2022 in Houston...

So, by now, I'm sure all of you that follow recruiting have heard us talk about the importance of recruiting greater Houston in the class of 2022. I won't go into that again, but I did want to comment on all the recent back and forth on social media about A&M from some of the city's top talent. I'll do this bullet/number style to try and keep it succinct. 1) Neither Billy or myself have been informed of some big "commitment day" type of plan here. Now, you can never rule anything out in recruiting, but as of now, none of our sources have indicated that type of stage being set up. 2) All the attention A&M has been getting (and subsequent tweets) is, without a doubt, a clear indicator of where the momentum currently stands in that class. The Aggie coaching and recruiting staff have done a tremendous job of that early on. 3) Capitalizing on the momentum is one thing. Pushing kids to commit before they're ready is another. We've seen the latter come back to bite programs in the region. This has not been a tactic employed by Jimbo Fisher to this point, and I don't think they'll start implementing it now.4) I do believe A&M will kick start their 2022 class with someone from greater Houston. 5) There's legitimate long time friendships and bonds amongst some of the top players in the area. I typically don't lend too much credence to the idea of "package deals" in recruiting due to so much fluidity and changing landscapes throughout a cycle. However, I do think there's some legitimacy to it within the context of the 2022's. 6) In case you needed a refresher, here's a list of guys in Houston that feels like they're being prioritized by the Aggies early on...Katy DE Malick Sylla Atascocita OL Kameron Dewberry CyPark LB Harold Perkins Summer Creek OL Kelvin Banks Dickinson TE Donovan Green Dickinson OL PJ Williams Katy CB Bobby Taylor Ft Bend Marshall WR Chris Marshall ...and I'll even include Beaumont West Brook S Bryce Anderson even though, personally, I think the Golden Triangle is kind of its own deal. 7) The other programs in the area aren't just going to let all those top flight kids come to A&M. You can expect Texas and the new car smell under Sarkisian as well as Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson to all be involved with that aforementioned group in some capacity. 8) One thing that could slow the entire class in terms of timeline is if the NCAA announces a "re-open day", for lack of a better term. If visits are put back into the recruiting calendar, a lot of top prospects may choose to get out and go see a few places before making a decision since they have been stripped of such opportunities for the last 10 months or so. 9) After saying all that, I think you'd much rather be looking at that Houston class from the perch A&M is on than any other recruiting rival in the region. We'll see what all this January momentum turns in to, but as of now, the Aggies look the most poised to do serious business in the state's biggest city.

TexAgs National Average Rating

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

TexAgs Rating

The TexAgs Recruiting team of Billy Liucci, David Sandhop, Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and a host of recruiting interns attends more than 75 games each fall and observes and evaluates every major Texas A&M target, as well as most of the top 150 prospects in the State of Texas. From this evaluation the team draws a rating for each prospect on a scale between 70 and 100.

99-100: Elite national prospect (Five-star)

Considered one of the best prospects in the nation and a likely difference-maker at the collegiate level. Displays all of the physical skills to be a future All-American with potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.

90-98: Elite state prospect (Four-star)

Considered one of the best 30-40 prospects in the state and a top 250 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to be a major early contributor at the collegiate level with high professional potential.

80-89: Quality prospect (Three-star)

Considered one of the best 100 prospects in the state and a top 500 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to develop into a contributor over the course of his college career. Has the ability to become a professional prospect over time with development.

70-79: Solid prospect (Two-star)

Considered one of the top 250 prospects in the state. Has the physical skills to be a potential contributor at a D-1 program over the course of his collegiate career with significant development. Professional potential is low.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
