Nah, I think he’s referring to the threats that he’s received since deciding to enter the portal from WVU fans.Kid's statement he put out said he felt unsafe on campus ... Was there stuff going on up there I haven't heard about/Brown didn't address?
Better at least get to a title game, but would be very disappointing to not win a title with this class at some point.It’ll probably be topped at some point with how too heavy recruiting has gotten, but A&M landing 8 five-stars and 18 Top 100 kids is… wild.

I mean it’s Texas A&M, so I’m tempering my expectations towards disappointment. I know we’re newer to the SEC, so you’re not as familiar, but we’re really big on moral victories.Every team that has finished with the number one recruiting class has won a national title with the next four seasons. The pressure is definitely on Jimbo who won the championship. Not to get close, not to win the SEC West or even the conference. With this much talent he needs to win national championship or if this will be a disappointment
Meh. How much do recruiting rankings mean today compared to 5-10 years ago now that the portal makes it easier to leave?Every team that has finished with the number one recruiting class has won a national title with the next four seasons.

Not that many players transfer every year. The teams with the best recruiting classes out of high school still dominate the sport. Last year's national title game was still the two most talented teams in the nation.Meh.

You can sign 8 and 18 if those guys know if they lose out on a starting job they can go somewhere else in 1-2 years.
Yeah I feel like the CHAMPIONSHIP OR FAILURE mindset is just kinda goofy in general.
Especially in college football. Too much randomness. Too many variables with the portal.
And there’s like 3 or 4 guys ever that could consistently control all those variables. Everyone else is doing most things really well and catches a little bit of lightning in the bottle.
Jimbo's won a title and before this year Kirby hadn't, so the idea that there's something to prove in that regard is silly.You guys were calling out Kirby for not winning a title with all that talent (despite multiple top five finishes, conference title, playoff appearance, etc) and now that there's a little bit of pressure on Texas A&M "the championship or feel your mindset is kinda goofy". This thread is getting funny.
Why can't Texas A&M have the same expectations as other teams with top talent?
I hear you. I just feel like with the free transfer waiver now, Alabama’s #1 classes where 5 stars had no choice but to languish on the practice squad or bench for a few years or go JuCo were different than now where if a school has a bad season their entire class can transfer out the next year and that previous recruiting class means nothing.Not that many players transfer every year.

Again - we just saw the first batch of Jimbo’s and last of Sumlin’s kids push through the pipeline, and saw how mediocre they largely were athletically at the combine. Maybe you want the win totals to be better, but the upperclass talent doesn’t scream it should’ve been.But this isn't the first high ranking class under Jimbo
2019. 4th ranked
2020 6th ranked
2021 8th ranked

Surely he has to be better than 8 wins, right?
Kirby was winning double digit and still getting criticized.
I think Bama winning so often has people thinking it’s EASY to win a title with good recruits. They’re a totally different monster than most programs
Next Fridaywhen is Conerly committing to USC, nako xl ?
