@PjLocke4: Just received an Offer from #TEXAS #Longhorns
Looks like Texas still in search for a DB after losing Jamile.
Ryan Newsome tweeted a hash tag of #NSD2015 meaning National Signing Day, it's since been deleted. Signing day surprise?
I wonder if Strong would've offered him if Elliott hadn't committed so quickly.Quote:

OrangeBloods saying S PJ Locke and his family are "keeping an open mind" with the UT offer.
Inside Texas mentioned he was being coy today when talking about Texas still pursuing him.Quote:

Can't help myself UT fans.
Petey helped us at the Rose Bowl.
Petey gave NE a Super Bowl.
Nice this happens to such an honorable fella.
Inside Texas saying a name still on the table for UT is TE Jess Trussell of Arlington Martin.
They mentioned he's been in contact with the staff the past few days.

Updates on personnel from HD Stock report:
Soso - Longhorns still feel good about their chances, but it looks like a coin flip between UT and UCLA
Mack - He could go to any of UT, TCU, A&M but Texas feels good about their chances
Locksley - Hard to imagine him not picking UT
Reed - Grade issues but still an option
Baker - UT made up a lot of ground, so they have a chance.
Warren - Trending Texas, and they feel good about it
Brossette - Looks like LSU hangs on
Ketchum - Keep an eye on this one
Newsome - The door is not shut yet and he could end up at Texas
Locke - Going to be tough for UT to sway him with 3 days to go but he's a longtime UT fan so it's possible
I went to Martin. We fucking sucked lol
@SBN_Wescott: Hardly a shocking development here, but I'm told that Texas LB Malik Jefferson is tearing it up in team workouts. Dude's a freak. #longhorns
Instant impact. Can't wait see his debut against the Irish.

From reading the 247 chat:
-Jeff says Mack should start contacting coaches within 24 hours or so about his decision
-All the mods feel like we get McGuire but not Lodge. Jeff even said that if McGuire announced before signing day it wouldn't affect Lodge.
-Mods don't think we take Redwine and Jeff has Baker leaning to Georgia "unless we make a strong push here late". Bobby thinks we get him.
-Newsome is simply a matter of if the staff wants to pursue him.
-Jeff guesses our next 2016 commit is FW All Saints DT Mike Williams
-Bobby says our best shot with one of the 2016 top 3 safeties is Jones
-Bobby thinks we sit in a great position for Locksley, Warren and Baker still likes TCU for Mack. Soso is the toughest to read. Seems most confident about Warren, which I guess is semi-interesting but Bobby has been confident about him throughout the whole year.
-Jeff thinks Catalon gets the most snaps behind Gray next year as of right now. I know he said on a podcast he was the best player on scout team this past year so it seems to go with that.
More highlights from the Higdon chat:
- Baker: The staff would take Baker in a heart beat; kid is crazy good! Baker is absolutely still an option!
- Davis: Solid at this time
- Class Size: Still shooting for 25, but could be under playing the law of averages
- In addition to Jason's big 4, two additional NLIs were mailed out: Jason indicated he is researching, but needs some time before he can expand on this.
- Connor Brewer: In Jason's opinion, the staff isn't very interested in bringing him back.
- Warren & Mack: Jason feels strongest about them as of now.
- Dead Period has begun
- Gilbert gets a ring!
- Natural NSD Behavior: Could be a couple of names pop up late!
- Focus is...: Mack, Soso, Warren, and Kai...
- Listing Names: Could see movement in the next 48-hours, but Jason is not going to be listing names at this time
- Grad transfer / Juco options at QB will be addressed post NSD
- Strong wants to get his guys in as quickly as possible. He won't reach, but he will do all he can to get to 25 on NSD. So no "saving spots" for 2016.
- Warren Higdon will speak to him tonight or Monday possibly, regarding the Washington visit and any new developments.
- Some QBs (to remain nameless) have reached out to Texas since the Gentry flip
- JUCO WR Dominique Reed would need 3 A's and 2 B's to quality
- OL/DL late adds: Jason does not think so at this time!
- Soso's Brother: Jason is still trying to get all the concrete facts on this situation. Could be a factor pulling Soso towards UCLA.
- Burt & Major: all reports are indicating their visits went great, both have left campus
- In Home's: Strong made visits with every current or former verbal
PJ Locke recently tweeted:
@PjLocke4: In case yall didn't know... I'm 5'11 almost 6'0 200+ lbs
I know there were questions and concerns about his size.
Ketchum tweeted "decisions...decisions" this morning.Quote:

I am guessing you are referring to jw ketchum, I had no idea UT was an option for him?Quote:

Alabama just released Dee Liner (DL) from his scholarship.
No. 4 defensive tackle in the nation in 2013, according to 247 composite rankings. Almost certainly not going to happen, but DL transfers don't come around too often—much less ones of his pedigree. He and Coach Rumph should have some type of relationship from time at Alabama, I suppose, so it makes it interesting. Would have two years of eligibility.
Rivals Profile
Texas has offered 2016 RB Lil'Jordan Humphrey of Southlake Carroll, per his own Twitter.

With these kids changing their minds almost daily 2016 offers seem kind of pointless.
I don't see any way he stays at RB being 6'5".Quote:

From Florida State's 24/7 site on QB Kai Locksley:
Explanation: Confidence has continued to trend up for Texas since his official visit. Locksley respects both head coaches involved in his decision and thinks highly of Jimbo Fisher as a quarterback developer, but the opportunity with the Longhorns is far more attainable than with the Seminoles. I think it is simply a smart business decision on his part since he wants to remain at quarterback.
WR AD Miller of Dallas Bishop Dunne has committed to Oklahoma:
