Kevin Sumlin didn’t have the best ending to the 2015 season, but 2016 brings new hope for better days.
National Signing Day is likely to be considered one of those good days, as the Aggies brought in a nice haul of talent in the 2016 class.
Sumlin met with the media to discuss that incoming group on Wednesday.
Here are some of the highlights:
Sumlin: Good day today for a lot of future Aggies who joined our team and university. A lot of happy young men. It's a very solid class.

Sumlin on 2016 class: solid class… filled a lot of needs…a lot should be said for guys who've been committed & didn't get lot of hoopla

Sumlin: Trevor [Knight] was the most important recruit. He's a man at this point…in Mays Business School. Been on big stages and won.

Sumlin on QB Nick Starkel: He has a tremendous upside. He’s a tall, rangy guy (6-3, 185) who’s going to need to put on a little weight.

Sumlin on Athlete Aaron Hansford: "Coach Mazzone gets dibs on [Aaron Hansford] first."

Sumlin: SEC is not only a talent league but a talent and depth league. Look at our team, with this group, we're able to redshirt guys.
