ESPN.com Recruiting Nation poll on who lands DGB. Take it for what it's worth but found it amusing. When all is said and done I would be surprised if we landed him but hoping for the best.
Arky 45%
Mizz 20%
OU 16%
Alabama 10%
Texas 9%

5 star SF Devonta Pollard is here visiting UT today and will be at the Kansas game along with other 5 star Julius Randle and myself. Pollard is in the 2012 class while Randle is 2013. I saw someone on twitter say that Texas leads for Pollard but not with Randle, but I don't know how reliable it was.

According to somebody I know well and that knows personally, Thomas Johnson decommited to Texas because he was unhappy with Texas coaches continuing to recruit multiple wide receivers when he felt there was an understanding on how many players they were recruiting. He was obvioulsy fine with us and Cayleb Jones and coaches did let him know we were recruiting DGB. But when we got commitments from Kendall Sanders and told him WR was option, then Marcus Johnson, it pissed him off something fierce as he felt it violated the understanding coaches gave him. Really makes me question us recruiting Marcus Johnson as that appears to be straw that broke camel's back. Sanders was at least recruiting as athlete so may not have been issue, but then another commit. Can't blame the guy if that was perception he was being given.
Thomas Johnson is visiting A&M as we speak. Really hope the Ags can land this one but I'm still not feeling too optimistic about it.
Thats what you call being a lil , hes one of the top ten WR in the country and hes worried about a little bit of compe ion, if thats the case I'm fine with him decommiting.
I can believe that, and I also understand both parties position. I think Texas was just trying to assure the position because it's likely someone will be a bust. U always have to look out for the well being of the program over one recruit. But at the same time u have to be honest about what ur trying to do in recruiting to help establish trust between the coaches and recruits. Trust is the most important aspect of any relationship. It's hard to make a player commit to u for four years if hes questioning if he can trust u. Trust is apart of feeling comfortable and being comfortable at a university is usually what recruits list as most important.
The Ags need to land beef and talent for their front 7, everyone knows thay can put up points like they did this past year, but they are soft up the middle.
WTF!! Am I that biased to Texas that I think we have a much greater chance than what we actually have?? I was thinkn we would at least have a better chance than Alabama. it, we'll show them on NSD! I hope..... O_o
I think TJ is gonna follow Devante Harris and commit to A&M. I think these rumors of the street agent going around spooked them with Oregon. A&M is prolly one of few schools that he feels comfortable with being so late in the recruiting season after being committed to Texas for so long.
if you could play anywhere, wouldn't you want to play where coaches are being honest and direct with you? has nothing to do with being 'worried' about compe ion - that is another issue.
this is only one side of story so hard to gauge though so i'm not making assumptions.
Well, not all is peachy in College Station, I believe Trey Williams is visiting Arkansas this weekend, and then OSU the weekend after. Braylon Addison is also known as being a shaky commit.
What's the word on Cameron Ridley? We need help on the court for sure. If the players had to stay at least two years in college before the pro's then we would be some bad MFers but we get good talent then they bolt the following year. And if Cameron comes then u know that's what he'll do. That's why I can't really vibe college basketball. The teams change to often.
I hope Jake is offered and commits today! It's almost time to put this 2012 class behind us and look ahead. He'll be a great foundation. Anyone know how the visits are going right now in Austin by the way? I bet Mario will have LSU as his number 1 after his visit this weekend if he is the same impressionable kid. Smh
Hook Em 247 is reporting that He's been through various meetings and he and his family are said to be having a great time
Cool...Supposedly the coaches are still going full throttle for Torshiro Davis. Manny, Bo Davis and Oscar Giles did a in home visit recently before his official to LSU. I don't mind the push to the end at all but I've never felt that he would change his commitment at all. I remember his face in the pics posted of him on his visit to Texas and he looked very uninvolved. But that would be a pleasant surprise to get him, u never know. Recruit them to the end because like we saw with Cal. All it takes is a coach change or something of that nature and all of a sudden that number 2 on the list is bumped up to #1.
That's obvious and there are a couple guys out there that the Ags will snag in the next week or 2 to help shore it up but it's going to have to wait til 2013 to get some real players added to the team there.
Bralon is visiting Oregon and Trey Arkansas but I believe Trey cancelled his OSU visit.
Either way neither of them are leaving.
Oregon would worry me, thier is some shady going on over there. Im just waiting for the NCAA to drop the bomb on those ers.
Per Colin Blake's twitter he just decommited from the Ags, I wish they would have kept him since hes probably going to OU now.
Real talk...I was wondering what's taking the NCAA so long. Are they paying them off too?!
I thought he decommitted months ago. Guess I'm tripping but yeah I wouldn't mind being in the mix for him right now, seeing that we might fall short on a few guys come NSD. If u have scholarships vacant and quality talent to take em then why not?
It's been pretty obvious for quite some time now that Colin wasn't going to be joining the Ags. Landing Devante Harris certainly makes up for that though.
TCU would be my guess. He tweeted/facebook'ed his de-commitment as he was taking his visit to TCU. Says a lot, IMO.
We don't need another DB in this class. I think we should only take a DE, WR, or TE.
As for Cameron Ridley, the guy seems to really want to come here based on interviews and his twitter. Who knows if he will actually come though.
Michael Wilson decommitted from TAMU and committed to OK State. Haha. 'Tis the reason for the season.
