Awesome pickup. We really needed some good news.

First WR commitment in exactly 13 months.

Now if they could just find someone to throw the ball to him

If Coach Watson somehow wraps up both Gentry and Locksley, that's about as good of a first recruiting cycle as possible.

[TFloss32]

Per 24/7, DT Du'Vonta Lampkin of Cypress Falls will announce his commitment tomorrow afternoon at 3:30.

A question a bit off-topic.

Does anyone know if the Dave Campbell Texas Football Magazine is worth the money? I've thought about buying it, but I'm not sure I want to. I've ordered "Friday Night Football - Texas" by The Old Coach, and I don't know if the two are too much alike.

[DMX7]

Now if they could just find someone to throw the ball to him

Jerrod Heard will be that man... probably. He is honestly the best QB prospect we have had since VY. I say this because Colt wasn't expected to become as great as he was and Garret Gilbert was highly rated but my own evaluation of him wasn't in line with Rivals (although i like him personally because he's a chill dude).

That's not really that off topic. Isn't this magazine in like every Barnes & Noble and most H-E-Bs? Just browse through it there to see if it's worth buying.

Worth the price? It's a magazine, not a car.

[Bloeddyr10]

Worth the price? It's a magazine, not a car.

Wrong choice of words. My bad. I live in Denmark, so a $10 magazine can easily cost $80-90 with shipping and taxes and so on. I've already ordered Friday Night Football, so I'm not looking to pay $160-180 for two magazines with the same content.

DMX7, I would've just brought it if I lived in the US. But I don't, so I can't really browse through it. I've managed to find some of Lindyssports magazines in Germany, but that's the closest I've been to actually holding a magazine.

Probably cheaper for one of us to pick it up for you and ship it, right?

Those prices are insane.

[Bloeddyr10]

A few notes from 24/7 today.

- LB Anthony Wheeler will officially visit Texas during the season. He doesn't know which game yet. He says he keeps contact with the coaches once every other week.

- 2016 OT Zach Shackelford of Belton is a guy that might receive an offer down the stretch. Even though he is an OT he is ready to play at any spot on the line, and he believes that he will be a guard in college.

“Coach Wick said I need to grow and inch and he will offer me. But he also said that since I’m so nasty and aggressive that he might just offer me anyways,” Shackelford said.

“It was good. I put some people in the dirt. Some four and five-star guys,” he said.

Yeah, but in return we get free health care and free education, so I can live with it.

I had a friend who lived in Texas last year (he went to TCU), he probably saved me $1000 on sneakers that semester.

[Blake]

493477653358600192

I'm not sure if that's meant to be impressive or if it shows that Charlie still has a lot of work to do in Texas.

[ThePop]

Obviously he does have a lot of work to do in Texas. You don't just come into a big football state and out recruit coaches who have built relationships for decades.

[ThePop]

Jerrod Heard will be that man... probably. He is honestly the best QB prospect we have had since VY. I say this because Colt wasn't expected to become as great as he was and Garret Gilbert was highly rated but my own evaluation of him wasn't in line with Rivals (although i like him personally because he's a chill dude).

You would think one of Heard, Gentry, or Locksley will turn out to be pretty decent. I think Swoopes is a lost cause; He is someone you take when you're loaded at QB and have the opportunity to let him develop for 3 years. He already lost that ability with his lack of redshirt.

[TFloss32]

2016 QB Shea Patterson of Shreveport, LA has de-committed from Arizona.

[TFloss32]

Quotes from an anonymous source after OL Connor Williams visited Texas on Friday (24/7):

“He was talking about committing to us,” said one source. “It really wouldn’t surprise me if he did soon. I know he wanted to sit down and think about things, but he said he was pretty much blown away by it all and that he could see himself playing in Austin for the next four years.”

“I’m saying the visit did a lot of good for Texas,” the source added. “It shot them right up to the top. I really think it could happen at any time.”

[TFloss32]

Quote from LB Malik Jefferson (24/7):

“I’m going to be heading back down there (Austin) real soon,” said Jefferson. “I’m not taking an official visit or anything since they’re so close, but I am actually going to be going back down to watch their first home game of the season when they play against North Texas.”

That was an extremely quick top 3 addition. Yeah, out of state kids still hold the Longhorns in high regards for those that thought otherwise.

[ThePop]

I feel like everytime an OOS player is offered they respond very positively and call Texas one of their favorites, but they never end up visiting and go elsewhere.

In other words, wake me up when one of them visits.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. 2014 class gained commitments from Alex Anderson & Jermaine Roberts (New Orleans), Andrew Beck (Tampa, FL), Poona Ford (South Carolina) & Chris Nelson (Lakeland, FL)

All certainly visited and eventually committed. It wasn't on a whim.

Technically no one has been kicked off the team yet. The players rumored to be kicked off were supposed to meet with Charlie yesterday but we haven't heard anything.

Only the rapists have been suspended so far.

-S Josh Turner was clean, but was supposedly caught stealing. No details on what he stole.

-RB Daje Johnson, OL Kennedy Estelle and OL Desmond Harrison are basically on their last chances.

