When it comes to winning big at college football’s highest level, Jimbo Fisher is well aware of what it takes to get there — it all starts with recruiting.

Those that win on the recruiting trail win significantly more often on the gridiron in college football and that’s a message Fisher hit on during his first media availability of the spring.

The Texas A&M coach was discussing Justin Madubuike’s impressive numbers from the 2020 NFL Combine — the former Aggie defender measured in at 6-foot-3, 293-pounds and ran a 4.83 40-yard dash, completed 31 reps of the bench press and did the 3-cone drill in 7.37 seconds — and the evolution of big men in football over the years when he made the analogy of comparing recruiting to driving a Ferrari vs. a Pinto.

“You gotta recruit those guys, too,” Fisher said. “You can say it all you want, you can develop them to a certain point but you have got to recruit those types of guys that are capable of doing that.

“Like a car. You want a car that can drive fast. A Ferrari going to drive fast or is a Pinto going to drive faster? You can develop Pintos all you want but you have to develop good guys.”

Well said, Coach.
