Afterwards they boarded buses for a trip to the local movie theater to see a horror movie and yell stuff at the screen

Peep this. Each week me and my boy, you know, we go to different theaters and stuff and sneak in and check out the movie.

Any chance someone could recap the commits Aggy picked up this weekend ?

-3 star JAG OLB from Tallahassee without any offers from the big Florida schools.

-3 star OT, who is the replacement for Shepherd (probably got pressured into it because he didn't have a spot until Shepherd said no)

Possible commits:

-a 3 star QB who has an offer from UGA to be their 3rd QB in this class , but whose best offer is Northwestern

-2 3 star JAG OL from Pensacola, FL that crazy Karen seems to think are good

-A 3 star C from Manvel

Calzada might be their QB take. Weird. If you go look at the past couple weeks posts about QBs you see Perroni saying he’s at the bottom of the list and that’s why his offer was conditional. 

That dude's offer list is the epitome of quantity over quality.

With those 2 commits the average player ranking for the aggy class now stands at #11.

Cucko and Brew gave it that extra push over the cliff. They turned it up all the way to 11.

Was this the kid who we thought was strongly leaning Texas, but then abruptly shifted interest towards A&M? 

His father, Bobby Meeks,  passed away abruptly and Texas was out of the recruitment. His mother and some friends steered his recruitment in very different directions. LSU should be a good fit for his skill set, honestly.

A realistic 2019 scenario: Absolute monster class for A&M
by Brian Perroni

Texas A&M closed out the class of 2018 incredibly strong and the new staff has also started the class of 2019 off with a bang as well. The Aggies currently sit at No. 4 in the team rankings and have a very real shot to finish with their best class ever.

Here is a very early look at a realistic potential class. Not all these players will end up as Aggies but A&M has the potential to land each and every one of them.

Also, there are names not on the list that will likely become serious targets. Jimbo Fisher and Co. will go across the nation looking for talent but those names are not on this list yet. Two positions that is likely to happen at are linebacker and offensive guard.

QB Grant Gunnell, Houston St. Pius: The first commit in the class, Gunnell is still taking other visits and there is definitely cause for concern. If he does not end up in the class, Fisher and Co. will look to find another player at the position relatively quickly to get it shored up. Arizona Commit

RB Isaiah Spiller, Klein Collins: A current Oklahoma pledge, Spiller is an Aggie legacy and spent this past Sunday in College Station. The four-star is a legitimate candidate to flip from the Sooners.

WR Kam Brown, Colleyville Heritage: A&M got its speed receiver for the class in the former UCLA commit as the four-star pledged to the Aggies over the weekend.

WR Chase Lane, Houston St. Pius: Lane has very good speed for the slot. He committed at the same time as Gunnell and the two are teammates and very good friends. He will likely end up with Gunnell if the QB does go elsewhere.

WR Theo Wease, Allen: The nation's No. 29 overall prospect did not have an offer from the previous staff but that has quickly changed. The one-time OU commit is very high on A&M. OU Commit

WR Arjei Henderson, Fort Bend Travis: Henderson and Wease want to play together in college. They previously committed to the Sooners together at the same time. The numbers are going to get interesting at receiver with so many good ones in the state. OU Commit

TE/H Elijah Higgins, Austin Bowie: The 6-3/215 four-star prospect is a high school receiver that some project to be a tight end. He has serious speed for his size and an offer list to back it up. He left A&M this past weekend with the Aggies in good shape. Higgins will likely see his ranking go up as other services adjust theirs.

TE/H Nnamdi Adim-Madumere, Fort Worth Southwest: Another high school receiver, expect the 6-3/225 junior to see his offer list increase a ton this spring and to likely shoot up the rankings as well. A&M was his first Power Five offer and I have a CB in on him to the Aggies.

OT Kenyon Green, Atasocita: The state's top-ranked player, the Aggies are in very good shape with the five-star tackle. He publicly named A&M his leader and it is going to take a lot of work by another school to keep him from being an Aggie.

OT Javonne Shepherd, Houston North Forest: The 6-7/305 junior looks the part of a future NFL left tackle. He and Green want to play together at the next level and A&M has done a very good job with him. Shepherd is another I expect to shoot up the rankings once more people see him in person.

