One of the biggest talking points you heard when news broke of Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC was how it would negatively impact Texas A&M, specifically on the recruiting trail. The argument was that A&M will lose the pitch of “we’re the only SEC school in Texas,” and that the Longhorns would see an uptick in recruiting when they joined the conference similar to what the Aggies saw almost a decade earlier.
The recent commitment of four-star safety Bryce Anderson certainly puts an anecdotal ding in that narrative, but then that’s only one recruit (albeit a major one).
