I want kids that want to come here. Want to be Aggies. Want diplomas from A&M.
If Jackson wants to go somewhere else, good riddance.
I don't want kids that don't want to be here.
Buh bye Kyle. Buh bye Kyler.
Good luck to you.
I think a very small percentage of athletes want to be Aggies and want the A&M diploma. Just like every college student, they want to go somewhere which gives them the best chance to succeed at their life's goal.
For most of us, we knew an A&M diploma would generate great things professionally. And we wanted the Aggie experience.
If Mr. Jackson is obviously an elite high school player and has the potential to make millions some day. If he truly thinks another school is the place which best sets him up for success in the NFL, how can anyone disparage him? He's doing the same thing we did as high school seniors.
Like many of you, I don't see how in the world a defensive player would not want to play for coach Chavis. He's an outstanding man, leader, coach, mentor. And he's put countless people in the NFL. He is proven. And Mr. Jackson will be on national television nearly every week.
Absolutely I want him to be an Aggie. I have a friend who is a hs coach and seen him. Says the young man is beast -- tremendous size and talent.
If he signs with another school, I may not understand it. But, I'm not going to disparage the young man for making a choice he believes is in his best interest.
