I can't even take recruiting seriously anymore. No one is "committed" until they actually sign in my book.
Per HornsNation, WR Garrett Gray of Marble Falls were at Texas yesterday at the open practice. He described the practice as "very impressive". He has recently been in contact with Applewhite and he could be a potential late bloomer. He is 6'4, 205lbs and runs a 4,43 40-yard dash. 81 receptions, 1,205 yards and 20 touchdowns.

2014 JUCO WR prospect D'haquille Williams said 5 schools "standout," including Auburn and Aggy after visiting the plains this weekend. Okie St, Bama, and LSU are the other 3. Also holds offers from TTech, FSU, and Miami
Last season at MGCCC, Williams notched 67 receptions for 1,295 yards and 17 touchdowns in 11 games. He's 6'3", 213
Jamal Adams at his visit
It's only a matter of time
I saw Derrick Roberson today at target that dude is massive.
Nederland DT DeShawn Washington has committed to A&M.
Sumner-Gardner is not a surprise, but losing Washington is brutal.
Fuuuuuurk!!! Not Washington!! This one stings.
Quotes from an anonymous source on DE Solomon Thomas' visit to Texas on Saturday (24/7):
“He told me that the visit went very well,” the source explained. “I know he enjoyed the more personal setting. Visiting with the coaches and talking with Coach (Oscar) Giles were the two things he really mentioned besides watching practice. He left impressed with Texas.”
“He’s still very high on them,” the source said. “They need to show him something this season though.”
Quotes from the father of S Jamal Adams (24/7):
“The idea of when he will commit to a school has come up, as you would expect, and it’s something we have discussed in detail,” explained Mr. Adams. “I told him to take his time, enjoy it for right now, and just let it be. Jamal says he wants to enjoy his senior year and not worry about when he has to make a decision.”
“We’re not going to play recruiting games,” he told Hookem.com. “I’m not into that crap and I’m not going to let my son be either. I’m not going to have Jamal pick a school then come to me and say ‘oh Dad I think I like so and so better’, then start this whole long process that kids these days like to do. That’s not happening. Once he commits somewhere, that’s it. That will be all she wrote. He’s not going to be jumping around from school to school. I raised him where his word is the most important thing he has. He’s not going back on his word once he gives it to a school.”
“We’re going to go to Ole Miss, back to Oklahoma, Florida for sure, possibly to Texas A&M and some other places,” Adams said. “He'll be running in the Texas Relays, so we'll be in Austin for that and we'll take another visit to UT. We're hoping to see the spring game actually.”
Latest with CB/S John Bonney of Houston Lamar (24/7):
“I wouldn't say there's something keeping me from it (committing to Texas),” Bonney said. “I haven't had a chance to look at all of the schools I want to see.”
“I grew up a Texas fan,” Bonney said. “I used to go to a game every year. My dad would drive me up there. It's a great school academically. There's nothing wrong with Texas and it's always been a place I've liked.”
“My mom wants me to go to the best school academically,” Bonney said. “She's an alum of LSU and she's a little biased but she likes Texas and the other schools. My dad is looking at more of a football situation with the scheme and finding the right fit.”
“I don't have a No. 1 school per se,” Bonney said. “I'm trying to narrow it down, but Texas would be a really good choice for me.”
Quotes from LB Otaro Alaka after his visit to College Station (24/7):
“I visited College Station on Saturday and it went well,” Alaka said. “I really had a good time and had fun. I enjoyed getting to see everything, but really liked watching them practice the most.”
“They were both sort of similar,” explained Alaka. “For me though, I would say that Texas’ junior day probably stood out to me more than Texas A&M’s did. I liked it a little more.”
“Texas is still my number one school,” he told Hookem.com. “My top five is Texas, then Texas A&M, Oklahoma, California and then LSU. I’d like to choose from one of them before the end of March I think. That’s probably what will happen.”
“The Longhorns are recruiting me really hard right now,” said Alaka. “For someone else to be my top school will be tough. They would have to show me a lot more interest since Texas is showing me the most and has been showing the most.”
Latest with DT Cedric Johnson of Rowlett (24/7):
“Right now Baylor is my number one,” said Johnson. “Then it is Tulsa, LSU and Oklahoma. That’s my top four at the moment.”
“I went to watch them practice on Saturday. I liked it a lot. I like how fun the practice was and how fun the coaches made it. Honestly, I liked it a tad better than what I saw when I was at Texas. They had a much more positive at ude that they came out with. They played music that set the mood right and it was just a lot of fun,” Johnson explained.
“I’m still very interested in them (Texas),” Johnson said. “I would want to visit the campus again first though. I would also want to spend a lot more time with Coach (Bo) Davis. That would be the biggest thing for me. I’d like some more one-on-one time with him and have the chance to get to know him better. If those two things happened, I think they would be in my top list of schools again. But I would definitely need those two things to happen first.”
“I’m looking at the possibility of making a decision after the spring,” he told Hookem.com. “That’s a maybe on that. Nothing is set yet, but that might be when I do it.”
According to 24/7, Texas A&M is now the leader for DE Jarrett Johnson of Katy Seven Lakes.

Not many days ago someone, on Shaggy, posted from the 24/7 A&M site, that Texas and A&M were tied as the leader for Johnson. I guess that's how quickly things can change.
it'll probably be par for the course, esp for defensive players unless Diaz pulls some out of nowhere this year.
Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. He's telling both sides positive things. Definitely up in the air.Last week, it seemed like Cy Falls outside linebacker Otaro Alaka was a lock to commit to Texas.
But when comes to recruiting things can change in an instant as Alaka learned when he picked up an offer from Texas A&M at junior day this weekend.
“Coach (Kevin) Sumlin came up and talked to me. He extended the offer, and I was really excited,” Alaka said. “He said he would love to have me. I spoke to my parents about it, and they were also really happy about the new opportunity for me.”
A Rivals.com four-star prospect, Alaka has dreams of developing into the next Damontre Moore and couldn’t help but envisioning himself in an Aggie uniform during his time in College Station.
“When I watched them practice, I kept picturing myself playing there. I paid close attention to the linebacker drills and really liked what I saw,” Alaka said. “Coach (Marcel) Yates and Coach (Mark) Hagen said they really liked my film and feel I could be a great player for them”
Although the two schools no longer play each other on the gridiron, Texas and Texas A&M will have an old fashioned shootout on the recruiting trail this month.
Alaka plans to make his decision by the end of March and although he says California, LSU and Oklahoma are still in the race, it’s clear these former rivals are ahead of the pack.
“Both are really good schools. I know Texas A&M is doing some great things in the SEC and it would be a great place to play,” he said. “I really enjoyed my time at Texas too. Coach (Manny) Diaz told me he really liked me and wanted me to play for him. It was a really good environment.”
Wow!!! Is he really that dumb?
Florida State has offered RB/FB Daniel Gresham.
