LSU has offered LB Otaro Alaka.
Update on OL Terrell Cuney after Saturday's Junior Day (OrangeBloods):
"The highlight was that all the people there love their team," Cuney said. "And the coaches are really cool. And the place looked great."
"I met Mack Brown a while back in Jasper, so it wasn't my first time," Cuney said. "And getting the offer was jus a blessing. Words can't describe that feeling."
"They're standing No. 1 on my list still," Cuney said shortly after his Texas visit concluded.
"I plan on committing wherever I'm going before the football season," Cuney said.
"The practice was awesome. The OL/DL went at it all day and they all did great to me," Cuney said.
LSU has offered LB Otaro Alaka.
Baylor has offered DT Trey Lealaimatafao of San Antonio Warren.
Ed Paris committed to LSU. Has been LSU all the way since day one, he was offered his freshman year by them. He plays in Texas but is originally from the state of Louisiana. Said that in the end he will take all five official visits.
Inside Texas confirmed this morning that S Jamal Adams will be visiting Austin this weekend. According to the same report, another prospect could be on campus as well.
Surely Texas knew this all along but I'm glad it's official now.
Perroni247: Even though Edward Paris likely still committing to #LSU today, he has NOT done so yet, despite newspaper reports to the contrary.
Looks like Texas has offered LB Otaro Alaka.
Don't understand why we waited two days, tbh.
where did you see this?? Good news nevertheless. edit: just saw it on OB. wow!! great news but still a head scratcher. Maybe we were just waiting for an SEC team to offer to confirm that he was good enough??
The Internetz wasn't happy. Glad they woke up.
EricNahlin: An offer went out on Saturday to an OOS player nobody even knew was on campus (at least that I know of). Who?
TE Anthony Jones from Louisiana. Could be the next commit.

Alabama and LSU have already offered 8th grader Dylan Moses a scholarship
Moses is 6-0, 205 pounds as a 14-year-old and has a 34” vertical with a 4.4 40.
(sorry if this has already been posted...link includes video)
him pushing that kid over
I'm betting he gets even bigger and winds up a DE.
Quotes from TE Anthony Jones of New Orleans, LA (OrangeBloods):
"I really enjoyed the campus, loved the coaches there. It was a great environment to be around," Jones said. "I'm really cool with coach (Bruce) Chambers, I talked to coach (Larry) Porter and I talked to coach Mack Brown. "
"This was my first time meeting them. I had done my research on them and I had talked to coach Chambers on the phone before," Jones said. "It was great. I went into Mack Brown's office and talked. I was just happy to be a part of it at the University of Texas."
"They like my body style since I'm 6-6. They said I have great hands and good speed for a guy my size," Jones said. "They said I'd be a flex out tight end for them."
"I like Texas more than Louisville though," he said.
"I'm going to make a decision in the spring time," Jones said. "I'm just going to talk it over with my parents and my coach. I want to have it out of the way."
Update on LB Otaro Alaka after he received his Texas offer yesterday (24/7):
“He (Oscar Giles) told me they met as a staff [Monday] morning and decided to offer me,” Alaka said. “He passed the phone to Coach (Mack) Brown then to Coach (Manny) Diaz.”
“I don't hold it against them (not offering at the Junior Day),” Alaka said. “They told me they were going to be taking things slowly. It just came up in the staff meeting that they decided to offer me. That's all that really matters.”
“I don't really have a list of favorites,” Alaka said. “They're (Texas) at the top of the choices I have.”
“I like the balance between academics and the football program,” Alaka said.
“It helps a little (that Texas has a history with Nigerian players),” Alaka said. “There must be a reason they all went there because it turned out to be a great fit.”
“He (Alaka's father) gets back Saturday morning,” Alaka said. “I'll probably talk to him Saturday night.”
“It makes me think about it a little bit (that Texas already has one LB commitment),” Alaka said. “That's the main thing I want to talk to my dad about is when I want to make decision."
"My initial time frame was to wait until after spring football at the end of May,” he added. “I want to talk to my dad about what he thinks.”
It's now official that RB Ke'aun Kinner won't qualify for a Texas scholarship. He had a second chance with his ACT score but came up short again. He will be attending Navarro College in Corsicana.
WR KD Cannon talks about the Texas Junior Day (24/7):
“He (Darrell Wyatt) and Coach Mack Brown both sat me down in the office and told me about the receivers they're recruiting and the quarterbacks they're recruiting,” Cannon said. “It was a great talk. He basically said he wants me to be there to try and take Mike Davis' spot when he leaves.”
“They run kind of what we run at my school and what I'm used to,” Cannon said. “They'll use more four-wide looks and use a faster tempo. I like that.”
“That was my favorite thing was watching the offense,” Cannon said. “The practice atmosphere was good. They have great players and coaches at Texas and I liked that everyone was real respectful on the field.”
“It was about what I expected,” Cannon said. “I wanted to look at the new offense because I'd already seen the campus and met the coaches. I saw what I wanted to see."
“The visit helped Texas' chances with me,” he added. “Every receiver wants to go to a school where they'll get the ball.”
“I know he's (Jerrod Heard) going there and that's good to know,” Cannon said. “Every receiver wants to go to a place where they know they'll have a big-time quarterback throwing them the ball.”
“I think the city makes the school seem bigger than it is,” Cannon said. “When you walk around campus everything is really right there, you're just putting this college in the middle of this big city. It's not a problem for me.”
CB Jermaine Roberts of New Orleans, LA has picked up an Alabama offer.
DE Solomon Thomas will be in Austin this weekend, per HornsNation.
Update on OL Jovan Pruitt after missing Texas' Junior Day (24/7):
“This last weekend I didn’t get to go to their junior day because I made a bad decision,” Pruitt told Hookem.com. “Since that happened, I’m working on taking a trip there sometime soon. I plan to make it down for the spring game and also go do another one of their summer camps like I did last year.”
“I haven’t spoken to them yet,” said Pruitt. “But I’ve definitely been trying. I’ve tried to get in contact with Coach (Bruce) Chambers and Coach (Stacy) Searels. So far I haven’t been able to reach them. I’m still working on getting in touch.”
“Texas is a school I’m definitely interested in,” he explained. “They are one of the schools sticking out to me. It’s them, Alabama, Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech."
“I’ve been offered by all of them except Texas. I got the Alabama offer earlier this week, Oklahoma offered in January, Baylor offered me at their junior day and Tech offered me a couple of weeks ago. So I’m hoping it all works out when I go down to Texas. It would mean a lot,” Pruitt added.
“I still look highly upon the football program down there,” Pruitt said. “I like their tradition and how big of a legacy they are. Over the last few years they might not have been as good as they're used to being, but I know Mack Brown will get them back into the BCS rankings real soon. They’ll be contenders again in no time.”
Per his Twitter, LSU has offered DE Derick Roberson.
Florida has offered WR Armanti Foreman of Texas City. Supposedly a childhood favorite of his.
