The Eagle article on Sumlin

  • Very good read. Talks about Spring ball, the QB battle, 2nd half collapses, and recruiting.

    Here's a telling quote:

    'On the recruiting front, Sumlin said that he and his staff have taken a very aggressive approach early on and lead the country in early commitments, adding that he has a policy with recruits. Now when a player commits to A&M, they are committed to A&M and that visits to other schools are unacceptable.

    "If they want to look around, they're not committed to Texas A&M," he said. "Our guys understand that. Some have said they want to look around. If so, guess what? You're not committed to us."'

  • "To a young man, what's happened in the last five years since he was in junior high school, eight or ninth grade, that's what he sees as tradition," Sumlin said. "We have to do some things from a facilities standpoint to bridge that gap." clap

    His dad reads this board...

    Also, I assume Sumlin said something along the lines of "if you're visiting other places, we'll assume you're not committed" when JJ committed.

    If I need to take down what I said, I will. But I didn't attack the kid or his talent level. I actually think he would be a really good fit in this offense and am upset he is visiting Baylor because I want him to come here. That said, I suggested sending it to him in hopes that he, like some of our other recruits, would either say, yes I am committed and I will stop taking visits, or no, I'm not committed, I still need to look around.

    Was saying you need to take it down, just letting you know his dad reads the boards so we wouldn't have to send anything to JJ. I'm sure he and his family are aware of the situation.

  • Man, I love Sumlin. I'm so glad we have a coach who plans on finally allowing A&M to fully drop it's nut sack on the SEC!! I mean come on, we are the sixth biggest university in the U.S. and we can't get the players we want. It's so telling in the way he exudes confidence. The only way to change the losing culture that we have here is to have confidence that no matter what, we are gonna go into this with enough swagger to knock every opposition's block off! 8+ wins next year... chalk it up..

    8 would be great. Throw in a bowl win and end at 9-4. That would be huge.

  • Isn't Aguilar also taking other visits? I wonder if they view him the same way they view Jefferson

    I hope most of you can finally come to terms that Sumlin plans to run a version of the Air Raid at A&M. There's no basis to the speculation that Sumlin will return the offense he ran at A&M or the one-back offense he ran at OU. I am extremely happy that he's sticking to what got him the job: a modified Mike Leach-type scheme. No sense in changing what works, especially if you can get the talent to run that type of system in an elite fashion.

    It will be a combo of what he's done in houston/here in 2002 and at ou. Not sure why this needs to be discussed more. I thought it was common knowledge we were running some version of the air raid?
