they're going to need to do a lot of work in the portal. He's also hinting at soon to be exits as well. I'm not sure if any of it is getting through. 

    Here's an article in which he talks about the offense and their portal needs. Spoilered so the folks that just come to this thread to crack the ever-hilarious sheepfucking jokes don't have too long of a scroll:

    Spoiler

    Earlier this offseason, Texas A&M hammered the NCAA Transfer Portal to fill several holes on its roster. Look for the Aggies to remain active during the spring window for the transfer portal, which begins Tuesday and ends April 30.

    During the winter transfer portal window (Dec. 4, 2023-Jan. 2, 2024), A&M lost 18 scholarship players. 247Sports previously reported that two other scholarship players, safety Jacoby Mathews and Sam McCall, are expected to transfer out of the program during the spring portal window.

    The Aggies have replaced those departures with 24 scholarship transfers so far: four cornerbacks, three safeties, three defensive ends, three offensive linemen, two linebackers, one defensive tackle, two wide receivers, two tight ends, one nickel cornerback, one running back, one punter and a kicker. Their 24-player transfer class ranks second nationally, per 247Sports.

    Those subtractions and additions have brought them to a projected scholarship count of 90 players for the fall. Per NCAA rules, A&M will not need to satisfy the 85-scholarship limit until the first day of its fall semester.

    Ahead of the upcoming transfer window, here is the start of a two-part series assessing which positions the Aggies should address through the portal. Every unit will be examined by their level of need, receiving a grade of very low, low, medium, high or very high.

    Here is a look at the offense.

    QUARTERBACK

    Position inventory: Redshirt junior Jaylen Henderson, redshirt sophomore Conner Weigman, redshirt freshman Marcel Reed and true freshman Miles O'Neill.

    How big of a need: Very low.

    Analysis: With NIL and the portal, a solid backup quarterback can be tough to keep. Following last season, A&M managed to retain two backup quarterbacks – Henderson and Reed – who impressed in game settings. O'Neill will join the Aggies in June as well.

    Now, if Henderson or Reed enters the portal this month, A&M will certainly need to improve its depth at quarterback. But if they stay, the Aggies would have to feel good about their quarterback group going into the 2024 season.

     

    RUNNING BACK/FULLBACK

    Position inventory: Sixth-year senior Jerry Johnson II, fifth-year senior EJ Smith, redshirt junior Amari Daniels, junior Le'Veon Moss and sophomore Rueben Owens II.

    How big of a need: Medium.

    Analysis: All four A&M running backs bring experience and have proven themselves to be at least serviceable. Whether any of them could flourish in a featured role this season, though, remains to be seen. None of them have reached 600 rushing yards in a season.

    If the Aggies continue to use a committee approach, Smith, Daniels, Moss and Owens should form a nice group. But if a stellar 1,000-yard rusher suddenly became available, A&M would be foolish to pass on him.

     

    WIDE RECEIVER

    Position inventory: Fifth-year seniors Moose Muhammad III and Jabre Barber, senior Jahdae Walker, juniors Noah Thomas and Cyrus Allen, sophomore Micah Tease, and true freshmen Izaiah Williams, Ernest Campbell and Ashton Bethel-Roman.

    How big of a need: High.

    Analysis: Like their running back unit, the Aggies have a solid group of receivers but might lack a true No. 1 option. No A&M receiver has produced a 1,000-yard season in college. None of the four returning receivers for the Aggies have reached 700 receiving yards in a season.

    Additionally, A&M is somewhat thin on numbers with its receiver group. Per source, Barber recently underwent surgery on a foot injury and could miss the beginning of the 2024 season (his injury timetable remains fluid). Without him, the Aggies would have only four receivers who have played a significant number of high-leverage reps in college.

     

    TIGHT END

    Position inventory: Sixth-year senior Garrett Miller, senior Tre Watson, redshirt sophomores Donovan Green and Theo Melin Öhrström, redshirt freshman Jaden Platt and true freshman Eric Karner.

    How big of a need: Low.

    Analysis: The Aggie tight end group, like their running back and receiver units, lacks a player with proven elite production. None of their tight ends have reached 400 receiving yards in a season, and only Watson has surpassed 250. However, lacking an elite tight end is not nearly as tough to overcome as not having a true No. 1 running back or receiver. 

    And even if none of its tight ends produce at an elite level, A&M should still receive plenty of meaningful contributions from the unit. Before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in practice last August, Green showed a lot of promise. The two transfer additions for the Aggies, Miller and Watson, should be impactful as well. Miller is thought to be more of a blocking tight end, while Watson has impressed as a receiving threat.

     

    INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE

    Position inventory: Sixth-year senior Dorian Hinton, fifth-year seniors Aki Ogunbiyi and Ar'maj Reed-Adams, redshirt junior Bryce Foster, junior Kam Dewberry, redshirt sophomore Mark Nabou Jr., sophomore Chase Bisontis, redshirt freshman TJ Shanahan and true freshman Isendre Ahfua.

    How big of a need: Medium.

    Analysis: This unit is loaded with depth and experience. Of the nine players listed above, seven of them have started multiple games in college. The two exceptions, Shanahan and Ahfua, were both four-star recruits. 

    Should a quality center enter the portal, though, A&M might be interested. Foster, the incumbent starter for the Aggies, left a lot to be desired with his play last season. He also has spent this spring with the track and field team, missing all 11 football practices so far. Perhaps Nabou will ultimately surpass Foster on the depth chart and show improvement. Either way, A&M could use an upgrade at center.

     

    OFFENSIVE TACKLE

    Position inventory: Fifth-year senior Derrick Graham, redshirt juniors Trey Zuhn III, Reuben Fatheree II and Dametrious Crownover, redshirt sophomore Hunter Erb, redshirt freshman Colton Thomasson, and true freshman Blake Ivy, Ashton Funk and Robert Bourdon.

    How big of a need: Low.

    Analysis: Do not be surprised if the Aggies add an offensive tackle transfer during the spring window. From what we have heard, they will be looking. However, an argument could be made that this group does not need a transfer addition. 

    Zuhn is coming off the best season of his career and seems like a lock to start at left tackle. Fatheree, who started at right tackle for the Aggies in the 2021 and 2022 seasons, is finally healthy again. He missed most of last fall with a lower-body injury. 

    A&M has adequate depth at offensive tackle, too. Crownover could push for the starting right tackle job and has the versatility to play left tackle. Bisontis started at right tackle last season and could slide to the position again if needed. Graham started 24 games at Troy and spent time at both offensive tackle positions.

    So it appears that they're planning on losing a QB.

    The staff isn't happy at OT and will be in the portal fishing for one of those ever present starting OTs who can start on day one. 

    They think they're losing at least one TB. They also don't think they have RB1 on campus so, again, they'll be all over one of those awesome starting TBs that no one else is bidding for to step right in the lineup. 

    They just lost a WR to foot surgery who had transferred in from Troy and was an immediate starter. He won't be back for the first part of the season, if any of it. They also lack a WR1 on campus and need one of those to magically drop in for them as well.

    They don't think they need help at TE but the staff also doesn't see a TE1 on the roster. 

    They don't have a functioning C and will be begging someone to join them at that spot, otherwise they're reliant on a completely disengaged Bryce Foster or someone worse. They're "loaded" with guys on the IOL, but Karels seems to be unaware that quantity is completely irrelevant if quality is non-existent.

    No idea on that, but supposedly he received a ton of NIL money to return. 

    It depends on what you'd classify as "a ton" but it was nothing close to the expectation had he entered the draft. At the time, I'm not talking about it now that we've seen he wasn't able to come back, we thought his decision to come back was a mistake but the guy wanted to be at Texas working his way back.

    DeBoer's line dude likes maximum mobility at Center.   They went with a 265 lb guy last year. 

    I think Alabama is going to have some surprising and serious LOS issues in 2024. I'll wait until the portal is closed to really think about it, but as of right now, and from what I saw in their spring game, there's a good shot that they won't look like the same fronts from Bama since 2008.

    Is there a chance the 9.95’rs are in some cases misreading recruit interest? Every recruit’s agent wants their recruit to visit Texas and show strong interest in order to drive up NIL money offers from other schools. 

    Burton has been doing this longer than anyone else, is so cautious that I find it irritating sometimes, and is completely aware of the NIL landscape, UT's place in it, and the agent grift of using UT as some sort of pawn.

    Players want to come to Texas and play for an "it" brand and an "it" staff. There is only one CFP team from 2023 that actually returns its coach.

    You don't need to squint here and try to find something to worry about on the football or recruiting end. There are baseball and basketball threads for that and you don't even have to squint to see issues for both of those programs in order to satisfy the handwringing itch.

  13. The biggest issue with the 2023-2024 season is that Terry let Mitchell's faction bully him into giving Mitchell a featured role at a position he had no business playing. They should have let him walk last year and signed other transfers that were interested in coming to Texas and were much better, you know, basketball players. That shit sent everything else spiraling. The team never looked like a cohesive unit.
