As Expected.....

[Aaron Carrara]

Kyler Murray commits to Texas A&M.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Good pick up for the Aggies.  

 

[Davharjac]

Interested to see if they gain more momentum..

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Interested to see if they gain more momentum..

More interested to see how the season plays out with no Manziel & if it impacts Murray's pledge....

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

I don't think A&M will lose Murray unless they totally crap the bed at 4-8 or worse.  He's a legacy.

More importantly, to Davharjac's point, how many top prospects will he pull with him?  

 

[drgilbert]

Clarence Hill seems to think Longhorn nation is having a meltdown over this commit. I don't understand why we would. He was NEVER coming here. It was not a surprise.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Every time Aggy gets a commit, UT fans are in meltdown mode. It's the standard line for all aggy writers.

[MikeV73]

Error!

 

[Lord Vader]

 Number of people shocked by this commitment: 2

 Impact on Texas: Minimal. This guy going ag has nothing to do with the new staff. Thankfully kids dont associate Charlie with Mack. 

 

[PropositionJoe]

Looks like Kemah siverand might pull the trigger tomorrow too

The funny thing is I remember when Mack Brown starting kicking aggy ass in recruiting the aggy's would say the same things then that we are saying now. Bottom line the worm has turned and let us not forget Mack had a great run with great recruits & average coaching. If aggy continues to land this talent they will win. which means getting even more talent.

Saw that as well.  Apparently announcing at 2:55 tomorrow.  Likely correlates to the Murray news today and especially if Kemah is announcing the day after he released his 18 team list with A&M in the top slot.  Texas needs 2 receivers this year after taking 6 or whatever the total was in February.  Get 2 of Newsome, Strickland, Dillon, Proche, Burt and call it a day.

Need to see some defensive commits fall for Charlie soon and ideally Omenihu's reaffirmation tonight helps the cause.

One of the two needs to be Newsome. He's special.

Newsome, Burt, and Strickland would be a solid haul. This state produces enough talent to field 2 solid programs, I have a feeling both of our schools will have perennial 9-10 win programs within the next couple of years. However, I do expect this commitment to have some effect in this 2015 class, as did the Garrett Gilbert commit in 2009. In this state, a combination of rings and stats make you a legend amongst us football diehards and the tales of how good these players are do resonate amongst recruits. The QBs in this state that have succeeded at the college level have generally had amazing success in high school and generated buzz for their collegiate choices because of it.

Aggies have had 4-5 1st round picks the last 2 years. . . .and they didn't win .. . .

Murray never was coming to TEXAS though I thought he'd go to Oregon. . . .

I think we have seen that recruiting rankings can be very misleading. . . .I'll let some real football happen before I panic.

PS, Newsome lives in a Burnt Orange house. . .level 2. . . .

As opposed to those quarterbacks who failed miserably in high school and were snapped up by major programs only to succeed at the college level.

It is pretty much a given that the kids who succeeded at the college level did well in high school. Doing well in high school is why they got their opportunity at the college level.

 

[Agmaniacmike]

I meant in terms of the playoffs and leading their teams. VY made it to the semis, Reggie won a state champ at Lufkin, same for Dalton, Gilbert had 2 rings (best HS QB I've seen), McGee to the finals, Harrell has a ring, Heard has two rings, Murray has two, RG3 went to the finals etc..The elite QBs will lead even the most devoid team of talent out of the regionals into the final 4 of their state in their respective classifications at least once in their 4 years of high school ball. These are the players that recruits flock to within the state. Either you grab the kid that is good enough to win a state title in the state or the best out-of-stater you can, as long as you weren't a 4-8 team the year before the studs should come. Murray's tape, pedigree, mechanics, and winning are all in a class of their own amongst anybody to come out of the state in awhile, only a fool would think this wouldn't have an effect on other top recruits in the state and possibly the nation. I've believed for awhile now in the philosophy that elite QBs will start their winning ways well before college ball, it is the biggest reason why I feel that Heard will succeed for ya'll and Swoopes will never become what he was touted to be.
