Talked to Hines and Watts at Plano East

Anthony Hines is planning to take a little more time with his decision. It's looking like October/November/mid-season before he makes a decision. Whether he takes an official visit or an unofficial visit, Hines did say he plans to visit A&M in the fall. The first and only official visit he has scheduled right now is to Auburn when the Tigers play Clemson. I'll have a video interview later Deiontae Watts said OU and A&M are tied at the top of his list with USC, UCLA, And Nebraska rounding out his top 5. He plans decide around the end of the season. Coach Turner is one of two coaches along with the Nebraska recruiter he says stand out to him. I'll have a video interview of him later too. Interesting prospect I saw is 6-6, 215 WR/TE Mikael Simmons. He missed spring with a broken hand and he's a also a basketball guy. He runs around a 4.7 40 and just caught my attention. He might be a guy to keep an eye on over the course of the season. He mentioned Tulsa and Kansas State were showing some football interest.Plano East is also home to Zach Nwachukwu, 2019 CB who grew up an A&M fan because his cousin Uzoma. He's a solidly built, young prospect at 5-9, 1802018 DE Lee Alley says he has received some attention from Texas A&M and he really likes what A&M does and coach Chavis. He's a developmental guy right now who could turn into a prospect with a solid fall and spring.

TexAgs Spring Football Tour: Anthony Hines III, Deiontae Watts, and Plano East

This afternoon I went out to Plano East to check out Anthony Hines and Deiontae Watts. The Aggies seem to be in very good standing with both right now, but there are going to be two different timetables on their decisions.Hines plans to graduate early and would like to make his commitment before the season. Watts plans to make his choice after the season and closer to Signing Day. Hines plans to narrow his list "soon" and Ohio State, Michigan, the Florida schools, and the California schools are in his visit plans for the summer. He also plans to visit Texas A&M in "early summer". Watts plans to visit OSU, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Oklahoma this summerWatts plans to narrow his list to a top 10 around the beginning of the season, but he mentioned Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Baylor, and SMU as a few standout programs right now. Hines mentioned coach Turner and coach Chavis as well as the 12th man and the atmosphere at Kyle Field as pluses for the Aggies. Watts really enjoyed how comfortable he felt in Aggieland and with the coaching staff. I'll have those interviews for you guys ASAP.There are quite a few other guys to watch at Plano East. Offensive tackle Casey Verhulst (6-6, 285) definitely passes the eyeball test and has some really nice bend to him. There were not a lot of contact drills today but between his frame, his flexibility, and how light he is on his feet it is easy to see why so many coaches are high on him. Quarterback Miklo Smalls is a guy to watch. He's an athletic guy with some nice size and he throws a very nice ball. Oregon is giving him a good long look and he already holds a few offers. Underclassmen Update: There were a few guys I noticed out there today. 2018 defensive end Lee Alley (prounounced Ali) jumped out to me. He is about 6-4, 220-pounds and has some nice length. He's very raw and spent last fall on the JV, but he has a quick first step and definitely passes the eyeball test. He has some developing to do, but I'll be watching him.Another guy to watch is 2019 linebacker Joseph Carter. Hines' father first tipped me off to the 6-1, 180-pound backer a few weeks ago, and I got to see him today. There's a lot of talk that he will lead a very strong 2019 class at PESH, and he could pick up where Hines leaves off at LB. How big time of a player do people think he can be? Well, last fall he made the jump from freshman ball to starting against Allen and Denton Ryan. I'd say the confidence in him is pretty high.2019 receiver Braylon Henderson is another to keep an eye on down the line. At 5-9, 165 he plays on both sides of the ball and is known for his speed and quickness.

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.”
