'15 TX DT Daylon Mack (Texas A&M Verbal)

[Ironman8]

I like all those players you guys mentioned but I'm talking like big time guys. LSU offers, A&M, Texas like we actually beat them out for a kid.

Uh Kap decommitted from A&M for ND, and Smythe decommited from Texas for ND...

 

[aubeirish]

I see your point GB and I think the staff is really trying hard to get Texas talent up to ND. That game in Dallas was a great start in showing our stuff to the recruits. It might pay off in the long haul.

 

[GBdomer]

I'm talking national recruit some one who everyone wanted. No disrespect to Kappy and McDaniel because they both are having good careers. Just never mind you guys aren't seeing what I'm trying to ask lol.

I was being facetious in mentioning McDaniel. He's clearly not what you meant by a "big time recruit", even if he's playing like one.

 

[NDPhilly]

Nick Watkins isn't a big time national recruit everyone wants?

 

[CanadalovesND]

He means like a 5-star player (or very high four star) out of Texas.

I get that you are saying we have no crushed Texas recruiting, but for a team that plays in Indiana I think BK and Co. is doing pretty well lately, especially considering how bad our Texas recruiting got in the Willingham and Weis years.

Smythe had offers from Texas, Stanford, Florida, etc. Torii Hunter had offers from Bama and Oklahoma. Plus, we have all seen how bad Texas has been at evaluating in state talent lately, with how many guys excelling that they passed on.

 

[Redbar]

Tim Brown?

 

[GBdomer]

Tim Brown?

That's who I thought of as well. Just don't know if it's been that far back. I like McDaniel a lot he has proven me wrong this year. Tori Hunter will be a baller and Smythe reminds me a lot of Koyack. Potential wise? Who knows. I should have stated who was the last elite, super star we got out of the lone star state.

'15 TX DT Daylon Mack (Texas A&M Verbal)

OSU offered today. Not really that notable but was reading the 247 article and this is the type of stuff u get from Bucknuts reporters:



"There was definitely a tone of excitement in Mack’s voice as he talked with me about the offer from the Buckeyes. But if more proof was needed, he also gave three exclamation points at the end of his tweet proclaiming the Ohio State offer"

That site is just terrific, I can't believe it even exists but the fact that it does is amazing. It's a bunch of people convincing each other of ridiculous shit.

 

[GBdomer]

Bill Kurelic makes me happy we have Tom Loy

 

[ResLife Hero]

Decommitted. He's supposedly really close with Malik Jefferson so this could be big for UT, and bad for our next 2 season openers.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Charlie Strong doing work.

 

[GowerND11]

Charlie Skrong doing work.

FIFY

Sumlin is having a very bad day. If the stories are true that he held off on hiring a DC because he thought he could get John Chavis along with G. Mattison in a support role, then I have to question his ability to think very well. Losing out to Texas for Jefferson and then losing his best defensive commit the same day has to have Aggieland in full meltdown mode.

As they should be. John Football gave Aggie land false hope.

UT just picked up a couple of big time JUCOs as well on the defensive side.

 

[stlnd01]

For our 2015 game I'd be more worried about the Jucos than Daylon Mack. But it does appear that order will soon be restored in Texas football, at least as it relates to UT and A&M.

 

[PLACforever]

College football is better when Texas is running the Big12

 

[irishff1014]

They were talking about an recruit on fox sports wrong prospect.

 

[BeauBenken]

He is part of the reason recruiting has a bad vibe.

Is this in reference to something?

A&M has to order special bars for Mack to work out

Texas A&M true freshman defensive tackle Daylon Mack has been impressive on the field in fall camp and will be an integral part of the Aggies' defensive line rotation this year.

The five-star defender is just as impressive in the weight room as well.

Aggie strength and conditioning coach Larry Jackson was on TexAgs radio on Friday and told an interesting story regarding Mack.

Jackson spoke about the team working on chain squats one day and something interesting happened while he was watching Mack.

"He had 600 pounds on the bar plus the (66-pound) chains so that’s all that can fit on the bar," Jackson said. "We thought we had it on there secure...but the clamp falls off and two of the plates slide off.

"This dude is so strong that the one leg of his recovers, he stands out with the bar and just finishes the squat and put it back."

The episode actually caused Jackson to have to special order different bars to allow Mack to squat.

'We have plenty of weights for him to lift...I guess what I didn’t anticipate – we use the standard bars that they use in all weight rooms," he said.

"I had to order special bars which finally made it to campus this week, Wednesday, that I’m going to have to use when he squats because we don’t have bars long enough to slide all the weight.

"We really don’t know what he can max one rep. We go up to six (or) seven hundred pounds and he’s still just repping. We can’t get enough weight on the bars to figure out what he can do for about a one- or two-rep max. We just put as much weight as we can get on the bar and just have him start doing reps."

Jackson had compliments for veterans such as Myles Garrett and Brandon Williams but he had a lot of good things to say about the true freshmen in general.

"You’ve got a lot of guys, they don’t talk a lot," he said. "They come in and they put in work. They know what they came in for, they know what league they’re playing in…They’ve got a serious, hungry look."

That's a man.... Yikes.
