in Texas Longhorns Recruiting

PrintAs of around 10:30 am CT, no news to report in terms of commitments, not a surprise since so few offers will go out and not many commitments are even expected this weekend, probably no more than half of the eight from last year at the second Junior Day.
However, there is some news -- Jeff Howe is reporting that Daniel Lasco and James Castleman will not be attending the Junior Day. On the positive side for Texas, Matthew Hegarty and Quandre Diggs were in town on Friday evening to take in the first spring practice and Kendall Thompson and Garrett Greenlea are both confirmed as attending. In other words, the two most important players at the Junior Day got to watch practice and spend some time around the team and the third and fourth most important attendees will be in town. Perhaps that's not a surprise, but it's good news for the four players most likely to receive offers.

Hegarty
Looks like he had some nice things to say about the practice last night. I don’t think we wrap up his recruitment tonight but things are looking good with him.
His parents purchased the tickets for this junior day before they even knew if his basketball schedule would allow it.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
GoBR, whats your feeling on Greenlea getting an offer? IT thinks he doesn’t and Hegarty does.
I personally hope, and think, that he’ll walk away with an offer today.

Do we really offer if we fell less than 50% chance we can get him?

from Mack’s comments.. pretty much not. his ole “we don’t want to be 1 of 5, we want to be 1 of 2” but this season is getting interesting with the OOS recruitment search although most of those guys are all on the defensive side except for that WR (hakeem flowers?) so who knows about OLine recruiting.

if you dont
You go from under 50 to zero percent chance. Might as well – you never know with kids.

I think we're terrifically well positioned at this point
15 commitments and eight offers out there, according to numerous reports.
That means coaches can pick very carefully who to make offers to, and not be terribly upset by not getting a positive response. Other than running back and maybe cornerback, I don’t see a position where “We’ve just got to take somebody.”
My druthers: One of the RBs, one of the DEs, one of the DTs (offers made two weeks ago; one more O-lineman . . . and two DBs. Get those and I go into hibernation on the recruiting front until November.
Gracious Sakes
We had an open thread going this time during the first Junior Day. What is the scoop? Any news?
Kendall Thompson!!

Greenlea Commits per Inside Texas
WOW…I would love to see the presentation and reception these guys get when they come in. It has to be amazing. Plus the mojo is out of this world right now.
They probably show them this picture.

Greenlea didn’t even know if he’d get an offer, I’m sure they told him basically “commit now or your spot’ll get eaten up by a stud (hegarty/westerman)” whereas the converse isn’t true and we’d probably wait on hegarty/westerman regardless of greenlea’s decision

RB Recruits
Being in LA, I don’t get to keep up with the Texas high school Stars as well as in the past. I have only seen footage of Daniel Lascko and he looks awesome. How much better can the four RB studs be than him and how could we not offer Herchel Simms if he is rated that high? If Malcom Brown is really the next Adrian Peterson and puts he Horns on his helment, then we should be set for Title runs for many years. Has he publically commented as a Texas lean?
HOOK 'EM BABY!!!
