Jashaun Corbin, Sophomore

OR Can't be criticized for running the ball a zillion times for 2 yards a carry if you just kneel it every first and second down to wind some clock.

OR Vernon Jackson, Sophomore

OR Can we put a tight end at Running Back?

OR Cordarrian Richardson, Sophomore

OR Jacob Kibodi, Sophomore

OR Brewster promised me he was recruiting us a running back this year. Fuck you, Mack Brown.

OR Deneric Prince, RS Freshman

OR Maybe see if that bucket over there can be a running back?  Just put the ball in it and let's hope it doesn't fumble.

OR Maybe if I grab a guy by the facemask and scream at him the right mystical combination of Appalachian toadman phrases, he will magically turn into Dalvin Cook

OR Can't wait until I get paid this entire $75 million so I can finally launch my Muskrat Jerky empire.

If you're going to post it, post the whole thing.  I went ahead and fixed it for you, above.

With them running traveon a thousand times last season, how did none of those top 4 redshirt?

I mean, assuming you're Jimbo "I'm the Smartest Corch Alive" Fisher and had his untempered optimism you were going to turn aTm into a legitimate contender, would YOU want any of those slapdicks on your roster any longer than necessary? That goes double for Jackson unless he's going to suddenly have an epiphany and switch back to the defensive side of the ball.

Brutal, unbelievable we are gonna whiff on the 3 stud in state back.

The fact that a whiny, meltdown, woe-is-me, sky-is-falling post like this one got 49 likes makes me want to officially announce my retirement and shut down this site altogether.  

Not really, but, damn, this is about as bad as it gets in terms of an overreaction. For several reasons.

For starters, there's the fact that Sam Adams is still out there as an elite, nationally-recruited target.  

Then, there's the fact that it will be interesting to see how McGowan's commit impacts longtime OU pledge Jace McLellan's decision, as he's been high on Coach Fisher and a couple of other schools along the way since choosing OU nearly two years ago.

The Ags didn't make Zach Evans' list of finalists, yet he's still in consistent contact with the A&M head coach ANNNNNNNNDDDDDD....

We're not even close to National Signing Day.

With that in mind, there are other reasons why reacting to news that isn't positive in such a ridiculous manner is so over-the-top that I almost didn't even reply.  

For starters, Jay Graham has done a pretty damned good job of recruiting the position since arriving, whether it's unearthing under-the-casual-fan's radar guys from out of state who turn out to be pretty highly-regarded (and getting them). You know, dudes like Jashaun Corbin, who anyone who follows A&M football is excited about this season. There are also the high-profile battles won - like flipping Vernon Jackson from Alabama and flipping Isaiah Spiller from, you guessed it, the Oklahoma Sooners.

Long story short, there's no way I can guarantee you anything at this point but what I can say is I'm not worried about the Aggies finding a quality tailback in this class.

Oh, and I've got a couple of more reasons why this overreaction was so despicable (sorry, I've been wanting to use that word all week).

1 If losing out on McGowan and things not looking overly promising (as of TODAY, mind you) was worthy of eliciting such a "RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!' reply, then you're clearly too focused on that and not the positive momentum we're beginning to see from the Ags on the recruiting front. It's going exactly as predicted. No, it's not perfect and the Aggies aren't yet on a top-5 trajectory, but they're clearly heating up and about to get hotter. On top of that, to assume the worst out of Jimbo and this staff is really tough to grasp, considering his track record not only over a 10-year head coaching career but also every stop along the way as an ace recruiting assistant and (ESPECIALLY) seeing what he's done since arriving in College Station. With the wway things are going, the timing of picking one position - and it is is further down on the need meter, mind you - assuming the worst-case scenario finish and flipping out just seems completely out of touch.

2 The 'OU is kicking so much ass' narrative isn't at all accurate. McLellan and Trejan Bridges were committed before Jimbo Fisher was hired at A&M. Outside of that, the Sooners have signed or committed 16 other Texans. Here are the ones that hurt the Ags in any way whatsoever and/or that the Ags coveted: McGowan, Theo Wease, David Ugwoegbu, Ryan Watts. That's literally it. A&M's class finished higher than Oklahoma's last year. They're only a few spots behind the Sooners right now and, if things play out over the next week the way I expect they will, Jimbo and Co. probably pass them. 

Rant over. Going to enjoy my evening. You guys can debate this all you want. Hopefully common sense and sanity prevail.

Loochi is on tilt badly enough that I wonder if his readers actually don’t buy it this time around. Lauding a RB coach for landing a legacy and a defensive lineman? Talking up Sam Adams, who isn’t picking A&M? Talking about still communicating with Zach as if that will help the football team when he’s at Bama? 

