A&M seeks more Dallas recruits
Posted: Thursday January 10, 2008 07:18AM ET
Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said he will hit the recruiting trail Monday, the first day allowed by the NCAA. His prime target: Dallas. In his first interview with A&M reporters, Sherman said he wanted to make serious recruiting inroads in the Dallas area. Three A&M assistants will be assigned to scour the area that's become a gold mine for Oklahoma, Missouri and many other top-25 programs.

Report Offensive CommentThis is on par with University of Miami looking for recruits in Florida...
Sherman is doing one of two things, correcting a wrong from the previous coaching administration or trying to dispell the concerns that he can't recruit...

Report Offensive CommentOk, so the Aggies want to recruit more in Dallas....I thought every Texas team was already doing that.....
Anyway, what makes the Aggies think that players would choose a sub par progrm over the likes of OU and Texas. 2 teams that already have a recruiting pipeline out of Dallas. I guess if they want the leftovers thats up to them. They'll never be anything more than an afterthought in the Big 12.

Report Offensive CommentYup, they need to change their image of being one of the dummy schools.

Report Offensive CommentShane, shut the trash up. A&M is an attractive program since it has arguably the best fan base in sports; many journalists, coaches, and athletes agree. Need I reminded you that Aggie recruiting has consistently been in the top 10 (even over "TU" and OU a couple of times) for the past several years, yet only hasn't produced substantial results due to poor coaching. ESPN analysists listed A&M as #1 in the following categories: College Football's Most Unique Traditions, Best Students, Best Stadium Atmospheres. So who wouldn't want to play for someone with those accolades?
Juice, "dummy school?" Then why did the Washington Post list A&M as the #1 university in terms of impact on society and the economy,
