Comment Title: Miller58 Clearly Confused
Miller58? Are you now saying that you would like to have had Trey Franks playing for A&M? What? But he is only a 3* recruit how can he possibly bring anything to A&M with only 3*? Are you afraid that these 3* recruits might actually have something to offer to a program? By your own rationale you should be thankful ou took the 3* recruit which leaves room for A&M to haul in 4* or 5* correct? Sherman doing a great job bringing in the players we need to turn this program around. If we had landed Franks, Miller58 would be complaining that we aren't getting good enough talent, what a joke. Sherman keep up the good work we will be hoisting that Big 12 title trophy soon.

Comment Title: MIKE SHERMAN STARTED TWO-A-DAYS EARLY TODAY WHEN HE LOST OFFERS TO TWO OF THE FASTEST PLAYERS IN TEXAS COMMITTED TO BOB STOOPS!
My personal opinions:_____That makes 20 offers lost over the last 16 weeks for Mike, and 5 now over the weekend with wrecking crew speed?_____Rivals 250 Safety James Haynes 6-1 181 4.36 told sherman no, and committed to ou!_____Athlete Trey Franks 5-9 172 4.4 also told Sherman no, and will play at ou?____ EXPECT OUR NEXT COACH TO BE PLAYING AGAINST THESE TWO UNTIL 2014!_____miller58

Comment Title: A&M WILL WIN 10 AND LOSE ONLY 2 FOOTBALL GAMES THIS YEAR?
My personal opinions:_____Despite Sherman's worse recruiting, A&M still has signed more 4*/5* player talent than 10 of the teams we play ths year!_____WE should win every game we play, except tu and ou, With just average coaching?_____Just look at the talent pool poor teams we play, and their low low rankings!_____#116 Utah State, #106 New Mexico, #95 UAB, #91 ISU, #76 K State, #66 Baylor, # 41 Colorado U, #31 tech, #26 Arkansas, and #10 okie lite!_____A&M has signed a larger talent pool than every one of them._____Next year, because of Sherman's terrible recruiting, a number of these teams will pass A&M in the talent pool?_____Really doesn't matter though, because Sherman's coaching is so bad, we'll lose more games than we win, both this year and next year._____But with more talent, most coaches would easily win 10 games this year, and with good coaching, might win 11 or 12?_____miller58
