For an elite player at a need position, it doesn't get better than Justin Manning.

Each month, the GigEm247 Team picks out the 13 most important recruits for Texas A&M still on the board in the class of 2013. Who's new on the list, and who's dropped out?

Hey, Aubrey, thanks for the list. I wanted to double check because I think I read that Presto is visiting on 3/24, not 3/10. I think we can land any on that list except for Smythe. We should probably be looking for backup options at TE, IYAM...

I don't see how LQ isn't higher on that list.. I like Samples a lot, but LQ is more dynamic and can do more with the ball in his hands..

Well, Gonzalez is new to the list, and quite frankly I like Samples more. He's one of my favorite guys in this class. Plus, with what Sumiln wants to do on offense and how big of a priority they've made Samples, I think he's "more important" as to the overall morale of the coaching staff about this class.
Remember, the list isn't necessarily who's the better player.

What did Sumlin infer about Samples in his press conference? I keep seeing this referenced but I dont remember what was said?

orangebloods is reporting that samples is all but committed to the longhorns.. saying his dad/coach is just giving A&M and the other schools the courtesy of at least hearing them out prior to Samples committing to Texas.

Hmm, well he did name them his leader a week or 2 ago. I want Quiv more, but just because of his versatility. Samples brings a lot more intangibles.

He talked about Coach Samples, and then mentioned his family. You'd have to give it a listen.

I would have Chevis much higher up the list. Kid is a beast at a need position. I'd have him higher than the Jesuit kid.

Well, after locking up three offensive lineman in the last weeks, that position isn't nearly as important as it was a few weeks ago.

That too. Wilson and Aguilar both look like they can play OG, and we seem to be set a Center for a few years with Matthews.

Only thought is one of the Juco DTs may be more important than a couple of the guys at the bottom of the list, but they may not be part fo the intention of this list, great list guys, nicely done
