Last weekend Champion Allison had his official visit. Would be nice to get him to sign. He recently competed for the US at the World Junior Championship. He got a gold medal in the 4x400 relay

Personal Records
  • 100m - 10.44
  • 200m (in) - 22.16
  • 200m - 20.71
  • 400m (in) - 47.31
  • 400m - 46.40

Not sure who else visited last week. Maybe female 100m and 400m hurdler Milan Young

Champ Allison is a super prospect! Can't help but think that with a beautiful new track and field stadium coming in the Spring of '18, Coach Henry should have an awesome recruiting class!

Interesting, Sategna is on leave at tu. Coupled with the new stadium, looks like we should have a strong class.

Recruiting Round Up

Texas A&M is considering the following top recruit according to milesplit

1. Champion Allison Richmond, Texas
He is also considering Florida, Baylor, Alabama and Texas

Personal Records
  • 100m - 10.44
  • 200m (in) - 22.16
  • 200m - 20.71
  • 400m (in) - 47.31
  • 400m - 46.40

2. Kaylor Harris Mesquite, Texas
She is also considering Alabama, Baylor, Texas Tech and Arkansas

Personal Records
  • 60m (in) - 7.48
  • 100m - 11.34
  • 200m - 23.81
  • Long Jump (in) - 18-5
  • Long Jump - 20-5.75
  • Triple Jump - 36-

3. Charles Brockman Plano, Texas
He is also considering Alabama, Baylor, North Carolina, Mississippi State

Personal Records
  • 60mH (in) - 8.21
  • 110mH - 13.75
  • 300mH - 36.39
  • 400mH - 51.11

4. Cameron Cooper Detroit Michigan
He is also considering Alabama, Texas Tech, Georgetown, Indiana and LSU

Personal Records
  • 400m (in) - 50.77
  • 800m (in) - 1:50.97
  • 800m - 1:49.71
  • 1500m - 3:54.45
  • 1600m (in) - 4:19.10
  • 1600m - 4:13.58
  • 1 Mile (in) - 4:30.47

If Donavan Brazier was still in College station it would have helped with this recruit for sure. Brazier apparently went to UCF in Florida

5. Shamon Ethiemua Missouri City Texas
He is also considering TCU, Baylor, Florida State, Missouri

Personal Records
  • 60m (in) - 6.90
  • 60m - 6.94
  • 100m - 10.29
  • 200m (in) - 21.61
  • 200m - 20.56
  • 400m - 47.92

It would be great to get all these recruits especially with four of them being from Texas.
It would be very interesting on signing especially seeing Florida going after Champion Allison from Texas.
Let's hope that these Texas recruits stay in Texas and pick the Aggies especially with the expected outdoor track and top indoor track

Top US 400m runner Lynna Irby is not being recruited by Texas A&M. She is considering Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Miami, Texas
She is good in 100m, 200m and 400m
Personal Records
  • 55m (in) - 6.90
  • 60m (in) - 7.40
  • 100m - 11.47
  • 200m (in) - 24.07
  • 200m - 23.53
  • 400m - 51.39
Wondering if the Aggies should make a push for her

Top high school 200m runner Lauren Rain Williams (Westlake Village, CA, USA) has listed her final 4 schools
Texas A&M, USC, Oregon and Oklahoma
She has already visited Texas A&M and USC. She has indicated that USC is high on her list.
I don't feel though she will leave west coast (California or Oregon ) to come Texas

Her Personal Bests are
  • 55m (in) - 6.83
  • 60m (in) - 7.35
  • 100m - 11.17
  • 200m (in) - 23.23
  • 200m - 22.44
  • 300m (in) - 37.81
  • 400m - 55.33

"Kate Murphy Commits To Oregon"
Murphy is the fastest-ever prep over 1500m not to turn pro while still in high school, as her time is third only behind Mary cain and Alexa Efraimson.
Her Best Times are
800m - 2:06.70
1000m (in) - 2:45.36
1500m - 4:07.21

If we can only get just one distance runner on the men and women side who could score at the NCAA would be so nice.
Arkansas and Oregon will always have a chance of winning the Indoor and Outdoor Championship because of having potential scorers in all areas of sprint, hurdles, distance and field events

Looking forward to great recruiting class this year for the Aggies

It's a shock that Lauren Rain Williams still has A&M in the mix. If you're a track fan and haven't seen her, it's worth a minute to watch some video. It's been widely assumed that Williams will commit to USC, who has been a monster recruiting sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers the past few years. Would be a huge coup if Coach Henry could lure her to Texas, but the possibility seems remote.

