Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's


Recommended Posts

Aggy hosting more Top 2 guys this weekend ::

 

via Hamm Lite ::

Texas A&M has been busy hosting a ton of visitors for spring practice so far and this week's list just got some big additions. A large group of players from Pensacola High School in the Florida Panhandle will be in Aggieland on Wednesday.

Two offensive linemen that have A&M offers will be there in tackle Adrian Medley and guard Hunter Rayburn. Medley holds close to 30 offers with Florida State and Clemson both have Crystal Ball predictions. Rayburn was offered by A&M in the middle of last month and is seeing his stock start to take off a bit.

The other prospects that will be with the group are tight end Greg Perkins - who holds a UAB offer, wide receiver Earnest Stallworth - who has offers from Southern Miss and UAB, and linebacker/safety Najahte King.

 

Again, the path to the top 2 is not littered with 3 stars and unranked kids... 

... but the 2019 Aggy class will be.

So texags and now Hammster have acknowledged that Texas is at the top for guys like Shepherd and will take over the state.  It's only a matter of time before Perroni breaks the news to his subs when he starts changing crystal ball picks and has to explain it.

They're dreaming if they think they'll get those guys. Medley winds up at FSU or Clemson.

Top targets to reschedule A&M official visits

Damon Sayles - 40 minutes agoVIP4



A little "good news, bad news" for Texas A&M football recruiting fans:

The bad news: The 4-star wide receiver tandem of Theo Wease and Arjei Henderson, who originally were scheduled to be on campus for an official visit this weekend, told GigEm247 they will not be in College Station this weekend.

The good news: Both still have very high interest in the Aggies and plan on officially visiting the campus in the fall.

Wease, the 6-foot-3, 194-pound receiver from Allen (Texas) High School, said he wanted both of his parents to be on the official visit to Texas A&M. Because of scheduling conflicts, that cannot happen this weekend, he said, and he said he will look into an official visit to Aggieland sometime in the fall.



Henderson, a 6-foot-1, 183-pound receiver from Fort Bend (Texas) Travis High School, won't be in College Station because of a 7-on-7 tournament. He plays for Houston-based Team Texas Elite.

This means Oklahoma will get both wide receivers' first official visits the weekend of April 13. Both once were committed to Oklahoma but chose to reopen their recruiting processes to further explore options.

Wease told GigEm247 that an official visit to LSU will follow the weekend on April 20, and USC will get a visit the weekend of June 22. For both Wease and Henderson, a delayed visit to Texas A&M -- a place they've frequented several times already -- could be a good thing for the Aggies, as a fall visit could be the last of their processes -- which could play in the Aggies' hands, as both receivers have discussed signing during the early period.

Wease announced his top five of Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma and USC on Sunday. He is ranked the nation's No. 5 wide receiver and No. 31 player overall, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. Wease caught 53 passes for 852 yards and 14 touchdowns last season for Allen, which won the UIL Class 6A state championship.

Henderson caught 81 passes for 1,168 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior. He announced a top three of Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Alabama. He is ranked the nation's No. 8 wide receiver and No. 51 player overall, per the 247Sports Composite

"Is Texas doing something we aren't that is helping their recruiting"

They are being Texas and you're being A&M?

Starting DTs in Spring practice are Madubuike and Keke. Mack not even starting heading into his SR year. 

Talk about a bust. 

Yeah, but that trademark was worth every penny.

I was so upset when they flirted here then stuck with aggy.  There's a very good reason I don't do this shit for a living.

A little "good news, bad news" for Texas A&M football recruiting fans:
 

Much more likely neither make it in the fall as they probably shut things down long before it gets that far.

Unlike aggy, we would rather Wease and Henderson go there rather then ou. They would be happy if our targets went to LSU or Bama.

I underlined some fun parts

From what we understand, the defense has been ahead of the offense so far this spring and that carried over to the scrimmage that the two units had last week. There’s been two primary reasons for that.

