I mean, is it obvious that someone will? They have no conference, no schedule, a bunch of players about to hit the portal, and an administration that made a million promises and delivered on none of them. I don't think it's inconceivable that the program simply doesn't recover from this.

honestly why would Taylor want to inherit this mess?

Lol so anyway as I was saying

they had 34 commitments... Only 11 signed. 2/3 of their class chose not to sign even though they could and now we know why

Lol

sure, friend... Whatever helps you sleep at night

that's not an uncommon practice and sometimes high 3 stars get upgraded to 4 if they sign with a SEC team. I'm not saying you're wrong, just I can't corroborate 1 way or the other.

I'll reserve judgement until seeing the onfield product. Everyone thought that Marion was a home run hire and while Sac had more wins than they did the previous season they missed the mark on fulfilling preseason hype and promises.

according to 247 going into yesterday they had 34 commitments and 16 decommitments... Of the 34 commitments only 11 signed their LOI... Wooooooof. 50 different commits at one point in time down to 11 signees, they can smell the BS.

While I am impressed across the board in this recruiting class, here are a couple of guys that have me particularly excited as guys who could see the field early.

DB Chaz Gilbreath - Watching his highlights (which highlights are called highlights for a reason) he has a real capability to be sticky on receivers while getting his head turned around to watch the ball which is a skill that not a lot of high schoolers are able to demonstrate. He ended the season with 4 interceptions and 14 passes defended.

RB Coby Herman - Kid was an absolute production monster in high school. His senior season he had over 1400 rushing yards (9.77 yards per rush), but what could get him on the field early is that he is a very solid receiving back where he had over 600 receiving yards (20.8 yards per reception). Very athletic kid.

WR Jackson Fay - Similarly to Herman, Fay was a production monster his senior season with over 2200 all purpose yards. He's not the biggest kid (which has become the MO for our WR corps), but he straight up knows how to find the end zone. He broke 2 single season records at his high school for receiving TDs (18) and total TDs (33).

DL Ben Honebein - Dude put up 25 sacks in a season. I'm not familiar with Hawaiian high school football overall quality (I know that they put out plenty of FBS players, but not sure on the depth of teams), so I don't know if this is a situation of just beating up on bad OLs or not but 25 sacks would be like top 10 nationally for high school players.

OL Robert Beverly - If there's something you can't teach it is size and he's coming into college standing at 6'8 285. If he can beef up to fill out that frame this off season then he could be an absolute bully on the line.

That doesn't sound correct to me. Denham's profile page says "Also rated on various online scouting services: No. 11 in West by Studentsports.com, No. 7 in California, No. 58 nationally by Scout.com and No. 32 nationally by Rivals.com." but when I went and looked at the old rivals database (which was sold to on3) where I did not find him in their old rankings as well as the old scout database (acquired by 247) and did not see him there either... which I was surprised they still have the databases from recruiting classes 20 years ago.

4 and 5 star recruits have historically been almost exclusive to the power FBS conferences as freshmen. FCS teams are currently capable of landing some of them as transfers later on in their careers, but are rarely still considered 4 star players at that point in time.

I almost never use the composite when talking about rankings. 247 is basically the de facto recruiting source as far as I can tell. Other sites have really fallen off in terms of how many players they actually track in terms of ratings.

No, I believe Drew Cofield is the highest rated player (on 247 at least) that we've signed as a freshman. He was rated as an 87 with 4 star players being in the low to mid 90s

The list has been updated! Thanks to those who helped find offers and updates online! Always appreciate the help! Looks like the makings of a strong class that will get rounded out in February. GO AGS!

Nope looks like we nailed the list 100%. All recruits that were on the list as of this morning signed. No surprises good or bad. GO AGS!

Early signing period starts today! I'll get the big list updated as I can, but I have a pretty busy work day today so it might be tonight. GO AGS and welcome to all our new Aggies!

haha and yes what agalum said, several of us tried to sign up on your forum and none of us were successful. Either we're all dumb or there is an issue with the sign up process.

Welcome to our forum! Looking forward to this weekend! Should be a good battle!

Still a lot of tickets available... :grimace:
