re: My Aggie Roommate Says A&M is stealing Denzell Devall

They had Peterson one on one with Fuller and told him not to give anything deep to Fuller, thus why he had all those little 5 yard outs. Peterson did his job, and thus why all the other interceptions happened to a QB who didn't throw that many over the season. I don't think A&M even tried to throw deep on Peterson, not entirely sure on that
Miller continuously broke contain on running plays to the point where LSU started running plays right at him. Von is a GREAT pass rusher (I love the guy and is a very nice and humble guy FWIW), but until he learns to not over-run plays and become better in pass coverage, teams will look to go at him

I was born in 1958 so I am using stats from that point on.
From 1958-2010 TA&M has gone 38-20 and LSU is 47-11.
-from 1958-1966 TA&M had nine straight losing seasons.
-from 1968-1973 they had six straight losing seasons.
that's 15 out of 17 years of losing.
A&M's longest win streak in my lifetime is 12 years from 1984-1995.
After 1958 and before the six straight that started in 1989, LSU had three losing seasons.
From 1958-1973 LSU had 16 straight winning seasons.
Yes, LSU was coming off of the worst six year period ever in it's history when Saban took over, but the eight years since Slocum left are no where near to being the Aggies worst period.

Memphis I'm on my mobile. That was a typo.
And Fuller had 7 catches for i thinkn83 yards. That's more than almost anybody else did on PP and more than fuller got on amukamara.
And Von is actually really good in pass coverage. People (including tv analyst) just assume he's not because of his gaudy sack numbers. Scouts realize how good he is and that's why he won't be drafted any lower than #3 in the draft

Feels that way for us younger Ags. There are many parallels between our two schools. Not such a bad thing, I don't think.

I watched that YouTube video of Von vs. LSU. Yeah, it pained me to see him overrun some plays, but that same hard angle he took toward the RB on the QB keeper is the same one's he used against OU to get our goal line stands. Sometimes they pay sometimes you get burned.
I think Von as a Junior was suspect in pass coverage, but Sherman convinced him to stick around for his senior year 'cause he had some things to work on (and prove). As a senior I recall him breaking up all kinds of passes. He even ended the t.u. game with an INT.

alpha, he played 2 different positions his Jr and sr year. As a Jr he was a Jack and sole responsibilty was pass rushing. Last year he was our joker in Deruyters 3-4 and had many responsibilities

I'm familiar. I suppose I could've said he was suspect in the eyes of NFL scouts.

will a&m leave us any recruits left in our own state?
According to Texags, a Devall commitment to A&M would cause an epic meltdown on tigerdroppings and that Phillips got bullied to decommit from A&M and to consider LSU more.

i think i read that too 
though it will cause some sort of meltdown if/when they snatch devall.

Shows the knowledge of that site. Patterson's head coach would never do such a thing, as well as Phillips' family.
I'm not sure where we are looking at Devall for, OLB or DE, but there would not be a meltdown at all on this site over him. Is he a good player? Yes. Can he be replaced if we miss out on him? Yes.

I doubt it. There is only room for maybe one more LB considering how many have committed already. There are a few good ones still left in the state and the staff may be entertaining a few outside of the state as well. I think a lot of folks would rather A&M have him vice a rival SEC school. A&M isn't a threat compared to Bama, Auburn, Arky, or the MS schools.

He's a good player but so are all of the LB's already committed to LSU. Seeing 3 LB's already committed doesn't look very attractive to prospects. A&M could nab 2 good Louisiana LB's and claim that they stole them from LSU.

The bottom line is that A&M is on the rise. They had a great season last year and Sherman is selling kids on that and where the program is headed. He's also selling kids on his tenure in the NFL. I think LSU benefits recruiting Houston/East Texas when A&M is down. LSU is a great academic school, but from an academic standpoint, A&M owns one of the best academic institutions in the country; so when they are good at football, it also helps them with kids that view academics as important as well. With A&M good, the battles will be heated in East Texas and Louisiana. At the end of the day, the current state of A&M will land more targets in East Texas and Louisiana kids will stay home and choose LSU. With both schools up in football, they should both finish in the top 10 every year in recruiting. It's actually refreshing to see another school in Texas on the rise. There's always UT, then TCU, now A&M. It's good for College Football.

Even in the abysmal late R.C. Slocum and Dennis Franchione years, A&M could snag a Martellus Bennett or a Reggie McNeal or a Mike Goodson. And thats after 6 or 7 win seasons.
If A&M keeps pumping out 9 or more win seasons, then expect to see the Aggies easing back into national recruiting lists and relevance. I expect LSU to always be able to snag a kid or two from the Houston area, and A&M is starting to take more kids from East Texas.
A stronger A&M isn't much to an LSU, but will probably be felt most by Okie State and to a lesser extent OU.

Not to pimp Looch, I take evrything he says with a large grain of salt, but unless you are reading his premium info board, not the A&M Football or Recruiting boards, but the locked pay to read stuff, you are getting jobbed and probably trolled half the time. Just as I wouldn't form my SEC Team X opinions from the SEC Rant on here.
And yes Von is a first class guy, signed a pic for my unborn son after partying with Snoop all night at the SB.

A&M could very well get one of devall/phillips.
LSU already has granier, fiest, louis at lb and phillips is a lb who knows where davis and devall would end up. that's a lot of potential lb in one class. not surprising that one would want to go elsewhere. for us better at A&M than sec west school.
end of story.

This is all true, and to your last comment, although UT will continue to get most of the top talent, they will feel the sting of losing more than usual top players than they have over the last several years to A&M as well...

I walked away from the Cotton Bowl thinking the exact same thing about Peterson.
Peterson did not have a great game, either. That is true.
He had a difficult matchup against Fuller (who was pretty impressive), and Tannehill was delivering those comeback passes on the money. Tough to stop that.

Yeah, Jefferson is a little bit faster than Landry Jones. They probably should have used a different game plan.
