Tuesday morning recruiting notes
Just wanted to offload some intel and observations I picked up over the weekend...- The Aggie recruiting staff deserves a hat tip for handling the sheer mass of recruits and families in town this past weekend. The amount of logistical work that requires is hard to comprehend, and there were very few, if any, complaints. I do wonder if they'll undertake such a venture again this season in terms of volume. Obviously, they want as many top targets and evaluation prospects to experience Kyle Field on game day, but that was a monster. - Perhaps the most notable visitor in the class of 2027 was Miami (FL) Carol City ATH Za'Kari Johnson. His commitment to Florida State could (and should) be viewed as flimsy. Howell had an update from his sources over the weekend, and I was told that the Aggies are in a great spot to get this one over the line if/when they want to press the gas pedal. The 6-1, 200 pounder has split opinions on whether his future is at receiver or defensive back. It's likely that he'd start on the defensive side in College Station should the Aggies ultimately make their definitive push. - I watched a barn-burner on Friday night as Cy Ranch upset CE King, 31-28, on a last second field goal. The list of players in that game that held college scholarship offers was remarkable. Here are some quick-hitting evaluations on a few guys in that game...2028 ATH Dillon Mitchell - Very few chances to show off his world class speed. CE King wasn't finding much success through the air and made their comeback via the running game. Mitchell did have a few tough catches on slants, but there wasn't much room to maneuver after the catch. He was in Austin on Saturday, but his brother also plays for Texas State. Texas A&M remains a key player, but Oregon and Ohio State are a real threat. 2028 EDGE Cameron Sydnor - A little tougher eval because his frame has a lot more maturing to do. There's plenty to dream on there, but I think this is a kid a lot of schools will put a pin in and revisit later. It just looks like his strength is still trying to catch up to his growth. He visited Texas A&M on Saturday. 2028 OL R'Monie Edwards - I didn't love his outing on Friday. I thought he was off-balance too much, played high, and needed a bit more punch overall. I should say that he wasn't routinely getting beat or having a difficult time executing his assignment. I just want to see him play with a bit more urgency. The tools are there. There are going to be a lot of eyes on his tape this fall. He's got plans to visit A&M in October.QB Braden Baker - Showed a great combination of talent, development, and toughness. His previous accuracy and timing issues have dissipated, and he's mode noticeable jumps in his confidence and presence. UH getting rewarded for their push to land his commitment last April.WR Manny Leyja - Probably the most underrated player in Houston. He had a monster junior season that went relatively unnoticed for some reason, and he's off to another fast start as a senior. We'll see if UNT can hold on to his commitment because I have a feeling there will be some sharks circling if the production continues.

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.”
