Mike Roach keeps his own thread going
3. Texas strategically planned this weekend with these big names in an effort to create an exciting environment and get the ball rolling. They even added the spice of two mystery recruits when Marcel Southall and Isaiah Chambers made it in. It was a gamble to wait this long but it was extremely calculated. Texas knew they'd get one shot to get their big targets on campus and fire all the cannons. It's what you have to do coming off of a 5-7 season, but the Texas staff is recruiting in a way we haven't seen.
So with all that said I'll tell you a couple of things I'm hearing.
1. Texas got a silent commit today. It may not be announced for a bit but he's in the bag.
2. Reggie Hemphill tweeted that another was committed and I've spoken to one source who indicated a name that would be a gigantic win for Texas. I'm still working on more confirmation here.
3. There's some thought we could see a tidal wave of momentum from this weekend and if so we will look back at this as the moment that cemented a pretty stellar 2016 class. It's early and the excitement is flowing, but my phone is lighting up in a way it hasn't since the day Malik committed. It's times like these that make this job really fun. Stay tuned...

Wait. TCU flipped somebody named Garland? What position was he being recruited at? And how will this affect us in the final recruiting rankings?
Reggie Hemphill - "The love they're showing us is ridiculous."
Stephon Taylor - "What's better than a great coaching staff?" Taylor added that he's blown away by how big UT is and how great the environment is.
Zach Shackelford - "The fans are crazy. People (are) calling my name out at the basketball game. The other commits are cool. This place is special."
Malcolm Roach - "I'm having a great time. I love it down here!"
Gerald Wilbon - "I can say that I can't wait until I'm officially a Longhorn. I feel I will become a family with this team. It's an outstanding school and it gives me options to be successful."

Did you notice Shackelford's quote? He says "the other commits". Does this sound like he is including himself?