-First, the change in scheme has been less radical for the defense (although probably not as a simple as defensive tackle Kingsley Kekemade it out to be in interviews last week). In the spread, A&M used spacing and options to determine where the ball went and decisions were simpler. In the West Coast, there’s a displacement/power and timing element to the offense, both of which require more out of the players. The terminology is also lengthier and more detailed. Second, the defense has more experienced depth with regard to replacing people lost from 2017.

-For the most part, quarterbacks Nick Starkel and Kellen Mond have gone back and forth this spring. One will have the upper hand one day and then the other will be the better player the next. That’s evidenced by the fact that head coach Jimbo Fisher trotted out both players for interviews last week. A new offense that places greater emphasis on timing, moving quickly, and requiring more coordination from an athletic standpoint in the drops and footwork has made Mond more competitive. He’s a better athlete and more fluid. In addition, when things go south…missed blocks, the wrong route…Mond is better able to go off script. He’s also improved his delivery (how high he holds the ball, rotating through his hips).

Starkel still has better arm talent, is more likely to hit someone down the field with touch, and is more likely to snap a throw off into a tight window. He had a couple of interceptions in the scrimmage but otherwise probably had the better performance. Starkel had issues with turnovers in the pre season as well but overcame those problems once he returned from his injury. Mond had a couple of nice plays.

-Trayveon Williams had a long run in the scrimmage but like the rest of the backs he’s learning the nuances of a new running game with inside and outside zone, the footwork involved in bending a play back to the inside or trending it outside, and following a lead blocker. Kendall Bussey did relatively well in the scrimmage as he is coordinated and has been good at maintaining his balance after contact. Of all of the position groups, the off season workouts probably helped the running backs more than any other. They’re noticeably more defined and stronger.

-The receivers are trying to avoid being the backup to Jhamon Ausbon on one side because he’s the one outside guy who’s definitely going to start. He’s bigger, more physical, and more experienced (in terms of playing time) than the other wideouts and he’s an excellent blocker, physical with strong hands to steer people. Although A&M will rotate people at the position, people don’t want to have to compete with Ausbon. Clyde Chriss had a deep reception on Saturday and probably had more time opposite Ausbon with the first unit than anyone else (although Hezekiah Jones had multiple receptions in the scrimmage and Camron Buckley has been as good as anyone else this spring or better). Everyone is trying to take advantage of the absence of Kendrick Rogers due to injury.

The biggest challenge for the wideouts has been transitioning from an offense in which timing was less of an issue and spacing was an important component in getting open to an attack in which they run more precise routes, coordinate the timing of those routes with the quarterback’s drop, and then stick the route on time to provide separation. It’s going to take time for this transition to take place.

-The tight ends are making the same transition that the receivers are in terms of reading coverages and running routes. They haven’t been asked to do things to this level of precision before such as maintain the plane of an option route virtually all of the way to the sidelines so that they’re maintaining a consistent depth for the quarterback. The group is making plays but the precision is not where anyone wants it to be and again it’s going to take time for them to be on the same page as the quarterbacks. A&M thinks it has something with junior college transfer Jace Sternberger while Keynel McZeal is a fluid player catching the ball.

-The offensive line is a work in progress. They’re missing Connor Lanfear, who’s out due to injury. As with the remainder of the offense, they’re learning a different way of doing things from the ground up. Last season, the group was at its best on running plays involving movement such as counters; this spring, they’re being asked to displace people more often and hold blocks longer in pass protection. As a result, it’s resulted in an inconsistent level of productivity so far. The best player among the first unit has been center Erik McCoy, who has adapted well to the more physical brand of offense and continues to be able to play with great pad level and hands.

-The defensive line has got a couple of very good pieces in defensive tackle Kingsley Keke and end Landis Durham. Durham continues to impress people with his hands, footwork, effort, and versatility (dropping into coverage or playing on the line). Keke is commanding a double team most of the time working at both spots on the interior. Justin Madubuike has come on to earn most of the time with the first unit opposite Keke with his get off and Micheal Clemons has the spot opposite Durham with his overall athleticism. The second unit had a very nice scrimmage as well. Both groups are benefitting from the scheme in which there are a lot of stunts that keep individual linemen on the move and offensive linemen involved and get the safeties involved in run support.

