I was confident and I admit that I shouldn't have gone quite that far. I still think that they are the best team in the SEC and should've won it. Saban and his players have been very disappointing this year.

I was wrong on one prediction. We all do that sometimes. Not even the ESPN guys who get paid millions a year get it all correct. That's no reason to discredit other things that I say. I still think that Georgia thumps Aurburn and then Alabama makes it to the playoffs, but we'll see.

---

Fair enough. And I think you are wrong to get so involved and worried over this 1 recruit.

The guy may still commit to A&M and/or might end up being a bust. Why worry so much over this 1 recruit?

---

That's definitely a fair point. I'm worried because he was our highest rated commit and decommitted when we hired Jimbo. I don't want any guys to follow him, and I don't want to have to replace him with a player who isn't as good. There's definitely still an ok chance that we get him though.

---

I thought Max Wright was our highest rated guy?

As for Bama, they didn't seem as dominant and complete to me as they have been in the past. But to be honest, I don't think there is a clear dominant team this year. The championship is up for grabs, IMO.

Guy is a clown... kneeling and always trying to be center of attention...

Maybe he thinks this guy - Israel Mukuamu - is coming with Jimbo since he decommitted from FSU a couple of days ago (11/29).

---

I don't really want that guy though. We shouldn't be trading elite recruits for average three stars. We need to do better than that if we want to be elite.

---

Maybe you're right; then again, fellow 3-Stars JFF and Ryan Swope said, "Hello!"

There's a team psychology in play when you go for elite recruits.

Former basketball legend Dean Smith/UNC was asked why he didn't win in the Elite 8 with all the elite talent on his team. After a long pause, he said I have to go and recruit some players that can't play basketball. .... In short, if there are only, or very large majority, elites on the team and no teammates (3 Stars) that have to work overly hard in practice just to play - the elites will not develop to their fullest potential, per Smith. I'm not a Psychologist and this reasoning by Smith makes sense (can't argue his on the court success).

HSFootallAg24, you may agree or disagree with the psychology, and Alabama may have experienced the same situation this year as Smiths NCAA Elite 8 Team of 86-87 loaded with McDonald's All-Americans and two "Mr. Basketball" players from their respective states, 32-4 Overall & 14-0 Conf.

Yet, A&M had numerous 3-Stars over the years that turned out to be awesome - one was the GOAT.

For me, I'll leave the eye for talent to Jimbo & company.

I do. I want Leon O'Neal

If Leon does not want to play for Jimbo Fisher, that is his prerogative. Kind of a head scratcher, though.

Good player. But A&M can't sweat it. Keep moving forward.

Auburn looked good early, but Georgia won in a blowout like I thought.

HSFootballAg24 said:

---

Per his Twitter:

He's rated as the 83rd best player and 7th best safety per composite in the class of 2018. This is a huge loss as he was our highest rated commit and a damn good safety.

---

Why aren't we going after the #1 rated safety?

4 pages over a safety.

He comes or he doesn't. Jimbo will be here

He'll find another kid who wants to go the one of the top universities in the world.

Leave this kid alone. It's not worth 4 pages of effort imo

He is open to possibility to coming back. Be patient

Jimbo puts heavy emphasis on defense.
That said, we could very well end up with something BETTER than Leon before signing day gets here.

Worry, I shall not.

Thankfully, we don't need to care who you want. I am going to say it again. I will be happy with whomever Jimbo recruits. And I am pretty sure that Jimbo doesn't care who you want either.

HTH.

---

I don't care what Jimbo wants. He's an idiot if he'd take the Bossier safety over Leon O'Neal (unless it's a package deal to get Terrace Marshall as well). Jimbo isn't infallible and it's amazing how much blind faith some of y'all are already putting into him.

HTH.

---

Blind faith? Guy averaged 10 wins a year and won a National Title. Thats not "blind faith", son.

And I certainly put more faith in his opinion about who would be a better player for his team than I do in your angsty opinion about some dude you obviously get a chubby over.

God, you're a mouthy kid.

"Leon is gone." Maybe not.

Yep. That was the last year I obsessed over recruiting. Twitter changed everything and now I honestly couldn't care less who we miss out on. Half that arrive never pan out anyway.

Get here and prove yourself on the field or wind up talking about the glory days of Cypress Springs football 40 years from now.

What you know Coach?

I hear he is going to sign in Feb. A&M is not out of it. And i just believe if Fisher wants him he will get him. I don't know his high school coach or anything. But I just believe holding off until Feb to sign is in A&Ms favor.

He says in his interview he just wants to see where he'll fit in (if he fits in). He'll be back if fisher wants him.

Good, smart kid. Interview was hour ago or so.

Good stuff CoachLB & FishingAggie

I trust the ratings services and the 33 coaching staffs that offered Leon O'Neal more than I trust Jimbo. He's probably right on most things, but O'Neal is better than the safety from Bossier City.

You used to be cool. Did our latest season cause your BAS to flare?

There are many people who agree with me. Look at the offers and the rankings. Jimbo Fisher is a damn good coach, but he certainly isn't infallible.

I don't have a dog in this fight but. You recruit players who fit the schemes you play. If Fisher wants Leon great. If not great. It has nothing to do with the kid being a great player or not. Maybe Fisher had different needs at Florida St than he has here at A&M. If he recruits Leon now great. If he does not it does not mean the kid is not a great player.

It's really just your argumentative and know-it-all posting that rubs people the wrong way. For a 15 year old kid to call a national championship winning head coach, who has been coaching football and evaluating talent longer than you've even been on this earth, "an idiot" just reeks of teenage superiority. And then you double down and accuse people of blind faith because they trust Jimbo's judgement of the situation. You don't win friends that way.

You're a smart and passionate kid. But whatever good points you bring up are quickly forgotten because you think you know better than everyone else. Experience is a hell of a teacher; some of us (like Jimbo) have a lot of it. Maybe be willing to be wrong and not so definitive (like guarantees).

And one more thing: Life isn't a debate tournament. You can have all the right answers, and still be all wrong for the job.

Yeah. Thanks for reminding me btw about my preseason prediction. I had honestly forgot about that. Hopefully, I won't be that confident in the future.

I don't understand the need for all of the snarky remarks and ad hominem attacks. I'm quite tired of your condescending and arrogant tone.

I haven't whined once on this thread, although you certainly have. You are so triggered over the fact that I'd disagree with Lord and Savior Jimbo. I never claimed that you think he's infallible, but you're certainly acting that way. It's not good that you refuse to listen to what others have to say. There are many qualified people who prefer Leon.

O'Neal is ranked much higher, and his statistics/measurables are almost all better. Also, the other three National Championship coaches (Dabo Swinney, Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban) all offered Leon. It's pretty clear that he's good enough for the best. I trust Saban, Swinney, and Meyer over Jimbo.

You are ignoring the facts at this point if you'd rather have the Bossier safety. I've also watched film myself and know that Leon is clearly better.
