We haven't talked about him that much, but Clemson grad tansfer RB Tavien Feaster said yesterday he will be playing at either South Carolina or Va Tech.
Roach from 24/7 just posted that the Broughton recruitment isn't over, and feels like there is some "budding confidence" on the Texas side.

OU picks up OL Andrew Raym of Broken Arrow, OK.
He had a Texas offer.

We signed a 5-star running back last year and Derrian Brown though so I don’t understand how it’s the same scenario.
Keep in mind Whittington is now playing RB out of necessity.
He's likely in the WR group right now had Coach Drayton landed Cain and Brown didn't get sick.
Texas is super lucky that kid is just a pure, badass football player and everything worked out.
We also need to keep our fingers crossed Kirk Johnson is fully healthy and a major contributor this year at RB. We need him in a bad way for at least solid depth.
I think Drayton needs to re-evaluate his recruiting style, because it’s been kind of stale if you ask me.

Article on Mount Vernon's hiring of Art Briles and how their citizens are reacting to it.
https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...ing-art-briles
The Football Brainiacs added today that they spoke with Broughton's mother and they'll be filming a commitment video this weekend.
They aren't familiar with the person(s) filming the video, and it doesn't seem anyone on the A&M side knows either which would explain their uncertainty.
On an unrelated note, Wilftong from 24/7 hasn't put in an A&M crystal ball at this time which is noteworthy considering he's close with A&M's defensive staff.
On RB Bijan Robinson of Tucson, AZ...The Football Brainiacs spoke with his mother as well and he has made a decision.
She didn't tell them which school it was, but they did say people around his high school believe Ohio State is trending.
One thing they said to consider is Ohio State is expected to pick up RB Jaylan Knighton of Deerfield Beach, FL right before Robinson commits, and although he's considered an APB, they weren't positive Robinson would be ok with that.
They expect Texas' staff to use this down the stretch hoping it will resonate with Robinson and he'll change his mind if Texas isn't already his pick.
What's your feeling here Tfloss? You as lost as me on this one??? I want to lean Texas here, but can't convince myself. Aggy is strangely way too quiet.
Little details here and there lead me to believe Texas is still in it and has a chance to pull a last minute upset, but I've got A&M right now.
Basically, I simply don't know and certain things don't add up if he's picking A&M.
I would feel pretty confident in Texas being in the lead, if it wasn't for Suchomel. Suchomel has always been pretty conservative predicting where recruits commit and now he is so adamant that Texas is still on the outside at the moment is cause for concern..
He has left some room for things to change and his initial info came from Broughton two weeks ago at the Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta, but there's no way to know who he's been talking to since then whether it's Broughton himself, his mother, etc.
Then you have Roach from 24/7 who has been talking to Broughton directly, and he's not coming off of his UT prediction to this point.
You gotta give it up to VB, he has played this perfectly. Has everyone completely guessing.He has left some room for things to change and his initial info came from Broughton two weeks ago at the Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta, but there's no way to know who he's been talking to since then whether it's Broughton himself, his mother, etc.

The latest on DT Vernon Broughton from OrangeBloods.
"If you’ve been paying attention to my reporting over the past few weeks, I’ve stated that I feel Texas is a bit behind A&M and to a lesser degree, Ohio State. I have very good reason to believe that, and it was stated to me again on Wednesday, yet I can’t quite shake the feeling that UT (his longtime leader) is going to surge down the stretch and win this race. Broughton is making a commitment video, which could be released as early as next week, so the time is running out on this one. Most of the signs I’ve picked up point to Texas A&M but there’s enough Texas buzz that I’m not ruling the Longhorns out at all. Tough one to call, and I just don’t have a great read on it yet. That should change soon."
Seeing now he'll show the commit video Monday. We'll know soon enough.
This.
That top kids are getting good at managing the media relations game is a net positive, even though it frustrates certain people who make their living on inside information. The earlier a kid gets used to handling the demands of the various media outlets, the better for him.
People say Texas recruits are highly rated in high school because of all the camps, but because they are so developed early, there are fewer upside surprises from Texas recruits.
I like that a couple of the kids are starting to show they are as developed on the field as they are in dealing with the media. It shows me that the glare of the bright lights will be less of a distraction once they step foot on campus.
Or at least one can hope.
Just remember, the real Dline prize is Alfred Collins, he is the best dlinemen in the state. Very strange, this is a very down year for defensive linemen in the state. Leterally there are only about 5 to 7 top defensive linemen this year. Outside of them you are looking at guys that might develop over their senior year. This is good for Herman who is really good at evaluating seniors during the season.
I hate the idea of losing a top player to the ags, but I'm not holding my breath either way. I personally thing his best position is a 4-3 DT. He is too long to play the Nose, and not a good enough athlete to play the DE.
I'm really hoping that we can move some coaches around, I'd love to see Samples as our RB coach, get him out there on the recruiting trail and maybe move Beady to DE coach and get him helping Giles in recruiting. That of course would require losing a couple of coaches, tops on that list are Warehime and Drayton. Too bad, I like both, but if it means getting better recruiters for the dline and Runningback, I'm all in. i don't however wish to lose Oscar Giles, that dude is a great coach. Heck I'd even be good with keeping Drayton and using in another capacity. Make him an associate athletic director or something like that.
Does Alfred Collins have a set date for a commitment?
No, he's planning on fall official visits.
Hamm says Vernon Broughton will make his announcement July 15th
