Scout saying Coach Norvell went by Argyle today to see TE JC Chalk:

Per 24/7, a staff member saw DE/LB Erick Fowler of Manor today.
Great story on Charlie Strong by SportingNews

According to Higdon, DT Jordan Elliott has USC as his leader, followed by Michigan and Florida State. To quote him directly:
"Not really sure how I feel about this kid but appears Texas fans should move on from this one."
Scout saying UT went to see DE Mark Jackson of Cibolo Steele today.
They think the staff will see DE/LB Alton Robinson from Converse Judson tomorrow.
OL Austin Anderson and OL Riley Anderson of Mineola have committed to Texas A&M.
This one stings a little. I was thinking Coach Traylor's connection to the family would win out.
Not surprising. Mineola a little redneck hole. The kids there are probably running around in an Aggie tshirt and a diaper from the time they can walk.
Quick notes from 24/7...
-Coach Norvell saw 2017 QB Shawn Robinson (Denton Guyer) today.
-DT Jordan Elliott (Houston Westside) received an offer from Auburn.
-2017 ATH Jeffrey Okudah (South Grand Prairie) has been offered by Alabama.
Interesting quote from DE Mark Jackson of Cibolo Steele (24/7):
“I like Texas,” Jackson said. “But I’m just not really sure about them right now though. I haven’t been talking to them as much.”
More updates from the road (24/7):
-UT saw OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite this morning.
-Coach Haley was at Fort Bend Hightower to see DT Darius Anderson.
-Coach Bedford is expected to visit DE/LB Alton Robinson of Converse Judson.
Coach Smart visited him yesterday.
A&M's 24/7Sports site had an interview with OT Jean Delance. He mentioned the SEC, USC and Ohio State as places he really likes. He only mentioned Texas, when he name dropped the schools that came by on monday.
I would've never thought that Wickline would be the weak link as a recruiter on the staff. Who's left in Texas that could be interesting? Tope Imade and Chris Hughes? Keenan Murphy and Zach Shackelford maybe? I understand that you won't stop recruiting top guys like Patrick Hudson and Greg Little, but they seem like a longshot at best. I really hope Texas can get some guys out of Florida or from the JUCO ranks.
I know it's early, and last year looked the same and ended with a strong finish. But it doesn't look good right now.

24/7 thinks Imade and Hughes are the next in line and Inside Texas likes Myers from Manvel, but here are some other options (including the aforementioned) for anyone who's interested. JUCO names really haven't surfaced yet, but I'd expect Strong and Wickline to do their homework there as well:

Per Scout, UT will see five-star S Brandon Jones from Nacogdoches today.
I went back and looked at The Opening Reginals from Dallas, to watch Chris Hughes. Bruffy was actually pretty good. He's lean, but held his own.
I remember Wooten get a lot of talk early on. He transferred to Houston Lamar and kind of disappeared.
I admittedly haven't paid any attention to recruiting for 2016 so far, I think the last few months of 2015 drained me.
That said, from what I have seen I still don't understand Strong's recruiting style. Seems like there's lots of miscommunication everywhere.
Texas A&M has offered 2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale:

EAGLELance: Cyrus Jones arrested this morning ... https://t.co/bpzgj1HGai
Yet another Bama player being arrested...just another day for Coach Saban.
Same here.
24/7 saying a staff member was at Trophy Club Byron Nelson this morning to see OL Kellen Diesch and DE Brandon Bowen.
Scout saying they expect an offer or two to go out "very soon."
