Checked around with a some sources in the last 48 hours or so, and I've got a few pieces of intel, but for the most part, things are holding pretty firm on the recruiting front.- A&M has been hosting virtual visits all week. They sat down with a pair of key 2022 targets in LB Harold Perkins and ATH Brenen Thompson. We also got news today that they hosted big time 2021 DE target Shemar Turner tonight on a virtual visit.- The Aggies made the top 3 for Duncanville LB Kendrick Blackshire, but I still think Alabama holds the keys to that one. While the Aggies don't have to add another LB in this class, I do think Blackshire is a guy that would be among the "best available" category and would be taken with a smile by the Aggie coaching staff. That being said, it seems lime the best way for that to happen is if Blackshire puts off his commitment for a while. As things stand today, I think he's going to stick to a late July, early August decision. - Top 2022 DB target Bobby Taylor from Katy released his top 12 earlier this week, and the Aggies were a part of that. I suspect they'll be a part of all of Taylor's continued top schools lists throughout the cycle. I was told there were a few teams in that list of 12 that have basically little to no shot to land the highly touted defender. A&M is an outstanding spot early on along with Oklahoma and LSU. Georgia offered today so it'll be interesting to see if the Bulldogs can nudge their way into the mix. - Nothing new at last check in terms of imminent decisions. Looch put out a list of names to watch in his Tyreek Chappell update, and of that list, the names I've heard most frequently in terms of upcoming decisions have been Amari Daniels and Taleeq Robbins. I suspect Robbins will go down sometime in August, and while we think Daniels will be a summertime decision, we haven't been given solid enough intel to ballpark it better than that. - I was told the current group of A&M commits has been working hard on CyFair RB LJ Johnson Jr. I know guys like Matthew Wykoff and Fernando Garza have been adamant about getting LJ into the fold, and the intel I received yesterday only further backed that up. Though they may not do it much on social media, don't think for a second that these commits aren't going to work on A&M's top targets behind the scenes.
