This is not based off anything he told me, but I got the feeling that he could have shut things down if he did not already have the trip to Tennessee scheduled for Sunday and Monday. Though there is a chance the post-visit high wears off a bit, the Aggies are in very good shape here. He plans to decide late in the week or early the week after. He gelled very well with all the current commits and some current players but the two guys that deserve a bunch of credit there are Kam Brown and Nick Starkel. Starkel spent a bunch of time all weekend with him while Calzada and Brown hit it off immediately. -As for linebackers, A&M obviously picked up a commitment from Tarian Lee Jr. out of Florida but there were some other big targets there as well. Christian Harris of Baton Rouge U-High spent all weekend in College Station, and remained there through Sunday mid-afternoon. There is a lot of optimism surrounding A&M in landing him, though Alabama is still there as well. The Aggies have some big-time momentum, though. Five-star Nakobe Dean of out Mississippi is another player that spent multiple days in town. His grandmother being in Austin is a big deal in helping A&M’s cause as well. It’s going to be a long fight for him but A&M is right in the thick of it. Kevon Glenn and Nick Jackson out of Georgia both had very good trips as well but neither appears close to a decision. Both will likely take official visits to Aggieland in the fall. Once thought to be Texas lean, Cinco Ranch four-star David Gbenda is very high on A&M as well. -Another player once thought to be a heavy Texas lean is West Mesquite wide receiver Dylan Wright, who has made multiple trips to Aggieland recently. He spent Friday night in town and there is a strong feeling around College Station that he could be an Aggie. As a matter of fact, I just put in a Crystal Ball prediction as well. Another receiver, Nnamdi Adim-Madumere is headed to Alabama and Tuesday and then will be at A&M on Thursday. With spots in the class being at a premium, he might have to decide soon. He also has an unofficial visit scheduled to Minnesota for the week after. I think a late June decision is very possible for him. He is not class of 2019, but I put in a Crystal Ball pick for A&M on 2020 Fort Bend Austin four-star receiver Troy Omeire. He has really bonded with the current commits and it’s quite telling that he was the only 2020 receiver to run routes for Calzada. -Pensacola offensive linemen Hunter Rayburn and Adrian Medley are on their way back to Florida. I heard all weekend how much they were loving Aggieland, which is not surprising considering they did the first time around for spring practice as well. A decision could very well come this week, or possibly the week after, with them having just gotten back from A&M as well both have been on an unofficial to Clemson last week. Those are the two main schools in contention at the moment and the Tigers should not be counted out. I still think it will be A&M, though. They want to play together and I think that will be the case but I also wouldn’t completely rule out one being a Tiger and one being an Aggie. Manvel center Layden Robinson does not have a timeline but I talked to him today at the Adrian Peterson camp and the A&M offer was huge for him. In fact, his mom cried when Fisher offered. He is cousins with Jalen Preston and I still believe he will be an Aggie. As for Javonne Shepherd, nobody really knows for sure what he will do, but he is planning to return to Texas next weekend for the pool party. A decision later this month looks very possible and the Longhorns having the momentum. -I still believe Erick Young will be an Aggie when he announces on July 4. It is pretty much down to two teams with A&M and USC, where he will officially visit in two weeks. He had been planning an Ohio State trip, but that is no longer in the works. Fellow four-star cornerback Bobby Wolfe is still likely to be an Aggie as well but he does not seem as set as Young. The Arkansas official went really well over the weekend. -With athlete Ainias Smith, who was offered after camp this week, I honestly am not sure what he is going to do. He has seen the recruiting process up close before with his brother Maurice. After talking to some people, it would not be a huge surprise to see him eschew some of the 'bigger' schools. Louisiana Tech is a sneaky sleeper in his recruitment

  7. That is correct. Perroni is ignoring his subs on that subject
  8. I downloaded on tapa and the link is broken, but when I went to the regular surlyhorns site the screenshots were there. Doesn't make sense
  9. I have noticed aggy keeps asking Perroni about an update on Shepherd and he seems to be ignoring them. He usually is quick to respond
  10. Big OT Trainor ready to visit A&M again, high on two schools VIP ByBRIAN PERRONI 102 minutes ago When talking about linemen in the state of Texas for the class of 2019, one name is often a bit forgotten. Not a player that is active on social media, Hallsville offensive tackle Blake Trainor has built up a pretty impressive offer list. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound rising senior has Power Five offers from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, TCU and Texas A&M. The Aggies were the first of those schools to offer and the East Texas product will be making his way to College Station this coming weekend. "I'm going down there on Saturday," Trainor said. "They are having a bunch of their targets in town, so it should be a lot of fun. I want to meet a lot of those guys and get to know the coaches better as well. I liked it down there at the spring game but I should be able to see more this time. "I keep up with coach (Jim) Turner and coach (Lee) Grimes. They stay in contact with me and let me know that they like me." On Wednesday, Trainor was a bit surprised when five-star Aggie offensive tackle pledge Kenyon Green gave him a shout out on Twitter. "I was eating with my family and then all of a sudden, I got a notification that Kenyon was following me," Trainor said. "That was big. I couldn't believe it. Then, we started DM'ing and he's been talking up A&M to me. He tried to get a bunch of A&M fans to follow me as well." In addition to A&M, Trainor made a trip earlier this week to another in-state school. "I was at TCU on Monday," he said. "That was my first time there. I really liked it. The campus was really nice and I liked the facilities." 3COMMThough he has not taken many visits, Trainor does admit that those two schools have his attention. "A&M and TCU, both of those are up there at the top," he said. "They're the ones I've had the most contact with and they're close to home. I like both of those places.
