Ronald Williams

The Aggies are headed for a top-10 finish in recruiting rankings yet again, and Billy Liucci dives into another elite class as Jimbo Fisher and his staff begin to stockpile the kind of talent A&M needs to climb the SEC and national pecking orders.

Things seem to be picking up on the Major Burns front. I was told by a Baton Rouge source this one is pretty much down to Georgia and Texas A&M with both planning to visit. The Aggies are expected to stop by today with Coach Elko, coach Linguist, and coach Peveto all on their way to Louisiana. There is not a lot of time with Burns expected to be an early enrollee (graduate in December and enroll in January) and the pre-signing day quiet period set to begin on Sunday. He has yet to take an official visit to either program this fall and it will be interesting to see if he takes one on his final weekend.As for Dontae Manning and Ronald Williams, it looks like things are indeed trending away from the Aggies. Alabama has made a move for Williams after the in-home visit with Saban, and we are hearing Georgia and Oregon are making a move for Manning. This morning I checked around with a few sources about Texas A&M commit Donell Harris, and the feeling is the Miami defender will make his official visit this weekend. As Brauny and I stated yesterday on the radio and in the podcast that would be good indicator for the Aggies. Brauny and I have both spoken to different Florida sources who feel the Gators have seen an increase in momentum since his official visit and Mullen's in-home visit yesterday, but A&M having that final official visit has kept the Gators from feeling overly confident. The Aggies are also fighting the Gators for Dallas Jesuit ATH EJ Smith, and sources tell me both head coaches (Jimbo Fisher and Dan Mullen) will be in-home tonight. EJ says he is most likely announcing his decision on Signing Day and it looks like the Gators, Aggies, and Stanford Cardinal are the programs to watch. Coach Shaw made his in-home with the Smiths last week. There was talk West Memphis (AR) OL Chris Morris could take an official visit to Miami this weekend, but he now plans to take an OV to Ole Miss. The Texas A&M coaching staff has been in communication with Morris so everyone knows the plans and is on the same page. I am told by sources in Memphis that Morris remains strong in his commitment to the Aggies.

-Coach Henson and coach Dickey are in the Memphis-area today to meet with OL commit Chris Morris. Like I mentioned last week, I do expect him to take an official visit to Miami this week, but I am told he is locked in with the Aggies. Jimbo Fisher was in-home last week. -The Aggies did not make an in-home visit with Jesuit RB EJ Smith last week as he prepared for a playoff match-up with Spring Westfield, but I am told the Aggies will make an in-home later this week and Jimbo Fisher is expected to be in attendance. -Wide Receiver coach Dameyune Craig stopped through Royce City recently. Royce City is home to 2021 standout receiver Ketron Jackson. Jackson transferred from Lancaster to Royce City this fall, and he was the Bulldogs leading receiver with 841 yards and 9 TDs on 59 receptions. -Texas A&M JC CB targets Ronald Williams (Hutchinson CC) and Brian George (Highland CC) received JC All-American honors today. Williams received first team honors while George received second team honors. Williams recorded 26 tackles, 3 INTs, 9 PBUs, and George recorded 26 tackles, 1 FR, 6 PBUs, 95-yard kickoff return. Both were named first-team All-Jayhawk Conference.
