Worth mentioning that the father of DT Ross Blacklock played basketball for UT.
We need Oline and DT badly. Any good news there is most welcomed.
Update on OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite after his unofficial visit to Texas (24/7):
“My interest level in Texas has definitely gone up now that I got to talk to Coach (Charlie) Strong face to face and see how the coaches coach from a camp standpoint,” Delance said. “Getting to talk to all the guys (members of the team) really helped to. You know, Texas is about to take off.”
“I had great conversations with Coach Strong, Coach (Joe) Wickline and Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary),” Delance said. “I spent a lot of time with DeAndre and Malik. I got to hang out with Charles, too. They told me this is the place to be. It was really fun, and I’ll be back to chill with them again soon.”
“Coach Strong let me know that this is the place for me,” Delance said. “He said he really wants me up here as a part of the program. He couldn’t stress that enough. He talked to my mom and told us that I would be a big get for the program.”
“She (Delance's mother) loves Coach Strong,” Delance said. “He talked to her personally, so she likes him. She said he’s one of the best coaches she’s talked to. She’s in my ear about everything, so she plays the biggest role in my recruitment.”
DE Rahssan Thornton of Killeen Shoemaker discusses finally getting that UT offer (24/7):
“I’m pretty excited, I’ve been coming here since 9th grade,” Thornton said. “I’m pretty familiar with the place, the coaches and players. It’s already like a second home.”
“Coach Strong is basically like my dad,” Thornton said. “That’s who he specifically reminds me of. He preached that he was going to make me into a man and help me mature. I look forward to that type of stuff.”
“I’m not going to be home for my dad to talk with me,” Thornton said. “He’s matured me as much as he could before he sends me off to college. And these guys really, really do a lot of stuff like that, I can tell.”
“It made me think a lot,” Thornton said. “But I’m just going to have to wait this one out.”
Quotes from 2017 RB JK Dobbins of La Grange (24/7):
“My coach actually called Coach Haley, and somehow a discussion of an offer was brought up,” Dobbins said. “My coach told me to call Coach Haley, and he told me I had an offer from Texas. It was unbelievable. I was caught off guard.”
“I went up there with my mom, and we talked to Coach (Charlie) Strong and Coach (Tommie) Robinson,” Dobbins said. “They were both very genuine. Coach Strong told me that he really liked me and wanted me to be at Texas. He said I’m a very special talent.”
“Texas is my favorite right now,” Dobbins said. “I love everything, man. The reason it’s at the top of my list is because of the tradition, and the fact that Coach Strong has the program on the right path. I also know he can help me develop and get me where I need to be.”
A basically unknown name Scout was talking up yesterday after camp is WR Tamrick Pace of Brownsboro.
They even went as far as saying he could be receiving an offer soon:

One of you rich dudes buy this and we'll have SpursTalk tailgates:
After committing to LSU, DE Erick Fowler of Manor told Baylor's 24/7 site that he will take unofficial visits to Baylor and UT soon.
Per 24/7, OL Tope Imade was a surprise visitor at camp yesterday.
He said Coach Wickline had him working mostly at guard and that's what he plans on playing in college.
FYI Texas' QB camp starts today and will run through Wednesday.
Two potential offers here, imo...
2017 DE Alexander Duke (Bellaire)
2017 DE Ondario Robinson (Hutto)
Reminder that OL Denzel Okafor (Lewisville), 2017 LB Anthony Hines (Plano East) and 2017 LB Loren Monday (Dallas Bishop Dunne) will be on campus today.
Also, WR Tre Nixon of Melbourne, FL will be back in Austin with his mother to see Strong and staff.
