Assuming this is true, the visitor list just got even better.
Let's show these guys a great atmosphere this weekend.

Edit: sorry, it doesn't show the caption. According to the post, this could be an OV for Evans.

Edit 2: It's now being reported that Evans is heading to Baton Rouge on Saturday. That being said, I still like our chances unless he decides to shut it down this weekend.

I would feel better about this if Alabama wasn't also high on his list, but it can't hurt to get him on campus again.

o line recruits 2020. 1 4 star ; 3 3 stars. no tackles.

What's probably the weakest area on offense?

We need to get him some more beef to block for him.

If we are loud and play a good game, I wouldn't hate our chances to land him given how hard Demas has been recruiting dudes.

need to replace all of the O line staff! and I agree with chocolate chip. probably coming down to see his future team. I'm bitter.

Not trolling at all. Serious question: If a big time recruit (like Evans) is attending this weekend, and they have offers from A&M and Alabama, why would they choose A&M?

Is our only selling point that they can play early here rather than possibly sitting behind 1 or 2 other 5 stars at Bama? Does is simply come down to A) guaranteed playing time, versus B) (nearly) guaranteed national championship?

Aggies have no speed (uninjured) in the backfield. If Evans wants to play early what better opportunity would he have?

There is more to school than just national championships. Not every player is just worried about trophies.

A&M destroys Bama in a million ways. Our traditions, atmosphere, student population, academics, fanbase, alumni network, etc etc.

It's also worth mentioning that Evans has a great relationship with Jimbo and Demas.

Sounds like a huge weekend for reqruits. Would be nice to see a complete list. I think Morris, a top 100 OL from Tennessee is coming in. Maybe he can get in Evans ear. Would be nice to have both.

Jimbo has said (paraphrased here) "do you want to build something special? Be a part of building it where it has not been before.... or do you want to join something that has it already built?"

I think the kids these days want to win- but they also want to play early (especially RBs) and they want to go somewhere that feels like home.

You are deluding yourself. Almost 100% of these kids have a goal of making it to the NFL. They want to WIN. The vast majority aren't coming a program based on the quality of the engineering school.

That's why Alabama and Georgia and LSU keep stacking them up every year.

These kids have offers from Stanford and Vandy and Virginia and all the Ivys, too. They can play there from day one. There's a reason they don't choose to.

Right... so let's just ignore the fact that A&M is top 10 in NFL representation.

And lets also ignore that Bama has exactly twice as many in the NFL right now. Pitch playing time, its what we have

You don't know how to have a linear debate, do you?

Any idea what playing time can equate to smart guy

Why do so many people feel the need to spread their self loathing BS in the name of "keeping it real?"

Lets take a quick glance at those "million" ways we "destroy" Bama.

Our great "tradition" of male cheerleaders, fish ponds, and fires v tradition of winning - Adv - Bama
Atmosphere - Adv Bama - have you been to a game there?
Student pop - why would a football player care about this? There are plenty of hot girls at Bama too
academics - we are better but does a 3 year and go pro guy really care? He is gonna major in PE at either
school
fan base - you are deluded if you think our fanbase is anywhere near Bamas
alumni net - ours is way overrated and theirs is no slouch. Doesn't really matter in the NFL though


How about some others

College Station v Tuscaloosa - both suck - there is a reason people want to go to Austin
path to the pros - duh
quality of coaching - duh

I went to A&M, liked A&M, and promote A&M but our chance to get him is through playing time and maybe his friends.

THATS LIKE YOUR OPINION MAN

There has been some chatter that Evans is actually a pretty high IQ guy and does well academically. I don't know this as a fact, but its been mentioned in other places. So I would think academics would be a consideration for him and if it is, Texas A&M blows Alabama out of the water on that.

Also, we are much much closer to his home.

Not to mention, early and often playing time.

Just to name a few things that could sway him in our direction.

Honestly we don't even need a win to impress these recruits. We need a game that we keep fairly close, and one where the crowd stays until the end, and where there is some electricity. Last year's Clemson loss is a prime example of that kinda game. And it got us Demas.

Baton Rouge is a town right?

Love to see this kid smile.

An early commit from him plus the top qb and wr in state might entice some OL to jump on board?

he's going to LSU-UF not us-bama

Yup, they have been reporting that for a few days now but we will see

Yeah it's looking that way. I fixed the OP.

can we suit him up

Aggies have no speed (uninjured) in the backfield. If Evans wants to play early what better opportunity would he have?

Someone with a great oline maybe?

Will we rush for more than 50 yards?

You would think Jimbo would get 4 or 5 additional star offensive-linemen committed to help get Evans, but is terrible at consistently recruiting offense linemen here. He's got one stud in 2 classes. It's like he has amnesia about what happened on the field at Florida State.

Someone tell Jimbo O-Line and D-Line are the 2 most important positions. He apparently forgot at the end at FSU and he's failing on that front here. I'll admit he was money on Leal and Bobby Brown. But we've lost all local talent in the front-7 in the 2020 class.

Ellison will be here next year and a commitment should occur this weekend that will satisfy you

This.

Almost a guarantee he'd become the starter and featured back at some point during his freshman year. To be a successful college RB these days, you must have crazy initial burst speed and also be able to make defenders miss, often times in your own backfield. You have to be able to create your own rushing yards as O - lines are now built for pass blocking first and not so much for run blocking. Trayvean rushed for 1760 yards last season and much of that was after he made a defender miss and then created 15 yards on his own. We do not have a RB on our current roster including Deshaun Corbin, who can do what I just described.

What are you suggesting? Should we stop recruiting kids with offers from Bama, GA and LSU?
