Graham is now visiting TCU next weekend and OU the 27th. Gonna' be a nail biter to the end. Let's Herman can hold onto him.

They are trying to squash him making those visits, but I'm not sure that is going to happen.

Saw QB Ryan Burns to grad

transfer from Stanford. Not sure if Herman is exploring grad transfers at this time but as always we look at all angles here at Hornsports! Any intel on this dude?

 

[HORNfromETX]

LB Gary Johnson moved up his visit to Texas this weekend. It would be nice to get him to shut everything down after he visits.

Agree.  His signing will or should free Malik

The Dead Period is over today

Coaches hitting the trail

- Washington and Giles to see the Moore brothers (9am this morning)

- Warehime to see Cade Brewer and OL Brenden Jaimes. In-home with OL Stephan Zabie (Westlake) later

- Orlando in-home with Gary Johnson tonight

- Mehringer to see Omar Manning

- Naivar to see 2018 S Cam Jones (Euless Trinity) -- offer likely

 

[Juan]

Whoever the top rated RB's are nationally in the 2018 class need to be introduced to Mr. Drayton.

I can't wait to see who Herman sends Drayton after.

And now we probably know who he likes best.  Drayton follows 11 accounts on twitter -- all but two who are Texas coaches or AD folks.  The other two are Ezekiel Elliott and RB Lorenzo Lingard of University High School in Orange County, Florida.

5-star/#2 RB overall.

Rumblings out there we have a shot at flipping Derrick Tucker (aggy commit)

I have always liked the idea of us bringing in high rated JUCOs to fill gaps, especially with the first year a coaching change, where the new guy will be behind on his first recruiting class.  But we have never pursued this very hard.  The reason always given being the difficulty transferring into UT-Austin.

Anyways, highly rated JUCO Gary Johnson is bringing his mom to Austin this weekend.

And highly rated JUCO Larrell Murchison is bringing both parents.  We have only been recruting him for 3 weeks.  He has 2 years of elg remaining.

--- "My parents are coming with me and things that I would like to see are just to be able to meet the players and ask them questions about the school side of things and that sort. And also meeting other people from the area. And to just enjoy which I'm pretty sure I am going to do."

I thought the knock on him was he is a non-qualifier?

That's the rumor.  But Herman has been looking into him for some time.  We will see.