He should be talking up all the defensive line prospects they’re having on campus this week, not their pyrite running back room and running back recruiting board column

Of course they'll get a quality tailback because, for Liucci, if a player chooses A&M he is by definition a quality, SEC material, extremely heterosexual football player.  Just check out Chin Pubes' Top 20. They'll all be right there.

Also Derrick Tucker just got himself arrested

Quote

The fight began after the two started arguing over tacos. The victim claims he and Tucker got into a mutual physical altercation, which was broken up. The victim then says Tucker fled the scene only to return a few minutes later and strike him in the back of the head.

How Bama, who gets to cherry pick 3*s and who uses an NFL style culling evaluation method, has done with 3*s (stealing this from elsewhere)

Let's start with 2016 247 composite and work our way back since they have at least been 3 seasons in at this point. We'll look at non specialists 3 star players or below that went to Bama, ALL of them for the last several years.

2016
WR T.J. Simmons - Transferred out
TE Miller Forristall - 6 catches in 3 seasons
RB Josh Jacobs - Big hit, drafted 1st round
DE Jamar King - 6 tackles in 3 seasons
TE Irv Smith Jr - big hit, drafted 2nd round
CB Aaron Robinson - Transferred out
LB Shawn Jennings - Transferred out
LB Joe Donald - No stats in 3 seasons
- 2 out of 8 players turned into anything -

2015
DE Christian Bell - Transferred out
DT Jonathan Taylor - Transferred out
S Keaton Anderson - 21 tackles in 4 years (assuming special teamer)
OT Matt Womack - Starter 1 season in 4 years
- 1 out 4 players turned into anything -

2014
DE O.J. Smith - Transferred out
TE Ty Flournoy-Smith - 5 catches in 2 seasons
- 0 out of 2 players turned into anything -

2013
WR Raheem Falkins - Transferred out
CB/S Eddie Jackson - Good player, 4th round pick
OC Bradley Bozeman - 2 year starter, 6th round pick
CB Jonathan Cook - Transferred out
OT Brandon Hill - Transferred out
ILB Walker Jones - 1 tackle in career
QB Parker McLeod - Transferred out
- 2 out of 7 players turned into anything -

2012
DE Dakota Ball - 13 tackles in 4 seasons
CB Deion Belue - 2 year starter at CB, undrafted though
TE Kurt Freitag - Kicked off/transferred
QB Alec Morris - Transferred out
DT Darren Lake - career backup
OT Caleb Gulledge - Transferred out
- 1 out of 6 players turned into anything -

So over that most recent 5 year span, 6 out of 27 3 stars or below, who WEREN'T specialists, turned into anything at Bama. So again, my point stands, Saban isn't some kind of 3-star recruiting savant. Roughly 20% of the 3 stars really do anything at Bama most recently. It's not really different at a lot of other big power 5 recruiting prowess schools either.

The point here is some ridiculous notion Saban has a great eye for the "lesser" (3-star) players than others, it's false. He very very much gets by on all the highly talented guys, not hitting on any sort of high rate on 3-stars.

This is great. I remember looking up a few classes to see Bama’s 3 stars during one of the many Oscar Giles arguments I’ve gotten sucked into and thinking the hit rate was around that but I wasn’t gonna take the time to list them all out to show everyone.

"They (OU) couldn't even beat Georgia - who had something to play for - ..."

 

They're actually never gonna stop thinking that Georgia just didn't feel like playing football against us. They feel the need to emphasize when they did or didn't have "something to play for" smh

Durrr OU couldn't beat UGA! BDF is not on the same playing field!

LSU going to run right through them!

 

It's like they willingly block out Texas mauling UGA and Mizzou in back-to-back years.

Until we beat Bama (and it "means" something) they are never going to shut up.   Because that one year, they beat bama so they are a better program, in a better conference.  Any other longhorn win can be excused in their minds.

This is so fun.

All of their RBs would start at 90% of the other college programs.

King is easily the best QB in Texas, but he won't be as good as whoever finally signs with A&M.

Mizzou Georgia LSU will unleash SEC (our!) fury on tu. Just you wait! LSU, we'll hold your coat.

Ever present Aggie circular reasoning about Jimbo. Jimbo is a brilliant recruiter, therefore all of his recruits are great because he recruited them thus Jimbo is a brilliant recruiter. It's part of the canon just like:

  • Close losses to good teams are better than wins against other teams;
  • Even though tu beat us, we beat Baylor by a bigger margin than they did, so we're actually the better team; 
  • We don't care about tu, but, goddamn it, we hate it when they say we're not their chief rival; and
  • We're not afraid to play tu.

Good god, how on Earth did they think this guy was worthy of a scholarship?

Please let them keep him along with the other 2 scrub OL commits.  My hope is also somehow the DT takes for them are Wright and the New Jersey DT.

If you can’t get up for a NY6 bowl (they did) then you are still the shittier team, just mentally. Their argument is invalid no matter how you spin it.
