I would remind everyone that Raulerson already has relationships with many of the state's top junior recruits from the camp circuit. Getting Raulerson early could give the Junior Days much needed momentum. The coaches can tell Jake who they want and he can start recruiting them, much like Brewer did with the 2013 class.
I don't fear the Florida connection at this point. There's too much smoke around Raulerson and Texas for Florida to be a true rival for his signature. I'm not sure if Texas can get Raulerson before the Junior Day, but he has gotten many of visits out of the way already.
I think TAMU would be the only "major" school to offer Raulerson and his brother Josh. Per Tipsy's interview with Jake, Josh has heard from and likes SMU. If SMU takes care of Josh, that should sever the package deal. I don't think Jake and Josh are package deals, but I'm sure it would be a load off to Jake to see his brother get a college scholarship.
The most interesting Raulerson connection to me is with Christian Morgan. Raulerson and Morgan are very tight. Morgan could finally be complete TE that Texas has been looking for. Size, blocking ability and hands. If Texas gets Morgan they can get 2013 PCA OLB / DE Mike Mitc . There's not much film on Mitc out there, but he might the most athletically gifted juniors in Texas. He has a 40'' vertical.
And oh yeah, Mike Mitc 's brother is 2015 PCA SF Mickey Mitc , widely regarded as a top 5 freshman basketball player in the country. Texas football and hoops could do themselves a big favor and tap the PCA pipeline.
Texas is looking really good with the 2013 class. The always cautious Hook Em 247 gave Texas a 60% shot of landing Manning at the first Junior Day. Out freaking standing.
