Slocum shrugs, bad recruiting otm:| like flies on his should’ The newspaper lists i chip football players where!! words “committed to A&’| are as common as a warmi in the last two weeks bother the A&M head footh coach. He says the whispers! A&M’s new crop of recmiJ won’t compare to last year'lquality publii which ranked the fourthkl In 1994-91: in the nation, are unfounded |forthe Unive Slocum is calm when talilUniversity of ing about the recruiting nrJUCLA, they ' like the eye of a hurricane.i|S1526 — mui which the gales are the nirlothers. To fir bles of die-hard Aggies. Imoney, it's a “I’m very pleased,” Sloctcltomy second says. “I think the people ttfil Myth #2: j have committed to us are pi shouldn’t ha’ 1 ing to help us a lot.” I Fact: U.S. But the popular outloiil the fifth best does not bode so well, day's Houston Chronicle k: none of its Top 100 recruis committed to A&M. Nationi reports say that A&M have none of the country’s!«! recruits. Those lists, Slocum can deceive, though. “There are a lot of kidso: those lists that won’t endiij where those papers say they will,” he says. “Seven teen- and 18- year-old peo ple can change their minds a lot. “Some times people will call up a young man and ask ‘How do you feel about this school?’ and say ‘Yeah, it’s a good place Next thing you know, he! committed to going to thal school.” And just because A&M mi not get a ton of touted blue chippers doesn’t mean thai Slocum’s bringing in a bund of stiffs. He is quick to poim out that Ray Childress wask even awarded all-district 1 ors before he came to A&M Four years later, he lefl A&M as one of the Aggies best defensive linemen eve! and was drafted by the Hous ton Oilers. He is now a peren nial All-Pro linemen in thf NFL and a potential Hallol Famer. Then again, not even thf blue-chippers work out. Run ning back/defensive Wilbert Biggens came to in 1991 as a blue-chipper fror. Aldine MacArthur Higl School, drawing comparisons to NFL star Thurmat Thomas. Four years later, Biggenf had failed to make an impa( after switching positions sec eral times. Slocum has a proven trad record when it comes bringing in talent. Only other colleges have won morf games than A&M in 1990s, and no school win: that many games without ent, regardless of the number of Top 100 players and “can't miss” athletes Plus, the Aggies can affori a non-marquee freshmen crop due to the success of year’s recruits. That class duced freshman standout Sirr Parker, Tiki Hardeman and Eric Bernard. The Aggie; also have freshmen such as fensive lineman Brandon Houston and defensive Toya Jones, who could flour ish in their second year. That should give the Ags breather so they can reload team. True, there are some glaring needs in the secondary with the departure of corner back Ray Mickens and safety Dennis Allen, but Slocum has enough ammo to keep Wrecking Crew’s guns blazing So when Slocum tells ^ in that Texas drawl that A&M’s recruiting is goin? fine, you tend to believe hin^ He’s got the track reco when it comes to judging t ent, despite what the newspa pers say fees and roor sities.
