Congratulations to Johntay Cook for being returned to 5-star status

and Cedric Baxter for getting his fifth star in the latest rankings.

Texas now has three 5-stars.

Malik Mohammad and Derek Williams are on the cusp of being five stars, missing the cut off by a few points. Mohammad and Williams have identical rankings.

Also perused the 24/7 updates. Hill and McDonald are 100% to Texas.

Toriano 83-17 % LSU- Texas. McDonald as really risen in rankings up to around #26

texbound hope you are right on your picks although I see no needfor a DT at present time.

 although I see no needfor a DT at present time.

I don't really see it either, but the UT staff sure is/was working on Pierce and Benton.  So, they see/know something.  Maybe it was in case Spencer flipped.

Say whatever you want about this staff, but these seem to know how to evaluate kids and have an eye for talent.  I see at least 3 potentially in this class that were "lower ranked" that have really taken off in their Sr. years (Lefau, McDonald and Walton).

Niblett says he's locked in.

IT mentioned the staff is trying to get WR DeAndre Moore, Jr. on campus this weekend, and they're being told it wouldn't be a surprise if he shows.

Per IT, the staff is also attempting to get WR Kyle Parker of Lucas Lovejoy on campus this weekend.

He and his family were sitting with the family of WR Johntay Cook II last weekend at the DeSoto/Denton Guyer game, and Coach Marion made sure to speak with all of them.

Coach Marion and Parker have been speaking every day since.

IT expects CB Javien Toviano of Arlington Martin to pick LSU tomorrow, but said A&M and Texas have continued to chip away.

Some DL notes from IT...

- the staff is expected to go by Houston C.E. King on Thursday to see DE Dylan Spencer.

- it's currently 50/50 that Sark will do an in-home with DT Justin Benton.

Keep in mind the Texas picks for McDonald could be dated.

TCU has had momentum with him recently and his father played there.

Let's go, Niblett!

 

[TFloss32]

TE Ka'Morreun Pimpton of North Crowley will be in Austin this weekend for an official, according to IT.

Agree I take a lot of recruiting as click bait now days. Never count recruits till they sign. And then only around 95%.

Its not like the old days

IT saying DT Trey Pierce of Chicago, IL won't be in Austin this weekend.

He's no longer an option.

Ok this was a weird one for me, but IT said that there may not be room for him in this class..