-An experienced defensive line with depth means that the linebacking corps has gotten better protection and is able to make plays. So far, Santino Marchiol has stayed healthy and on the field; as a result, he is using his increased size and ability to square up to really ring people up. Mike backer Tyrel Dodson remains the best of the group as his footwork and ability to read blocks means that he makes more plays than anyone else.

-The secondary benefitted from inexperienced quarterbacks and wideouts last fall and spring in terms of skill players who didn’t always make the right reads or run the right routes as well as issues on the offensive line. Throw in the fact that the secondary is a much more experienced group this spring than the guys they’re covering and they continue to have the upper hand. Clifford Chattman has moved into the corner spot opposite Charles Oliver (with the absence of Debione Renfro due to injury) and his length bothers receivers who are still adapting to a new way of doing things. Safeties Derrick Tucker and Donovan Wilson have been physical and adapted well to the defense. Deshawn Capers-Smith has emerged as the nickel in passing situations and has the short area quickness to cover and hit.

-Finally, the kickers have been very good, as good as any unit on the team. Daniel LaCamera misses maybe one long kick a practice and Braden Mann consistently delivers long punts and kickoffs.

If THAT secondary has the upper hand, then Jimbo might as well book a December vacation right now.

We know how this ends: spread offense previously relying heavily on counter run plays switches to under-center pro-style run game without the needed personnel.

So basically he's bigger and you're if you're standing still so he doesn't have to chase you, he'll attempt to knock the piss out of you.  

Was Tarp watching Marchiol hit a tackling dummy?

Ah yes, the classic aggy recruiting reporter method of letting the sheeple down slowly.  It used to be, "stone cold locks to aggy." Then it was Green and Shepperd "are getting better acquainted" with the UT staff. Now it's "Texas has gotten its foot in the door but I think both still end up at A&M."  Soon it will be, it's a close race and Texas has pulled even.  They'll keep that line going for a while even though they know UT is in the lead and then finally, it will all be capped off with a glorious Perroni CB for both to Texas.  

This happens every year and yet I never grow tired of it.

If you're looking for the trademark delusion, there was this thread posted on the CFB subreddit in late February: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/80aceh/call_your_shot_what_class_do_you_end_up_with_in/

This is a bit optimistic, but we are still almost a year from NSD and everyone thinks that they lead for everyone. I think we end up with this class if I had to guess today, but we will probably end up missing out on a few when it is all said and done.

  • Trey Sanders RB (5-11.5 / 216) 5*
  • Kenyon Green OT (6-5 / 315) 5*
  • Brian Williams S (6-0 / 185) 5*
  • Theo Wease WR (6-3 / 194) 4*
  • Arjei Henderson WR (6-1 / 179) 4*
  • Marquez Beason ATH (5-11 / 173) 4*
  • Erick Young CB (6-1 / 195)0.9597 4*
  • Austin Stogner TE (6-6 / 230) 4*
  • DeMarvin Leal DT (6-4 / 280) 4*
  • NaNa Osafo-Mensah WDE (6-4 / 227) 4*
  • Marcus Stripling SDE (6-3 / 265) 4*
  • Kam Brown WR (6-0 / 170) 4*
  • Demani Richardson S (6-2 / 205) 4*
  • Kane Patterson OLB (6-1 / 212) 4*
  • Bobby Wolfe CB (6-3 / 190) 4*
  • Isaiah Spiller RB (6-1 / 185) 4*
  • Braedon Mowry WDE (6-4 / 235) 4*
  • Javonne Shepherd OT (6-6.5 / 315) 4*
  • Branson Bragg OC (6-4 / 295) 4*
  • Gilbert Ibeneme SDE (6-3 / 255) 4*
  • Zach Edwards ILB (6-2 / 217) 3*
  • Josh Ellison DT (6-3 / 300) 3*
  • Ty Evans PRO (6-2 / 192) 3*
  • Trevor Roberson OT (6-11 / 354) 3*
  • Baylor Cupp TE (6-6 / 235) 3*
  • Chase Lane WR (6-0 / 185) 3*
  • Caden Davis K (6-1 / 186) 3*

