They also flipped a 4-star OL from Auburn, and got one of the top RBs out of Louisiana. Nick making the most out of the extra recruiting week he got this year.

From my medical opinion, they can usually play at about 80% at 3 weeks and 100% at somewhere between 4-6 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll trade you a 5-10, 340 pound buffet killer, Swiss army knife center/defensive tackle/ speed bump for one of them spare running backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally not trying to play the "we didn't want him anyway card," by the way. Obviously I would like to have McClellan as well, but he seems more in the mold of 'Bama backs. That kind of classic between the tackles, lets linemen set up blocks, then busts into the clear kind of back. McGowan is more of a burst runner, not unlike Rodney Anderson. I think he suits our system better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a place like Bama to share the load and redshirt a year and just rest. I am of the unpopular opinion here in Aledo, but that kids needs a break whether he believes it or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 My thoughts on it were that it wasn’t the end of the world to lose a 4 star RB. It annoyed me that he was committed for two years and Riley told other talented RBs that we were full and then the kid decommits the weekend before signing day. All of the while his parents were saying “Jase is going to Oklahoma”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard enough time trusting them even after they're on campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy part of it all is that he shut down his recruiting after committing because he didn’t want the distractions or anyone to influence his decision... then he opened it up again his senior year just to “enjoy the experience” then flipped. I know, I know, he is a teenager, but he handled this all wrong. Just keep your lists and not commit if you are unsure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know true that is. There’s a big A&M crowd out here. Decent Texas crowd (as expected). But the majority of money in Aledo comes from engineering and physicians. So I’m guessing that’s why I run into a lot of A&M and LSU grads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well, the outcome of the playoff was about what I expected (sadly), but the overall season was (gladly) well beyond my expectations. This was supposed to be a building year, with a new Defensive Coordinator and Offensive Line. Instead we won another Big XII title and another playoff appearance. Defense made tremendous strides in Grinch's first year. Obviously we still need serious upgrades to personnel, and the current guys on the roster need to raise their games as well, but I'm thrilled with the progress. The addition of Jalen Hurts certainly helped offset the growing pains we should've had early on, but ultimately his incredible talent as a runner belied the shortcomings of our offensive line and his talent as a deep-ball passer. While the lopsided loss to LSU certainly puts a damper on the season, I'm nevertheless optimistic about where the program stands to go from here.
