The more I think about Kyle's response the more pissed I get. What a sad, sad ambassador for the program his comments make him. I don't care what kind of player he was because there's absolutely no reason to be such an arrogant jackass. I'd like to see Rob defend his post.

Exactly why you shouldn't go some place to play ball that doesn't offer you if there are other offers on the table...kind of a red flag




You have NO Clue what you are talking about.

There were variables that RC took advantage of when recruiting McNair and there was information that RC should have laid out on the table with Jaxton and his family and he didnt.

Im an RC supporter and hope he finished out his coaching career here at A&M. But the way this was handled does not sit well with me.

Lol at his thread... Good luck to Jaxton in whatever he does.

What if Jaxton had played better baseball? I'm going to have to place the responsibility with him for getting cut. I feel like Jaxton had more to do with getting let go than the coaches; they just put performance into verbal language.

But it's ok to bash our coaching staff?

Our coaching staff are grown men who get paid a lot of money.
And you're comparing them to an 18-19 year old true freshman Walkon?
Come on man

I'll take Moore's word for what happened. He has the credibility, having experienced the program from the inside out. Jaxton got screwed.

I apologize for the comments I made in my previous post. I was not speaking on behalf of the players (former or current) or coaches. I spoke on my behalf and my frustration regarding the topic and shouldn't of said anything at all.

The support of the 12th man is the biggest reason I chose Texas A&M. As a former player I can truly say we have the greatest fans and atmosphere in the country.

I was apart of this program at a high ('04, '07, '11 Grad Assistant) and its very low ('05, '06). To be clear, yes, I am very appreciative for Coach Childress and what he did for my career. However that doesn't label me as a "Childress guy". I was recruited by Coach Johnson and his staff, and would not of ever had the opportunity to play at Texas A&M without them. For that I am grateful.

I apologize to the fans and supporters that I offended. That was not my intention.

Stand up guy Kyle. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the work you put in and like I said in a previous post, you've been one of my favorite former players and played an important part of the success of the program both on the field and on the staff.

Thanks and Gig'em

So that gives you the right to come after their integrity? Just because they're paid, grown men? Give me a break. It's pretty clear this thread was started to bad mouth RC's character when no one here knows 100% of what was said, first hand. And no one knows RC's side of it. I'm pretty sure all parties involved knew what kind of business that baseball and college athletics is. So to call out RC for this is simply unacceptable. Give him a phone call if you don't agree with how you think this was handled. Don't call him out from behind your keyboard. That's what Rivalries and other boards do.

From the little I've seen, I can't imagine Childress being anything other than like he was with Mooreag - which was very straight forward.

Seems like alot of programs try and take advantage of 1)being a lifelong Aggie/insert legacy school and 2)the tomorrow fund.
wanting to be here is favorable and being able to afford to pay for tuition is another plus. Sounds like MooreAgs friend was smart in planning, which alot of parents are not.

Sometimes people say things they do or do not mean,(RC)and sometimes the other party has to fulfill the terms and does not. I dont know RC at all but doubt he would intentionally cut someone that would help him win. It is a business. I do not know anyone personally. But I am a baseball guy 1st and foremost and I appreciate both MooreAgs, and Kyle contribution to this baseball program.

Guys I knew at A&M who talked to coaches about walking on to teams were told that there was an obligation to play scholarship guys first.

What is the difference between preferred walkons and ordinary walkons?

a PW does not have to go thru a walkon tryout.

they are enrolled as an "athlete" and on the team but given no scholarship $. They are not listed aS an official signee because they didnt actually sign an LOI. However they are treated like every other player from having access to the facilities in the summer, being housed with other players who are on schlarship ect ect.


the ordinary walkon is basically a student. they are not enrolled as an athlete and have no connection with the program untill after they go thru a walkon tryout and are given a spot on the team

of course once on the team, if you are scholarship,preffered walkon or walkon..nobody is "protected" , anybody can be cut prior to the season. Yes even scholarship players

Hope Jaxton just knocks the cover off the ball and tears up whatever division he's playing in. As an Aggie, I hope he lands back in Aggieland, but as long as he's doing well and getting what he wants and needs from a program, then BRAVO!!!!! Gigem Jaxton!!!
