RB Christian Clark of Phoenix, AZ tells IT about his official visit to Texas:
“It was a lot of fun being able to spend more time with (Tashard) Choice and (Steve Sarkisian),” Clark told Inside Texas’ Gerry Hamilton. “They’re just great all-around people. I know my mom really liked them and my dad really liked them. It was just a great time all around.”
“She (Clark's mother) just knew Austin was a beautiful city,” Clark said. “She knew the platform it has. Texas, everybody loves it out in Austin. I think that’s just really what got her interested in the first place.”
“We’ve (Clark and Bijan) been talking sometimes,” Clark said. “He’s been telling me, of course, to go to Texas. Just seeing how they used him in the offense, how Coach Choice used them, and how he was able to do what he did. He went No. 8 in the draft.”
“Just the history of the whole program, history of backs and Heisman winners, the rich tradition,” Clark said.
“I could do a lot,” Clark said of Choice’s message. “I’m a different back. I could be used in the pass game and run game. Really, very similar to Bijan’s run style. He showed me Bijan’s film and my film together. It’s crazy.”
“Coach Choice is always going to keep it real,” Clark said of Brooks’ intel. “Great things about him. Great things about Coach Sark and the brotherhood of the whole team and the running back room, how close they are.”
“Ced’s (Baxter) been here for a few months and he already loves everything about it,” Clark said.
“Just trying to get through these visits then sit down with my family and have a talk about what’s next,” Clark said.

DT Malik Blocton of Pike Road, AL discusses his official visit to Texas with 247.
The plan right now is to make a commitment on July 8th between Auburn and Texas.
“It was amazing,” the Pike Road (Ala.) standout told Horns247. “It was amazing.”
“Texas, since January, Coach (Bo) Davis has been recruiting me real hard,” Blocton said. “I was just not going to look at Texas, but then when he told me that he was losing four guys this coming up year, and that he needs four more guys out of my class, it made me really take a deeper look at Texas. I could have the chance to come in play early.”
“The way Coach Davis said he was going to play me,” Blocton said. “He wasn’t going to let me stay at one position the whole game. He’s going to let me move around and play a lot of positions.”
“It’s definitely Coach Davis (DL coach he's closest with),” he replied.
“He (Sark) was just telling me that he really wanted me and that he can see me playing here,” Blocton said. “He was telling me about the culture behind Texas, the Red River Showdown, all that stuff.”
“I was just asking him (Alfred Collins) how Coach Davis coached,” Blocton said. “Because I know he was going to be nice to me, like since I’m being recruited and he wants me here. I asked him how he was on a day-to-day basis. He said he’s a tough coach, but he’s fun to be around. He’s going to expect a lot out of you, but he’s going to invest a lot into you.”
“It’s (distance from home) not a big deal at all,” he said. “My brother used to play at Kansas. She (my mom) used to drive to all his games. That was 12 hours away, too.”

We must be taking a big DB haul. Black, Gipson, Bridges, and Rubell would think are sure fire takes. And Suchomel put in a pick for Joshua Lair today.

Damn, I missed that.
Lair is one of my favorite players in this cycle, but figured the staff wouldn't have room even though he's a lot like Davis in that he's a long, fast striker.
Here's his film for anyone who hasn't watched.

Something to file away: at one point all the big three Duncanville guys (Simmons, Durham, Dotson) were projected to be LSU bound. Dotson has received a bunch of SMU picks this past week and now Durham is getting a run of OU picks on Rivals and On3.

He did, but only stayed there a week or so. He's back at DF from what I understand now. Maybe he didn't fit in well with the Carthage boys.

Quotes from DE Danny Okoye of Tulsa, OK (247):
“Man, it was great,” Okoye told Horns247. “Great experience. I’m still having flashbacks from all the awesome stuff that went on."
“Just interacting with the staff, talking with folks, hanging out with the players. Just seeing the family that they’ve built, really, and the potential they have coming into this next season and going on.”
“They’re trying to add me as a Buck,” Okoye said. “They just want to use every aspect of my athletic capabilities and all the potential that I have and build me not just as player, but as also as a human being. They want to form a relationship with me so that once I do start playing, maybe, the connection will already be there.”
“I like him (David Gbenda) a lot,” Okoye said. “We were really bonding. He was really informative and answered all my questions in great detail. Talking about like the daily schedule, what’s practice like, what it’s like on campus, what they do to relax and have fun, and what they do when it’s time for business. It was a really informative trip. It gave me a lot to think about.”
“I’m probably going to do it mid-fall, like probably October to November,” Okoye said of his commitment timeline. “Then I’ll sign in December and enroll in January.”
“Just really the way I fit and the way I connect with the players and coaches,” he said. “They’re all down-to-earth people. It’s an electric atmosphere I can really tap into and appreciate.”
“They definitely moved up on the charts after this weekend,” Okoye said. “I’m not going to say where to, but they’re definitely up there now.”
