A&M just seems to be becoming more dominant in recruiting
Who cares. They can’t accomplish anything with these players do better A&M than a real rival program like Bama or Georgia.

All Jimbo does is take talented players and gradually make them worse over 3-4 years. He’s stolen so much money from these schools.

I'd rather him go be a loser at A&M than go to a team that's an actual threat.

I have no idea but if u looked at the commitment vid on Twitter, it’s looks like a business decision and moms is all smiles, Dom shows really no emotion and Pops is just happy for the kid to get some of this stress off of him, kid is a real humble quiet kid
Moms are typically fricking idiots when it comes to this stuff.

Of course they did. Paying players isn't some new concept. Only the legal aspect is new. Funny thing, we seemed to do better when spending our money under the table(there's a slew of South FL kids we without debate bought pre NiL). Can only cheaters prosper in LA? Legal money seems to be an issue.

Money had absolutely ZERO to do with his decision. He actually turned down a few places that outbid A&M.

Please elaborate on how you KNOW this info to be correct?
So why A&M over any other SEC/B12 team in close proximity? Lets be real here: A&M certainly can’t offer up their Winning tradition or any type of actual success recently.
What gives??

Was never about money with him.
He’s wired differently. Go look at his social media accounts (or lack thereof). You won’t see the me me me type selfies or daily grind quotes that many others in his situation post.
He was even spoken to a year ago about how his NIL value would significantly increase if he had a larger social media presence, and was not interested.
He’s a great kid with a huge upside. Hard worker, humble, and very unselfish.
His decision was 100% based on his relationship and comfort level with Elijah Robinson.
With all that being said, Geaux Tighas!

He really likes the DL coach. Sometimes, recruiting and relationships actually work.

I’d love to see a study on kids like McKinley
Posted on 9/2/23 at 8:36 am to Coach72
No one’s buying the bullshite with how this played out. It was 100% about money.
You don’t go from Texas lock to OU to A&M in a matter of a week if you always loved a coach. BTW, I completely understand our dire situation at DL coach, but let’s stop pretending like Robinson has done Jack shite for player development at ATM

Only thing that changed was these recruiting writers started figuring it out last minute. It has been A&M for 2 weeks.

I know you're here to cushion the blow, and damage control for your player coach. It's understandable.
With insight such as yours, tells us, what makes A&M a better place for him to play ?
By the way, McKinley got dominated last night by a 6'1" center with zero P5 offers against LCA. He saw alot of the back of Ju'Juan Johnson's jersey last night.
Mckinley was a non-factor.

Hopefully you aren't a coach at Acadiana. If so you should worry more about stopping J. Johnson than defending your players on the internet

Convenient if you to show up after the fact and state such things
Posted on 9/2/23 at 9:12 am to Coach72
GTFOH This was all about $$$! Glad A & nem paying him tho.

Sure looks like he followed the money to me. I don't have any sources on him. Do you? Interpreting social media of teenagers is not a source.

You guys just keep patting yourselves on the back and posting like you actually have a fkn clue what you’re talking about.
