24/7 saying all of the Texas coaches will be off of the road and back in Austin today to prepare for recruiting during the state track meet.
Events begin tomorrow.
Interesting update from 24/7.
They've spoken with a source close to QB Kai Locksley. They are being told that, right now, it is Auburn, Florida State or Texas (alphabetical) that he is most likely to sign with. Florida could jump in if/when they offer. 24/7 don't expect Maryland to be a factor anymore.
OrangeBloods reporting Texas has offered JUCO DT Mote Maile of Tyler JC.

Admittedly I don't know much about his interest in Auburn, but Maryland was always the team that bothered me because of his father coaching there.
CB Kris Boyd of Gilmer has been offered by Alabama.
They're now saying they don't know if it's a "formal" offer, so we'll have to wait.
QB Quinten Dormady of Boerne talks about Coach Watson's visit yesterday (24/7):
“Coach Watson stayed for about an hour and a half,” Dormady told Horns247. “It went very well. He watched me throw and I did some footwork and different throws. It was sort of like an NFL pro day type deal. Then I threw to receivers who were going one on one against defensive backs. After that we did 7-on-7 at the end.”
“Basically Coach Watson said they’re going to be in touch and we’ll see how things go,” Dormady said. “I had a good day so I definitely feel like I’m getting closer to that (an offer from Texas). Obviously it’s not my decision though, so we'll see soon."
“I think he’s a great person,” Dormady said of Watson. “He’s going to coach you up and get you to the top of your game and do it the right way.”
“I’m keeping my options open right now,” he said. “I'll say that Texas is definitely up there for me though.”
He tweeted that he will definitely be visiting. I don't like our chances anymore.
24/7 saying JUCO DT Mote Maile does NOT have an offer from Texas right now, but he did speak with Coach Rumph on Tuesday night and the staff is supposed to be in touch again soon. An offer may come at that point.
Don't get too discouraged because one of the things always said about Boyd is his family wants him close to home and the Longhorn ties are there. We'll see what comes of his meeting with the staff this weekend.
According to his Twitter, DT Tim Settle of Manassas, VA has Texas listed at #5 in his current Top 15.
FYI 24/7 moved QB Quinten Dormady of Boerne up to 172nd overall in the nation today:

Calif. DE Keisean Lucier-South has us in the top 16 he just released. The list expanded to 17 an hour and a half later when he added FSU. You can't make this up.

Quote from CB Xavier Lewis of Reserve, LA (24/7):
“The Texas Longhorns are recruiting me the hardest right now. Coach Vaughn has really been on it and in touch with me a lot. I really like what he’s had to say.”
@charless_94
I am excited and blessed to announce that I have been invited to the Semper Fields All American game!! ����������
OrangeBloods mentioned this morning that JUCO DT Mote Maile is a cousin of OL Patrick Vahe.
Update on OL Madison Akamnonu of Arlington Bowie (24/7):
“I mean I really feel a connection with those guys and I like Coach (Joe) Wickline and Coach (Charlie) Strong a lot,” Akamnonu said. “Both of them are very cool and I enjoy talking to them. I’m looking forward to them stopping back by.”
“I’m going to go down there (Texas) for a camp and compete,” he said. “I know they already offered me, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t show them what I got. Plus, it gives me a chance to really bond with the staff there and see more of the school. I enjoyed it my first time there but wanted to see more and this will give me that chance.”
“Oh yeah they’ll be in it,” he told Horns247. “You know they’ll be up there at the top. I would expect to have Texas and Oklahoma right there side by side. I really like the both of them.”
A new name Texas could be interested in is ATH Tony Nicholson of South Grand Prairie (24/7):
“I would definitely like to talk to them (Texas) if they are for sure interested in me,” Nicholson told Horns247. “That’s something I would like to learn more about. I’ve been talking to Charles Omenihu about it and I would be interested.”
“I’d be down to go (to a Texas camp) and show them what I can do,” he said. “That’s something that I would love to go do and a place I’d love to check out and learn more about.”
“Texas is a great place from what I hear,” added Nicholson. “I want to go down and see how they do it in Austin this summer.”
OL Patrick Vahe of Euless Trinity talks about his commitment to Texas (24/7):
“No (I'm) not (wavering) at all,” he said when asked while at Trinity on Thursday. “I love Texas. A lot. I can’t see myself anywhere else besides there. The coaches and I are tight and the campus is just great. Me and my family have fell in love with the place the past couple of times we have been there.”
“I’d say (to other recruits) you need to come on and get on board while you can,” Vahe said. “Don’t miss it and wait until it’s too late. We’re coming and have something to prove. It’s about to be a whole new ballgame from the University of Texas. We’re changing things in a big way.”
