I cannot forecast to you the predictions of Rojo. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is the key.

How was he wrong on Chavis?
quote:
Jake Spavital, OC, Texas A&M One of the nation's youngest coordinators (30), Spavital's helped establish Texas A&M's Air Raid offense as the SEC's most potent during his tenure. He's learned route concepts and his tempo-driven offense from the likes of Dana Holgorsen (West Virginia), Gus Malzahn (Tulsa) and Kevin Sumlin. Most importantly, Spavital could also help the Gamecocks battle back in the East recruiting war against the likes of Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Spavital has signed five-star quarterbacks in consecutive classes (Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray) and has a commitment from another for 2016.

Re-read what post? He posted nights before it came out that Chavis was our DC.

Texas A&M, Auburn, and South Carolina have been in a bidding war with each other over the services of former Florida HC, Will Muschamp. The Aggies seemed to have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Muschamp, but to no avail. My sources have told me that A&M put Muschamp on a deadline and that deadline has passed. Which means they will move on to their #2...which brings us to Bud Foster.
Foster has been in talks with Texas A&M's AD and HC, Kevin Sumlin for sometime now; and in fact, I have it on good authority that Foster was the one who reached out to Sumlin first, and not the other way around. I can't 100% confirm the accuracy of this statement, but I feel as good about it as any preemptive information I've ever obtained, and that is:
It would appear, based on my sources, that Texas A&M and Bud Foster have reached a deal in principle.
Feel free to take this as you will, but I'm not trying to pump smoke or troll the board. Just thought I'd give the heads up for discussion.
quote:He most likely didn't, people are just embellishing
Wait where and when did he get banned?
quote:I don't have the exact quote available to me but Rojo was calling Foster in early December before Dec 9.
Rojo regurgitates information that is posted elsewhere. His post regarding Foster was 10 days after a user by the name of Young Fitz posted on a Hokie site:

Bottom line: He throws **** on walls and takes credit for what sticks (chavis). That's it. It's all in good fun but I feel bad for some people that take his schtick seriously.

Here is the timeline for the DC search:
Dec 19, 2014: AggieRojo states,quote:
Quote:"Bud Foster. That's all folks. No need for throwing more names out there."
Dec 21, 2014: A single report surfaces that A&M had reached out to Chavis. Nothing more comes of this other than speculation on this single report.
Dec 27, 2014: AggieRojo states,quote:

Dec 30, 2014: Serious pursuit of Chavis by A&M surfaces the next day.
Dec 31, 2014: This is followed on New Year's Eve by reports that it is a done deal.
Mar 18, 2015: Bud Foster admits that he was very close to going to A&M and that even his wife was in.
quote:Yeah, it seems that the five commits he was calling around signing day was a legit thing where 2 (or was it 3 of them?) backed out literally at the last minute. I remember seeing that TexAgs staff and A&M staff felt all of those five were coming as well and were totally thrown for a loop.
That another thing I don't get.
"He was caught blowing smoke about recruiting."
Was he really blowing smoke even if our staff felt as though we were getting the guys we missed on?
quote:Haha, not offended at all. In fact, your post supports Rojo more than it discredits him. That's the funny part. I haven't bought into the Spurrier deal even. I just find it ridiculous that the people on here put so much effort into trying to discredit Rojo based on their opinion, and their opinion only. As far as I can tell, there has been no proof that Rojo didn't have inside information on the DC hire. I mean, the timeline is the timeline. Would he have had to have called it 12 months before it happened to be given credit? Chavis signed when he signed. At this point, the ONLY facts that have been posted point to Rojo having the inside scoop on that being a done deal. People here seem to have conjured it up in their heads that someone else said it first. Again, not sure how, without proof, throwing a fit on the internet and *****ing about Rojo not having inside info is any different than an MFBarnes post. Until they can provide proof that he wasn't the first, those people are just making **** up. Period. Seems clear cut to me.
You seem offended by what I wrote. I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention.
For the sake of argument, lets give Rojo credit for Chavis. He alone was the first to obtain this knowledge from the highest of A&M's inner circles and spread the good news. Lets go ahead and grant him that....
He was still caught blowing smoke about recruiting.
If nothing else, that alone means he isn't above self-aggrandizing his own importance or status. If you still want to chisel Spurrier in stone on nothing but Rojo's post, go ahead.
