Texas A&M's #1 class of all time ... 3 years later

Buying championships rarely works. Specially when you have a clown organization like TAMU was under Fisher.

Not all those players were bust though. Walter Nolan seems like a big-time defensive tackle at Ole Miss while Evan Stewart starts at wide receiver for Oregon. Or at least he’s in three receiver sets. The bit I’ve watched he’s always making plays.

Quarterback Connor Wegman is intriguing. He played well against Miami when we beat them two years. He was a highly rated guy, but some injuries. Just not a fit for Elko. Somebody in Miami should take a look at? The kind of quarterback who would excel with a change of pace to a quarterback, friendly system? He had the tools.

Look at the attrition from Miami with Mario booting all the guys that couldn’t hack it in Mario World — and how we can watch them play in the ACC Championship Game Saturday

This narrative is so ******* tired.

B Smith = outperformed but didn't want to play RB here.

Roberts = had a good year last yr and didn't do much this year
JHH = avg and not better than Barrow who we replaced him with
Harvey = avg and worse stats than Baron who sucked for us

Rest of the Miami transfers don't do anything or flat out suck.

Keshawn Smith would have the 6th best stats on Miami with 500 yds receiving.

Keep trusting the evals man.

WTF does that mean?

Our defense was poor this year. Mario missed on a lot of evals -- transition class, 2022 and 2023 classes and his evaluation of players that got encouraged to leave like the SMU crew. If we kept and developed some of those losses we need to supplement less.

Many Mario defenders keep on trustin the evals in the face of clear reviews showing his evals and development are often mid.
 
A lot of coaches do a bad job of measuring the talent of their own players against guys on other teams. Not sure what happened with ER and JHH, but in hindsight man could we have used both this year.

Yes, you take Weigman if he comes cheap and agrees to compete for the job. No promises.

We did not boot JHH and Roberts. We wanted Roberts but he left because he wanted more playing time, despite him being in line to have more playing time. JHH left because he wanted more NIL, we gave that money to Barrow. Idk why people keep running with this narrative that we encouraged every single transfer to leave. Same with Colby Young. We wanted to keep Colby, but we weren't willing to pony up more money to keep him here. Pretty much replaced him with Sam Brown.

1. Lack of development

2. I TRULY believe your recruiting class HAS to have chemistry and get along. These kids were all bag chasing and probably never ***ked with each other. You hear all the time of recruiting classes having group chats.

3. Some kids just aren’t good in the grand scheme of things

A 10-2 season that could've easily been a 5-7 season. Against a weak AF schedule too. Not really something to pound your chest over.

No one’s pounding their chest over this season. But plenty of people are moaning, groaning and *****ing about it. Yes might have been 5-7. But, yall coulda, shoulda any GD season. It’s football, played with a two pointed prolate spheroid, that takes crazy bounces. Mopes are always gonna the contrarians. “Hey we won a Natty” “. Yeah but we should have scored more points and played better D.” People don’t have to celebrate it, but also don’t have to s**t on it either. Build on it and move forward.JFC🙌🏽

Oregon and Texas are both very close to buying a championship.
