Can't sign'em all.

Why not?

[baddog]

Why not?

Some of them want to play before they are gray headed.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Strong will either be the guy or he won't. Eventually, with the resources it has, the right guy will be hired (if it's not Charlie). And then sumlin or whoever is in Aggieland has to recruit school vs school, brand vs brand, and city vs city. A 100 year sample size (not the last 2) tells me he loses that battle.

You may well be right- but it is fun at the moment  :P

Yes it is :). I know the feeling. And Aggies are loyal fans and should enjoy every second of it!

Trust me this is one Aggie who is enjoying every moment.  

You can only sit through so many choruses of  "poor aggies....poor aggies" and not become jaded.

Heck, we even have some t-shirt fans now.

Why not?

The NCAA limits the amount of athletic scholarships you have available.

10 players are on that list from 2 different years. 4 are already committed to A&M. They have room if Sumlin wants them.

Sumlin quote from press conference this week:
"I know some things are being said in recruiting right now, that they're loaded. If we are, we are. If you're scared, this isn't the place for you."

[#62jjohnson]

Dont forget Athens Travon Fuller he committed too aggieland for 2016 last month .

[whatnamecanipick]

The bigger the stars, the bigger the splash.

 

This third year is when Coach Sumlin proves that he is not another "Coach February".

 

Ignore my posts, but the SPCFBG is right.

I think the 4th year isthe year when you can truly tell how a coach is doing.  He, at that point, has 2 years of his own upper classmen.  5 years might even be a better test, because his redshirts are seniors.  It's just hard these days to give a guy 5 years to succeed.

I don't totally agree, but you are thinking along the right lines!

Looking how they are going to stop Alex Collins. He is the best RB nobody talks about

I watched a replay on the sec net.

 

He is a very patient running back. He really waits dor the running lane to open.

 

Arkansas will surely test the "Wrecking Crew II".

Aggie defense gets enough stops while the offense will keep on keeping on. Arkansas played their best game of the year against Tech last week, but there will be no repeat performance. ATM gains more national attention. I don't see anyone in the SEC being able to get into a scorefest with them unless it's Alabama. Gotta give em props on their run thus far. Sumlin might just be building a dynasty of epic proportion.

[shovel]

I'm anxious to see if the Razorbacks can exploit the A&M secondary. I'm also anxious to see A&M's offense against the Arkansas defense. Looks to be a great game at a neutral site. If I gotta pick a winner, I'll say A&M by a single score..

Great running game for sure but once A&M gets a lead, the piggies will have to throw to keep up.  They haven't shown they can do that yet.  They beat Tech with just 61 passing yards.  The Aggies' D has a 15.8 percent sack rate on passing downs, good enough for tenth in the nation.  I like the Ags in this one.

17 sacks vs SC, Rice, Lamar, and SMU.

 

I bet Arkansas has a little bit better o-line than 3/4 of those teams.
