Ohio State LB Mike Mitchell it appears is going to transfer to get closer to his ill father. He was red shirted his freshman year at Ohio State. In the recruiting wars it appears Texas A&M was 2nd behind Ohio State. He was a 5 star rated LB from I believe Plano. What at the chances the Aggies recruiting year gets a little bit better in the near future? If not will he consider Texas and help their defense?

His little brother Mickey had committed to tOSU to play basketball as well.  Mike is a beast - set the Nike Camp Sparq (sp?) record - a series of combine-like drills (vertical leap, 40 yd, shuttle drill) to test overall athleticism.  And this from a LB.  My guess is it will be a school that his father would like Mickey to play basketball at as well.

By the way, the family moved to Dallas from Florida and Florida State was initially considered the front runner for Mikey before he signed with tOSU.  OU was also heavily in the mix.  Will be interesting to follow.

I really do not know just the article from SB Nation stated that A&M finished 2nd for him.

 

Here is the quote:  "Texas A&M finished second in the race for Mitchell's commitment last year."

 

But that is a far as my knowledge goes - Just hope he considers A&M as we can always use a good LB.

Your source may be better than mine...my memory!  In fact, we can probably say "is" not "may" ;)   I only followed his recruiting because of his younger brother, Mickey.  It was kind of known that they would be going to school together (very tight-knit family), and Mickey was one of the top 10 kids in the country in his class at that time in hoops (he was a sophomore I believe).  I do know, as a Longhorn, Texas was never really in the mix for Mike (I assume not for a lack of trying).  I also remember OU being in his top 5 (I think - also main school I didn't want getting him), and FSU being considered a front runner (that was while watching the ESPN show at that Nike camp) due to his family originally being from Florida. 

 

A&M should definitely be in the hunt.  Sumlin's going to need some help from Kennedy with Mickey to close the deal.  Before Mickey committed to tOSU to follow his brother, his other finalists were Duke, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, OU, and UT.  So we are kind of like A&M, we were at least in the hunt for Mickey, but not for Mikey.  For either of us to get the one, we need to convince the other (IMO - still think they'll end up together).  My fear is both will end up at OU. 

 

For what it's worth, for both of their sakes, I would much rather the Aggies land them than that place up North!

I think that if it comes down to a joint decision as to what school they will attend as brothers this could possibly hurt A&M chances due to the state of the current basketball team.  This could put Texas or Baylor more in the lead if they want to have little brother go to a better basketball school - hope they both choose A&M.

I hadn't thought about Baylor because they weren't previously in the mix.  PhatMack brings up a good point about proximity too.  Will be interesting to see if they are in the hunt.  Would make sense for them to be.

I guess it all depends on how close he wants to be to his dad and if the brothers want to go to the same school.

TCU- 1 hour
Baylor- 2 hours
College Station & Norman- 3 hours
Austin- 3:45 hours

Lets see:  Austin-College Station, Austin-College Station, Austin-College Station????  Even my Aggie Ex nephew (great kid, going to A&M did not in anyway make him a great kid.  He did get a great education there) chose Austin!!!!

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
