The summary does not remotely capture the feel of what ESPN's Tom Hart and Gabe are saying about life under Jimbo. Couldn't find a way to link directly to the clip so go to the 11:19 mark to hear how much things have changed.

https://texags.com/s/27902/espns-tom-hart-discusses-amlsu-series-olsen-atmosphere-and-more

Summary:

- Jimbo was on fire in practice Wednesday
- He challenged the players to be either with him completely, or not
- Gabe has been to every practice under the previous staff and this one, and they are catching minute details now they never would have before
- This will translate to 1-2 wins in itself
- Tom says Jimbo is building a championship foundation, you can literally see it in progress
- Might not translate to 9 wins this year, but in the next 2-3 they will challenge for championships
- Some players are being challenged for the first time who were allowed to coast in the past
- May lose some players at the end of the Spring that will surprise fans, but it will be for the good of the program

Great to hear and read! I have been thinking that a transfer of 3-7 players after Spring Ball should be expected.

I've been waiting for the "transfer" shoe to drop ever since practice started. We'll see what our guys are made of. Hopefully they'll stay the course and be the foundation. But if not.........<Curly Bill meme>

He needs to take a chill pill and and let loose in practice.

What kind of show is he trying to run here?

More swag too

I'll believe it when I see it on the field. I hope Jimbo can pull it off, but I have doubts. BAS

I imagine 1-2 rb will transfer.

It'll be WR / DB

We have like 8 soph WR and a lot of DB

Attrition is necessary. Not just a casualty of a coaching change. We need some to get in a full 2019 class with Jimbos guys.

Doubtful. That's not the position to look at. We have only 3 on campus right now. they'll all be here this fall.

WR, OL, and DB. That's where the majority will come from. Probably 3-4 from each position over the next year and a half (fall camp 2019 when you need to clear room for the 2019 class)

Already weeded out one, Nick Harvey.

More pimp sticks and music at practice is what. No need for hard work when you can pimp slap your way into the end zone

Getting your ass kicked will cure both our record and BAS. I could use that myself, so I'll be glad to get in line first if nobody else does.

Hello Aggies...I haven't been around since football season.....hope everyone is well. I have always been glad when kids transfer....last thing you want around the team is someone who does not want to be there. If guys want to transfer I think it is excellent. Transfers gets the dead wood out and more importantly it opens up more spots for Jimbo's guys in the 2019 recruiting class.

Solid, thoughtful, logical reasoning. Might you have a newsletter to which I could subscribe?

Hearing all the right things so that's good. No reason to doubt Jimbo gets it done. But we also hear all the right things in the off-season.

So odd for a first-year coach to have all the right things said in the off-season. I never would have expected that. Next thing, we'll hear how tough the S&C program is under the new regime, and how surprised they were at the players being so soft. Yep, just totally unprecedented.

I want to be dominant on both lines of scrimmage first, then everything else will take care of itself.......I think Elko's aggressive Defense will push us over the top......DAMN BAS, full steam ahead, gents!!!!!

This the closet to Junction that coaches can do these days.

Koda Martin went to the hospital for a heat stroke. I heard he's okay now but he had a temperature of 106 at one point and kidney failure for a couple of days.

I hope this is correct and real change will be sudden and wonderful and we start winning 10 games a year ASAP. I am a bit snake-bit though. People said this about Fran and his night of champions. Charlie Strong was in his early days in Austin taking out the trash and setting a new hard-nosed tone.

Talk is cheap at this stage.

I rather beat the guy across from me than consume my internal organs, but to each his own.

I disagree. I wouldn't be shocked but I would be surprised if one RB didn't transfer. We have Trayveon, Bussey, Kibodi, and Etwi (don't forget about him) already here. FOUR new RBs coming in the summer, and five if Richardson, the transfer RB from UCF makes it in officially. Richardson and one of Corbin or potentially the other 3 freshmen could challenge for playing time right away. I could see Bussey as a transfer candidate considering he's flirted with it before last season.

Bussey is a RS JR. He makes the least amount of sense. A RS JR transferring is rare since he would have to sit out 2018 when instead, he could play here in 2018, then transfer anywhere as a grad transfer and play right away. Why waste a year altogether?

As for someone transferring when summer starts. It's really, really difficult to transfer after summer/fall start. The transfers you will see normally occur after spring ball. Well now, after spring ball, all 3 will see themselves up near the top of a depth chart that will use 3-4 RBs quite often. Etwi isn't on ship and isn't really on the level of the others. He isn't getting the same PT. I'm not going to count him and Richardson is currently participating in practice at Central Florida. I'm starting to doubt he comes. Even so, he will also not arrive until summer or fall camp and not be eligible until 2019, so he won't factor in to anyone's decision to transfer right now.

I do expect at least one to transfer AFTER the 2018 season, just not this offseason. Now doesn't make sense.

I will say in Busseys case, if he graduates early, that might change the whole equation. If he could transfer for free this year, then that becomes a possibility. But i haven't heard anything about it. All I know is that currently he sees himself as 2nd string on a team with only 3 TBs who will likely use 3-4 a game and maybe even up to 5-6 over the course of the year.

somebody doesn't know dick about football.

Fair enough, I forgot how many RBs Fisher & Graham like to use.

One position group I agree with you on that seems very likely to get transfers out of is the DB group. Lot of non-contributors so far, but we'll see how they look going forward. Guys that have jumped off the page in a good way: Donovan Wilson, Keldrick Carper, Derrick Tucker, Clifford Chattman, Charles Oliver, and Debione Renfro. Rest of the guys have done very little to nothing, plus you got big time guys in O'Neal and Moore coming in, so I can see 1 or 2 jumping after spring.

Sounds like addition by subtraction!!

He can just not come? What? I thought his transfer was official?
