I have no idea where these reports of OU being Benenoch's #1 choice are coming from, but here's this:

Caleb Benenoch ‏CalebBenenoch79

Kent Perkins, world's leanest 300 pounder. Gerry Hamilton projects him as a guard... Come on Gerry.

[TFloss32]

Malcom Brown ‏@malcombrown_90 I didn't come here to sit on the bench

And he won't. He and Moore are going to help make that DL be so nasty.

Reporters at the hotel said Perk and five-star DE Kenny Bigelow from USC were the most physically impressive guys that came through.

Bigelow is 17 years old, and he should scare the out of all of us. Tevin Jackson's Rivals picture fears Bigelow's picture.

USC should contend this year, and they're recruiting at a high level. They're back, at least for one more year.

New 2014 name on the radar. LB Kain Daub of Ponte Vedra, FL is taking an unofficial visit to Texas in July. Big kid.

[the chronic]

Prevot supposedly looking pretty good so far, but only weighted in at 200 lbs even today.

[the chronic]

Kain Daub ILB from Florida will be visiting Texas in July - this guy will be a 5-star, 247 has him as 6th overall best player for 2014 class.

I just read a report on 24/7 that he actually hasn't been in touch with the UT staff yet but he's coming into town for events related to the International Bowl held in Austin every year. Many of the prospects will be staying in the UT dorms while in town. You would think it's illegal because it could be a recruiting advantage for Texas but it's not because the NCAA considers this an international compe ion. TE Durham Smythe will be in town as well as he will be playing in the game next year.

The International Bowl being in Austin is an opportunity, I hope the staff uses within the rules.

Random fact I just read. DeCarlos Holmes, the former head coach of DE Torshiro Davis, is now the defensive coordinator at St. Augustine HS in New Orleans, LA. This is the high school of 2014 RB Leonard Fournette. Holmes was the one who drove Fournette to Atlanta this weekend for the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge. Fournette was scheduled to attend one of UT's summer camps but was unable to make it. He says he doesn't know much about the program at this point but he is planning on making a trip to Austin in the future.

2014 RB Leonard Fournette

[TFloss32]

Fournette looks like a darker version of Bergeron.

[DMX7]

RSJ should play TE. He would be like J. Finley.

[the chronic]

RSJ with 3 long TD receptions from Swoopes so far today.

[shyne]

RSJ with 3 long TD receptions from Swoopes so far today.

Ya he really picked it up in the second game, looks like he got into a good rhythm. Once he gets the proper coaching and continues to work on his mechanics I think the sky is the limit.

[TFloss32]

RSJ with 3 long TD receptions from Swoopes so far today.

Excellent news for both players. I felt like they would both do better in a game setting. Keep the updates coming if you're watching the live feed.

I work with a Bama grad, and a LSU alumnus. We talk football regularly, St. Augustine is a big recruiting high school for both programs. I believe the St. Augustine HC has a prior relationship with Saban. I smell a recruiting war brewing in New Orleans.

I mean this politely as possible, Fournette is a hail mary. I respect Major for trying, but the kid is going to go Bama or LSU.

I believe Texas' only Southeast recruiting excursions should be along the I -20 corridor in Louisiana. Texas can and has won recruiting battles there. It could take Big 12 expansion in the Southeast to establish a recruiting foot print.

[billfromlaketravis]

Great pics Floss. Thanks.

[DesignatedT]

Kyrion Parker has now officially committed to TAMU.

[ThePop]

All signs point to Benenoch committing to Texas at this point. Any idea when he wants to make his decision?
