A&M - Things are worse than ever

[Irishnuke]

Apparently Tate is stepping back from that graduate early talk.

I'd bet all of my fake internet dollars that he never plays a snap for TAMU.

Developing: Tate Martell to the rescue this summer?

Soooo because of all this their 2017 QB commit is trying to graduate from Bishop Gorman in May a year early then enroll this summer at A&M. What could go wrong?

Whenever you can suit up a true freshman 16 year old against a SEC schedule, you have to try it. They are back, boys!

Wow this is bad parenting.

No way I'd do that to my kid

Setting him up for failure

I would find it hard to believe that the HS would even allow this, but even if they did, he and his parents definitely are in for quite the shock.

They'll get what they deserve, just like A&M.


Posted before I saw the above post. Would have been shocked if it had happened.

People are questioning Hamm now on it and he is saying basically don't worry about it, trust me, Tate is just saying that to get people off his back, and insinuating he may transfer HS's this spring to do it, since Bishop Gorman doesn't allow for early graduation.

What a mess. Hamm seems like a prickish queef.

Speedy Noil. Just keeps piling on.

We've been told by a couple of different people that A&M sophomore receiver Speedy Noil will miss the Aggies' game against Louisville in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl on December 30, 2015. In addition, he will miss A&M's first game of the season next year versus UCLA on September 3, 2016.

Noil caught 46 passes for 583 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman and also averaged 12 yards per return. He was hurt for much of his sophomore campaign and caught just 21 passes (two for touchdowns) in 2015.

I can't rep you but this deserves one.

Also, he utterly blew up on the board over the Kyle Allen fiasco because he was trying to play the cool guy at first and then the news broke and the members went into chaos mode all over him. He ended up having to write an apology post stating that he's just really "passionate" about Aggie football and that posters shouldn't confuse his "passion" for anger or some shit like that. Just a ridiculous excuse for a journalist, if you can even call him that.

Apparently, they've caught him smoking 3 times this season and never did anything. On one occasion he was on the roof of the hotel they were staying in prior to the game. Sumlin found out and didn't do anything. Now, the team is running roughshod all over him and its getting out of hand. What did you think was going to happen, really?

I don't know the exact age and true school year of Martell but it needs to be mentioned that he and Tyjon Lindsey moved from San Diego to BG for football. If your parents are the kind of folks that would move out of state to play at a prep school then they are the same parents that might have held him back in the 9th grade while in San Diego. That technically would make him a high school, red shirt junior. Just food for thought.

This is the best news of the day for ND. Him playing QB at BG next year keeps Dorian Thompson-Robinson on the bench until his senior year and off of other teams' radar. Remember the name.

There's a site that GBDomer once linked to me that had a multi-year old thread detailing what kind of loser Hamm is. GB, if you're reading this, please link it again.

I'll bump this because I'd love to read it.

 

[IrishLax]

I'll bump this because I'd love to read it.

The best part was that it was a completely neutral site, and the topic was like "who are the worst people in the recruiting industry?" and a couple people said "Hamm" and the rest were like "I've never heard of that guy"... and then someone started linking highlights, mainly about how he's a completely unprofessional sack of shit who can never be wrong and is routinely an asshole to his subscribers for no reason.

I also think there was some solid Bill Kurelic ripping in there.

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea, I'm not sure how 247 has managed to employ all of the biggest douches in the entire industry and then gets CBS to buy it, lol.

Hamm was definitely taking a personal stance on the McCulloch recruitment the other day, very reminiscent of Hopkins/Barnett and to some degree Lorenz/Crawford.

I can see how a major like Sports Journalism could attract a ton of dickwads (in addition to some fantastic people, don't get me wrong). Or, could be 247 initially recruiting based on: "hey, you didn't major in Journalism, but played sports at a reasonably high level and seem to be a sports guy? Come join our growing website at 247!" Could see that drawing in the douche nozzles as well.

 

[Classic Irish]

Rec'd 1000x over. Buckeye fans are terrible.

Yep, their behavior at the ND-Ohio State game in Columbus in 1995 and in South Bend in 1996 was atrocious. Appalling, really.

We've officially entered the age of high schoolers reaffirming their commitment to their high school teams. *puke*

Also, I can't remember the last time a thread made me this happy. Like perma-smile happy.

 

[Bishop2b5]

No, because their aren't very many more arrogant fan bases than that group.

And an arrogance with so little actual football success to back it up.

That's not true, they did beat Bama that one time

 

[GBdomer]

Lax, I don't know what site you are talking about. But Taylor Hamm followed Steven Parker into a bathroom to try to get an interview him when he was on his OV. Ended up at Oklahoma and told Hamm to fck off. Earlier today someone asked Hamm who are the most important recruits we have to land before signing day? Hamms response was "There are to many I don't feel like naming them all" Supposedly he was called Hammwise Gamgee once and lost his mind

This one? How and why does Taylor Hamm have a job on 247?

 

[philipm31]

You sir, have not had the distinction of talking to enough Wolverine fans.......and don't get me started on Buckeye fans.......

I think he has.

He said that there are NOT MANY fanbases more arrogant, meaning that it is entirely logical to assume that he has talked to scUM and tOSU fans.

Some would say the very same about Irish fans, but what is happening at A&M is likely pleasing to everyone in the rest of the SEC and the B12.

 

[dad4aa]

Outside of the uncommitted recruits we are currently trying to get that are/were considering A&M, are there any commits (or very recent decommits) at A&M that we may and go after?

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Does anyone know what happened to cause all of this?

Does anyone know what happened to cause all of this?

sumlin pandered to murray's father when he already have a legit 5 star QB on the roster. I would say he got greedy

 

[NDohio]

Does anyone know what happened to cause all of this?

Karma of Johnny Football

 

[PANDFAN]

Does anyone know what happened to cause all of this?

Sumlin promised KM and father he would get playing time, he wasn't getting it at first, pissed off family and started a riff in the team for team Kyle and team Murray....Murray got playing time and wasn't good...then sumlin started the qb carousel...no one was happy...sumlin lost the team, speedy smoking pot and continuing to get caught, sumlin has Texas a&m by balls because he has guaranteed20million ...he won't fire off cord which is pissing off university and sumlin refuses to talk with university except to say basically I'm the captain of this ship now
