Potentially landing 6 of the top 19 players in the country. On pace to be the highest ranked class in 247 history.
In more good news - A&M is signing arguably “The Best Recruiting Class Ever”
- Thread starter 57stratdawg
- Start date
How many will be in the portal a year from now?
Hard to gauge how good a class is in this new era until we see people holding them together.

Players rated that high generally produce year 1, so they should get a nice bump next season
No one can turn world class ingredients into a **** sandwich like A&M.
Count me among the not so afraid.

If this was 2017, I'd be concerned. But I'm not in 2022, for these reasons:
1) It's still aTm, they are still weird, and they've never gotten it done;
2) I'm very curious if mostly immature 18-22 year olds can handle being motivated by money to play;
3) They'll lose a lot to the portal.
Or....they may become the biggest benefactor of the NIL era. Guess we'll see how it shakes out. I will say that it seems Jimbo has learned that you can't do it with Texas talent alone, and he's went out and got some highly rated out-of-state defensive linemen. Maybe he's got the formula.
Perhaps these guys were always motivated by money alone.

Interesting comparison. On one hand, they are totally different cultures. On the other hand, Clemson most definitely had a reputation for choking too, right up until they didn't.

Really? I’d be willing to bet the stats on that are less than 40% (probably lower) of them “producing” in a “top performer” role.
