Some quotes from OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite (24/7):

“Me and Malik (Jefferson) are really good friends,” Delance said. “He’s just been telling me that he loves Texas and that it feels like home. He keeps telling me to go hang out with him and check out how the coaches run things. I’m definitely going to do that this summer.”

“I saw those NFL numbers, and there is no question Coach Strong is going to do that at Texas, especially if he keeps landing four- and five-stars,” Delance said. “I know I won’t be too worried about making it to the NFL if I go to Texas.”

Quotes from TE Donte Coleman of West Mesquite after Coach Norvell attended his practice (24/7):

“Texas was a big offer for me,” Coleman said. “It’s just a big program with the history and Charlie Strong and what he’s doing there. I’m still learning more about them and how they use their tight ends in their offense.”

“Coach Traylor and I keep in touch,” Coleman said. “We’re building a pretty good relationship, so I’m asking him questions and things like that. He’s recruiting me hard. I like him”

“I’m 100 percent committed to Texas Tech,” Coleman said. “Colleges have come out to talk to me and offer me, and I listen to what they have to say. But at the end of the day, I know where my heart is at.”

that's a relief.

I think Jace Amaro going first round is where this dude's head is at.

DT Ed Oliver of Spring Westfield has committed to Houston.

More notes from the road (24/7):

-Coach Robinson was in the Golden Triangle today to see RB Devwah Whaley (Beaumont Central) and RB Kameron Martin (Port Arthur Memorial).

-after Coach Watson saw 2017 QB Jaylon Mascorro (Refugio) throw, an offer should be coming in the "near future."

-a staff member checked on ATH Grayland Arnold (Kountze) today.

-2017 LB Baron Browning (Kennedale) was offered by Ohio State.

Gentlemen-

For those that care, the front page is completely updated with all of the new offers if you're trying to catch up.

Update on WR Dee Anderson after being dismissed from the West Mesquite football team (24/7):

"I talked to them (Texas) about the situation, and they said they are going to stay with me,” Anderson said. “Texas is coming at me hard. You know, I’ve been up there for a visit and I like the atmosphere and everything up there.”

“I like Coach Norvell a lot,” Anderson said. “He’s nice. He is a real players coach, so that’s what I really like about him. We usually talk every week or every other week, so we keep in contact and are building a good relationship.”

“I’m a solid with LSU right now,” he said. “I’m just going through the process and seeing what the coaches have to say.”

Some LSU coaches are supposed to meet with the West Mesquite coaches.

So would this be info gathering or trying to change the W.Mesquite coaches position about not signing the release allowing him to play elsewhere as a UIL player, or even let him have another shot at that school?
If they keep their commitment to the kid does this not mean they think the kid really did not do anything they could not fix? He must have been given warnings, coaches are usually quite liberal with the famous secondthirdfourthfifth chance with stellar players.

And after the Floss update I would like to know why we can't get some Oline commits? ATM seems to be the pipeline to the NFL in this area. And thanks for the update Floss, but referring to folks on this board as gentlemen... very diplomatic.

Update on DE Brandon Bowen of Trophy Club Byron Nelson (24/7):

“I’m interested in Texas,” Bowen said. “I know Charlie Strong really pushes his kids. Texas has a good defensive line, and I know he can push me to become a better player. He can get me to the next level. I look at his NFL development and the academics at Texas, and I’m impressed.”

“While I was down there, I only got to stay in the track area,” Bowen said. “I want to go back this summer. I love Charlie Strong and how he does his work. So I want to get to meet him and sit down with him to talk about the program. I want to get a good look at everything.”

OL Tope Imade from Arlington Bowie talks about receiving a UT offer (24/7):

“Coach Wickline called me and said that they were going to go ahead and offer me,” Imade said. “I was so happy. I was shocked, really. I just said wow to myself. It’s just hard to explain.”

“Right now, it’s even,” Imade said. “I’m going to talk to my dad about it and narrow things down. But I really like Texas. I like the academics and the program as a whole. I also like their history of Nigerian players like Brian Orakpo.”

“I like Coach Wickline,” Imade said. “I think he’s a funny guy, and that’s what I need in a college coach. He said if I go to Texas, he expects me to work hard and be a bad ass.”
