Decision coming "very soon."

Update on S Zelus Hicks of Carrollton, GA since he's reclassified to 2025...

OTF mentioned he's been on trips to Georgia Tech and Tennessee the past two weekends.

He will be at Florida this weekend, and then he'll take his official visit to Texas for the Kentucky game.

Texas will be his last visit, and then he'll sign in December.

Hamilton at OTF claims that Florida is not a threat here, and doesn't agree with any info saying they are.

If any team is a threat, it would be Miami because they won't give up until he signs.

And they shouldn't flip him unless he's offered a "massive/can't turn down" NIL package.

Quotes from Littleton after committing to Texas (On3):

“I committed to Texas and I made the final decision last night,” Littleton told On3. “I chose Texas because of their stability right now along with their culture. “Their defensive scheme makes them a great fit for me too. I think over the last four years, they’ve only continued to grow and they continue to bring in great players. I feel like I could be developed there as well.”

“It was nice in Austin,” Littleton told On3. “I’ve never been there before, so I didn’t exactly know how it would be. I didn’t realize that the facility was in the downtown area. The culture was good. It was nice to get around some of the current players and hear their views on the program."

“Some highlights were taking part in the player meetings, talking with some of the players, being at the game, and going to dinner with my family and staff.”

“They have a plan for me. They think I fit their defensive scheme and can be a ball player in the secondary. Texas has been recruiting me heavy since they offered and the reasons Texas is a contender for me and got me on that visit was because of the defensive scheme and success of the program.”

There was another before this one recently.

I don't really like posting about those, but figured y'all may want to speculate for fun.

Hamilton confirmed the silent commitment from yesterday was Littleton.

IT reporting this evening that Texas has been relentless in their efforts to get DB Kade Phillips of Fort Bend Hightower back in the class.

They have invited him to multiple games, and sent him in-depth presentations about how he would fit in the program.

He says he's firm in his commitment to LSU, however.

Quotes from LB target Kellen Wiley, Jr. of Seffner, FL after his visit to Texas (IT):

“It was surreal,” Wiley said. “All in all, it went great. They really impressed me. Really met expectations. When we got there, we went straight into meetings. We got to see how the coaches and players interact, how they watched film together. That was a really big part because I’ve never experienced that."

“They play a lot of freshmen,” Wiley said. “They have a freshman they called Hurricane (Tyanthony Smith) that had a one-handed pick. That really stood out to me that they play so many freshmen. Watching the Undertaker, they had me interacting with him. That was a big part of it as well.”

“The players were telling me how Coach Sark tells the truth,” said Wiley. “Then coach (Johnny) Nansen and coach PK (Pete Kwiatkowski), they are really great people. My family and I had a chance to sit down with a couple players. CJ Baxter, David (Gbenda), Mo (Morice Blackwell).”

“Texas kind of came on late, but after this visit, they’ve climbed into my top 5,” said Wiley.

[TFloss32]

247 had an article with Ffrench saying that he is locked into Texas after his Florida visit. These are HS kids so they can change their mind in a heartbeat.

Here is what WR Jaime Ffrench told Florida's 247 site today:

"I'm locked with Texas," he said. "I really like Texas. I'm just re-checking things with the local schools. I feel like it's a need for sure."

"I'd say I'm locked right now with Texas," he said. "Just going to re-evaluate things with my family. As of right now I'm locked with my family and Texas."

https://247sports.com/Player/jaime-ffrench-46117166/

Florida's On3 site had a small note on DT Joseph Mbatchou of Loganville, GA.

IT had a brief note on WR Jaime Ffrench this morning saying he talked to Coach Jackson for over an hour after his Florida visit.

They believe his heart is with Texas, but the staff has a fight on its hands in these next two weeks leading up to the early signing period.

https://247sports.com/Player/jaime-ffrench-46117166/

[TFloss32]

Nahlin at IT on TE Nick Townsend of Spring Dekaney...

"I just had a call on TE commit NickTownsend. A&M is definitely being aggressive but I don't see it amounting to anything. He loves the offense and loves Jeff Banks. He'll be in College Station again for the Texas game but in my opinion that's to watch Texas."

https://247sports.com/player/nick-townsend-46138509/

[TFloss32]

For some good news, IT said there are "a couple of big RSVPs" already for the Kentucky game next weekend, but they have to keep it quiet for now.

They followed up and said they're sitting on four names currently, and there should be more they're unaware of.

[TFloss32]

I'm not sure who reported these first, but TE Nick Townsend visited A&M yesterday and DT Myron Charles did end up making it to Gainesville.

https://247sports.com/player/nick-townsend-46138509/

https://247sports.com/player/myron-charles-46136050/

IT's Texas sources are confident that Charles will stay in the class.

Florida is using former Texas commitment, DT D'antre Robinson, to help with their efforts.

[TFloss32]

Per IT, the staff would like to add another CB commitment to the '25 class.

[TFloss32]

DT Zion Williams of Lufkin had a "strong conversation" with Texas last night, according to IT.

Coach Baker's consistency, a shot at early playing time and LSU's recent woes are helping Texas' case right now.

