The Last Leg: Where the Aggies stand approaching Signing Day
Rumors fly and heads spin while a crazy finish to the 2016 recruiting class draws near. A wide range of possibilities exist for Texas A&M, which continues to chase priority targets and try to hold on to another. How might the Aggies finish out?
News on Ian Thomas
I've been working to get in touch with the Nassau CC TE Ian Thomas for quite a bit today. I'm expecting to hear back from him shortly. In the meantime, I figured I'd put out what I knew. Thomas has been committed to Indiana for some time now. He's been described to me as a quiet kid that's pretty self aware. With him being committed to Indiana for so long and being an east coast kid, this whole deal with A&M has come at him fast. You'd think it could be as easy as, "A&M is his best offer. The Aggies will get him." And in the end, it may happen, but you have to think about a kid that's new to Texas A&M as a school and Texas as a culture. With all that being said, I was told late last night that a commitment from Thomas was possible today, but it seems Thomas left town without pulling the trigger and will talk things out with his family and coaches before making a final decision.I'll let y'all know when I do touch base with Ian, but I wanted to put out an update that may shed some light on what's going on.
