Good to hear!
24/7 reporting that 2014 OL Demetrius Knox tried to call the UT coaches a few times yesterday while everyone was out on the practice field. Important to remember that the coaches can't call him back because of the recruiting rules in place during this time of year. Nothing was said beyond that.
2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham has committed.
Pictures from the A.M. workout (freshmen). Veterans should be added tonight:

Link has the "Luck the Fakers" thing going.
Nice. We'll see what happens with Knox. He's been talking big but it feels like he just isn't ready.
How many kids are we looking to take this class?

I think it will be a bigger class like 2012. A big reason they wanted to start offering sop res is because the 2014 class is so deep.
Here is another looks at 2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham's highlights. Someone will make nice living running behind this guy at UT:

Pending a ride D. Gresham and D. Knox will visit UT this weekend. Mini jr day if they make it along w/ J. Adams and J. Heard.

Quote from 2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham (OrangeBloods):
"(Demetrius) and I were thinking of coming down this weekend. But it's kind of up in the air. We have practice on Saturday and then a dinner, so we may have to postpone it until the next weekend. We wanted to get there because I heard lot of other recruits are coming down on Saturday," Knox said.
2014 WR KD Cannon just told OrangeBloods that he's also thinking of making a visit on Saturday or Sunday. So, your visitors this weekend could look something like this:
2014 Prospects
QB, Jerrod Heard, Denton Guyer
RB/FB, Daniel Gresham, Fort Worth All Saints
WR, KD Cannon, Mount Pleasant
OL, Demetrius Knox, Fort Worth All Saints
DE, Solomon Thomas, Coppell
S, Jamal Adams, Carrollton Hebron
of a group. I hope they all make it down.
Same here. Gresham and Knox have practice on Saturday so that could prevent them from making it down.
Video of all the guys checking in on Sunday:

Quotes from 2014 RB/FB Daniel Gresham after his commitment to Texas (24/7):
“I thought about it a lot,” Gresham said of his commitment. “I talked to Demetrius (Knox) about it, talked to (All Saints head coach) Coach (Aaron) Beck and my family about it. I couldn’t see any reason why not to commit, you know? I didn’t see anything wrong with it. I fell in love with Texas, so I figured I better just go ahead and be a Longhorn.”
“I really decided to do it on Monday,” explained Gresham. “I was actually talking to Demetrius and I told him I think we should commit. We talked to a bunch of people about it all and got their advice. We decided it would be better for me to commit and him to wait. So on Monday night I called Coach (Major) Applewhite and told him that I was going to go ahead and commit, but I wanted to announce it tomorrow. He was fine with that, so this morning I called and told him I was ready. Once he heard that he gave the phone to Coach (Mack) Brown and I told him I want to be a Longhorn.”
“Coach Brown was very excited to hear the news,” Gresham told Hookem.com. “He told me he was glad to have me on board with the team and that he was very excited that I committed. He said that they really need me down in Austin and can’t wait until I get there. He went on and on with me for a while, which was really cool.”
“My role will be very important in the offense at Texas because I’ll be lined up everywhere,” Gresham said. “Coach Applewhite told me to watch the running backs this year for sure. He said they’re going to use me in certain packages with another running back. Before I committed I asked if I’ll just be used as a fullback and they told me no. I’ll be a tailback, fullback and lining me up to run a bunch of routes. They really like my soft hands and said I have good feet, so they want me to get involved in the passing game as much as possible.”
“I’m actually about to start working on people now,” said Gresham. “I’m going to get a hold of these different recruits Texas is after and recruit them for Texas. I’m going to tell them being a Longhorn is where it’s at and that’s what they need to do. They need to go ahead and commit.”
Another big time name could be in Austin this weekend per OrangeBloods. 2014 CB/S Tony Brown is trying to set up a visit. The list of visitors is seemingly growing by the day so there's no telling who will end up showing. Bring 'em out!
Linking Tuesday's practice photos again since they've added the older guys. Amazing how much different some of them look:

Everyone looks really built, even the freshman.
Speaking of built
Also, Goodwin tweeted that he's headed back to Austin. So he should be back in practice either tomorrow or Thursday.

Good interview about Cole Luke. Not much on the recruiting, but a lot of info about Luke as a person.
http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com...sp?CID=1393999
"Right now I'm leaning toward USC, Texas, Oklahoma and Notre Dame," Luke says after wrapping up a two-hour practice. "I'm going to talk to Texas tonight about a date to visit. I'm still trying to set it up with OU and trying set it up with Notre Dame. I talked to USC, too."
Demetrius Knox @meechy77
Im proud my boy Daniel committed 2day but Im going 2 wait a little longer We r still going 2 the same college Im just letting this play out
Seems like a nice kid. I'm pumped to see how the '13 DB class turns out. With Davis and Huhn already on board, adding Luke and possibly Harris makes for an exciting, balanced group.
