I'm counting on Wednesday morning and we'll have to wait and see which school receives the fax.

Inside Texas broke this one, 247 has yet to confirm.
A 2014 commitment is in according to Inside Texas. ATH Roderick Bernard of Houston Sharpstown pulled the trigger today. Track stud and Darrell Wyatt wants him at WR:

I'm curious when this guy was offered since there are many good players coming to junior days without offers.
not impressed at all, 0 route running ability, every play was a go or screen to him and he doesn't have much burst off the line just pure top end speed
Forgot to post this yesterday. Remember five-star WR Laquon Treadwell that Texas flirted with for about five minutes? Well, he's not helping Ole Miss at all when it comes to accusations of paying blue-chip recruits:
Based on everything I've seen, the offer went down yesterday and Bernard didn't wait.
He'll be at the first Junior Day on February 10th.
Quotes from the high school coach of 2014 ATH Roderick Bernard (OrangeBloods):
"It happened all within about a week," said Sharpstown head coach Dallas Blacklock. "Texas was pretty confident after watching him on tape and talking to me. They felt like he was a guy that could fit their program pretty well. He's a dual-sport kid. He runs track and plays football, so he's really fast. He's built like Marquise Goodwin. Roderick's not an Olympic style kid but he's fast like Marquise. He's a 4.3 kid."
"It was maybe the next week coach that coach Giles gives me a call, said he wants to come by and see me. We talked and he said our wide receivers coach really likes (Bernard)," Blacklock said. "He likes what he can do on film, we might want to offer him."
"He told me how he's similar in Marquise's build - they're both about 5-9 and 175 pounds. I looked it up and they're identical in their body make up. I can see how he can fit at Texas. We had talked, and they wanted to come by and talk to me, look at Roderick's transcripts, see what kind of character he has."
"I was totally okay with that. Roderick is the best kid in the country. He's awesome. If we had 20 more Rodericks, we'd be state champs," coach Blacklock said. "They came by, they said 'tell me about his character.' I did, and they said they want to make him a Longhorn."
"I told them he'll be excited to hear that and they'll probably be hearing from him soon. He called coach Wyatt tonight and made it official. It all wrapped up pretty quickly. When the University of Texas comes knocking, you don't wait."
"Because UT jumped out so fast, nobody really got a chance to see him," Blacklock said. "They kind of said, 'Let's get him now before he hits the market.' Right now, everybody is still trying to tie up loose ends with 2013 but Texas is already done with most of that so they're able to get a head start on 2014."
I really like this guy! He reminds me of James Clark of Smyrna Beach this year. He might not be the guy who is going to run routes like Shipley or anything like that, but sent him deep and get him the ball the way that WVU has been giving Tavon Austin the ball. He seems electrifying!
2014 OG/C Connor Mayes of Van Alstyne is another guy who will be at one of the Junior Days. He received a lot of praise at the Rivals100 Underclassmen Challenge last July.

I don't know if I've linked his film yet, but 2014 LB Tay Evans of Allen is probably going to get a long look from Texas:

InsideTexas had a good article about him and his teammate Christian Sam.

24/7 saying Applewhite and Wyatt are back at DeSoto to see RB Dontre Wilson. He's expected in Austin tomorrow night or Saturday morning.
Good to see our coaches making a strong push for him. I don't think Oregon or osu are recruiting him as hard as we are right now.
I may not know WTF I'm talking about, but my gut feel is Ohio State didn't do much for him and they're starting to pull back (if they haven't already). It's a matter of pulling him away from Oregon now.
24/7 reporting that Mack was at Dallas South Oak Cliff today to see 2014 DE Silvester Hayes and 2014 S Jyaz Jones:

24/7 saying Texas has reached out to a mystery prospect to gauge his interest before National Signing Day. They said the name will be released tomorrow morning if things go forward.
DT Andrew Billings is scheduled to announce his commitment on Tuesday around 3 p.m. 24/7 feeling worse about Texas' chances.
Any guess as to who it is?
Texas actually sent the whole offensive staff other than Searels:
(Left to right): Porter, Mack, random DeSoto lady, Wyatt, Chambers, Applewhite
