They just got a commit from a highly touted 4* RB. Is that a sign we are in better shape with Evans?
Yes. Maybe.MaxPower said:

The sips, LSU, or Bama are getting Evans. The ship has sailed.

Whoever gets him will have the best RB recruit since AP. Zach is the truth. Jimbo needs to bet the farm on this kid.

I'd love to have Evans and he may be the best prospect since AP. But the days of riding an RB to a national championship are over. We can win an NC with backs like Spiller and Corbin. We need to bet the farm on top OL and DL.
Not that those are exclusive to landing Evans but I'd be far happier with the nations top OT or pass rusher than the top RB any year.

Yes. It certainly didn't help us win our bowl game this past season. Oh.....wait....

To deny that great running backs haven't had a hell of a lot to do with Alabama winning the NC's is ridiculous.

If that was true they might not bother to recruit high school All American running backs.

Try explaining that to a sip running back.GoodAg Paulie said:
A RB is only as good as the OL in front of him.

Why did the ship sale on Evans?

Maybe they recruit high school all American running backs because they can?
Why is that ? Is the HC a ut alumni?4 said:
The coaching staff at North Shore for years has been rumored to actively steer their kids away from A&M.
History would indicate there is some truth to that.
The current coach is not, but his predecessor was a big time sip and was pretty common knowledge he steered kids away from A&M. Wished this would change with Jimbo but looks like the same old song and dance from North ShoreEAD 65 said:Why is that ? Is the HC a ut alumni?4 said:

Some kids don't want to be Aggies. That is totally fine. With Sumlin I would be worried. I am not worried at all.levypantsEOY said:
Most of those studs in state RBs are already leaning somewhere else. McClelland is an OU commit, McGowan has us in his top eight though most believe he goes out of state to another SEC school, and we havent even offered Ty Jordan from Mesquite.
I'm not saying that Zach Evans is the end-all-be-all of this class, but whoever gets him will straight up have won an enormous commitment from the number one or two player in the country. That's the kind of momentum builder for a class that can pay serious dividends. I've watched him play in person. He was college ready when he had just received his drivers license. Seriously.
Jimbo needs to go 100% all out to get him on campus this fall.
