I only follow Texas guys and they all tweeted Texas. Maybe some had their tweets typed out and ready to go because they expected Stanford.
So weird. Does anyone know if he pulled the switcheroo? Lots of tweets that it was Stanford.

LB Andrew Beck (picture he's holding is him in the 4th grade at Mack's summer camp)
24/7 said he picked Stanford initially. Apparently there were some published reports that it was Stanford as well. Who knows.
For those who haven't seen it, here's the junior highlights for LB Andrew Beck:

Holy s*#* so he committed to Texas?!?! Wow!!!
i had even read an article and everything!! Crazy!!
Wow...great couple of days!
Oh, and Solomon Thomas is a ing beast.
He looks like he's in his mid 20s
Quotes from LB Andrew Beck after committing to Texas (24/7):
"I was fortunate enough to visit (Texas) two or three weeks ago and it was automatically a great feeling,” Beck said. “You just feel it in your stomach when you're there."
"From the head coach to the janitors, everyone is an incredible person there."
"He (Mack Brown) was really excited,” Beck said. “They don't have any Florida guys coming in and that kinda makes me nervous (laughing). He was excited and happy for me."
"I really felt it when I went to Texas, I went to a couple places after that, but I would weigh everything to Texas and I still felt it was Texas,” Beck said. “I didn't feel a need to prolong the process."
Update on CB Jermaine Roberts of New Orleans, LA...Inside Texas says he will be in Austin this weekend and his top two is currently Ole Miss and Texas. A couple of weeks ago he told certain sites Alabama was his #1, but it seems he's now looking in another direction because he feels he has a better opportunity for playing time elsewhere. He may also be concerned that his Alabama offer isn't as serious as other schools pursuing him. He could be #15 in the coming days.
Worth noting that Courtney Garnett technically isn't committed right now because apparently he has some academic issues. I don't think we have to worry about it though, he should be able to take care of it.
I'm still considering him #12 though.
More quotes from LB/S Edwin Freeman on where Texas stands in his recruitment (24/7):
“It’s Texas, Texas A&M and TCU in that order,” Freeman said. “Those are the only three I’m considering and I’ll pick from one of those toward the end of spring. I definitely want to make a decision before summer begins. I want it out of the way.”
“The Texas visit was exciting,” he said. “I had a really good talk with the Texas coaches and some of the Texas players. They made me feel very welcomed and explained a lot of stuff to me. It was a really good visit overall.”
“One thing I liked a lot was visiting with the players,” said Freeman. “I got to ask them some questions and visit with them about everything that was going on. They all had really good things to say about Texas and told me I would really love it there. They said Texas has the best coaching and facilities. I really liked the facilities too. They stood out a lot and were really nice.”
“Texas is still recruiting me as a defensive back,” Freeman told Hookem.com. “Coach (Duane) Akina and Coach (Mack) Brown tell me they want me at safety. They said there’s the chance that I could move to linebacker later, but for right now they want me there playing safety.”
“I’d like to be one of the guys on Coach Akina’s money wall,” said Freeman. “That was nice to see. Real nice actually. Its impressive how many guys he puts in the NFL and how he coaches them up. That’s one big reason I like Texas a lot. He’s one of the best at what he does.”
“I now weigh 212 pounds, so many schools are recruiting me as a linebacker,” Freeman explained. “I’ve been playing linebacker, so I don’t have a problem with it. I like playing safety too. It’s whatever really, I welcome either move. Playing linebacker isn’t bad and I like it, but I also like making plays as a defensive back.”
“The practice went well,” Freeman said. “Those guys looked really good out there. I watched the entire practice, which was cool. They have so much speed, it’s crazy. I liked what I saw from the defense, especially with the linebackers and the defensive backs. I liked what I saw from the coaches and players when I was there. They looked really good. It was intense for sure. I think they’re going to be very good real soon.”

More quotes from LB Andrew Beck (HornsNation):
"Everybody told me, 'When you get to the right place, you just feel it in your stomach,'" Beck said of his visit to Texas. "That's really what I felt at Texas. Not just the players and the coaches, but everybody that is associated with Texas football."
"Everybody at Texas was real with me. They were not going to lie and say that you aren't going to play your freshman year, but they aren't going to say that you are."
"They want me as a middle linebacker," Beck said. "That's what I wanted to play, that was my preference. Playing middle linebacker at Texas is just icing on the cake. They did say that one the goal line, they might use me as an H-Back, but that is nothing different from what they do now there already."
"He (Manny Diaz) is a great guy," said Beck. "That was a big part of my decision. But if he's not there when I get there, or if he is not there the entire time, that's fine. But the energy that he brings to everything is great. When we visited for practice, he ran out there with his cleats on. That was awesome. He is a good guy. I am happy with our relationship and I am ready to make it a little more coaching level. That's something I am looking forward to."
I hope he'll catch a growth spurt here soon. I'm pretty sure UT has the inside track if they offer.

Per 24/7, DE Jarrett Johnson will be making another trip to College Station this weekend for A&M's spring game. It's looking like he'll shut it down and commit to the Ags at that time.
Nice video of Beck.
Floss, how can you pick gilbert grape over this gem?
Maybe I should use that one?
Texas has begun it's search for assistants to Patrick Suddes. The new job is as a "Football analyst" with defense as a priority. Expect another one for the offense at some point. Texas is seeking 15 years of HS football/NCAA and at least 5 years of HS coaching. Will probably be filled by experienced and respected HS coaches to fill those positions.

It's a step in the right direction!
go for it
Totally forgot about this one. I will put Case up at some point; we have to honor his last year of eligibility. Gilbert just felt right.
Bloeddyr should take this one since he needs a pic.
This Grant Watanabe kid isn't bad at all!

They both visited A&M today but Sumlin did not offer a scholarship to Sione and talked about the possibility of a grayshirt.That pretty much eliminates A&M from this recruitment.
I'd probably expect Sione to pick Texas and his brother follow.
