lol ya just wishful thinking
My guess is Cottrell will announce for UT tonight or early tomorrow. "Good news" is too mild for landing DGB.

I'm still of the opinion that nobody truly knows but also feel that it's down to Mizzou and Texas. I think Arkansas and OU are out at this point. I keep going back to this one quote from Inside Texas that pretty much sums it up as to how I think this whole thing is going down. I'm giving the slight lead to Mizzou hoping the kid will go with his gut:
"First, we (Texas) think we’re out in front but this is where it gets tricky. We discussed how the parents trust Mack and the Texas staff more than the other schools. We discussed how Sally Brown has endeared herself to Mrs. Beckham so we lead there. So in terms of the parents, we are the preferred school. The problem is you have a young man in high school with a girlfriend and tons of friends in the area so he’s having second thoughts about going so far from home. We think he’ll have the best chance for success at our school and the parents agree, but right now the young man is torn."
Good way to stir up your readership, though.
I used my 30 day free trial at a time that I thought some good stuff would come out lol.
Haha exactly my thoughts. Now if it said "earth shattering news", then we may be in business.
I started getting sucked into the Texas hype from reading from Texas sites, but remember JS and Cigar / Asset have the burnt orange glasses on. And they are reporting what DGB is telling Texas directly. I'm guessing DGB is giving all the schools strong feedback like that to be polite - as he comes across as a smart and respectful kid.
Even if he does strongly prefer Texas coaches, the deal breaker for me thinking Mizzou has huge lead is the girlfriend. For us it may seem foolish - but his girlfriend is probably his sanity at this point and young love is young love. , follow his twitter posts (@DorialGB5) and I think that speaks louder than everything. He is either a few hours drive away, or a plane ride away from the girlfriend.
Latest post from DGB (he must be sick of hearing it from everybody haha)-

Funny comment from Sporting News story just posted on DGB picking Mizzou rumor -

But coming off this weekend’s official visit to Missouri, it appeared that somebody told somebody that somebody heard that Green-Beckham loved the visit and was already on board with the Tigers. That’s about as “official” as the rumor was, yet it nearly went viral that Green-Beckham was heading to Missouri.
John Beckham, the receiver’s father and high school coach put the rumor to rest, telling one media outlet that nothing was decided yet.
Gerry just posted this at 247
Earlier today based on multiple sources it appeared that everything was trending the way of Missouri in the race for the five-star receiver.
I'm here to tell you right now, the Longhorns are absolutely still in this thing.
An unfortunate development of the internet age.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but Bryce Cottrell would be a good get. I watched his senior film on Rivals, and the kid can play.
GH followed up his "Good News Mysteriso" thread with a thread about Texas absolutely still being in it with DGB, and said the two threads were related. Fingers crossed.
ill make it rain with my vbookie if we get DGB
Bill how much in the know is Gerry?
I've also liked Gerry Hamilton's work, but not necessarily his ego. I've followed his work since the beginning. He is allegedly tight with Major. He is a really talented guy, who sometimes gets into some bad patterns. I will give him credit for calling out Justin Hopkins texting Cottrell while he was on an official visit to Texas. That was bull . I don't curse very often on here, but that was necessary.
To answer your question, I think Hamilton has the best sources on the Hook Em 247 staff. He is far and away 247 Sports' best reporter. There's a reason why he's writing so many national articles.
Per Hook Em 247 , Cottrell is in. Welcome to the 40 Acres Bryce.
Another good pickup
Hmmm. Ridgeway concerned about playing time and now they sign another DE.
Ridgeway looks like he can contribute as a freshman whereas Cottrell looks like he needs a redshirt year before receiving playing time.
Bryce looks like he could switch to LB.
And TAMU received a commitment from a DE yesterday. Does Polo effect Ridgeway?

Everyone knows we're incredibly thin at the position. He would undoubtedly be the best DL recruit we've landed in the past 4 years (its been that bad). Polo doesn't change that.
Yes Aggies can have it both ways.
Corey Thompson has decommitted from TAMU and committed to LSU. If that sounds familiar, it should.
FWIW, it's being reported that one has nothing to do with the other. Different players, different positions. Texas has been chasing a weakside DE in this class for a long time.

Mods on both Hook 'Em 24/7 and OrangeBloods have changed their tones from earlier in the day. Not sure what happened or what information they came upon, but the mood is a bit different.
Changed their tones to the effect that it's not looking bright for Texas? I have always thought that he would end up here. With the relationship we have had and the negative feelings towards Petrino and Arky, Missouri IMO just is not better to go to than Texas. I realize he wants to stay closer to home, but damn, Austin is a direct flight from Springfield. ish him the best and no hard feelings. He has been class act the whole time!
