It’s obvious this staff doesn’t know their a$$holes from the ground when it comes to defensive recruiting. the blatant carelessness of handling of who we've offered and who we haven't offered (and the timing of each) on that side of the ball is flabbergasting.
Ok, so that might be a tad audacious, but hear me out.
Is it just me or is the defensive staff setting themselves up for scapegoat termination after the ’13 season simple because they don’t have the right bodies out there nor do they seem to have a plan to get necessary quantity and more quality??
Case in point, Sean Porter and Jon Stewart aren’t coming back next year. Chuck Thomas retired. Washington was let go to Blinn (no reason why. Huh??) We have Baggs coming back as well as Steven Jenkins in ‘13. There is a real possibility Jenkins jets if he gets a 4th or even a 5th round or better projection after next year simply because he’s a 4th year JR from the Juco ranks. That leaves you with unknown commodities like the Taylor brothers (can they even play in a 4-3?), Richmond and Shaun Ward (bust?). Then on top, we’re recruiting low ceiling, cement shoe White kids at LB & DL that NO ONE else is pushing for but yet A&M is actually PUSHING for these kids in May?!?! Position coaches aren’t signing off on offers the territory recruiters are offering. It’s the wild west and someone is going to be held very accountable in due time.
Don't get me started on the DLine. That deserves its own thread.
The proof is there guys. Very concerning.

Plato argues a liberated prisoner would slowly discover different levels of authentic reality: first he would see the objects and the light inside the cavern, later he would come out of it and see first the shades of the objects, then the reflections of those objects on the water and finally the real objects. At last he would see the Sun and conclude it is the reason of the seasons, it rules the realm of visible objects and is the reason of everything the prisoners see. And remembering his life in the cavern, remembering what he thought he knew there and his captivity comrades he would feel happy for being free and would feel sorry them; prisoner’s life would seem unbearable for him. But in spite of it and in spite of the dangers, his clumsiness and the prisoner’s laughs and scorns, he would return to the underground world to free them.
These are the keys Plato gives us to read the myth: we should compare the shadows of the cavern with the sensible world and the light of the fire with the power of the Sun. The escape to the outer world to contemplate real beings (metaphor of the World of the Ideas) should be compared with the path our souls take towards the intelligible world. Plato declares the most difficult and the last object we reach is the Idea of Rightness (symbolized by the metaphor of the Sun, the last object the released prisoner sees), which is the reason of all the good and beautiful things of the world; it is also the reason of the light and the Sun in the sensible and visible world and the reason of truth and understanding in the intelligible world; is the reality we need see to live with wisdom. -
