IT mentioned today that RB Jerrick Gibson and OL Daniel Calhoun are "very close" friends.

They'll be taking at least three official visits together, including Texas at the end of June.

Kansas?

Texas offered less than a month ago, so my guess is they weren't seriously pursuing or Kamara was already too far along with other schools.

The On3 prediction percentage has us currently as the highest chance to land him.

IT had a little info on him today and they said he's interested in Texas, but doesn't appear to be a fan of the recruiting process overall so it can be hard to read him.

He has some OK State ties, but they didn't make his Top 10.

“I’ve heard a lot about the (Texas) facilities and the coaching staff,” Okoye tells Inside Texas. “I want to see if it lives up to the hype. I also want to hear how they think I would fit into the defensive scheme and how they would build my NFL potential.”

Just read some comments from Colin Simmons about each of the 6 schools he has interest in. Based on those comments, it sounds like Texas is the low man on the totem pole. 

Still appears to be LSU vs. Texas.

The common theme lately is NIL will have a big impact here.

On3 is holding a recruiting event in Nashville this week.

Hamilton of IT says there is talk up there that Manning is making a pretty good recruiting pitch to five-star WR Ryan Wingo of St. Louis, MO about life on and off the field in Austin.

His official to Texas is on June 17th.

This guy is hardly the typical size for a TE. He is 6'2, 220, so smallish for the college game.

However, he has proven himself against the best (Mater Dei), showed up big on the big stage.

But we've had WRs bigger than this guy.

Baker plans on getting back to Texas before making a decision, and had this to say:

“Offensive line play, development, the coaching staff. They have Kelvin Banks, Devon Campbell, a couple five-stars from the 2022 class that are all great people. Coach Flood is a guy for sure who has been down from ‘Bama and coached a ton of guys. That’s something I didn’t really know until I got down there.”

Hopefully a few future Longhorns in this one.

Hamilton at IT added the staff is trying to get Baker to Austin for June 17th.

The thought right now is he will be choosing from Ohio State, Oregon or Texas.

Simmons, Gibson and Wingo (in that order) are interviewed here.
