It is really weird that On3 & Rivals have it LSU and Florida and he still says A&M but with a 5 confidence level. On3 really coming in trying to bully 247.

I really think Aggy is about to get a dose of reality tomorrow after all of that early peacocking about "muh greatest class in the history of earth!!!!"

Yes, they'll still have a top 2-3 class but it was just funny watching them go on and on about it and making fun of LSU. Meanwhile, the staff gets filled out and they run a recruiting Blitzkrieg to near perfection and will finish in the top 10.

Tomorrow is going to be fun, boys.

It would be a failure on the staff.. we’ve had the time to make these relationships. You have to get Matthews. Make him a godfather offer at midnight for an nil deal and be done with it

on texags it was said Perkins was offered 500K over four years by A&M, he committed then asked for it all up front didn't get and decommitted. lol even TA acknowledging they spent 10-14 million on this class.

So if Matthews still picks them, of course no one should be surprised.

Not saying he is wrong but when two other recruiting sites that have more Louisiana ties say its between LSU and UF and he says he'll stick with A&M something ain't right or somebody knows something the others dont. Fong is usually pretty accurate but he gave himself wiggle room with his already mediocre confidence CB. Think he only said he'll stick with it because he truthfully doesn't know.

He's not often but what I have found is that these guys will switch their picks at the last minute with new information just to keep trying to raise their %. I mean this is the On3 main guys going against 247 and completely different opinions.

Seems to me all he is saying is he isn't going to make a change until he is sure.

To me this means nothing.

Why would he make a change now?
He only makes a prediction when he is sure.

If he was offered six figures a year this whole thing is moot. He's an aggie.

Agreed. Think we'll see some changes tommorow though or right around his announcement time on wednesday.

So 5/10 means he's only half sure

Fairly confident that if they offered it then we can also offer it and would likely either do better or add in more perks to get him.

He's likely waiting for people close to the situation to put in their final picks before making his. He does this all the time.

Disagree I think they’ve done all they can considering the circumstances.