Linebacker was by far the hardest position to judge, and so I just picked two that have been warm on us. We probably end up with Osafo-Mensah and two other linebackers who I am not really aware of yet. QB was also difficult - I will say that we flip Ty Evans but I honestly have no clue. We seem to be out of it with Gunnell, but Taisun Phommacha or Chase Griffin. At running back, I am going bold and predicting we also get Sanders, but I am confident in saying that we will get an elite back whether or not it ends up being him (it could also be Glass or Cain).

This class would most likely be 2nd in the country (if not first) as Georgia will waltz their way to number one. I think that we will probably end up 3rd though as not every player I listed will end up committing.

Here are some other players that we are in the mix for:

  • RB Deondrick Glass
  • RB Noah Cain
  • RB Eric Gray
  • WR Jordan Whittington
  • WR Garrett Wilson
  • WR Jalen Curry
  • WR Elijah Higgins
  • TE Ethan Rae
  • TE Nnamdi Adim-Madumere
  • OT Tyler Johnson
  • DE T'Vondre Sweat
  • LB Lakia Henry
  • LB Marcel Brooks
  • CB Chris Steele
  • CB Jeffery Carter
  • CB Marcus Banks
  • ATH Jaren Mangham

Of those, Jaren Mangham, Jordan Whittington, Elijah Higgins, T'Vondre Sweat, and Jeffery Carter seem to be the most likely of the bunch to potentially commit [to Texas]. Also, look for a few people who are either not yet offered (particularly at lb and and) or not really known yet to be a part of the class.

That's my projection for A&M's class. What about y'alls teams?

Edit: I have said that this class will likely end up worse than what I’m projecting (it’s a year away, some guys will lose interest in us, we’ll find new recruits, etc), so can we please move on? Most rankings at this time will be optimistic compared to what actually happens. This is also what the RemindMe bot is for. Many of my reasonable comments where I just explain my reasoning and stuff hey downvotes for no reason. The point of this thread is to make projections for your team for the c/o 2019 (based off of what we know currently).

From what we understand, the SEC defense has been ahead of the SEC offense so far this spring and that carried over to the SEC scrimmage that the two SEC units had last week. There’s been two primary reasons for that.

-First, Jimbo is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. In the spread, A&M used athletes recruited to run that offense and who had grown up running that offense. In the West Coast, none of these guys have a fucking clue what they are doing. The terminology is also lengthier and for Aggies, understanding more than a few words at a time is borderline impossible. Second, the defense has more SEC experience and SEC depth with regard to replacing people lost from the premier in state SEC program's 2017 SEC season.

-For the most part, quarterbacks Nick Starkel and Kellen Mond have gone back and forth this spring. One will shit the bed one day and then the other will shit the bed the next. In true cuck fashion, that’s evidenced by the fact that national championship winning SEC West head coach Jimbo "Cucklord" Fisher trotted out both players for interviews last week. A new offense that places greater emphasis on timing, moving quickly, and requiring more coordination from an athletic standpoint is going to get proper fucked because we don't have Jameis "Crablord" Winston to run it. They're all ass my dude. In addition, when things go south…missed blocks, the wrong route, the usual…Mond can run for his life. He’s also improved his delivery (bending over, hands on his knees).

Ass my dude still has better arm talent, is more likely to hit someone down the field with pizzazz, and is more likely to snap his dick off in Candi. He had seventeen interceptions in the scrimmage but otherwise probably had the better performance. AMD had issues with turnovers in the pre season as well but overcame those problems once he returned from his injury. Mond had two nice plays. We're fucked.

-Trayveon Williams had a long run in warmups during wind sprints but like the rest of the backs he’s learning the nuances of getting lost in the pack, not finishing first or last, and blending in with the crowd. Kendall Bussey did relatively well in warmups as he is coordinated and has been good at maintaining his balance during downward dog. Of all of the position groups, the off season workouts probably helped the running backs more than any other. Like my veiny hard cock, they’re noticeably more defined and stronger.

-The receivers are trying to avoid being the backup to Jhamon Ausbon on one side because he’s more SEC than the SEC. He’s more SEC big, SEC physical, and SEC experienced than the other wideouts and he’s an SEC blocker, physical with strong SEC hands to steer people. Although Candi will rotate people using different positions, people don’t want to have to cuckpete with Ausbon. Clyde Chriss had a deep dick on Candi and probably had more time inside than Ausbon with the first tag team (although Hezekiah Jones had multiple penetrations in the gang bang and Camron Buckley has been as good as anyone else this spring or better). Everyone is trying to take advantage of the absence of Kendrick Rogers due to injury.

The biggest challenge for the wideouts has been transitioning from an offense in which they grew up playing to an attack in which they have no business playing. It's going to take too much time for this transition to take place. Luckily we have 10 years.

-The tight ends are making the same transition that the receivers are in terms of not knowing where to go or when to do it. They haven’t been asked to do things this foreign to them before such as maintain the private plane Jimbo bought after he signed his contract. The group isn't making plays and the precision is not where anyone wants it to be and again it’s going to take time for them to be as lost as the quarterbacks. A&M thinks it has something with SEC ready junior college transfer Jace Sternberger while Keynel McZeal is a fluid.

-The offensive line is a pile of shit. They’re missing Connor Lanfear, who’s out due to injury. As with the remainder of the offense, they’re learning an old ineffective way of doing things from the ground up. Last season, the group was at its best during the second half against UCLA and in the bowl game against Wake Forest; this spring, they’re being asked to do things they aren't good at which will result in the death of our quarterbacks. As a result, they're still shitty. The best player among the first unit has been SEC center Erik McCoy, who has adapted well to the more SEC style physical brand of offense and continues to be able to play with SEC pad level and SEC hands.

-The defensive line has got a couple of SEC good pieces in defensive tackle Kingsley Keke and end Landis Durham. Durham continues to impress people with his head, shoulders, knees, and toes (dropping to all fours or taking it from behind). Keke is demanding a double team most of the time working both spots on Candi. Justin Madubuike has come on to earn most of the time with the first unit opposite Keke with his get off. Micheal Clemons has the spot opposite Durham with his SEC athleticism. The second unit had a very nice scrimmage as well. Both groups are benefiting from the scheme in which a washed up former national championship head coach tricks some rubes into guaranteeing a 10 year 75 million dollar contract.

-An experienced defensive line with depth means that the linebacking corps is still fucked due to neglect in recruiting. So far, Santino Marchiol has stayed healthy and on the field; as a result, the practice is slowed way down in order to wait for him to get on and off the field. Like being the smartest retard, Mike backer Tyrel Dodson remains the best of the group and makes more plays (4) than anyone else.

-The shitty secondary benefited from ass my dude quarterbacks and wideouts last fall and spring in terms of skill players who didn’t know what the fuck they were doing as well as issues on the offensive line. Throw in the fact that the shitty secondary is a much more experienced group this spring than the guys they’re covering and we're fucked. Clifford Chattman has moved into the corner spot opposite Charles Oliver (with the absence of Debione Renfro due to injury) and his length bothers Candi who is still adapting to a new way of doing things. Safeties Derrick Tucker and Donovan Wilson have been physical and adapted well to the cucking. Deshawn Capers-Smith has emerged as the nickel in gang bang situations.

-Finally, the kickers have been very good, as good as any unit on the team. Daniel LaCamera misses maybe one long kick a practice and Braden Mann consistently delivers long punts. We'll need it.

A few little corrections.
