Per 24/7, WR Ricky Seals-Jones is looking to make an unofficial visit to UT for the West Virginia game on October 6th. He's also going to be in College Station for the Week 2 game between A&M/Florida. These are the only two games on his agenda so far.
JUCO OL Trenton Brown has committed to Georgia. We've discussed him in the past because of his family ties to Austin and Bastrop.

24/7 also mentioning that WR Marquise Goodwin is expected to be back in Austin by Thursday or Friday. Both special team transfers, K Anthony Fera and P Alex King, should be at practice tomorrow but aren't scheduled to participate until they get some minor paperwork taken care of.
RSJ is filling up that social calender nicely.

The Texas secondary is going into 2012 with big expectations:

Latest from 2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham (24/7):
“Honestly it was hard to not commit right when Texas offered me,” said Gresham. “Immediately after I got offered, I called Demetrius and told him ‘Are you ready to be a Longhorn? Are you ready to commit to UT?’ We were both excited about the whole deal. I’m still ecstatic about it really. I almost cried when I got the offer. I like Texas a lot. I don’t know if I can hold out that long like Demetrius. I honestly don’t know. Maybe, but I don’t know.”
"We’ve already been talking about it a lot really,” Gresham explained. “We’re going to sit down, talk it over with each other, our families and (All Saints head coach) Coach Beck. So for right now we’ll wait and see what’s up. It’s tough though (to hold off on committing). I am really, really excited about this.”
Quotes from 2014 S Jamal Adams (24/7):
“I’m just trying to take everything in right now,” said Adams. “It (a decision) could be ten minutes it could be in two years. I’m just going to wait for it. I’m just going soak it in right now, talk to my family and see how they feel about everything. I’m just going to let it flow.”
“Everything’s going through my head right now, honestly,” Adams said. “I’m seeing a lot of people committing, and I mean, dang, just to know that Texas, as a big powerhouse school… It’s great. All of my family is going to be able to see me. But man, it’s just a blessing to get this offer because this is a really big offer. I’m just really glad they offered me because they’re really, really high on my list. I’m just excited. I really don’t know what I’m going to do right now, but it’s a good chance. You never know.”
Quote from a source close to CB Cole Luke (24/7):
“Texas is definitely still very much on top,” the source told Hookem.com. “They are still the team to beat. At this point we’re just sitting back and waiting for it (a commitment) to happen. We just don’t know when exactly that will be, that’s the only problem.”
Pretty strong intro...
"The Horns' secondary is so talented that it would not be a misnomer to call it close to NFL caliber."
OL Dom Espinosa tweeted a picture of his practice jersey this morning. Looks like the team is rolling with the alternates for fall camp:
Manny Diaz @UT_MannyDiaz

Mack's pre-fall camp press conference from yesterday:

TCU picked up a commitment from LB Dac Shaw of Mineola yesterday. He's a guy to keep an eye on this fall if Texas decides they want to offer another LB.

Some sneak peeks of the practice jerseys. Okafor (#80) is kind of scary:
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but both DE Jackson Jeffcoat and S Adrian Phillips have been cleared for full contact after their injuries last year. A healthy Phillips will go a long way for that secondary.

Some of you may remember OL John Michael McGee from Texarkana. UT was recruiting him for a short time last year and he came down for the spring game. Searels didn't offer at the time and he pledged to never return to Austin. Ended up signing with OU.
SoonerScoop.com @SoonerScoop
Freshman all American offensive guard John Michael McGee nowhere to be found at practice today as well.
Guerin Emig @GuerinEmig
Counted 14 #Sooners o-linemen in drills. That number not exactly reassuring, for a unit that's a supposed strength.
John M. McGee @UnappreciatedJM
Football isn't for everybody.

I love my mom. Texarkana in my future.
For those of you hate Craig James and like David Pollack, it's good news:
Ralph D. Russo @ralphDrussoAP
David Pollack takes Craig James' spot on Thursday's with Rece Davis, making Thursday night the most handsome night in sports TV.
I don't know whether to be happy or feel sorry for their OLine. They lost yet another (starting) OLineman today with a possible ACL injury.

They're having to replace two starters and only have fall camp to get acclimated. Minus Broyles on the outside and it could be tough for Jones. I'm not nearly as high on OU as the media but Stoops usually finds a way.
OL Caleb Benenoch loves the Twitter game:
