He seems like he's the prize out of our state this year.

I know he was a long shot a month ago, but has our top 10 momentum on the field allowed our staff to get in his ear or are there more fundamental reasons why he doesn't view himself as a fit for a&m?

Websites say he plans to visit A&M.

Good deal, at this point in the recruiting cycle that's all you can hope for.

Actually, I WOULD hope he commits to us tomorrow and sticks with us to the pt. of signing his LOI.

Everyone was on the tu bandwagon early but have to wonder.

tu's defense has been bad the entire chobbit era. The bottom line is a big portion of the Texas blue chip population want to go to tu. In most instances I would guess it is either because momma said do or they want to hit 6th street 5 nights a week. For those kids, there's simply nothing that can be done. I'm not saying Wilson is in this bucket, just that I've stopped scratching my head as to why recruits go there year after year. In some cases, it helps us because it weeds out some of the guys who lack football character and just want yo leverage their athletic assets to party. How many 4 and 5* have they gotten the last 4 or 5 years, specifically on defense, just to wind up getting 50 dropped on them by baylor, purple baylor or red rash baylor?

Playing for Chavis and lining up against Bama and SEC West is where Marvin belongs.....the Big Stage.

A) The other glaring issue is the fact that t.u. was competing for national titles during the early part of some of these recruits formative years while we were still basically a laughing stock. That goes a long ways despite the fact the tables have turned. Thankfully it's diminishing and the effect will be 100% gone in a couple years.

B) Look, I'm glad I was in College Station rather than Austin, but there is more to t.u. being a cultural fit than simply wanting to get drunk on 6th street. For a kid who grew up in the urban part of large a city like Dallas or Houston, a small town like College Station can be a huge culture shock and they might feel a lot more comfortable in Austin.

If mothers tell their sons to go to tu it's because the envelope full of non sequential currency already showed up or McCombs gave them a car. Kids now want to play for winners.

I think kids just want to go to a play with a hotshot coach and school which will help them get into the NFL.

We did quite well during the JFF years.

#'s is reporting that all the people around him want him in Austin. He'll be a horn.

Absolutely

If we're winning Heismans and in the top 10 the rest of this stuff is just splitting hairs. Hell, Nebraska convinced many kids from California and the South East to come to the great plains during their 90's run. To that end, if we finish where we're ranked now or better then all of this other stuff on this thread won't matter.

However, if we end up as a solid top 25 team yet not a top 10 team this year then several of the better 4 star + kids will end up being a coin flip between us and t.u.

After watching our D repeatedly stonewall Arky, if I were a young player, I would give my left testicle to play for Chief.

Sounds like the worm might be slowly turning here. Liking our chances a little better?
