To follow up on the conversation from last week, Inside Texas now has DE K'Lavon Chaisson at 70% to UT.

Their LSU source is no longer confident.

Crap.

Not hapenning! He's a longhorn. ��

[Hook Em 88]

Anybody know where the beef between Chaisson and Oklahoma came from? He and OU committ Robert Barnes we're going at it on Twitter about something and now he's been exchanging back and forth with many Sooners players.

DE Ryan Johnson of Mobile, AL commits to Stanford.

Commitment Spotlight: Samuel Cosmi (By Daniel Seahorn)

Roach (HornSports)

My crystal ball picks are for Texas on all 3.

Pouncey - I couldn't quite believe it when things started trending for Texas, but it looks like the stars will align on both the Longhorn and Hurricane sides.

Chaisson - This one is all over the map. Sources still think it's Texas, and I even heard from someone who was on the Florida visit with Chaisson who thinks the same. Someone who spoke with him this weekend told me he's not decided on anyone as of yet.

Zabie - I've heard UCLA poses a real threat, but staying close to home and playing with your best friend is tough to turn down.

Graham flips?

Not happening.

Its a ceremony that the school sets up for their athletes. There will probably be athletes from all kinds of sports. Its actually an awesome ceremony where the school celebrates their student athletes and a proud moment for families, athletes, coaches, teachers, and faculty. I don't see it as a "me" ceremony.

FWIW, Burton of 24/7 expects Texas to land all of Chaisson, Pouncey and Zabie tomorrow.

[shyne]

Shea Dixon of LSU 247 site is still predicting LSU as of an hour ago, said he feels confident after talking with source tonight. Someone is getting played both sites believe he's theirs.

I don't have a good feeling about tomarrow.

I don't have a good feeling about tomarrow.

It is what it is. I'm looking forward to next season and the resulting class in 2018. Thursday can't get here fast enough for me. I gave up on a top class in 2017 when UT lost to Kansas.

2018 RB Keaontay Ingram (Carthage)

Are all the kids getting the same ceremony?

How cool would it be to see this kind of ceremony for a kid picking an academic scholarship offer between Harvard or MIT

[TheMex]

Crystal ball dropping for Chaisson to LSU. Feels like game over.

Higdon's predictions:
zabie to ucla
Chaisson to texas

Hearing that JUCO DT Murchison's offer was pulled by UGA. Herman seemed to really want him. Don't know if he'll end up at Texas or Ole Miss now, if either. Not sure of Ole miss' numbers but it seems like we'll definitely have room if he's still wanted.

FWIW, the Chipster did and is still saying he has.

[Vito Corleone]

I think all these 9.95 guys are full of BS. Especially right now since Herman has taken over and cleaned house, there are few if any true inside guys to get information from.

[Vito Corleone]

BTW, I'm sick of hearing about how important academics is to these guys and then they go to a football factory.

Chaisson's talk about academics was humorous at best, kid will probably major in PE, but it won't be Petroleum Engineering.

Seriously, don't embarrass yourselves, by talking big and then going to a school that is on the academic level of a community college.

Yes sir. Most of these folks going down the Shaq General Studies Major route.

[TheMex]

Chaisson was all about academics and he can't spell two words right on Twitter. Academically, I think that he made the best decision by not coming to Texas.

I think that when some kids speak about academics they mean a school with high academic prestige, but most kids just mean a school that has their major and has the most academic "support" to guarantee they'll graduate. I think Chaisson falls under the academic support group.

We took a major shunning this year.


The RB we got from Georgia by default might be helpful.
Thank God we don't get ranked on our recruiting.

We better turn this around on the field. I'm still worried about the D. When I see Bonney starting at corner... we lack basic speed there. And I hope Brandon Jones steps up at safety. Offensive line looks pretty good although they did not have to hold blocks very long last year in the passing game. And no Foreman running...

Lets get this done. I'm gonna try and keep in mind that many of the mental errors might be vanquished and we might have a real FG kicker.

[yavozerb]

Jim Harbaugh's transition class was ranked 51
Chip Kelly's transition class was ranked 34

If I remember right Mack Brown's transition class was ranked about 24.

It's not a big deal, a big reason for our low ranked class is the recruiting philosophy of Charlie Strong. It pretty much ensured Texas new coaches would be behind the 8-ball when they got here.

2018 is Herman's full recruiting cycle, let's see what he does with a full cycle before we start spouting doom and gloom.
