OL Connor Mayes of Van Alstyne has committed to Minnesota.
OrangeBloods reporting RB D'Onta Foreman called the coaches last night with the intent to commit, but was unable to get through. He said he'll try again today. No word on Armanti but you have to think he'll follow suit.

How ridiculous would it be if D'onta committed but Armanti went somewhere else.

Unfortunately, it's looking that way. He went from a heavy Texas lean, to an A&M lean, and now Florida is on top.
From his twitter he loves Florida and his Dad looks into it as well. Doesn't hurt his Godfather is a coach at Florida. But of course the killer is him talking about wrapping up his recruitment right after visiting. I'd said he is solid Florida lean at this point.
I think the message boards are making too much of a recruits comments after a visit. I still think he ends up at Texas until proven otherwise.

Update on LB Cameron Hampton of Dallas Carter (24/7):
“Everything has been going great since I committed to Texas,” said Hampton. “I really like that I don’t have to worry about recruiting anymore. That’s actually the best part of it."
“Now I get to focus on my season and getting better as a player instead of worrying about the recruiting process. It’s been real nice. No more stress.”
“I still hear from a lot of schools,” he said. “Ohio State, Oklahoma State, USC and Florida are still probably recruiting me the hardest. I tell them not to even worry about me, but they keep on. I tell them that I’m definitely a Longhorn and that won’t be changing. I’m not worried about other schools besides Texas.”
“I’m definitely 100-percent committed to the Horns,” said Hampton. “I don’t care about any other schools. I talk to Coach Diaz at least two or three times a week. We talk often and have a great relationship. I don’t want to be anywhere else. I’m a Longhorn for life.”
“It was a lot of fun to participate and hang out with my future teammates and coaches (at the June 2nd camp),” Hampton said. “I enjoyed hanging out with the other commits the most. I’ve gotten to know them very well and I feel like we’re all already a family. A lot of those guys are now my best friends, especially Jerrod Heard. He and I are very tight and are always talking about Texas.”
“We’re going to be doing big things soon,” he said. “We’re all focused on getting things turned around down there and I’m very happy to be a part of that. Texas is 100-percent real. We’re coming back and we’re going to win a lot. Other teams need to be on the lookout.”
CB Jermaine Roberts talks about his recent trip to Austin (OrangeBloods):
"It was fun knowing that (Akina) does some of the things I already train for with my high school coach. Coach Akina spends a lot more time on it but it's similar things, so I liked that," Roberts said. "It's mostly different types of movements, putting your body in different positions, things like that."
"That was my first time working out with him but he's a cool coach," Roberts said. "He's always energized and ready to work."
"That was also my first time really walking around the campus by myself, seeing different things. It's a big campus, but it's cool since it's right by downtown there is lots to do and everybody is cool."
"It just made me even more solid with my commit, knowing that's the place for me, my relationship with the coaches and how they treat their players, knowing I'll do a great job there with coach Akina."
"I'm just going to shut it (recruiting) down right now. I'm still lifting and running with my teammates, but that's about it," Roberts said.
Quotes from JUCO TE John Thomas (24/7). He is scheduled to enroll at UT in Summer 2014:
“The first time I talked to Texas was three weeks ago,” Thomas said. “Maybe now that I'm here in Texas it's different than when I was from Louisiana.”
“I just happened to be in town so I just went there,” Thomas said. “They showed me a lot of stuff. They showed me around the Moncrief Complex and I got to look at all of the trophies, the lounge, the locker room and the weight room. It was a good visit.”
“He (Mack Brown) was very excited,” Thomas said. “It was my first time ever talking to Coach Brown and my heart bumping kind of fast. I told myself I just needed to relax. He basically said that if I'm 100-percent committed to them then they'll be 100-percent committed to me. That was pretty much it.”
“My junior year of high school I was an OK blocker, but now I'm driving bigger kids off the ball,” Thomas said. “I'm much more disciplined in my footwork and technique. I've always been that guy who can attack vertically and make plays.”
“My education is important to me and I'm majoring in communications,” Thomas said. “Texas has it's own network and that really stood out. My mom can come see my play all of my home games and all of the Big 12 games. We actually just moved to DeSoto, so everything is right around there where she can make it.”
“I don't know about all of the big expectations. I'm there just to put in work,” Thomas said. “That's all I want to do is go in and work hard. I'm going to do everything I can to play and if I end up starting then it happens. If the coaches want me to be a backup guy who comes in and makes plays then I'll be the best I can doing that."

Nah, tilt shift looks totally different.
Texas is contemplating a move on S Payton Hendrix of Dallas Bishop Dunne (24/7). He camped at UT last Friday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCCKp0tKRz4
“Recruiting for me has blown up,” said Hendrix. “I have 19 offers now. I don’t have any favorites or anything like that though. I’m just open to everyone. The schools that have recently come on strong though are ones like Texas, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Iowa and Washington. They’re all recruiting me pretty hard.”
“The contact with Texas actually started about a month before spring football started,” said Hendrix. “Coach (Bruce) Chambers came by and saw me workout. Ever since then they’ve been talking to me and recruiting me.”
“I visited Texas on Friday and it went really good,” Hendrix said. “It was my first visit there. It sort of opened my eyes to their program down there. I really like the staff they have at Texas, especially Coach (Duane) Akina. I had a chance to do a 1-on-1 workout with him and that was a big deal to me. I really like Texas now for sure. It’s a nice place and they have a great campus.”
“I didn’t receive an offer but we did talk about it some,” said Hendrix. “They want to bring in like five or six defensive backs in my class, which is something we talked about. Coach Akina told me they currently have some offers out right now to other guys, but that one could be coming my way soon.”
“I think that if they did end up offering I would be very grateful and it would be an honor to receive it,” Hendrix said. “I’d have to say that they would be one of my top schools when I narrowed it down and I’d have to consider them a lot. They’re DBU, so as a defensive back, you have to look at them hard if they offer. They’re one of the best.”
TE Bryce Dixon says Texas is currently recruiting him the hardest, according to Rivals.
He was unable to make it to Austin last week with his teammate, 2015 QB Ricky Town.
Interesting, and quite scary, read on D'haquille Williams and his decommitment, from a poster on one of the 247 boards.
basically the reason why he decommitted and maybe wants to go elsewhere is because of his home environment.
sometime after his commitment, he attended a party at his aunt's in laplace or something like that and some thugs came by and killed his 16 year old cousin. they later found a note at the house saying that d'haquille was next.
next day, DW gets mugged and robbed at a gas station as his cell phone and wallet are stolen.
he then flies to colorado to stay with a relative and get away from it all. basically, he's scared to come home to that environment.

For some reason, I can't play any of the videos, so I don't know if it's positive or negative?
No kid should have to go through that. He needs to get the out of Texas and stay as far away as possible.

I believe these incidents happened in Louisiana, but I'm not sure where Laplace is? I'm not that much into US geographic.
Yeah, the rumors have it happening in his hometown of LaPlace. Looks like it's about 30 miles west of New Orleans close to Lake Pontchartrain.
No idea if that whole story is true but I did see someone link an article about a 16-year old kid killed at a house party in that town.
