COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - New Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin signed 19 players in his first recruiting class after being hired Dec. 10 to replace the fired Mike Sherman.
Sumlin retained 11 players the former staff recruited and added eight new recruits. He left some spaces open to add players after he evaluates his team and see where he needs more help.
He says recruiting for A&M was a very different experience than it was when he was coach at Houston. Some of the players he signed on Wednesday he says "threw our mail away or didn't return our calls" when he tried to recruit them while at Houston.
Sumlin addressed a need for depth on the defensive line with his change from the 3-4 scheme to the 4-3 by signing five defensive lineman.
