2013 Texas Longhorns Recruiting Thread

Is Hill's recruitment pushing Swoopes away at all?

Sebastian Larue sounds off on the recruiting landscape:

Torrodney Prevot will be visiting A&M this weekend. The lone un-committed visitor for A&M.

Looks like A&M has 3 spots left in its class of 25 and the lone targets include Prevot, Hall and LaRue. If they don't work out, I'm not certain if A&M will try to flip a few other guys or wait until 2014 to sign a larger class again.

No. Swoopes is already enrolled.

Inside Texas saying Mack Brown, Stacy Searels and Bo Davis were at Waco High for a few hours today to see DT Andrew Billings. He'll be at Baylor this weekend for his last official visit.

Regarding Larue, many feel he is having trouble leaving close to home where his parents can attend the games. He still can take a couple visits but people think UCLA might be the leader in this recruitment now. Not sure anyone really knows what this kid is thinking. Hall got the full court press by Oregon and hopefully we know more about Prevot after this weekend but it should be interesting to watch if A&M can't get these guys.

I don't care what people say, I like the Aggie updates. Thanks.

Darrell Wyatt's flight to California arrived late so he will meet with JUCO WR Ronald Butler in the morning (24/7).

Fyi (Aggies), Derrick Griffin is visiting the Plains this weekend. Somehow I doubt Malzahn and Co can flip another, but who knows. Apparently he built a good relationship with AU QB commit Jeremy Johnson during the Army All-America game.

This according to J. Hokanson from Rivals.

Word is he wont qualify academically. If he does (this requires a miracle, apparently) and he flips to yall, he would be a huge get. That guy could have arguably been the best recruit in our class.

He won't qualify academically and we are on such a numbers crunch we told the kid we wouldn't be accepting his signature. If A&M swings and misses on these last few recruits then maybe they might be willing to take his signature in case he somehow miraculously qualifies. If you guys are telling him that you can get him in academically then that might be enough for him to flip to you guys. This kid is an absolute animal so I hope he doesn't get in anywhere but here.

Yeah, I've read that as well, although Hoke hasn't addressed it in his reporting

[DesignatedT]

and the Larue news becomes even stranger. Looks like he will officially be visiting Utah this weekend:

"@InsideTheUtes: HUGE update on 4 star WR Sebastian Larue at http://t.co/XNEwgNBE. Larue visits officially this weekend”

[DesignatedT]

Here's a picture of the A&M recruits at the All-American game and you can just see how much of a beast he is physically. (far right)

Auburn is also trying to flip Dominic Walker from Nebraska(which will probably happen, imo, considering that s bag Pellini was talking about Cam and Auburn a few days ago on an in-house visit and he's Tony Stevens good friend). If Griffin somehow miraculously ended up at Auburn it would far and away be the best WR class ever. May still be even without Griffin..

[DesignatedT]

I love Stevens as well. Are you confident in being able to hold onto him? I'd be wary regarding his commitment.

His film is silly. Very raw, but incredibly gifted. He'll gain some weight, too, which will make him even scarier

[symple19]

Yeah. He said he was completely done with the recruiting process. Dameyune Craig recruited him for Auburn and he was also the one who recruited him for FSU before he left for the Plains.

Didn't know that. A&M is still heavily recruiting Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield, a WR committ for FSU who is rumored to be a very close friend to Stevens. Have you heard anything about Auburn having interest in this kid?

Haven't heard that name before so I would say there's no interest. Looking at his profile, he's actually the type of guy that Malzahn needs to replace Onterrio McCalebb... Small and speedy with the ability to do work out of the backfield and return kicks.

Don't know if you have a rivals account, but I read an interview they did with him about his recent visit with Terry Price. It seemed to go quite well. Mentioned that he's definitely okay with going out of state

He's supposed to be making an official visit February 1st.

[DesignatedT]

I think A&M is in a great spot with Garrett and Whitley.

If A&M gets any commits on or after Junior Day it will probably be one of these two or Tank Davis.

[KTA]

I seriously love all this talk about a&m and Auburn in this Texas thread.
