Ralph4 = realistic Ag who can see thru the bullsh-- the Cool-aid drinkers throw out. I would say a 59-0 thrashing in a coaches second year throws up a major warning flag. I say a higher recruiting class in a coaches first year throws up a warning flag to the Ag's. I can not stand the SIP midget coach, but I see some very troubling signs out there in the AG's versus SIP's recruiting. And recruiting makes or breaks you for years to come and I see the rise of the SIP's once again coming.
Don't like bullsh-- huh? OK, lets go for facts.
#1. As has been stated many times by Rivals, ESPN, 247, etc., a new coaches first recruiting class is usually very good because of fresh excitement among recruits. Strong's class last year was terrible by tu standards. Far far worse than Mack Brown's first class.
#2. Our past three recruiting classes have the highest average ranking of any three consecutive recruiting classes in A&M history. How exactly do you spin that we have troubling signs? Getting our three best consecutive classes is a damn excellent achievement by Sumlin. This years class, at worst, will still be very good.
#3. We have far more committed recuits offered by tu, than tu has offered by us.
#4. I'll admit this is a little subjective although some recruits have admitted as much, many of the head to heads that are still out there, we got in the game a little late. Some recruits don't feel special when slow played.
Nah. tu thinned out their roster, had terrible recruiting last year, and have still not addressed the QB fiasco. Another year with no QB skills and the team will be lucky to break even again and Strong will be lucky to get a third year. Never mind that some of the major sip supporters don't like him. My "guess" is that Strong will be a short timer.
