Post bye week recruiting rundown
The Texas A&M coaching staff scoured the state and country last week. Let's see if I can get a list of all the targets/commits that were seen by Jimbo Fisher and company. 2019 commitsDylan Wright Zach Calzada Baylor Cupp RJ Orebo Braedon Mowry Andre White Tarian Lee Erick Young Bobby Wolfe Kameron Brown Christian Harris Kenyon Jackson Adarious Jones Josh Ellison Kenyon Green Isaiah Spiller Brian Williams Demani Richardson Caden Davis 2019 non commitsMarcus Banks Ainias Smith Jalen Wydermyer David Ugwoegbu Derick Hunter Marcus Stripling Javonne Shepherd Andrew Coker 2020 commitsDemond Demas Josh Bankhead Jordan Jefferson 2020 non commits Chris Thompson Darius Snow Nehki Meredith Jaylen Garth Damieon George Zach Evans Chad Lindberg Jaquelin Roy Malik Hornsby Devon Achane Troy Omeire Devin Price Brian Darby Nate Floyd Donald Warnell Kenneth Phillips Phillip Webb Jase McClellan Seth McGowan Dwight McGlothern Ja'Quinden JacksonLorando Johnson Joseph Wilson Vernon Broughton Alfred Collins 2021'sVince Sheffield Tunmise Adeleye Corey Burt Hayden Conner Bryce Foster Jalen Milroe -I am aware that Ugwoegbu did not play on Saturday against Katy High. From what I know, it was a one game suspension for a minor infraction of team policy. David is back in good standing with his team and has not affected A&M's pursuit of him. -I'll echo what Jason said late last week: if I had to guess today, I suspect Wolfe signs elsewhere. -Don't he surprised to see some new offers go out in the next couple of weeks after the coaches hit so many schools and got to see a lot of HS film.-Derrick Hunter mentioned making a return trip to College Station, and it now sounds like that will for sure take place in January. That's pretty big news. -A new name to watch in 2020 is safety Vito Tisdale out of Bowling Green (KY). The 6-1, 190 pounder holds offers from Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisville, and Georgia Tech.
Some notes at DE
Saw Mayde Creek DL Marcus Stripling last night against Katy Tompkins. Outside of one series where he had a pressure, half sack, and a TFL, he was pretty inactive. Hop said he saw the same thing a couple of weeks ago when he saw him against Seven Lakes. I think he's in between positions. He looked more comfortable in a two point stance in my opinion and seems like he's dropped some weight since the summer. I actually thought he looked more like a linebacker. When he wants to go, he can go, but I just wonder if he wouldn't be a better second level prospect. I've been told that Terry Price and possibly Elijah Robinson will see Stripling next week when he plays Braedon Mowry and Katy Taylor. He'll have his work cut out for him again going against either TCU commit Andrew Coker or top 2021 prospect Hayden Conner. The margins are so fine right now that a bad run of form could cause Strip to fade a little bit, especially when you consider the kind of season and reviews David Ugwoegbu has been getting as well as the insertion of Florida St commit Derick Hunter in to the mix. A source told me late last night that Hunter is planning a return trip with his father. It likely won't be until either the last home game or after the season, and it isn't set in stone, but he'd like to come back to College Station. I spoke to Mowry yesterday who said he hasn't really talked to Stripling in a while about his recruiting. I'll have an interview with Braedon out later, but a lot of folks didn't know he's played the first half of the season fighting illness. He was diagnosed with dehydration and mono before the season started and got some swelling in his liver. He sat out vs Dickinson and saw a specialist who cleared him to play. Pretty amazing to watch the kid perform at the level he has with all that going on.