According to IT, LB offer Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng of IMG Academy is still scheduled to officially visit Texas next weekend.

He is considered a Michigan lean currently.

Notre Dame is out.

[TFloss32]

OTF saying Texas is "surging" with LB Kellen Wiley, Jr. of Seffner, FL.

Also, things are "trending in a very favorable way" and the entire family is "excited about Texas."

He remains scheduled to officially visit Miami this weekend, but OTF has him at 75% to be a Longhorn currently.

OTF saying they're close to adding a "key visitor" to this weekend's list.

However, they acknowledge this prospect should be considered a "very long shot."

[TFloss32]

OTF reporting DT Zion Williams of Lufkin is now a possibility to officially visit Texas this weekend.

He hasn't been on campus since the spring since he chose to skip a summer official visit to Austin before committing to LSU.

They didn't talk about Bo Davis in this particular update, but a "huge hurdle" to overcome for the staff is his girlfriend attending LSU and he's "very, very close" to her family in Lufkin.

A bit of an obvious statement, but Hamilton at OTF says pay attention to what WR Jaime Ffrench does this weekend.

If he heads to Gainesville for a second weekend in a row, that'd be an ominous development for Texas.

On DT Myron Charles of Port Charlotte, FL...

Hamilton at OTF says he feels good there even after his visit to Florida this past weekend.

https://247sports.com/player/myron-charles-46136050/

He posted the following this afternoon:

"The Florida Gators are making a major run at 4-star++ defensive lineman and Texas commitment Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High). OnTexasFootball has been told that Texas has felt pretty good about conversations since the 6-4.5, 310-pounder made a visit to Florida for the LSU game over the weekend. With that said, there is also some confidence on the Florida front. The Gators are working to get Charles back on campus this weekend for the Ole Miss game, and attempting to pressure Charles to open up his recruitment early this week. Texas and Florida duking it out for one of the nations top defensive lineman."

[TFloss32]

Is there a scenario where Texas and Texas A&M could play a rematch in the SEC title game?

Maybe someone else has seen that possibility as things stand, but I haven't.

Assuming A&M beats Auburn and Texas defeats Kentucky, the winner next weekend will be in the SEC game against Alabama, Georgia or Tennessee.

A loss for Texas should see them remaining in the playoff picture, but A&M loses and they're out.

If you've never seen all of the games Texas has played and just go off by ESPN you'd think they were utter trash and have 5 losses on the season. I just really think all of this is faux outrage per usual by ESPN with anything they do when it comes to rankings.

I've seen guys like McElroy and Pate mention recently they believe a loss to A&M should eliminate Texas.

I can go through many historical comparisons as to why I don't think that's the case and that argument collapses on itself.

However, I think it's funny they're talking about that in the same breath as a one-loss Boise State getting a first round bye.

Yea IDK what is Greg's deal with Texas this year, he has had such a hard-on for hating them this season. If that ESPN panel want to complain about weak schedule Texas has then call out SEC commish, plus their out of conference games are always schedule years prior. They didn't know Michigan was gonna have a collapse when they put them on their schedule. Also I do agree their argument about them playing nobody collapses on itself especially because they keep saying that Georgia's best win is against Texas.... But how could that be their best win if Texas hasn't played anyone???? Didn't Bama lose to Vandy? Didn't Tenn lose to Arkansas? For some reason Texas is just their punching bag this year for whatever reason.

He knows when the scheduling was done. So he calls out the commissioner for the same reason lots of ESPN analysts spout off. For the spectacle. Draw ratings. Imo this has always been a part of our “news” culture. But now the news is available to everyone. And when it creeps into subjects which are not entertainment but valuable for reasoning and real analysis of critical situations, it’s dangerous to lie and be purposely unreasonable.

“They’ve (Texas) been loyal to me since they offered me,” Charles said. “The connection there, the communication has been huge. They have a great D-Line staff and they’ve been playing outstanding overall. Just a dominant team and that’s the type of team you want to play for.”

“Their D-line staff (is the best thing about Texas),” said Charles.

That is confusing to me. Does that mean Burton thinks Texas is going grab some elite HS kids and some current players will portal? Or does it mean Texas is prepared to grab players from the portal because they're not getting who they want? Asking for a friend.

Im not sure how many LBs we wanted to take, but Wiley makes up for a whole lot imo.
He has some extraordinary tape indicating he came on in a huge way in his senior season.
I think we got two extraordinary LBs now. This is definitely a kid who wont show as well in the rankings because of the junior tape.
6 4" 225 and the guy can run and crush. When he gets the right diet and weight room, possible freak.

The news that IT was hinting at last night had to do with an NIL fundraising event.

Here's what they had to say about it this morning:

"Texas was pretty strategic about the evening. Word from this event is it went well with a few generous pledges being made. However, we won’t know how successful it was until the whales weigh in. How these things often go, regardless of school, is the school gets what it can from big donors and then the whales make up for the balance. If Texas hit its mark, watch out. But remember what I also said, retention is going to be a big storyline this offseason. Texas has guys that are balling out with remaining eligibility. That means schools are circling."
