    Closing in on that #1 class. If the rumors are true, and we flip Groves-Killebrew from UGA, it'll be ours.

    Yeah, that is a crazy recruiting class. ATM has always been good about paying players. Now with the new rules, they can pay them on the up and up. One thing I can say about Aggieland, their Alumni are will to put their money where their mouth is. The new rules will play in their favor. Could finally get them their first National Championship.

    Imagine if the playoffs or title game were impacted like this. Could definitely see it happening.

    I would not be surprised if playoff teams had more people sick with Covid than TAMU did right now.

    A great hire for A%M

    Say what you want about Durkin, but he's a great coach.

    He shouldn't be anywhere near college athletes. Enjoy finishing 4th in the SEC West again, let's just hope no players die!

    You sound very salty.

    You act like he has left a trail of dead bodies everywhere he has been.

    I think if Durkin wasn't his coach, Jordan McNair would still be alive today.

    That makes zero sense concerning the actual facts of the case.

    Durkin did not do anything out of the ordinary to McNair.

    https://www.sbnation.com/college-fo...52/jordan-mcnair-death-investigation-maryland

    "Maryland’s May 29 workout, after which McNair was hospitalized, was the team’s first of the summer, and the 10 110-yard sprints were the first conditioning drill after a standard warm-up.

    The medical staff did not take McNair’s temperature or check his vital signs. His reported body temperature upon checking into the hospital was 106 degrees.

    911 was called at 5:57 p.m., over an hour after the sprints. An ambulance arrived with first responders at 6:02, paramedics arrived at 6:08 and McNair arrived at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park at 6:36. McNair was airlifted to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore later that night.

    Head coach DJ Durkin was at the workout.

    McNair experienced muscle cramps during the sprints. This is an atypical symptom of heatstroke, Walters said.

    It took 34 minutes after McNair started showing symptoms for the medical staff to remove him from the field, 67 minutes to call 911 and 99 minutes before he left in an ambulance.

    Trainers did not use cold water immersion because they were afraid of McNair would drown in the tub “due to the concern of size of the student-athlete and the smaller stature of the athletic trainers providing care.” The staff treated him with cold towels instead.

    Durkin was on the field for the workout but not involved in the medical treatment of McNair.

    Surveillance footage of the workout was used for timeline purposes, but Walters said he couldn’t make out anything regarding McNair’s physical condition on the tapes.

    Walters interviewed just six student-athletes during his investigation. He also interviewed all assistant football coaches."
