Update on OOS DT
I spoke at length to Tennessee DT Ben Hutch today. There has been a lot of talk around Ben possibly jumping on board with the Aggies here pretty soon. I asked him about that and other aspects surrounding his recruiting. Here's what he had to say.On the message from the A&M staff.."The A&M coaches have told me that I'm a must get player for them. They really want me to be an Aggie."How would you rate the facilities based on the all the other places you've been?"When I went on my visit down there, those facilities were the best I have seen on any visit."What coaches have you been talking to from A&M?"I've been talking to Coach (David) Turner and Coach Chavis every day."Who else is recruiting you really hard at the moment?"Right now, other than A&M, I've been hearing the most from Memphis, Louisville, and Nebraska."On his relationship with A&M signees and targets in the Nashville area.."I talk to Ikenna Okeke every other day. I also talk to Tyrel Dodson the same way. Those guys and Jacob Phillips are my boys. Ikenna and Tyrel told me they want to get a trend started called Nashville to College Station."What'd you enjoy most on your trip to A&M last month?"My favorite part of my visit down there was my private talks with each coach. The facilities and campus are beautiful, and I also really liked the jersey...they felt amazing on me."On a possible upcoming decision..."My mom wants me to wait to make my commitment on Signing Day."When will you be back down to A&M for a visit?"I'll be down to College Station to visit again sometime again in the next month. I'm not sure on the exact date yet."

The Pipeline: Will Texas A&M's foray into Tennessee continue?
Among Texas A&M's more heralded defensive signees are Tyrel Dodson and Ikenna Okeke, native Tennesseans recruited by John Chavis. As Division I talent in the state picks up and the cycle starts again, the Aggies could remain real players on the scene.

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)

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.”
