I would not wait. I would add BYU/Colorado State, Memphis/UCF, or if possible Nebraska if they will come back and maybe Houston. They could maybe even go to 14 teams.

[TheMex]

No on BYU, playing 26 yr olds it's tough!

[elbamba]

UT at its best should not be worried about BYU. Really UT at par should not worry about BYU.

UT at its best should not be worried about BYU. Really UT at par should not worry about BYU.

I would rather play them at the end of the conference schedule anyway.
There is no doubt in my mind those older kids get organized quicker.

Looks like WR Tre Nixon of Melbourne, FL has eliminated UT:

Not a big deal, Texas has a lot of options still, WR is not a huge need position this year so Texas can be patient and wait for the other kids to make their decision.

Update on 2017 LB Anthony Hines of Plano East (24/7):

“It (visit to UT) was really fun,” Hines said. “I went down with my dude Eno Benjamin and as soon as we got there, a bunch of the coaches were there to meet us — Coach (Jay) Norvell, Coach Brian (Jean-Mary) and even Coach (Charlie) Strong. It was really cool.”

“It was really cool to get to talk to Coach Strong,” Hines said. “He was just talking to me about the expectations that come with being a Longhorn. He told me that he really wants me to eventually be one. It was really cool to hear him say that.”

“I’m very interested in Texas,” Hines said. “Whenever I release of my top schools, they will definitely be in it.”

Quotes from DE Malcolm Roach of Baton Rouge, LA (24/7):

“I’ve known Coach Haley since he was at LSU,” Roach said. “We have a really good relationship, and I think he’s a great coach. I love the way he coaches his players. He wants me to go to the (Under the Lights) camp and said I could leave with an offer.”

“I grew up liking Texas a lot,” Roach said. “It was one of my favorite schools. I loved watching Jamaal Charles, Vince Young and Brian Orakpo. They just have a lot of tradition. I like Texas a lot, and I think it would be a really good fit for me."

“I also really like Coach (Charlie) Strong. I like what he’s doing with the program and how he disciplines his players. He also develops his players like he did with Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville.”

I think this is a first for me. Never saw a Dual threat/ Inside LB combo player.

Apparently this Cowherd and Harbaugh interview was super awkward.

Harbaugh called Cowherd "complete trash" afterwards:

[TFloss32]

Inside Texas spoke with OL Patrick Hudson of Silsbee and he mentioned he's been in contact with Strong "a lot" lately.

He is considering attending the "Under the Lights" camp on July 18th.
