Texas Recruiting 2013: Junior Day Invites

[Update]: This list will continue to grow and change over the coming days, so I'm going to go ahead and just update this post whenever a new name emerges. The most recent additions will be in bold. --GoBR--

Even though the Longhorns aren't yet finished with 2012 recruiting with Dorial Green-Beckham and Mario Edwards still on board, as well as the decision still looming whether the staff wants to pursue a replacement in the class for the de-committed Thomas Johnson, the quick turnaround after Signing Day for the February 12th Junior Day means that the names are the prospects who will be attending the single biggest recruiting event for the 2013 class are starting to trickle out.

As usual, none of these players have been officially offered yet, but odds are high that nearly every one will receive an offer if they do indeed make it to campus. The question then becomes which of those players will commit during that weekend and if that number is closer to the four commitments secured last year or the 13 secured the year before.

Here's the current list of confirmed invites:

TexasSports.com announced today that the Longhorn Network will air 32 Longhorn baseball games this spring, beginning with the Alumni Game on Saturday. It appears that the only home game left off the schedule would be the April 28th game against Texas A&M which may be indicative of a national broadcast on another network. This is great news if you have the Longhorn Network, although if you're reading this blog then the chances are you do not have LHN. Even more good news for the half dozen or so of us with the LHN is that BON contributor Cat Osterman will serve as an analyst for Texas softball games broadcast on LHN.

Less than a month till first pitch!

Former 'Horns Prepare For NFL With Postseason All-Star Games

The high school all-star game season may be finished with the exception of the International Bowl in Austin on National Signing Day, but it's just getting in to full swing for former Longhorns prepping for the NFL Draft in April.

Offensive lineman David Snow and safety Blake Gideon competed in the East-West Shrine game last weekend, while linebackers Keenan Robinson and Emmanuel Acho are currently in Mobile along with defensive tackle Kheeston Randall preparing for the Senior Bowl. Fullback Cody Johnson was slated for the East-West game as well, but was unable to participate.

The games are important measuring sticks for evaluators, who get accurate measurements of height and weight and a chance to see the players in person in advance of the NFL Combine and school Pro Days in the spring.

For the two East-West Shrine game participants, one player elevated his stock, while the other probably hurt it with his performance.

Daje Johnson "About 90% Sure" He Will Commit To Texas

First the visit was on. Then it was off. Then it was on again, as local Austin product and TCU commit Daje Johnson vacillated between sticking with his nearly yearlong commitment to the Horned Frogs or following his heart to Texas.

And it certainly appears that Johnson's heart may lead him to stay in Austin, as the athlete who would likely start out as an all-purpose back at Texas told Orangebloods on Wednesday night that he is "about 90% sure" that he will flip his commitment and become a Longhorn on his official visit this weekend.

Bobby Petrino In-Home Visit With Dorial Green-Beckham Cancelled

A day before Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino was scheduled to make an in-home visit with mega recruit Dorial Green-Beckham, his father and head coach, John Beckham, revealed to CBSSports.com that a "situation" had occurred and that the visit was cancelled.

According to Beckham, the Hog head man and DGB "bumped into each other" at some point during the AFCA Coaches Convention, which was held in San Antonio this year at the same time the big wide receiver was in town participating in the Army All-American game. It's not clear when exactly the contact occurred -- it was either during a "dead" or "quiet" period that forbids in-person contact -- but Beckham did say that another school recruiting DGB reported the situation to the NCAA.

The CBS Sports report did not clarify why exactly the potential violation by Petrino would force the coach to cancel his in-home visit, but did seem to imply a direct connection. As for possible sanctions from the NCAA in the matter, if the contact was unintentional, as seems likely, it should not impact DGB's eligibility or result in sanctions against Arkansas, though it does generally help in such cases to self-report the issue, which apparently did not happen here.
