OrangeBloods reporting OL Denzel Okafor of Lewisville will be in town on Saturday.
Sounds like that recruitment could be swinging back in UT's favor.
Add 2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale to the attendees list for K-State.
FWIW, Inside Texas has been saying the UT coaches don't think his Baylor commitment is strong.
I think he lost on purpose, he doesn't get much opportunity to wear his Texas gear.

Anyone have info on this? The read is about Greg Little...
Total non-update.
All they did was re-confirm he attended the Red River game and say UT isn't in the race.
OrangeBloods saying WR Daje Johnson will be playing Saturday against K-State.
OL Kent Perkins should also be a go.
According to TCU's 247 guy, OL Denzel Okafor texted him saying Texas "may have the edge" in his recruitment. The guy also Crystal Balled Okafor to Texas.
Quotes from OL Denzel Okafor of Lewisville (OrangeBloods):
"It's probably not going to happen (a commitment while in Austin). Believe me, I want it (a decision) to happen, but it's probably not going to happen," Okafor said.
"You're right. That's kind of what it is. I'm looking for a reason (to commit to Texas). Charlie Strong a great coach and I may even relate more him more than Gary Patterson," Okafor said. "He's calm, knows what he wants, what he wants to do. He'll get you there. I'm not saying Gary Patterson won't, but Strong has some ways really effective ways. I would love to play for a coach like Charlie Strong."
"With TCU, they're a great team. Some people have been telling me, and I've been believing myself, TCU has done a great job the last few years," Okafor said. "This year, the thing is, their offense, they have a lot of seniors on that offense. They have Boykin, their offensive line is still good, but Doctson is probably leaving. If I become part of the Horned Frog family, I don't know what next year will be, with a brand new QB, a new offensive line, new wide receiver. Would you rather go there and see what happens, or go with a program that's developing currently? I'm seeing that with Texas a little. TCU is a great team, but I'm not sure I want to go there and not know."
"I may want to see what A&M has to offer me," Okafor said. "I have to contact them though."
"I didn't think Texas was going to beat a ranked team like Oklahoma. The fact they did, that shows they're progressing," Okafor said. "All the recruits that are already going to Texas, they're building something up. The team is young, needs to develop, but them beating Oklahoma is a sign of that. That's really getting my interest."
Update on S Innis Gaines of Beaumont West Brook (OrangeBloods):
“They received my transcript today, said they plan on offering me soon, for sure before signing day."
“They came to my game against Baytown and liked it. They watched my film, said I'm a great player and asked for my transcript."
“They told my coach today that an offer is guaranteed to come before signing day. Hopefully it comes soon.”
“It would make things pretty interesting. Texas is my dream school since I was little,” Gaines said. “I’ve been loving them since I was little. It would be a great opportunity for me. It’s a great atmosphere. I’ve gone there like three times before, I love the fans, the coaches, all of it.”

Ole Miss, A&M and Michigan:

I wanted to make fun of aggsy, but Michigan stole the show. That was priceless. Reminds me of me after FeCal.
I like this kid a lot. I've heard several people talk about the kid from Byron Nelson. I've seen him twice and I am not impressed. He has a great frame, but he got beat a lot and got called for holding a couple of times against kids he should be mauling. Okafor and Delance are a must.
I think Diesch from Byron Nelson is a longshot, but I believe the staff wants him at OT along with Delance.
We'll see if they can get him on campus.
Imade and Okafor meet your needs at OG.
A name we haven't talked about in a long time is CB Benjie Franklin of Alief Taylor.
Inside Texas said the staff checked in on him recently, and they plan on pursuing him down the home stretch if they feel he's going to qualify.
Seems that is what's kept so many schools from recruiting him.

The chick in the picture goes to Arizona and she had a sign at the game asking Rosen to call her. He called her.

Texas missed on Kam Martin. Here's the speed back to replace him if we're still in need.
I've read on other boards that the staff is not considering him at all. I think Kyle Porter is your take at that spot.
