2nd 07 Basketball recruit nearing???

I was reading Gregg Doyel's article from a few days ago and came across this jewel regarding top guard recruit Jerryd Bayless recruitment:

    "Bayless to Texas: He hasn't committed yet, but it's only a matter of time. Jerryd Bayless, one of the top guards in the class of 2007 and a no-brainer future NBA player, is expected to pick Texas after decommitting earlier this summer from Arizona. Coaches throughout the Southwest say they're barely bothering to recruit Bayless because they're that sure he's headed to the Longhorns."

This would be a huge boost to Rick Barnes' program.  Coupled with fellow five-star recruit Johnson's commit, Texas would be in good shape to lure other top-notch recruits.  We might not miss Kevin Durant too much after next year.
