We talked about him a little bit a few weeks ago, but this likely tells us that Texas doesn't have him as high as others.

Update on five-star WR Kaliq Lockett (247):

“Me and Coach (Chris) Jackson, we have a great relationship,” the Sachse standout told Horns247 at Under Armour Houston. “We talk on the phone every week or every other week. And I have a great relationship with Coach Sark and Coach (Tashard) Choice. And I also have a good relationship with one of the players, Johntay Cook, we both played on the same team with Texas Flex.”

“Going back to me and Coach Jackson’s relationship, when he was back in Jacksonville, he was coaching the best of the best at wide receiver,” Lockett said of what has Texas in the mix. “With him having guys in the wide receiver room like Ryan Wingo, Isaiah Bond, Johntay Cook II, Deandre Moore, Jr. The list goes on. Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that receiver room and get developed by one of the best receiver coaches in college football.”

“I’ll have my decision made by August,” he said.

“Definitely a family feel and development-wise (are factors in my decision),” he said. “I’m really big on family. It’s going to be hard to leave when I go to college. I need a second home when I go off to college, people that are going to accept me in.”

He clarified today that Texas is still recruiting Rink, but he claims that Texas is lower on his list now due to the departure of Coach Davis.

I don't think either side is in love with the other at this time.

Per IT, Texas is recruiting DT DJ Sanders of Bellville hard right now.

After yesterday's Pro Day at Texas, Coach Baker and T'Vondre Sweat got on a video chat with him, and Baker has become much more involved recently helping Sark in this one.

He should be taking a spring unofficial and a summer official to Texas.