-the meetings that took place yesterday for the dismissed players was to give them their official release from the university. They're done.

Sad to see that Turner is out. I really liked what I saw in the Spring Game for him and had high hopes for him this season.

It is tough to see Daje return for his senior season if he manages to play his entire junior season.

Lol what? A&M pulled in the 4th rated recruiting class in the country last year and currently hold the #2 class for 2015 only behind Alabama.

For now.

You and the rest of the country are light years behind Alabama and look for USC and UCLA to both pass you as their respective classes are looking to be on the same level as Alabama. Texas will take somewhere between 25-30 recruits with my guess being they will have about 15 4-star kids in that group. That should put them somewhere in the top 6 to 10 range.

[TFloss32]

OL Conner Dyer of Mesquite Horn has committed to Texas Tech.

[TFloss32]

I had been wondering about this.

Per 24/7, if RB Kevin Shorter does qualify for UT, his medical redshirt status will not count against the final roster numbers. Some thought that he might count for his freshman year only, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

24/7 says that they have spoken with several sources around the team, and none of them mentioned stealing regarding Josh Turner. They believe it was an internet rumor that blew up. The Statesman reports that one of the reasons was an altercation with Pat Moorer, which is pretty brave.

2016 CB Jared Mayden of Sachse with a real shocker. Texas did NOT make his top 10. His brother attends Rice, so not a real surprise that they are there.
494649504025411587

[Bloeddyr10]

A quote from Jared Mayden himself regarding Texas, from 24/7.

"Texas was my first offer, and I have a lot of respect for the program, but the only person still with the program who I really have a relationship with is grad assistant Ephraim Banda. I've been down to Austin several times since the new staff took over, but I just really don't have the bond or closeness with the new staff that I'm looking for in a potential future home."

If Banda is the lone person that Mayden has a relationship with, I think Strong have messed this one up. A lot can change before Signing Day 2016, but Mayden wants to make his commitment prior to his senior year and then shut things down. I really hope that Strong/Bedford/Vaughn follows up an their initial interest in Trayvon Mullen.

[ThePop]

Charlie (obviously) has a lot to learn about recruiting this state. He gets a pass right now but that's not acceptable in a year or two.

[ThePop]

QB Deondre Francois is committing today. You've probably never heard of him but he's down to Florida State (likely choice), Auburn, and Oregon. If he commits to FSU that may cause Locksley to commit to Texas; Florida State already has a QB committed so Locksley wouldn't want to be the 3rd.

I'm sure one will decommit before signing day. Some school will successfully recruit negatively against that 3 QB class situation.

A guy to remember is QB Matthew Merrick of Cistercian Prep. He was impressive at the QB camp earlier this year and at the Under the Lights camp in July. He has offers from Colgate, Colorado State and Nevada as of now. He would've had a lot more if he had changed his focus towards football earlier (he is/was a part of the AAU team Texas Titans (same as SoSo Jamabo)). I really like his tape.

http://247sports.com/Player/Matthew-Merrick-58872

http://www.hudl.com/athlete/521042/matthew-merrick

Per Horns Digest, Merrick was offered a spot as a Walk-On during the UTL camp, an offer "he would happily accept" if he didn't receive an offer from Texas. He also says an offer from Texas would put them above the rest, the Walk-On offer put them in category with the rest. His father played at Virginia, so they are a team he likes as well.

A few notes from Jeff Howe on Last night's practice:

I love Heard's presence. I like what I saw from Heard more than what I saw from Swoopes in the same amount of time.

Armanti Foreman and Duke Catalon are two guys on the offensive side of the football that have shown special ability.

The staff should consider moving Andrew Beck to TE

Poona Ford and Chris Nelson looks the part.

John Booney worked at CB, Jake McMillon at DE. There were no position changes at the skill positions. Jason hall worked at FS and Edwin freeman worked at SS. (Later Jeff Howe twitted about how great Jason Hall looked and how he should have been ranked much higher than he was coming out of high school)

The following veteran worked out tonight: Desmond Harrison, Josh Turner, Camhron Hughes, Curtis Riser, Paul Boyett, and Marcus Hutchins.

Newsome is from Aledo as is our RB Johnathan Gray so Texas has a connection to him that little if no other schools can match. Not saying this is a deciding factor but may help more than some may imagine.

Interesting notes on CB Kris Boyd whom is a huge priority for the Longhorns... this is Ag/Texas battle all the way and looks to be a toss up. Boyd was on commit watch this weekend when he visited college station.

Taylor Hamm reported A&M coaches are putting pressure on Boyd saying he doesn't have unlimited time to commit. An interesting note is that CB Roney Elam is expected to commit to A&M next Friday on his commitment date. Sheffield is also regarded an A&M lean so Ags have room to use that as leverage to put pressure on Boyd. Boyd is a huge priority for them but they have solid backup plan.

Justin Wells over at Inside Texas had a great scoop today saying that Boyd watched the A&M practices and was taken back by lack of intensity on defense. Apparently the offense was rolling over the D and it was a bit alarming.

Seems like Boyd really likes A&M and is tight with many of the Aggie commits. However, this appears to be a toss up at this point due to concerns over their defense.
