Not saying this loss is a nothing burger but we still have the #1 ranked class and have 2 linebackers rated higher than this guy in that group.

People act like Jimbo-era recruits are the same as Elko's. He obviously missed on QB this year but a lot of his 2026 guys are already getting good results. We know how the "#1" Jimbo class turned out, but they're not the same. Just an average QB and we maybe lost to LSU. Fight me.

Everytime we get a new coach, people rag on the old coach and tell us how the new guy REALLY knows what he's doing.

Then he sucks and we get a new coach, and all of a sudden, the guy who really knew what he was doing really didn't, but the new guy does.

Rinse and repeat every 4 or 5 years

I really only liked the Jimbo and Elko hires off this list

This LB was one of our lower ranked recruits, not saying he wont be a stud. Really hope we keep the top couple of OLine recruits and Henderson. I think Henderson would get immediate playing time

I was furious when we hired Jimbo, was generally ridiculed by all the smart guys that ended up looking like dumb asses. I thought Sherman had a chance was wrong, wanted Summy to be good but he tripped over his arrogance and failed miserably. Fran was a moron… god rest his soul.

A&M has recruited well for years now.
We just never develop them once they get here.
Recruiting is not the issue, coaching is.

Have we? Because I'd argue that our talent evaluation (which is a huge part of recruiting) for the most part has been absolute sh**.

Talent evaluation is also on the coaches