DE Braedon Mowry, Katy Taylor: It looks like an A&M/OU battle for Mowry with the Aggie in very good shape. A&M has built a pipeline with Katy Taylor and the four-star DE looks likely to be the next to head to College Station.

DE Marcus Stripling, Katy Mayde Creek: The 6-2.5/260 defender was blown away by the new staff in Aggieland. He was already really high on A&M and is in College Station frequently to see friends. It is likely an A&M/OU battle but the Aggies are positioned well.

DT DeMarvin Leal, Converse Judson: Leal is another player I expect will see his ranking continue to rise as people actually see him in person. He is incredibly disruptive on the line and has a chance to finish in the discussions as the state's top player. He is a relatively quiet kid but has long been high on A&M.

DT Josh Ellison, A&M Consolidated: As long as he gets his academics in order, the local four-star prospect is going to see his offer list increase even more. He is high on both A&M and TCU early but he very well could stay in town to play his college ball.

DE/LB NaNa Osafo-Mensah, Fort Worth Nolan: A&M has a battle on its hands but Osafo-Mensah is the state's top edge rusher and a big priority target for the Aggies. He was in College Station this past weekend. ND Commit

LB Marcel Brooks, Flower Mound Marcus: The fast and hard-hitting linebacker has never shown much interest in A&M but the new staff changed that. He will be in College Station on Saturday with the Fast 7v7 team and his reaction will be interesting. He's the top pure linebacker in the state by far but the Aggies have work to do to catch up. LSU Commit

CB Bobby Wolfe, Houston Madison: A&M beat out numerous other teams for the 6-3/190 four-star prospect when he committed this past Sunday. Wolfe is an incredibly physical corner.

CB Marquez Beason, Dallas Bishop Dunne: There was thought that the national top 100 prospect could have possibly shut things down last weekend. That did not happen but I could still see it happening in the near future. Illinois Commit

CB Erick Young, Fort Bend Bush: Young and Wolfe are best friends and have long said they want to play together in college. The 6-1/195 four-star is a big-time A&M target and many expect he will be an Aggie as well.

CB Jeffery Carter, Aledo: This one is going to be a battle but the Aggie built some serious momentum by having him on campus each of the past two weekends. The former Oklahoma commit is close with Adim-Madumere and the two could very well end up together. Carter also plays on the same 7-on-7 team as several other players on this list.

S Brian Williams, Dallas Bishop Dunne: The five-star defender has already committed to A&M and has become a vocal leader in the class. Landing him a couple weeks back was huge for the Aggies.

S Demani Richardson, Waxahachie: The 6-2/205 defender loves to hit and does a great job in coverage. There was a ton of buzz out of College Station this past weekend and he was one of the players that came away very impressed.

K Caden Davis, Coppell: If not the country's top kicker for the class, he's very close. Davis committed to the previous staff and wants to be an Aggie, so he will be if the new staff decides to still take a kicker. More will likely be clear once a special teams coach is named and a kicking coach hired.

This class of 23 prospects would be incredibly loaded. Several of them are likely to see huge jumps in their current rankings as well.

Even before those players see their rankings rise, the 23 players listed would give A&M a team total of 301.24 with the current rankings. That would have finished No. 3 this year, No. 4 in 2017 and No. 2 in 2016.

Other players considered for inclusion:

WR Jordan Whittington, Cuero: Will A&M have room for that many receivers? Can the Aggies supplant Texas as the perceived current leader? Whittington is very, very good player and will be interesting to follow. Texas Commit

WR Jalen Curry, Houston St. Pius: Curry is a teammate of Gunnell and Lane and was also a Florida State commitment under Fisher. The receiver numbers are going to play a big role here as well.

TE Austin Stogner, Plano Prestonwood: A current OU commit, Stogner was high on both A&M and FSU when he committed to the Sooners. He is going to give the Aggies a long look and is also close friends with Gunnell. 

OL Branson Bragg, Crandall: The lone in-state interior lineman with an A&M offer, Bragg admits to growing up a big fan of Texas. He could be an in-state battle.

