Now Petros has taken Bara.

A&M just offered Kentucky WR transfer Jordan Anthony.

The interesting thing is he runs track as well. He finished 2nd indoors in the 60m at both SECs and Nationals.

He ran a 10.16 at the Tom Jones meet this year in the 100m and a 10.28 at SECs.

Could be a big pick up for track that wouldn't count against track scholarships along with Ernest Jackson from Refugio who ran 10.22 at state meet.

Would be huge!! We need to turn this into a sprinting machine! A huge step would be getting Asinga on board

With Anthony, Asinga and Ryan Martin (who has a covid year), pretty much anyone on fourth leg gives you a chance to win the 4x1. Let's hope we get him (and get Asinga to not go pro).

Her PB would have put her 5th on the SEC list this year and 33rd on NCAA list. Great pickup!

She also finished 3rd in the 200m in a time of 23.55


Ondrej Gajdos (Czech Republic) had a slight improvement in his 1500m personal best from 3.42.82 to 3.42.71


Does anyone knows if Camille Rutherford is still with the team?

Ags pick up Kentucky WR transfer Jordan Anthony via the portal.

Big pick up for track. Finished 2nd at SEC and Nationals in 60m indoors.

Him, Ryan Martin, Devonte Mount and Asinga would make a great sprint group and would challenge for 4x100 title next year...assuming Asinga makes it to campus.

And he has a 46.2 pb in the 400! Him, Whitmarsh, and Norris will be a strong 800 group! Maybe he can be in the 4x400 as well

Frosh (guess now a soph) hurdler Hendrick Hundl has announced on Instagram his intentions to transfer.

All speculation, but I can see some movement from the 400 guys! Pat Henry should never settle for 46 splits, especially not in todays game and not with the transfer portal! We need a top of the line 400 transfer!

Didn't see it posted but earlier we landed Zach Munger! He placed 6th in the 6A Division 3200! 9:01 PR! Huge pick up! His junior year time was 9:55, dropped his mile from 5:19 to 4:19! This improvement is wild! Was 20th in state at cross country and has a 5k PR of 15:43! Huge pick up, can't wait to see him grow!

Also of note, Issam Asinga has put "aggietfxc commit" back in his bio!!! He had taken it off at one point! Could be nothing but it's pretty big news in my book!

Was just looking for who picked up the top sprinters (boys) from Texas. I was shocked that 8/10 on top 10 were not signed. I kept checking and only saw 3 from the top 30 had signed; Bobby Drake, Dower Powel both to A&M and another (#8 or 9) to Miami.

I recall an article I read that stated NIL proposed bill to take effect 7/1 if the senate has voted in favor otherwise it takes effect September 1. These students are about to enter into a new age of getting paid and recruited to come run. I wonder how A&M will respond or fare in the new age. We will know soon enough. We may be done with short sprinters for this recruiting cycle/ or maybe not. Top times on the board are 10.30 fully automatic /wind legal.

The team is apparently conducting a reduction in force. Some PWOs and others are being cut with not much notice.

Rylee Lydon is the your Nike Nationals Runner Up in the Heptathlon! She scored 5152 points, which would have placed 9th in the SEC! She had some great performances including a 2:12 800! Her weakness was in the throws only earning about a combined 950 in the shot put and javelin, but that's common for a young multi! She also didn't reach her potential in the long jump which is a top event for her! She will come in next year and score at conference and hopefully get close to qualifying for nationals!

Any news on who might be in the transfer portal?
It seems like we might be adding Dillion Bedell from Baylor.
His PB is
200m - 20.89
400m - 45.46

He also split 44 on Baylor 4x400m relay team

Arkansas picks up another top Jamaican Triple Jumper. Apalos Edwards transfer from LSU to Arkansas. PB is 16.84m (55'3").

We are yet to pick any long and triple jumpers for the upcoming season. I am hoping we can get a couple of good ones. We have been lacking in this area for some years now.
