aTm is only going after the players still fielding the highest offer.

Their plan was never going to work. They are who they are

Waiting for other schools to set the NIL market for each recruit so they know what they have to pony up to top each one.

Louisiana's NIL deals are confidential after the new law passed this past summer...

People keep mentioning this on the internet, but I’ve yet to see any proof that it’s true.

Look at the recruiting rankings. Why is every single major program at roughly 20 commits but A&M only has 9.


Bama, Ohio St., Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma. The schools that have dominated the CFB playoff since it's inception all have around 20 commits.

Texas, Notre Dame, Miami, etc.

A&M is by themselves and you're telling me they have some special plan to drop bags of cash at the end to radically change that?


Something is going on. They could very well end up fine but if they think they can swoop in at the last second by dropping big bags of cash to steal recruits then they're going to piss people off even more than they did in the last cycle.

Pretty sure this was in reference to Jordan Addison at Southern Cal...

Though now the kid is in United Airlines ads, so I think it worked out OK for him.

These kids of 23 want to play, they have to be figuring there’s a lot of talent there if I want to play early I’m not going there. They(Faggies) aren’t offering same pay for new class they have to keep 22 class happy, money ain’t the problem it’s playing time. I read where DJ Lagway is predicted to TXam right now, if Conner W last years 5* doesn’t end up starting by the end of year, definitely next year these 5* QBs want to play asap

Kids telling other kids the money didn't come like it was supposed, or will not come like it was said to them initially.

Also, that class they had was so ridiculously loaded and stacked, why in the hell would you go there? Four 5 star DL and 7 DL total in the top 100. Seven DBs 6 in the top 200, 5 in the top 120. Three TEs (#1 and #4 at their position) all 4 stars, two 5 star WRs, and a 5 star QB on top of the other two QBs who both have 2+ years to play after the 2022 season.

No it wasn't and USC is in a very decent spot in recruiting right now. Josh Pate said other recruits were already talking to the next class and if that's true why does USC have a top 15 class with 17 commits. The Jordan Addison thing was already public knowledge.

Also, go watch that video and Josh Pate says..."if you're a school that typically finishes 3rd or 4th....".(he means 3rd or 4th in signing a recruit) It fits A&M perfectly, then he talks about guys from other states spurning their in-state schools purely for money...like Jacoby Matthews did to LSU and the Georgia kid did to Georgia who both ended up at A&M.

Lastly, it seems A&M is the lone school of typical top 15 finishers that is wildly out of line compared to its peer schools that typically recruit at their level. A&M has been a perennial top 15 recruiter for awhile now.

The kid or handler will just tell the school what they are getting.
