When you can make the claim that within your (new) conference the only two schools that have a better 2012 recruiting class than you are the two teams that won the last two national championships, its possible that you've done well in recruiting.
Kevin Sumlin and the Texas A&M Aggies have their signees list at 19, as Thomas Johnson finalized their recruiting class with a bang. Johnson was rated as the No. 4 overall wide receiver this year and chose the Aggies over Texas and TCU.
Here are the 19 commitments who have signed a letter of intent to the Aggies in 2012:
