I was looking back on previous Junior Days recently and figured I'd post this before anyone gets down about a lack of early commitments this weekend. Granted these were Mack's evaluations and we all know he wasn't great at that, but look at all of the Junior Day commitments from 2011 and how it's worked out for Texas...ugh. Probably a good thing if you don't wrap up half your class in February:
QB, David Ash, Belton
RB, Joe Bergeron, North Mesquite
WR, Miles Onyegbule, Arlington
WR, Jaxon Shipley, Brownwood
TE, MJ McFarland, El Paso El Dorado
OL, Josh Cochran, Hallsville
OL, Taylor Doyle, Austin Lake Travis <------ offered with a broken leg
OL, Marcus Hutchins, DeSoto
DT, Desmond Jackson, Spring Westfield
LB, Chet Moss, Cedar Park
CB, Leroy Scott, South Houston
S, Sheroid Evans, Fort Bend Dulles
S, Mykkele Thompson, San Antonio Stevens
Yeah, I saw that. I saw an interview with him last night from Taylor Hamm, and he said he expected Texas to offer this saturday. He likes Oklahoma State, A&M and Baylor in that order. Wonder how much that changes if Texas offers. He also said that he has no intentions of playing LB. He only wants to play S.
Taylor Doyle...SMH
I wonder what Boyd and Strong talked about. An hour is a long time.
Read an article where he said OL Trevor Elbert is his best friend and he's waiting to see how A&M's safety position works out. They already have Dunning, Pryor and will continue to pursue S Deionte Thompson. He didn't sound comfortable with that situation, but Sumlin can sell water to a drowning man right now so we'll see how that goes. Said he wants to make a decision around the time spring ball ends.
I believe we read the same article. I don't know why I called it an interview. With Dunning (most likely a LB at the next level), Pryor and Thompson committed elsewhere, I would actually be perfectly fine with Texas ending up with McKinney and Elliott. Two guys with tremendous amount of upside.
LSU has offered another 8th grader; 2018 QB Zadock Dinkelmann from Somerset, TX.
He's a relative of the Detmers.
I would like to see S PJ Locke of Beaumont Central offered this weekend as well.

I actually thought he was more of a CB. But it looks like he's playing quiet a bit as a S as well. Definitely impressing tape! I really like that Strong is targeting guys with a lot of raw upside. He really trust his coaches to develop. I like that confidence!
Floss, I saw somewhere that OB reported that there is a buzz about Strong sending a message through the state this weekend. Any idea?
Was it a tweet from them? Or is it on the board?
Let me know and I'll try to find it.
A guy over at Shaggy posted this "OB Update on JR. Day:
"Id have my phone or computer at arms reach this weekend. Buzz that CS sends a big msg throughout the state.""
24/7 published a breakdown on who could potentially receive offers this weekend:
OL, Ronnie Major, Huntsville = 95%
WR, Ryan Newsome, Aledo = 95%
CB, Holton Hill, Houston Lamar = 75%
RB, Tristian Houston, Galena Park North Shore = 75%
LB/S, DeShon Elliott, Rockwall-Heath = 65%
WR, John Humphrey, League City Clear Falls = 55%
QB, Ryan Agnew, Southlake Carroll = 50%
ATH, Louis Brown, Burton = 50%
DE, Charles Omenihu, Rowlett = 35%
DE, Landis Durham, Plano East = 35%
S, PJ Locke, Beaumont Central = < 35%
CB, Keivon Ramsey, Converse Judson = < 35%
CB, Jordan Tolbert, Fort Bend Ridge Point = < 35%
That's just OB trying to keep/add subscriptions.
That post on Shaggy was made at midnight, so I'm guessing it was a tweet from OBs to get people to read their Junior Day breakdown. There was nothing in that report that referenced Strong doing something out of the ordinary. In fact, they mentioned the staff wouldn't be pushing hard for commitments as they'll be focusing on getting to know a lot of the in-state kids. Easy to forget this is the first time most of the prospects will be meeting the new Texas staff, including Strong.
Oh, so basically ThePop was right.. Thanks anyway!
MAX_olson: WR Kemah Siverand says he can’t make it to Texas junior day. Still could see as many as 15 ESPN 300 prospects in Austin tomorrow.
