Really wish we'd gotten Nic Anderson now.

So all the players NIL allowed to represent my College Football 25 team are no longer on our team?

What's the damn point then?!

All I wanted to do (the past decade) was play Texas A&M football, not Noah Thomas or anyone else football!

sheesh!

Meh, he was just ok

I have never seen a 6'6" receiver do less with height.
Could not jump up and go get it.
Never came down a 50/50 ball.
Could not get separation.

This. He needed to go.

It's why I barely care. It's so mercenary now. The days of Aggie heroes are long gone.

Yup. That 6'3" receiver for OSU sucks.

Damn. I really like him too.

This is exactly why people are throwing their hands up in disgust. The NCAA has ruined college football, heck everyone is a free agent every year.

Ok. This is strange

But he was probably going to be WR3 or 4 going into next year.

Sorry bud, there's not a really good way to sunshine pump this loss. Noah is a unit and a different maker. Big loss.

---

It sure would've been nice if he would've made some "differences" in, say, maybe 2 of the 5 embarrassing (largely avoidable) losses.

He may not have been all world, but he was better than any WR on our roster next year.

This program is a complete dumpster fire.

Neither sentence is in your little post are true.

From my observations, Barber was a more effective receiver than Thomas or anyone else.

Well to be fair, it helps to have an elite QB that can perform and complete passes.

Maybe Noah said eff this I'm going where I can get plays.

Lawyers, agents ( mostly lawyers) and Congress opened this sheet show! NCAA has no ballz!

Leaving to go to a team with a real QB and OC, can't blame him

Do ANY of you have a clue? Do you know what "NIL" stands for?

It is a business for Noah and all the kids with talents like him.

Does this mean he wants to leave A&M?

NO.

Kid wants market value for his likeness.

If this offends you? Stop watching college sports. The days of being committed to a school or fan base is LONG OVER.

And having a QB with a great deep ball and accuracy certainly helps. If I am Noah....I am not confident that Reed gets there.

Selfish world of NIL. Just like corporate America.

Veteran Aggie wide receiver enters portal following three big off-season additions. Was a threat to go prior but Elko and Co fought to keep him in the fold. https://t.co/cEOg3XovAX

Wasn't he like 6'6" tall? Cant recall. The tv announcers would never tell us.

Well, to be fair, it helps when he doesn't drop a perfect pass right in his hands to go up 14-0 and instead it ends up as an INT.....

Or maybe he's leaving to a team that they won't throw him a perfect pass in the EZ for him to drop for an INT instead of a 14-0 lead...... maybe that's it.

Maybe he was told to look elsewhere….

No. Nobody . . . knows . . . what . . . NIL stands for . . . only . . . you.

We're all upset . . . We're all offended . . . but . . . too . . . stupid . . . to not . . . watch

Thank . . . you . . . for . . . setting . . . us . . . straight

He wasn't

Yet another example of someone leaving that we "didn't want/wasn't any good/wasn't going to get much playing time" and the second string guy we signed Pecker Tech with 11 receptions for 106 yards was the guy we wanted all along.

Blinnaggie2002 said:

---

No big deal we have a huge haul coming in of players way better than him. Good riddance.

---

You think replacing 8 TDs is going to be easy?

Kevin Concepcion, the receiver we just got from the portal, has worse stats than Thomas.

Thomas was overrated and needed to be told to look elsewhere

This is exactly my thoughts as well, guys like Thomas are few and far between. This is a potential big loss but we have some on here acting like we have multiple Randy Moss's on board at WR for next year

What offends me is him dropping a near perfect pass against USC that would have sealed the victory.

This doesn't bother me at all. He averaged 3 catches a game for 44 yards. That is easily replaceable.

---

is that not elite for a Klein offense?

I actually thought I saw where the Sips leading-WR averaged like 55 yards per game.

---

Why do we have to compare him to a tu receiver? Aren't there over 100 other schools that play D-1 football? The ******* sip obsession never ends.

---

Well, they were on TV that second which is where the stat came from, and they're known as a high-powered passing offense. That's why they were mentioned, which triggered you.

Some if these guys want to be sip. They breath, sleep and think sip at all times. Hell most of them were arguing with me just yesterday that Manning was the next coming of Christ.

---

I have doubts any of that is true for any Aggies, but I'd bet you are the type who everyone everywhere mocks.

It's a loss but not the end of the world.

But can he drop wide open, easy TD passes, that hit him right in the hands on crucial game winning plays?

I remember some folks were saying the same thing last year when Stewart transferred. And the same people were complaining about our receivers sucking during the season.
