2011 Texas Longhorn Recruiting

[CosmicCowboy]

I want this guy Seferian Jenkins, I don't know what it is but looking at his body...gets me excited!

Well...no Austin Seferian-Jenkins this weekend. He wasn't able to work out plans with his mother, but says he'll get to Austin on June 18th or the 25th. He talked to Coach Bruce Chambers and Mack Brown over the phone this week and here's what he had to say about the conversation:

“Coach Chambers talked to me about how he really wants me to get down here and how coach Brown is really excited to meet me. Then coach Brown got on phone and he remembered me from when I was a freshman and visited down there. He said he’s excited to see me again, show me the campus, show why Texas is the best football program in the country. There's a good chance if I get that offer from Texas I'll go ahead and commit."

**I went ahead and updated the list above for the mini-camp this weekend, but the only guy I don't have a confirmation for is DT Quincy Russell.

[TFloss32]

The mini-camp hasn't exactly gone as planned so far. No Austin Seferian-Jenkins, no Jermauria Rasco and no Josh Turner. ASJ couldn't work out flight arrangements, Rasco had a 7-on-7 event and Turner's mother got called into work at the last minute (she's a nurse apparently). I've heard Quincy Russell will be in attendance, though. Here are some additional 2012 prospects that will be at the camp:

QB, Connor Washington, Stephenville (6-2, 190)

OL, John Michael McGee, Texarkana Texas (6-3, 272)

Some great news amidst all of this crazy realignment talk...TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins has made his travel plans official and will be visiting Austin the weekend of August 6th-7th. He has booked his flight and will be joined by his mother and sister. This is a great time for him to be visiting as he will get to see a Longhorn practice and have the opportunity to talk to lots of current players.

Stud LB James Vaughters of Georgia committed to Stanford today. Too bad Texas decided to end their pursuit of him earlier in the year.

Big news! Horns steal the best player from Oklahoma two years in a row. CB Josh Turner of Oklahoma City Millwood became commitment #21 today.

Also, supposedly another DB offer went out after the second mini-camp to CB David Jenkins of Lewisville Hebron. His current leaders are Texas and LSU (he's a Louisiana native). It's kind of a tricky situation because many think it might be an offer with an incentive or there is a timeframe attached to it. Others think he doesn't have an offer at all. All I know is that his coach said he's got an offer (whatever that means). Hopefully this doesn't put CB Charles Jackson out of the picture because he wants to a Longhorn badly. He even showed up to both mini-camps the past two weekends. Texas better play the situation carefully as his offer list continues to grow. Florida offered last week and that tells you what kind of talent he has. I'd rather have Jackson than Jenkins personally.

CB, David Jenkins, Lewisville Hebron (6-1, 175)

Oh yeah

the talent of the defensive guys Texas is landing is unprecedented
it's like they are not happy with simply being up above it or bringing a new level of confidence and power now they're guarded by Satan and riding on Baphomet

scary

Doesn't matter what they do, nothings stopping the Saban dynasty

I'll mark that one down in the big book

It is almost as if this defensive staff has sold their souls. These kids are going to wreak havoc.

Speaking of defensive recruiting...it took an interesting turn last night when 2012 stud LB Derek David committed to Texas Tech. I'm really interested to see if this commitment sticks. He's a big-time target.

[TFloss32]

Some HUGE news to report...the Cibolo Steele vs. SA Madison game is officially set and scheduled for an ESPN broadcast. This is awesome for San Antonio HS football. Two future Longhorns on display? One can only hope. My dream scenario would be for these kids to commit to Texas together after the game.

I read that there's a lot of smoke about DT Quincy Russell making a commitment to the Horns some time this week. Watch out for that...

[TFloss32]

Well, it didn't take long. DT Quincy Russell of San Antonio Sam Houston became commitment #22 on Sunday night. Having him and Desmond Jackson in this class is one badass combo.

Dang, Texas will be done recruiting by the Fall when many schools are barely getting started. I wonder if this helps the recruitment for Aaron Green.

[Whisky Dog]

Texas has some serious D line badasses set up with the '10 and '11 classes - Jeffcoat, Bible, Dorsey, Jackson, Russell, etc.

Limit is 25, run in M. Brown or Green or both if lucky and possibly ASJ and call it a successful recruiting class.

[DMX7]

I think Brown is all but a lock. Green is probably 50/50.

Don't be surprised if they exceed 25. You've still got LB Anthony Wallace and DE Jermauria Rasco on the outside looking in.

You're correct, Brown is just a matter of time. I'll give Texas the slight edge over Nebraska with Aaron Green. I'm growing more and more optimistic as time goes on. Nebraska's switch to the Big 10 makes more of a difference than most think as he wouldn't play a game anywhere close to home in the foreseeable future. He's still got Malcolm Brown in his ear and now Quincy Russell will do a bit of his own recruiting.

I didn't know they had enough available schollys to go over 25, although Antwan Cobb left possibly due to drug related suspension issue.

[DMX7]

I think they also had a WR transfer.

[TFloss32]

I read that because this 2011 class is so talented and Texas is the leader for four or five uncommitted studs at this point (Brown, Green, Seferian-Jenkins, Rasco and maybe Wallace), Mack Brown is prepared to take the "motherload of all classes." They very well may not take over 25, but the numbers always seem to work out and there has been more attrition than most think or know about.

FB, Antwan Cobb= Retired (Knee Injuries)
WR, Philip Payne= Retired (Playing Time)
WR, Brandon Collins= Dismissed (Multiple Arrests)
WR, Dan Buckner= Transfer/Dismissed (Arrest and Multiple Disciplinary Issues)
CB, Ben Wells= Transfer (Playing Time)
CB, Marcus Davis= Transfer/Dismissed (DUI)
DT, Russell Carter= Transfer (Playing Time)

I've heard there could be two or three more guys off of the team before the first game against Rice. Right now I'm hearing DT Derek Johnson is having major grade issues and RB D.J. Monroe might be in the same boat. You also have to consider how talented the 2010 and 2011 classes are. There will be a handful of upperclassmen that will see the writing on the wall as they challenge for playing time. The fat always seems to trim itself.

[TFloss32]

For what it's worth, there's a lot of smoke about RB Malcolm Brown and TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins both pulling the trigger for Texas by the first week of August. Exciting stuff.

[TFloss32]

Here is an awesome breakdown of Texas' five remaining targets: LB Anthony Wallace, DE Jermauria Rasco, RB Aaron Green, TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins and RB Malcolm Brown. Lots of optimism in this article and this is a legit source. These guys know what they're talking about. I, personally, believe that Texas is the leader for all of these guys and wouldn't be surprised if Texas goes 5 for 5 and closes this class at 27.