OL EJ Ndoma-Ogar, Allen: The four-star offensive guard has not received an A&M offer at this point but he is the type of player the Aggies have gone after on the interior recently. OU Commit

DE T'Vondre Sweat, Huntsville: From an hour down the road, Sweat says he grew up a big A&M fan. He was also visited by Fisher and several other Aggie coaches. He was once close to committing but has slowed things down a bit. Texas Commit

OT Tyler Johnson, Conroe Oak Ridge: The national top 100 prospect has a top three of A&M, OU and Texas. He has always seemingly liked the Longhorns, though, and was not at the Super Bowl event over the weekend. Texas Commit

CB Marcus Banks, Spring Dekaney: Banks has been on campus numerous times and A&M is one team he always mentions. The numbers at corner could get interesting as well, though. LSU Commit

How did Wolfe maintain his ranking after getting abused at the Dallas camp?

I don't get Wolfe's ranking at all. He's  physical but he can't cover at all. 

Seems like Wolfe needs to make a move to safety. 

I don't care one bit about missing out on Wolfe if he wants to play corner.

I doubt it. This is where Mama Banks has wanted him to be for various reasons. It's very possible that they do make some more trips and stuff, but I think he'll stay a Tiger.

Brian Perroni: QB Zach Calzada bonds with A&M commits, very close to a decision

Texas A&M is looking for its quarterback in the class of 2019 and the Aggies played host to one of their targets on Friday and Saturday in Zach Calzada of Buford (Ga.) Lanier. A&M has offered the 6-foot-3, 195-pound passer a couple weeks ago but they wanted to get him on campus so head coach Jimbo Fisher could see him as well. On Friday afternoon, Calzada threw with some very good receivers running routes for him.

"It went really well," Calzada said. "I got a chance to throw for coach Fisher with some of their commits and top targets. I threw to Kam Brown, the commit from St. Pius (Chase Lane), the tall and fast 2020 guy (Troy Omeire) and the tall receiver that sort of looked and played like Julio Jones (Dylan Wright)."

Fisher came away impressed with what he saw. "When I threw, I threw really well. He thought the same thing," Calzada said. "He told me that he was really impressed with the way that I can sling it, my ball placement, me accuracy, my arm strength. He opened up the doors for my commitment. That was one of the main purposes for the trip down here was to get to work out for him and make sure he thought highly of me.

"I got to talk to coach (Darrell) Dickey a lot too. I talked to the whole coaching staff. I really was able to build a good rapport with them as well as a lot of the 2019 commits that were there. I got to spend some time with the guys I would be spending the next four or five years with if I went there."

There were some specific recruits and current players that Calzada was able to bond with. "I talked to Kam Brown a lot," he said. "There were also two 2020 linemen, one was named Smart (Chibuzo) and the other was named Aki (Ogunbiyi). I talked to them a lot too. I am still learning a lot of names since there were a bunch of guys there. I also spent a bunch of time this weekend hanging out with Nick Starkel. I was able to build a relationship with him and talk to him a lot. I talked to Leon (O'Neal) a lot too and got to know him really well. It was cool to spend time with those guys and they all made me feel comfortable."

Calzada was coming off trips to UCLA and North Carolina this past week and has one, or possibly two more, before making a final decision. "I'm visiting Tennessee [Sunday] and Monday," he said. "I might go to Clemson on Wednesday - I'm not sure on that one yet. After that, I'm done with trips. I'm hoping to have a decision made by the end of the week or early next week."

I guess A&M's best chance for cornerbacks from the region at this point is to take a chance on Jeffrey Carter, if he's interested.

Of course, it's quite possible that Banks' recruitment has more twists and turns ahead of it.

If theres' any truth to what Taurean and Jeffrey said about wanting to play together, I'd expect an aggy offer for Taurean soon. Thankfully, knowing Patterson, he's already planting the seed that an aggy offer is just a ploy to get his cousin and they don't actually like him. I'm sure Patterson said the same with us, but we offered him after evaluating him in the spring, so I doubt it was as effective as it would be with an aggy offer now.

Wolfe isn't fluid at all in coverage. Really no clue why he's being projected as a corner. Granted, this pass was broken up but it had more to do with the late pass than anything. 

You can go watch the clips of him from the Rivals camp and the Opening. He gets burned almost every single time,  sometimes by no name guys. He's got pretty good size and athelticisim for his size, so I think he could make a decent safey. I like our safety prospects better, and I even like Caldwell better as a safety, but he wouldn't be bad take for aggy there. Granted, it's much more likely aggy plays him out of position at CB for the next 3 years because they have nothing there, like they're doing with Renfro.
