Quotes from 2013 OL/DL Jake Raulerson:
"It was a great visit. We got to meet with some of the academic people at the start and it was just a great visit overall. I had a really good time," said Raulerson.
"I got to hang out with guys like Josh Cochran, Jaxon Shipley. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them," Raulerson said. "They're really, really good guys. It shows how good the guys are at Texas. We hung out a little bit and I got the players' perspective, saw the dorm rooms and things like that."
"Coach (Stacy) Searels was talking to me about how he thinks I can play any position on the line. Coach (Bryan) Harsin and (Manny) Diaz actually thought of playing me at defensive end and switching me in for some tight end packages throughout the game. I thought that was pretty awesome to tell me that. It's an offensive lineman's dream to get to play some tight end."
"It was just a great visit. The 2012 guys had a good time. Once 2013 rolls around, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Raulerson said. "It was really good experience. It was a lot of fun to talk to those guys, ask them questions about the process, about everything. They're really good dudes and they're going to do great things next year."
"I liked my (UT) jersey," Raulerson said. "But I'm still weighing my options."
I'd add that Coach Beckham has been most vocal about Texas in press conferences and interviews. I'm not saying for certain that DGB's parents back Texas, but there's an argument to be made that they do. Need to get Mack in there and remind everybody of the warm family environment at Texas.
So nowadays chanting fans are more important than coach and school prestige, facilities, and being a championship contender? Well I'm pretty sure we can set up some setting like that for our visits to produce chanting fans. I'll cone out and chant! But does anyone know what school his girlfriend is going to, that could be a factor.
Aggies chanted Malcom Brown and Tim Cole at basketball games too, just saying.
For that to be the last possible weekend for recruiting, he's gonna have to already pretty much want to go to Texas to switch so close to the finish line.
True... But it may not have worked on them but it seemed to affect DGB and Trey Williams judging from Trey's twitter comment. These are 17-18 year olds and some things may intrigue them that should bare much weight. Give em what they want and what they need.
Bryson Echols has received his fourth star on Rivals, as Bill reported on twitter (and has also blocked me for some reason)
I don't remember blocking you Pop. What's your handle? Sometimes my Twitter acts up, this is the first time something like this has happened.
Back after the a&m game I tweeted you saying that guy who rubbed macks head was a Texas player, not an aggie fan. I figured maybe that's why. I'll message you (on spurstalk).
I saw that Rivals moved Mario Edwards from defensive end to tackle also.
Add Skyline DB Will Barrow to the First Junior Day List. Samples and Barrow are supposed to attend JD1 together.

More pics of 2013 OL/DL Jake Raulerson's unofficial visit to UT. Excited for this kid to lead the 2013 class:
Update on TE Vincent Hobbs...he's headed back to Mesquite with his family and a decision on an offer could come as early as tonight. I imagine we'll know if he's going to be a Longhorn or not in the next couple of days. That's pretty much it for now.
Raulerson reminds me of a big caveman, cant wait to see him after working out with wylie for a while.
Floss do you have a JD2 visitors list?
Sundays with Bill link: http://www.burntorangenation.com/201...eekend-edition
There's a lot of uncertainty for that right now. There are several guys that are "maybes" or "think they have invitations." I believe the only guy confirmed for JD2 is 2013 WR Eldridge Massington from West Mesquite. You've got guys like Barrett, Wade and Collins who have been talked about quite a bit but there's no solid info so far that they'll be there. I will definitely post as soon as names are confirmed.
Reports have said Wylie is a big plus in the eyes of the Raulersons.
Bill-
Forgot to mention 2013 TE Jeremiah Gaines. He's said the coaches want him in Austin for the second Junior Day.
Raulerson is gunna be a big boy once he starts hitting those college weights.
I'd get to it, but Floss can handle it. Tell the masses the Dalton Santos news. I got a promotion this week and this is still better news.
Santos visiting is huge if you can land him
Hook em 247 is pretty confident we will land him. Would be a nice pickup.
I'd take him over DLT anyday, but I don't get why he's offered with our depth.