  11. aggy mod Mark Passwaters said Shepherd is visiting Texas again this weekend. Hamm said that's not what he was told
  12. Brian Perroni 65995 posts 17 minutes agoVIP -Starting off with the quarterback spot, there are a lot of moving parts with the Graham Mertz recruitment. A longtime Wisconsin pledge, the Kansas City four-star passer was thought to possibly be opening things up not that long ago before doubling down a bit on his commitment. However, he has been in contact with A&M. Mertz recently said he only had two visits scheduled – an official this upcoming weekend to Wisconsin and a return unofficial to Madison the following weekend. A&M, though, expects him on campus at some point before the weekend is out, though. What that means for the Wisconsin official, I honestly don’t know. Do they expect him to cancel that one? Again, I don’t know. But the Aggies feel they are right there in it for him. Two other schools to watch are Notre Dame and Ohio State as well. Neither has given up on the early enrollee and there has been contact with those schools as well. In talking to some people, at the moment, there would be a little bit of a surprise if he stuck with his pledge to the Badgers. -Moving to the other position with the biggest question marks, there has been some movement at linebacker. After making an unexpected pledge during a short unofficial visit to A&M last month, Pennsylvania linebacker Andre White Jr. is now set to return this weekend for the Aggie Elite Day. That will give him a chance to meet the other commitments in the class. A&M has been making up ground Baton Rouge U-High athlete Christian Harris, who the Aggies are recruiting at linebacker, and he will be in town this weekend. This one is a bit odd because A&M is feeling pretty confident here – and I’ve learned not to bet against them when they are – but literally every person I’ve talked to that is connected in Louisiana has said he is going to Alabama. The Tide have not been pushing as hard as in the past, though, so that could also be a big reason he has changed his mind, if he indeed has. Mike Elko has done a great job with him. Also, five-star linebacker Nakobe Dean out of Mississippi still isn’t 100-percent sure he will be there this weekend but it is looking more likely. He and his family will likely make it to the Lone State to visit A&M and visit his grandmother in Austin. As Steve Wiltfong has been saying, A&M is definitely in this one. Kane Patterson out of Nashville is down to a final four of A&M, Alabama, Ohio State and Tennessee. He was at Ohio State today and will unofficially visit A&M on June 15 and Alabama on the 22. He will see Knoxville again before deciding as well. -A&M got the first domino in offensive line recruiting to fall when five-star Kenyon Green committed this past weekend. Another pledge could happen on Saturday. Hallsville tackle Blake Trainor has not been talked about a ton but the 6-foot-7, 280-pound rising senior will be in town for the Elite Day. Though Arkansas and TCU are also in it, there’s a feeling around campus that he could shut things down this weekend. A&M is also hosting the Pensacola duo of Hunter Rayburn and Adrian Medley on official visits this weekend. They have already been to Aggieland on an unofficial and this will be each of their first official visit. From talking to people in Florida, A&M is in the driver’s seat on this one. Jim Turner loves both guys. There could be a chance they decide this weekend but, even if not, the Aggies are in great shape. A&M is still not sure if Javonne Shepherd will make it on Friday or not. They obviously want him to and his friend Kenyon Green is in his ear. Getting him on campus this week would be huge coming off his trip to Texas on Tuesday. -Aledo cornerback Jeffery Carter had a bit of a surprise omission when he released his top four today. Despite being close to committing to Oregon not too long ago, the Ducks did not make the cut. It was A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas. The Crimson Tide have not been talked about a ton in his recruitment but it’s fair to say they are the leaders at this point. He will be in Tuscaloosa for the barbecue on June 22
