Elite 11 Notes and Thoughts, and The Opening preview
I'll just start by saying Elite 11 has not been very action packed, but here's a few thoughts.- Elite 11 wrapped up today. Haynes King was again very impressive. I had one seasoned observer tell me Haynes was without a doubt the top guy in attendance. This is a guy I trust and who has no Texas A&M, Tennessee, or Longview/Haynes King tint. Overall the reviews have been positive with his athleticism and decision making drawing the highest marks. https://twitter.com/jason_howell/status/1145355521505075202https://twitter.com/jason_howell/status/1145356616587468802https://twitter.com/jason_howell/status/1145357220198178816https://twitter.com/jason_howell/status/1145359756552544256https://twitter.com/jason_howell/status/1145370349426618374-LSU commit TJ Finley ripped one of the best balls I saw all the last two days during 7on7 drills. He put it on a line right over the shoulder of the defender and into the hands of his WR for a TD. I didn't see everything but liked what I saw from him the last two days. Big arm and he was pretty accurate.- Arkansas commit Chandler Morris struggled a little bit during 7on7. He threw two picks to start his 7on7 drill. He did bounce back nicely with a couple of TDsThe Opening Finals begin tomorrow and we will be out there in full force. The Aggies have four commitments who will be in action. WR Demond Demas, WR Troy Omeire, OL Akinola Ogunbiyi, and CB Jaylon Jones will be there.Key targets include RB Zach Evans, RB Sam Adams, DL Vernon Broughton, DL Princely Umanmielen, LB Noah Sewell, LB Kourt Williams II, and CB Ryan Watts. The Aggies are also in on TE Arik Gilbert and DT McKinnley Jackson.2021 OL Donovan Jackson and DT Maason Smith are two of the few 2021s expected to be on hand. The Aggies are very much involved with both.
