Wheeler looked like a bust. Luckily Tech is loaded at WR.
Per Texas' head athletic trainer, the following guys have been cleared for fall practice:
QB David Ash (foot)
RB Johnathan Gray (Achilles)
TE Greg Daniels (shoulder)
OL Kent Perkins (knee)
DT Paul Boyette (shoulder)
LB Jordan Hicks (Achilles)
S Sheroid Evans and S Erik Huhn (both knee issues) will have limited participation in fall camp and LB Deoundrei Davis (knee) will not participate at all.
Update on WR John Humphrey after the "Under the Lights" camp (OrangeBloods):
"I decided to respectively not focus on the University of Texas at this time. I did not contact any coaches from UT nor do I intend on contacting them."
Zach Gentry ran a 4.6 forty. Not bad for a guy reported to be 6' 6" or 6' 7". Video is from rivals ($).

Update on 2015 DT Darrion Daniels of Bishop Dunne in Dallas, TX. (Horns Digest)
The No 14 ranked defensive tackle checks in from Dallas (TX) Bishop Dunne. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound standout is one of the most heavily recruited players regardless of position in the class of 2015. Daniels was not participating in the camp Friday night but was able to soak in the experience.
Darrion Daniels holds offers fromArizona State, Arkansas, Baylor,California, Colorado, Iowa,Louisville, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, TCU,Texas Tech and Texas to name a few. The defensive line recruits in attendance stole the show on the night as it was a great group overall. Defensive line coach Chris Rumph is one of the most intense, in your face coach you will find and that is exactly what Daniels is looking for. Daniels talked about the overall experience.
"First off, seeing how coach Rumph had his own defensive linemen out here coaching and showing the other players how to do things was cool," Daniels said. "They are coming together and they are determined to teach the players how to do it the right way. I was talking to one player, and he was saying since the new staff has been here everything has been increasing a tremendous amount, and everything is going well."
Spending time with current players is something Daniels feels is a very important piece of the recruiting process. He is looking forward to coming back to Texas and spending more time with the players.
"It helps me out trying to get a feel for the coaches and getting some inside information," Daniels said.
Coach Rumph is a high energy, high motor, very intense in your face coach that is going to get the best of your abilities. Those are the characteristics Daniels is looking for in a coach.
"That's the kind of coaching I like," Daniels said. "I like having a coach in your face, always yelling at you. My dad always says if the coach isn't talking to you that means you are doing something wrong so if the coach is in your face he sees something inside of you he is trying to get out."
Bishop Dunne will hold a media day soon, and Daniels will name his top ten and soon after the top five. His goal is to be committed by December.
Update on 2015 DB Holton Hill. (Horns Digest)
Holton Hill is the No 15 ranked cornerback prospect in America. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound four-star standout made an unofficial visit to Texas and walked away more than impressed.
Holton Hill was not able to workout Friday night, but that did not takeaway from his overall experience. He was seen numerous times talking with head coach Charlie Strong. Hill made the trip up with athlete J.W. Ketchum and is glad he did.
"It was an amazing experience," Hill said. "I had a good time and it was amazing. I had a chance to get around and talk to the coaches, and I enjoyed myself."
Charlie Strong was evaluating as many recruits as possible but made more than a few special trips to spend quality time with the lockdown corner. It's that kind of one on one attention that caught Hills eye.
"That makes me feel good about myself and them as a whole," Hill said. "It makes me think they feel highly of me which is a good thing when I look into a school. Getting around the coaches, its always good to get around the coaches and hear what they have to say about you," Hill said. "There were so many wonderful things they had to say and they want me to be a Longhorn."
Coach Chris Vaughn could be his future position coach. Coach Vaughn is very energetic and passionate about coaching and the game of football.
"That's what I like to see," Hill said. "The coaches getting fired up because that's what I build off of, that intensity, and that's what I like to see, and I enjoyed it. It was amazing."
Where does Texas stand for the speedy cornerback?
"Honestly, I can tell you I am not sure, but I can tell you that Texas is in my top five," Hill said.
Hill talked about his game and what makes him a high-level recruit.
"Man on man, very physical, I like to stand in the receivers face the entire game." Hill said. "I am very explosive and I like to harass the receivers all night long."
Lol these kids love the attention that these recruiting sites give them after making lists.
I'll give Daniels his top five:
Tech, UT, Baylor, OU and LSU
Wheeler is back according to Lubbock avalanche journal.
Not sure if I should care.
Remember him?

Possible Louis Brown commitment coming tonight.
They thought they were going to have to amputate his arm at one point. Jesus.
Done deal.
Quotes from ATH Louis Brown after committing to Texas (OrangeBloods):
"I'm not going to lie. At first, I didn't like Texas that much," said Brown. "Last year I went to a game against Oklahoma State. They had like over 100 recruits from classes. That's not even necessary to be honest. You don't get to talk to any of the coaches or anyone. 'Not really interested' is the vibe they gave me."
"When I went for the junior day, I gave them a second chance. Me and coach Strong and coach (Chris) Rumph have been talking. He's (Strong) a really down to earth person. He's going to make you laugh and just be honest with you. He just said, 'Man, you're a good player and I want to offer you.' Since then, we've been talking non-stop. They told me about the pros of Texas and how I could play defensive end."
"Yes sir," responded Brown when asked if the "Under the Lights" camp played a role in his decision. "When I got home my Mom and I talked about it, we liked it at Texas. It's a good school, it has a good educational program and it's close to home."
"At first I was rushing, and I had to learn how to get into a three-point stance," the 6-6 athlete said. "But I liked it a lot. He (Strong) taught me more in 30 minutes about football than I've learned in three years at high school. I'll play the fox position - basically like [a guy] that can rush the passer or drop back in coverage. It's what I really like to do."
"Man… they were jacked up! They were fired up," the newest Texas commitment said about the UT staff when he called him earlier. "I'm done with everything basically."
Per 24/7, DT Du'Vonta Lampkin of Cypress Falls will unofficially visit LSU this Friday and is planning to make his decision next week.
The Dallas Cowboys cut DT Chris Whaley today.

Former players and coaches from several schools talk about what to expect from Coach Strong:

I'm guessing he's referring to that being Malik's number.
