Missouri has officially lost three commitments (two Texans) since their decision to move to the SEC: OL Simon Goines, OL Evan Boehm and RB Jonathan Williams. What's worse is they've been placed in the SEC East. Not a great recruiting move for a program who relies heavily on Texas talent. DT Donald Hopkins of Lago Vista is on his way to decommitting as well:
“I think the move was good for Missouri, but I might have to reconsider my commitment since I’ve always wanted to play in the Big 12,” said Hopkins, whose only other Big 12 offers were from Baylor and Kansas. “I want to stay close to my family and friends.”
Per Hook 'Em 24/7, OL Donald Hawkins has chosen Florida over Georgia for his fifth official visit. No date has been scheduled for his trip to Gainesville, but he's set for UT on November 19th and Oklahoma State on December 3rd. He's already officially visited Kansas State and Kentucky.

Wow, A&M must love hearing something like that out of a kid's mouth.
WR Cayleb Jones had his all-american ceremony last night:
I can't find the exact quote from Mack Brown, but it's worth noting that he recently said the staff is NOT concerned about the numbers game right now when it comes to recruiting. Hook 'Em 24/7 has been saying they'll go after any recruit as long as they feel they can contribute or are a position of need. That's a good indication that the staff is expecting a decent amount of attrition and the 2012 class could grow to 24 or 25 if everything plays out in UT's favor. There is supposedly a lot of recruiting momentum right now in Texas' favor because of all the success the young players are having and the program is winning games despite being loaded with freshmen and sop res.
Some great news on OT Andrus Peat...a lot of us have been worried that UT has been slipping in this recruitment, but Peat talked to Stacy Searels yesterday and is in the process of setting up an official visit to Texas. He's much like other big-name recruits in the sense that UT wants him on campus for Kansas State weekend (Nov. 19th) or banquet weekend (Dec. 9th and 10th). He is also planning visits to Florida State and USC. He'll be in Palo Alto this weekend for Stanford/Oregon and he'll be in Lincoln on Thanksgiving weekend.
More proof that the staff is hitting recruiting hard right now and expecting attrition. Bo Davis has been in contact with JUCO DT Brandon Moore of East Mississippi CC (same school as DE Denico Autry). According to Moore, not only has he been offered by UT but he could also be visiting for Kansas State weekend. The Longhorns are in the mix with other schools such as Auburn, Miami and Texas A&M. I believe he has already visited College Station this year. Moore orginally signed with Alabama out of high school and was a freshman when they won the national le.

Forgot to mention above that Bo Davis recruited Moore for Alabama in 2009, so there is a history there that could work in Texas' favor. The kid does have some prior issues (not sure what specifically) so we'll see how far it goes.
Texas and UCLA have come to an agreement to play a future game in Jerry World and it's tentatively scheduled for September 13, 2014. It will be nationally televised.
Interesting news on the new DT. I agree, Texas seems serious about JUCO players. I would love for Texas to take Moore and Autry. Moore would definitely soften the blow of losing Randall.
I love the UCLA news. I could potentially go to 3 Texas games without leaving DFW in 2014.
Good news on Peat. I'm bit skeptical. It'll be interesting to read his quotes after the Stanford game. An Oregon win would probably help here.
Texas probably does need to go to 25. Trim the fat, and go get recruits that have undergone more thorough evaluations from much better evaluators. Attrition is an unpleasant aspect of big time college football, but at Texas it's often best for both parties to move on when a player transfers.
Where did you hear this? A&M is going to be mad since the scheduling conflict issue was brought up.

So I guess Texas is cancelling the Arkansas game? Or maybe it was a mutual decision to end that game?
Either way it's no surprise. Texas wants all the cupcake games they can get, they don't want to play Arky.
, it shouldn't matter to you who you schedule - any compe ive team you put on your schedule you lose against. so why not play better teams and lose to them? makes sense for you guys.
but that's not necessarily best route for OU or Texas, or any other team that plays in BCS games or competes on nat'l stage.
So you want all the cupcake games you can get.... that's what i said.
Never said there was something wrong with that.
If your theory was correct then we would have scheduled A&M.
Any truth to the rumor that Manny Diaz is going to interview for the Ole Miss job?
