  1. When the fuck has Jimbo ever been known as an elite evaluator? His entire MO at FSU was to out recurit the rest of ACC and then beat them into submission with a huge talent deficit. Really it was similar to Mack Brown during the 00s, once a crack in the talent appeared the whole program collapsed.

    I know we've touched on this, but it is pretty interesting to watch what is happening in BCS. They're taking a bunch of character issue guys and grade risks, and a bunch of mercenaries or players with bad hangers on within their circle. This will either blow-up hilariously and the attrition will ultimately be off the charts, or this has the makings of an outlaw program with no moral compass a la ATM under Sherrill, OU under Switzer, and Miami generally. That's somewhat ominous to me. 

    Look at the players:

    2018-

    -Bobby Brown - a flake who juked around with multiple schools until the last second and also looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

    -Tank Jenkins - auction

    -Jashaun Corbin - auction

    -James Foster - auction that the in-state schools more or less ignored until Bama got desperate late.

    -Vernon Jackson - flake who thinks he's going to play TB at ATM and be a star. Note: Oscar Giles failed to offer him the opportunity to start out at TB until the afternoon of signing day. Strong work, Oscar. 

    -Leon O'Neal - an undertalented, overrated prima donna who expects to start early and be a high draft pick after 3 years. A shattered worldview for this guy will be one of the greatest aggie meltdowns in years.

     

    2019-

    -Erick Young - TankedBevo's plaintive protestations aside, this dude pulled a stunt I've never even seen before and showed us who he is in the process.

    -Bobby Wolfe - the 2019 version of Leon O'Neal. Getting these two goobers in the same DB film room will probably asphyxiate everyone else due to a lack of oxygen being present when they're done talking/beating chests.

    -Bobby Williams - a stud who shut everything down in one visit and is not speaking to anyone else, anywhere. ATM struck an absolutely great deal here with the family.

    -Jeffery Carter - he has a turd hanging on to him that has caused many programs to end pursuit. It's pretty bad if that happens. He's a stud player with a helicopter parent firing RPGs from above, so it should be awesome to witness. 

    -Kenyon Green - I told the story of his dad allegedly trying to find a bidding war for his kid's attendance to an all-star game. I've never heard of that one before, but it's hilarious. Anyway, another one who thinks he's one thing, but he projects as something else, and not a person around him has ever told him otherwise or thought it themselves.

    -Tarian Lee - needs a brain transplant to get into college.

    -Andre White - another guy who visits one time and shuts everything down and won't speak to anyone. Okay.

    -Beason and Brooks - I don't think ATM is done looking at either of these two.

    They'll also look to close around signing day on some of the purer auctions with guys who either never visit or mention them until the final 2-3 weeks of this period, or guys that the local programs simply will not touch, hence their availability. 

    Can you build a program around these types? Florida did it, but they also had a transcendent leader who kept the thugs in line. Things went sideways when he was done. Earlier examples don't fit due to the high, high level of talent that was being purchased, and locally, for OU, ATM, and Miami when they were doing what they were doing. All three of those scenarios ended badly nonetheless. Only ATM was incompetent enough to not win at least one MNC during their run. 

    Also unlike those programs if A&M rocks the boat to much and bama, UGA, LSU will throw them to the wolves.

  3. Kid fucked up, everyone knows he is a safety that's what Texas told him he was, but A&M told him what he wanted to hear. The second he shows up on campus they are going to stick him in the safety spot and it will be to late for him to do anything about it. Just like all the OG that want to play OT or DT that get told they will get to play DE, they are getting taken for a ride because they are not playing in the correct position.

    It would be funny if they paid guys to decommit. But it won't happen. If Alabama wants to it can simply not honor the scholarship offer. Despite it being a contract, I guess public schools can get out of it because it is so difficult to sue public entities. I wonder what the lawyers think, though. Damages seem like they could be pretty high given that Alabama sells the fact that more of their kids get drafted.

    Until he signs his actual LOI bama can pull his offer at anytime.

    So they paid 75 million dollars to fake it? This right here is why A&M will fail time and time again, they care more about looking good than actually being good. But it's aggy they lack the ability to todo a serious self analysis needed to actually capitalize on their potential.

    Lol. Trying to knock Foster for being injury prone while at the same time taking a "DE" that blew out both knees in high school. "Trust, Jimbo he will do more with more" You mean take #3 team and playoff contender and crash it into the ground, seriously did the 2017 FSU season just not happen according to aggy?

    Looks like Lejond Cavazos, who transferred to IMG after not being cleared by his previous coaches after transferring from Steele to Seguine, is committing this Wednesday, thought to be between Ohio State and Georgia. Texas doesn't seem to have shown much interest. 

    Isn't this the kid that has a helicopter dad from hell?

    How is the Bayer Fungus Control granules for gray leaf spot? A lot of the recommended liquid fungicides are expensive as fuck.

    Is the area of grass in a shaded wet area with thick growth? Because gray leaf spot thrives in those kinda of conditions and taking cultural steps like cutting back on watering, not applying fertilizer and mowing and bagging the clippings should help keeping grey spot in check.
