 What if the Iron Wall all commit at the spring game (Bragg, Shepherd, Johnson, Green and hell even Ogar)? A guy can only dream. But the meltdown for Aggy would be epic.

Leal commits to Texas A&M

The No. 3 ranked player in the Lone Star State, per 247Sports, held offers from the likes of Alabama, Texas, Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, among many others, and spoke to AggieScoop this week about his decision to commit to the Aggies. 
“When it came down to it, Texas A&M just felt like home to me,” Leal said of his decision. “I loved the atmosphere, the fans, the coaches and just the way it is up there with the students and the players.”
Just a few weeks ago, the 247Sports crystal ball was in heavy favor of the Texas Longhorns. While it was a very tight battle between the former rivals, the 6-4, 280-pounder explains how the Aggies were able to overtake Tom Herman’s program for his pledge. 
“I was going back and forth between Texas and Texas A&M for months,” he said. “It was a close one. I decided on A&M because, one, it’s the SEC and that would put me in a better position to go into the draft. I also feel more comfortable there. The coaches did a great job recruiting me.”
As soon as Jimbo Fisher and his staff touched down at Easterwood Airport, they were on the phone recruiting. Leal recalls being one of the first players contacted by the new coaches. 
“I remember seeing that Jimbo (Fisher) has been hired on TV, and that next day, they all texted me at once,” he said. “Then, I went up there on a visit and I talked to all the coaches individually. They told me all about the family and just welcomed me. Honestly, they welcomed me into their arms like they had been there forever. It automatically felt like home.”
This news will make headlines and potentially have a major impact on other top recruits who are considering the Aggies. The All-American pass-rusher plans on becoming a class leader for the maroon and white so he will get to work immediately on top targets. 
“With me leading the class, and with me committing there, A&M is going to be on the map again,” he said. “I know a couple of guys who have texted me and asked me a couple of questions. I’m trying to get those guys to commit and I also have a couple guys at my school that I want to come with me. There are a few guys out-of-state that I’m talking with. I don’t really know everyone yet, but once I do, it’s going to be a mission to get them.”
Of course, schools are not going to stop recruiting the First-Team All-State selection but Leal is confident in his decision. 
“I’m 100-percent committed,” he said. “I’m extremely excited to be a part of Aggieland. It’s a dream come true honestly.”

Kid seems solid based on that, it's still April thought.

Need a 10 win season badly.

@Sirhornsalot, do you expect anyone to commit this weekend?

Also looks like the "Great Wall" will be in town this weekend, along with some key LB targets.

Yes, he IS a huge diva. It didn't change.

But man he was something else in HS football. He could take over a game. Gladewater actually had him at TB, too.

His highlight tape was silly. Was legit toting the pill at 330 pounds and his first step was incredible.

Writing also on the wall in that recruitment. Brian Kelly can’t be a big fan of going 0-2 against Texas in these recruitments.

First big plot twist of the cycle. We all knew this cycle would present some issues due to Fisher’s new staff in CS and this is that coming to fruition. 

Did I think they would land a commitment from Leal in the fashion they did? Nope. But that’s Recruiting. Texas is still going to work extremely hard here to get him back on campus again. If he was impressionable enough to commit after one visit, then the turns may not be done just yet in this one. 

I’m curious to see how the staff responds to some adversity. We are about to find out in short order.

The first weekend of May is turning into a big Recruiting weekend. Four star OT tackle Stacey Wilkins reportedly will take an OV that weekend as well. Awaiting confirmation from the man himself.

Mama does not look happy at all. What is the old saying, “ If Mama ain’t happy, nobody is happy!” My Grandma always added, somebody gonna get a limb across the behind, too.

Yes, I do.

Someone should tell Leal that Vanderbilt is in the SEC, too. Nobody goes there because the conference will get them in the NFL.

Aggy is just a long sad history of great expectations which set up great disappointments.

I can't wait to see the beat downs Clemson and Bama' give them followed by a loss to Arky Chad.  Chad and Chief will throw everything that got at them.
