Per OrangeBloods, OL Caleb Benenoch of Katy Seven Lakes will be attending the June 10th camp this weekend. However, the recent offer to Billings could have changed things with this recruitment.
I wanted to add that Applewhite and Diaz were his hosts and even had lunch with him. If this kid goes anywhere other than Texas, it won't be because the staff didn't try hard enough. It's a sure thing he's been told he has that unofficial offer.

Good article on S Erik Huhn from Barking Carnival:

Quotes from 2014 S Jamal Adams of Carrollton Hebron after Sunday's camp. He's a guy we can expect to be officially offered next February:
"I just went out there and gave it my all. The hard work and everything I put in really paid off," Adams said. "I felt like I gave really good effort on everything, never quit on any rep, went hard in everything I did."
"I think it's the hard work that I put in every day," he said when asked what is drawing college coaches to him. "I don't take a day off. I just try to get better, stay humble, stay hunger and try to be best in my class."
"The campus is really nice. I like the practice facilities but what really stood out was the coaches, how much love they show you," Adams said. "I really liked the DB coach. He's very energetic."
"Coach (Mack) Brown told me, said I could flow around and can play all of (the positions in the secondary). They said I remind them of Quentin Jammer," Adams said. "I can play corner or safety. Basically, I'll do whatever the coach asks me to do to help the team win."
"I'm very interested in Texas after the camp. I'm interested in Alabama. I like the way they put DBs in the NFL. I'm interested in Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida - I like all the SEC and the Big 12 schools."
"It's DBU (at Texas). They put DBs in the NFL. I just like how much love they show their players, how energetic they are, how good the coaches can be to the players," Adams said.
Great story on the recent hard times of CB Quentin Jammer:

WR Justin Blackmon pleads "not guilty" after blowing .24 during his DUI arrest:

Per 24/7, the decision has been made to hire team nutritionist. The staff feels it's necessary for the strength and conditioning program to take that next step and get the most out of Wylie's workouts. The change should take place in a few weeks.
Also from 24/7, OL/DL A'Shawn Robinson was the only commitment who was unable to attend the summer camp on Sunday. He had family plans.
Quotes from 2014 OL Cameron Robinson and 2014 WR Cameron Sims after their visit to Austin this weekend (24/7):
“They had real nice facilities,” Sims said. “It was a good visit. It was better than I thought it would be.”
“It was real nice,” Robinson said. “I enjoyed it a lot. It exceeded my expectations for what I thought it would be.”
“I went in wanting to develop a strong relationship with Coach Searels and I felt like I really got to know him,” Robinson said. “I feel like as we go forward we have a good relationship and I'm looking forward to getting to know him even better. Today was a good day.”
“I like Texas a little bit better than I did before,” Sims said. “I got a good vibe from being there.”
“They (Texas) were already in my top three,” Robinson said. “They're definitely staying there now.”
With the loss of OL Paden Kelley, a new name worth mentioning is OL Christian Daimler of Houston Stratford. He attended the summer camp this Sunday and could be a guy Searels continues to evaluate in the fall:
“He (Searels) was a great coach and real easy to work with,” Daimler said. “He was awesome.”
“We didn't talk a whole lot about it (a potential offer), but they said they'd be talking as a staff in the next few days and that they want me to stay in touch,” Daimler said. “I feel like I'm at a place with Texas where I can go on down the road and feel good about whatever happens.”
“I know they bring in a lot of great recruits and they're always competing for championships,” Daimler said. “I think anyone who gets an offer from Texas has to think it's a great opportunity.”
Quotes from OL/DL Jake Raulerson after Sunday's camp where he worked offense (24/7):
“We worked a lot of technique points,” Raulerson said. “It was good just to be out there learning with him (Searels). We didn't get to do as many 1-on-1s as I probably would have liked, but overall it was a great experience.”
“We (Raulerson and Kent Perkins) got to work together a lot – we were right next to each other and ran most of the drills together,” Raulerson said. “After working with him, I think he's going to be a great tackle. He really impressed me today.”
“We didn't really talk much about (Hall's recruitment), but I think he's going to be a great end for us,” Raulerson said. “He really competed well.”
Quotes from 2014 DE Solomon Thomas of Coppell who is another sure offer for next year (24/7):
"I had a great time (at the camp)," exclaimed Thomas. "It was really a lot of fun and I got to work with a great coaching staff. The camp was just really well run and organized, which is something that really stood out."
“We competed hard every drill,” Thomas said. “There was a lot of compe ion and plenty of good players out there. I feel like I did pretty good myself. I tried to give 100 percent on every single play.”
“They said I did great,” Thomas told Hookem.com. “They didn’t talk about an offer or anything like that, but said I did a good job.”
“I’ll be back the very first home game,” he said. “I’m real excited about it!”
DE Torrodney Prevot did NOT make the LSU camp this past weekend.
Forgot to say that if the Greenlea transfer rumors are legit, Benenoch's chances of receiving an offer are much better even though I think Searels would prefer to get a tackle (Benenoch is an interior guy).

Latest with DT Hardreck Walker of Spring Westfield after camping at Texas:
"I showed them I have pretty good hips, that I'm really good at opening and closing my hips," Walker said. "We did a lot of pass rush drills and I kind of showed them how good my hips were."
"I talked to them and they said they'll probably be at my games next year, take my first three games and evaluate them and then we'll go from there," Walker said.
"The highlights for me were the one on ones," Walker said. "I went again one of the best offensive linemen I've ever gone against today. Hands down he was the best offensive lineman I've ever seen. He went to Waco High School (Andrew Billings). He was just so strong, he's feet were so good. If he got his hands on you, there was nowhere you could go."
"They're (Texas) not too high on my list because they still haven't offered. If they offered, it would depend on how far into my decision I was," Walker said.
"I wanted to commit somewhere by the end of the summer, but it might not happen. I'm not sure," Walker said.
"Playing close to home is not really a factor. I'm cool with traveling out of the state. Playing time is kind of big, but the more I think about it, I might redshirt my freshman year for education purposes, get a jump on my schoolwork. So academics will be a big part."

Quotes from ATH Ricky Seals-Jones as he prepares for the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge:
"I guess if you see a guy that is 6-6 line up against you every time that can get off the line, can run, and can jump, it would get frustrating," he said. "You just get worn out with it. It can probably be intimidating."
"I am ready to show what I can do," he said. "It is an honor to be invited and I am ready to go out and go hard."
"I think it will be fun but the first thing on my mind is the compe ion. I want to be out there working and proving I earned my spot."
"It really was special to get asked to participate," he said. "When I heard about it I figured I would get invited and I was glad that I did."
"I know how hard I worked to get to the top spot. So now I have to go and defend that spot and work hard to stay there."
"Working hard paid off," he said. "But the work is never over. There is always someone out there that is hungry to take your spot and so you have to keep going out and showing where you belong."
"I didn't look too much at who will be at the camp, but I know that I have to work my game and let the chips fall where they may. I have to play hard each play and do what I am capable of doing."
"This is going to be getting everyone ready for college and I hope that my performance shows I am ready to take that step."
WR Jamar Gibson is no longer listed as a Texas A&M commitment.

I thought this was no longer accepted by the NCAA?? My understanding was that Boise St. got grandfathered in and was able to maintain it, but no other school were going to be allowed to go with anything except green!
I've heard this kid's name being talked about by some of my friends that are really connected to recruiting. They have been talking about him as if the horns would be regretting not offering this kid. The spoke highly of him on the defensive side though. If he commits, I wonder if he will be looked at on both ends of the ball.
