He won't play both sports at Texas from what I am hearing. I agree with you deuce yesterday it was LSU-ATM now it's UT-ATM?

He had some quotes yesterday that said "Texas and A&M were tied at the top".


Burntorangenation.com says he responded to this question:

So, where do the Aggies and Longhorns currently stand for Seals-Jones?


With:

A&M and Texas are both great schools. They both have great talent and good education and are close. They are pretty even in my book.



Comparing where the two are, not saying they're his top two. They stole it from the Rivals article so they could have mangled it up.

The scary part of the article on burntorangenation for both Texas & LSU is this:

quote:

In regards to football, there have been some rumblings that Seals-Jones like the A&M offense, which will be a pass-happy version of the Airraid under Sumlin and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, the former Texas Tech quarterback. Seals-Jones confirmed that on Wednesday and it could play a significant role in his eventual decision, perhaps even the most significant role.

IT wouldn't surprise me one bit if he goes to Texas A&M. Texas has struggled with the forward pass recently with no clear end to that coming up soon and it's obvious our passing game has been pretty nonexistent the last 4 years, granted we are about to get out of that slump. A&M meanwhile is about to go full Hawai'i in the passing game.

They won't play the 2011 LSU and Bama D every week. Kentucky was not demolished running a similar offense with Couch and Florida under SOS was not exactly running the LSU or Bama O either

Texas aTm is in for a rude awakening in the SEC with the offense they plan on running. Everyone complains about running the football but running the football effectively is what wins football games in this conference. Throwing it 50 times doesn't.

He was never told that he could not play both sports at Texas. If he comes to Texas he will get his chance to walk-on and contribute.

Didn't Tannehill only throw 3 INTs his junior year, then proceeded to throw three against us in the Cotton Bowl?

The majority of defenses in the SEC will be able to easily expose that air raid offense

That was Tammy's 4th or 5th start when he too over for jj halfway through the season.

Don't really care what burnt orange nation has to say about our offense. Sumlin won't Air raid it all day but your damn sure he will sell his passing game to RSJ .

It won't by any means week in and week out. Better teams will hold them down but then there's Ole Miss, Kentucky, etc...

Point though is an air raid offense is attractive to a receiver. They are going to like an offense that throws the ball 500-600+ times a year.

I think Chevis is going to be my favorite commit for A&M just because of him looking like a larger Mr. T

How good is TAMU's basketball program?


They have been to the tournament 6 of the last 7 years (with last year being the lone miss) and have won at least one game in the tourney 5 of those 6 trips.

Also, they signed what is probably their best recruiting class ever this year.

That remains to be seen. They have a good number of running backs and a good offensive line so they will probably include more of a running attack than you think when you think "Mike Leach Air Raid".

They were like one of only three teams that had won at least one game in those first five tourney trips they made (It was them, Pitt and someone else). Pretty impressive and is amazing how much Billy G revived that program. That new facility they have is VERY impressive as well. Remains to be seen what will happen with the team under Kennedy and how he deals with his illness

I was lucky to be able to watch Acie Law and Joseph Jones, then the brief view of DeAndre in college. Pretty sure Acie will go down as the best b-ball player at A&M for his clutchness

It will come down to how well Showers or Manziel can handle the QB spot before Matt Davis takes over or hopefully Kohl Stewart, if he ever makes it to A&M.

Their line is very impressive and Michael with Trey Williams could be pretty strong, if Michael can ever stay healthy

He is arguably the most clutch player in A&M sports history. That's not saying much though, A&M athletics as a whole is about as clutch as LeBron James in the 4th quarter.

Don't sleep on Brandon Williams, the transfer from OU, either. If he gets his hardship waiver he could push for some serious PT this season.

That said, a successful season for A&M this year is making a bowl game and I'm not sure how that translates to securing a Seals-Jones commitment.

I think he'll take a good look at LSU and the QB situation, if it's as improved as people believe it is, could be as important a factor as say the offensive scheme at A&M. For both A&M and LSU, the longer RSJ stays uncommitted, the better their chances.
