2027 Mark Matthews 5* OL from STA

Advertisement
We have elite recruiters and a strong track record of recent success on the OL. If we don't land Matthews, it won't be because we "whiffed," it'll be because we were materially outbid. Plain and simple.

What’s the draw to a&m for these kids? They be landing elite guys and a lot of them has a&m as one of their top teams

They have had a lot of top recruiting classes that never pan out when the season gets going. What happened to the best ever class with all of those top D Linemen they recruited? Good place to go to end your football career. They are 3-6 in there last ten years in bowl games and have only been ranked in the top 25 only 4 times in the last 12 years. After all of these top recruiting classes.

Agree. This one has that the kid is jerking us around vibe. I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks - commit if you want to be here. Otherwise tell us no and let us move on.

Why? Cause he's taking trips to other places. What will you say when he visits Georgia. Take your cane PTSD out of it. If he's a cane or not Miami hurricanes will be fine 👍. I remember so canes fans was the same way about Derek Cooper. The way Mallory played at the spring game looks like we got a better rb!

We just made the title game behind the strength of both lines. Mario ain’t gonna quit even if this kid commits to TAMU.

People said the same about Bain and his recruitment too. The Saban golf cart video had dudes panicking. Just for him to be an all time Canes great.

You remember Bain's followup video where his cousin or uncle was driving him around Miami in a golf cart? Hilarious, and that was when I knew he was coming.

They realized that they couldn’t afford to spend $25M plus inflation each year for each new recruiting class…it would add up to nine figures by year four and become an unsustainable operation.

A&M is also favored for the 5 star OL from NJ. I feel like we split them at the end of the day.

His agent said in an interview they really like Miami. They just don’t know if miami lands Matthews, that Miami would have enough in their budget to pay the both of them. So I assume the same applies to aTm

Actually, Pickett was from Tampa as I recall. He had the family connection to Miami.
 
A&M recruits well but they always come up short. since the 90's, whenever that program was suppose to take the next step it never did.
 
A&M been blessed with easy sec schedule last two years. This year much tougher. Road games at LSU, Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma. With home games against Texas and Tennessee.
 
Unfortunately in this NIL era keeping your recruitment options open and upping your price tag is just smart business.

Regardless, I trust Mario with OL recruiting until I have reason not to.