What is all of the interest in Alabama all of a sudden? Did they get a new high profile coach who is building a competitive program? Didn't know they were ever a factor in T&F.
tk for tu juan
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Alabama's coach was an assistant at A&M during the double three-peat national championship run. Probably going after the same recruits since he is from the Pat Henry coaching tree and runs the program in a similar fashion.

Very good pick up by the Aggies.
It is about time we get some good sprint hurdlers even if it from outside Texas
Over the last couple of years the top sprint hurdlers from Texas refused to come to A&M
Alaysha Johnson went to Oregon a couple of years ago.
This year two of the top hurdlers in the country form Texas, Alexis Duncan went to tu and Tonea Marshall went to LSU
mred
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Marshall won 5a state in the 100mh last year with a time of 13.30 and Duncan's time coming into the 6a state 100mh final was 13.44 Looks to be a good pickup.

Alabama on a roll.
The nation's No. 2 ranked pole vaulter in Ryan Lipe has announced his verbal commitment to the University of Alabama. The two-time Indiana state champion has cleared 17-0

That's interesting with Champion Allison going to Alabama. Alabama really spending alot on recruiting, having the former Aggie assistant coach (Dan Walters) as head coach and the former South Plans College coach

Shamon Ethiemua may be heading to FSU. Let's wait and see if this happens. Signing day starts tomorrow.

We are getting an outdoor track soon, we have one of the best indoor tracks in the world, we have done pretty well over the last 10 years, we have some of the best coaches
If we cannot attract the best male track athletes in Texas, then we are doing something wrong. What are we doing wrong?
Anyway let wait and see tomorrow who sign and who goes elsewhere. We might have to rely on junior college transfers

tu picked a top sprinter in Micaiah Harris from Virginia who represented the US at World juniors last year

Tyra Gittens would be a great recruit if she signs with us.
She is the top returning high school heptathlon athlete
She can score easily in the heptathlon but she can also compete individually in the high jump (1.85m) and long jump (6.10m)

Plano hurdler Charles Brockman, 13.75, 36.11 (3rd in nation), 51.11 has signed with Mississippi State. Really thought we had a good shot at him. His "future" hurdle coach, Steve Silvey (great success at Blinn the early '90's when they had a program) briefly coached at A&M in the middle '80's. Sorry to see us lose this kid.
aggiepe

I tell you something has to be wrong. Is as if these top Texas athletes sending a loud message to A&M. Mississippi State over A&M. Texas Tech over A&M etc
I guess we have to find athletes from other states and try and win the championship next year and send back a message to these athletes.
Look at the improvement of some of the of our most recent athletes Shamier Little, Donavan Brazier, Kamaria Brown Olivia Ekpone, Wayne Davis and so many more at A&M. The record speaks for itself.
It must be something that we don't know about.
tu coach is on indefinite leave and still they are recruiting top athletes over us.
Several days of signing still to go again. Let wait and see

Top distance recruit Sam Worley has committed to Texas

I agree it is troubling to see some of our targets heading elsewhere, but we don't know the scholarship money we offered, the coach's rankings, an athlete's best event versus our training groups, etc. We just have to find the best kids for the team no matter where they are from.

Anyway, a couple more kids to add:
Rachel Bernardo (A&M Cons) - distance
Kylie Purifoy (Crandall) - distance
Theo Goff (Oak Ridge) - distance

I hope we recruited Virginia Kerley sister of Fred and Mylik Kerley.
She is a very descent sprint and jump athlete.
I hope she signs with us

Not a good first day of signing for the Aggies.
I hope today is much better
Texas Tech will have one of the best recruit classes.
