Tons of talent headed in for the Rice game (Updated with a big visitor)

[Mike Roach]

Texas looks to bounce back from a pretty bad week against Rice in the home opener. Fortunately the staff has a large group of talented recruits heading in to visit. The most important development I can see is that both Shane Buechele and Sam Ehlinger will be on campus this weekend. This gives the coaching staff an opportunity to get face to face with their two future signal callers and ease any concerns they might have. It also gives the two a chance to get acquainted with one another. We will update this list as we get more information, but for now this is the group expected in Austin for the game.

Also just got word from Daiquain Jackson that he'll be there too

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Jalen Mayden - QB - Sachse

I've heard some good things about this one. He should be pretty highly ranked by the time he's a senior.

And he's very high on Texas from what I know.

Based on what I'm reading, there should be plenty of seats available for extended family, friends, and entourage to attend on Saturday too!

Updated the list with a few more names. Also, I'm told by a source on the Ennis staff that our number 1 ranked OL in the state for 2017 Trendon Rolen was invited to Austin this weekend. We are waiting to hear back on if he will attend.

 

[BevoBlake]

Hopefully Norvell has our offense rolling this weekend so these recruits have something to be excited about.

 

[Jon Nemec]

Maybe that recruit that told Strong he's excited to see the new offense won't be as disappointed this game.. 

 

[mctmatt]

Where is the Beef!!!!  I see only one Offensive Lineman on that list... I want Offensive Lineman...then we just need a QB who can manage the game and if that QB gets hurt another one can come in and manage the game.  It is all about the Offensive Lineman  trust me they are the key to victory as we can all see right now. 

 

[mctmatt]

My bad I see we have 4 Offensive Lineman on the list....."That is not enough" !

 

[Mike Roach]

Just made contact with a coach who tells me JK Dobbins of LaGrange will visit this weekend.

 

[Mike Roach]

New update. As reported by Justin Wells of Inside Texas, Lagaryonn Carson of Liberty Eylau will be in attendance. Carson is an elite 2017 prospect.
