This. And he has family going to school there. I know the family pretty well and we missed out on a high character kid

We did the best we could do. Can’t win them all. But in todays free agency days you just wish the kid well and keep recruiting him

Because he has character and went with his word. Out of all the ones we missed, I ain’t mad about this one. Faith restored a bit in the youth coming up

That’s 100% NOT it…if u watched his commitment u can tell that young man isn’t about the dumb shite. No fluff, no trickery, no theatrics…he sat down said he’s going to aTm and unzipped his jacket, that was it. Seemed completely uninterested in the limelight. My 0.02 is he will be at aTm for his entire collegiate career. I don’t look for him to be a portal drama guy after that lowkey LOI signing. Great job by the staff to make it as close as they did.

He's from Texas and never decommitted from Texas A&M. I don't know why people are freaking out over this.

Why couldn't A&M reel in Keylan Moses ? That's a close equivalent to what you're asking.

The fact that we affected his recruitment as much as we did is a testament to the amazing job our staff did with him.

He has been an A&M lock since they started recruiting him as an 8th grade.

Sometimes there's nothing that can beat out home.

Posted byMessagempwilgingWhy Couldn't We Reel In Terry Bussey by mpwilgingLeader broke and I'm a lifetime offshore fisherman. Lost a giant 500+ bluefin recently after a 90+ minute fight and we saw him near the boat. Lost a couple 500-800 pound blue marlin the same way. Oh well, shite happens, and aTm had this from the start..


Not sure why the downvotes. As an offshore fisherman, this analogy made sense. Win some, lose some and we fought hard to get him.

Bussey stuck with his commitment and I respect that.

I also wouldn’t be surprised to land him in the portal within the next two years.

But if he had flipped to LSU it would have been due to his love of the school.

Alumni can be people he knows who have been avid fans he's witnessed all his lives. They don't have to be wealthy alumni giving the school millions every year.

Some people believe you are born gay. Maybe that's it.
