Where expectations are always high, with a win-now mentality, and what have you done for me lately, Texas A & M Aggies fans are expecting a big turnaround during the second year with Mike Sherman at the helm.
The Aggies will start spring ball with a 22nd-ranked recruiting class for the upcoming season, according to rivals.com.
Sherman and his staff are hinging improvement on this solid recruiting class, that it will improve on a 4-8 inaugural season that included 20-point losses to Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Oklahoma, not mention an embarrassing opening day debacle to Arkansas State.
Headlining the 2009 signing class is five-star recruit Chris Michael from West Brook High School in Beaumont, Texas.
Michaels is the third nationally ranked running back by rivals.com, and the 22nd overall ranked high school recruit on rivals.com top 100 national recruits.
He brings his 4.45 forty time to help fill in the gap that Mike Goodson left from his early departure to the NFL.
Advancement of the offensive and defensive front seven has to be the top concern this spring. Sherman was the Aggies' offensive line coach when the Aggies were atop the former Southwest Conference under R.C. Slocum.
Aggie fans are hoping that some sort of improvement will be made in Sherman’s second year as coach. The defense is in serious need of renovation after finishing 114th in total defense and allowing almost 220 yards per game last season.
When Ryan Tannehill was recruited by A&M he was promised that he would get a shot to be starting quarterback for the Aggies. This spring will bring the Aggies a fully fledged quarterback competition.
