It’s no secret that one of the big advantages that Jimbo Fisher brings as the head coach of Texas A&M football is recruiting acumen.

Of course, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but in the interest of a full evaluation of the Aggie staff’s recruiting prowess, it’s worth mentioning that the stellar 2022 crew was almost even better than it ended up.
Last year, however, following back-to-back 8-4 and 5-7 seasons, it seems that the shine wore off the Texas A&M football program in the minds of recruits.
