i'm surprised. had thought injuries had impacted him to the point of looking at a lower tier program.

I think their backup at the bowl game was unstoppable, so if he gets beat out by Green, A&M has a serious development problem. Good luck kid!

If he's finally healthy, this one doesn't make sense. And he must be, because I doubt a program like LSU would be interested otherwise.

And here we are needing a pass catching tight end...

---

We need an OC that will emphasize Thor getting more looks

Hope he gets a nice healthy raise $$

Yeah, I was assuming he'd be back and very productive.
Wonder if there's locker room stuff, or depth chart stuff.
Maybe even NIL stuff. Anybody got intel?

We're busy signing former walk-ons from Nebraska & Auburn

They have 10 catches between the 2 of em over the past 4 years

We're really good at finding, utilizing, & developing talent

He'll be an all american and in the playoffs next year!

This is the big problem.

Development programs and the NIL program do no necessarily work hand in hand.

It's not gonna be the same.

Pros know they must develop. Not saying all kids will have the correct thought…

I was surprised that tight end Donovan Green transferred to LSU because I thought injuries had impacted him and prevented him from reaching his potential here.

And that's exactly what he did

---

lol. I promise you're the only one who believes that and I doubt you really believe that.

No, we're just morons up to the tippy top. At least Sharp is leaving. That's a start. Good luck to Donovan.

Interested in knowing the details. At face value doesn't seem good for us.

What are your thoughts on quarterback Marcel Reed?

I'm a big supporter of Green and even tweeted him my appreciation, but what a d***chebag move. That fckn dork.

Donovan hasn't played in 2 yrs.. I sure enjoyed watching him in 22". I don't no if he was back up to speed this year or not, but the TE room is full, with the addition of 2 transfers, a promising freshman, new coaches. Grass just looks Green'er on the other side. Arkansas had a RB, also Green, leave through the portal 2 yrs ago, however he's returning as a walk-on lol. We'll see him next fall.

Perhaps a younger Jaden Daniels.. Fingers crossed his passing skills continue to develop.
He has the tools to be a great dual threat, physical & mental. Eager to see how he develops.
Hopefully Reed getting so much experience this year, will pay off for the Aggies going fwd...

There is no guarantee. The medical staff doesn't have any clue how he's doing until he gets on campus and they can evaluate and update any imaging of injuries.

Exactly and with the Spring portal it is a very low risk for them. If he does have an injury issue.

that's the issue

the current WR's (or formerly current WR's) know Klein's offense is not going to throw for 3,000 yards and 25 TD's

it's going to be run-based

and maybe only 1 WR can put up big numbers in this system

---

It's a chicken before the egg problem that won't go away until Klein is gone. We can't recruit a pro quality qb because of kleins offense. We can't recruit a pro quality wr because of his offense and lack of pro quality qb. Thus we can never get either of those. Does anyone think we can beat a playoff team with a qb run styled offense? Think we can ever win a title?

Solution seems pretty obvious.

You guys can't be that naive.

You think a program like LSU is just taking a flyer on a guy that had the type of injury he had and has missed 2 years of football without having already covered their bases? You think they haven't spoken with Donovan's doctors and seen mri's/x rays?

"Yeah, come on over! Here's a scholarship, don't worry, we have plenty of them! Hopefully when you get here, our team doctor will ask his first questions and take a look at your medical history, take a few images, and if we're lucky, it'll all be ok! "

Who?

I'm telling you they don't know anything unless he told them himself. There is no mechanism for them to see medical records or do an evaluation before he gets on campus.

Yes. I think it is very possible. Just like it's possible it is us
