TEXAS A&M AGGIES Carter Karels, GigEm247 Compared to the average preseason, fan anticipation for this season is high, medium or low? Why? High. They have a new head coach, in Mike Elko. They still have a lot of the best players from their vaunted 2022 recruiting class, including QB Conner Weigman, DE Shemar Stewart and safety Bryce Anderson. They brought in one of the best transfer classes in the country, led by DE Nic Scourton (Purdue). Perhaps most importantly, A&M has its most favorable schedule in years. The Aggies will not play Alabama or Georgia, and their four biggest games (Notre Dame, Missouri, LSU and Texas) are all at home. Coming off a 7-6 season, A&M is not expecting a rebuild. The Aggies expect an awesome season. What record would be a passable season for Texas A&M? 9-3. With its favorable schedule, A&M has a huge opportunity to make a splash in Elko's first season. The Aggies would make that splash by going at least 10-2. While a 9-3 record probably will not get you into the 12-team CFP, 10-2 likely will if you are an SEC team. Still, 9-3 would be good for an A&M program that hasn't gotten over the eight-win hump very much in recent memory. The Aggies have finished a season with nine wins only twice in the last decade. Also, their over/under win total in Vegas is at 8.5. Your fanbase's reaction to the new-look SEC is ... Annoyed. Texas A&M joined the SEC to get away from Texas and create its own identity. While the Aggies have not been world beaters in the SEC, they have done a nice job of building their brand and becoming a program that cannot be overlooked nationally. Now, the Longhorns are back in the SEC and have all the makings of a team that could win big immediately. It has the feeling of a high school reunion where the guy who got bullied feels like he is better than his bully after all these years, but then the bully shows up in a Lambo. Is NIL alignment at your program above average, average or below average. Why? Above average. Texas A&M's NIL collective, Texas Aggies United, will not disclose much publicly. But the Aggies are among the best in the NIL game and have shown that under Elko. It is a big reason why they had one of the best transfer portal classes and have been very impressive with their 2025 recruiting. What issue keeps your fanbase up at night? Texas joining the SEC and being immediately amazing. Aggie fans might not want to admit it, but I am sure the thought of the Longhorns coming into their conference and immediately winning big would make them want to vomit. It is why it is crucial for Elko to take advantage of this schedule and have a very successful first season -

The spin article Texas A&M Baseball A&M's next baseball coach will have resources aplenty for elite status By Olin Buchanan There’s an old saying that the Kentucky Derby cannot be won with a jackass. No truer proverb has ever been written or spoken. The world’s greatest jockey and trainer couldn’t get a nag in the winner’s circle. However, a good jockey could lead a great horse there. That same logic applies to Texas A&M baseball. The difference is that the Aggies’ overall program is the stud horse in this scenario. A&M came within one run of winning the national championship last week. With all A&M has to offer, a good, competent head coach can keep the Aggies running for the roses — or in the run for the Men’s College World Series, as it were. The Aggies reached the MCWS twice in three seasons under now-Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle, who is considered an elite coach. But they don’t necessarily need an elite head coach because A&M — with its facilities, finances, highly motivated donors, fan support and recruiting base — can make a good coach elite. Hell, Schlossnagle has been a head coach for over 20 years but never reached the MCWS Finals until he came to A&M. By the way, A&M reached the MCWS in 2011 and 2017 and almost did in 2015 and 2016 with a coach who sometimes seemed to have a limited recruiting scope in our state. In May, Texas A&M’s Board of Regents approved a capital project plan that includes an $80 million renovation of Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. That isn’t meant to imply the Aggies shouldn’t pursue an elite coach to replace the departed Schlossnagle. There’s been enough false implications around here already. If Tennessee’s Tony Vitello, Florida’s Kevin O’Sullivan, Virginia’s Brian O’Connor or Louisville’s Dan McDonnell were willing to leave successful programs, A&M should roll out the maroon carpet. Former A&M baseball star J.B. Moss said Friday on TexAgs Radio that the Aggies should pursue Wake Forest’s Tom Walter, who led the Demon Deacons to Omaha just last season. “The reason I suggested Tom Walter is because — you go look at Omaha and what was there (this year)? There were four teams from the SEC and four teams from the ACC,” Moss said. He continued: “Tom Walter just last year was named ACC Coach of the Year, so he knows how to compete at the highest level. And you backfill it with guys like (former A&M hitting coach) Michael Earley.” Earley left A&M to follow Schlossnagle to Texas but is rumored to be interested in returning. He could probably convince several current A&M players to ignore transfer portal suitors. If Earley is indeed interested in returning, that would depend on the new head coach's interest in him — whoever that may be. Oklahoma's Skip Johnson, Dallas Baptist's Dan Heefner and Kentucky's Nick Mingione might not be considered elite. Not yet, anyway. However, with A&M's resources and the state of Texas' talent, they certainly could reach elite status at A&M. "I can't disagree with that," Moss said. "You take a good coach at a great program and light the world on fire." That could work. But it would at least require a good, competent coach. Remember, the Kentucky Derby can't be won with a jackass -
