Texas Signing Day Headquarters: Commitment/LOI Open Thread

For everything you would ever need to know about what's happening on Signing Day, head on over to the mothership, where the fine folks from the FanTake network are helping out today.

9:26 am CST: According to Mack Brown on ESPNU, Jaxon Shipley, Josh Turner, and Joe Bergeron all got their faxes in this morning, which means all 18 should be in, plus the four already on campus.

9:15 am CST: Malcolm Brown is in, now just waiting for the three kids in Austin (Bergeron, Shipley, Turner). Apparently the power is out at the Marriott where they are staying.

8:56 am CST: Desmond Jackson is in.

8:42 am CST: Quincy Russell, who de-committed and then re-committed, is official and so is Sedrick Flowers.

8:34 am CST: Leroy Scott is official.

8:25 am CST: Kendall Thompson is now official. Running out of different ways to report these LOIs coming in. Oh well. 10 in now.

8:18 am CST: Josh Cochran is confirmed.

8:12 am CST: Marcus Hutchins is in.

8:10 am CST: From Brian Perroni on Twitter, AggieYell is reporting that Brandon Alexander is signing with A&M right now.

8:09 am CST: Steve Edmond is in.

8:06 am CST: As the wind howls outside in Austin, OB is reporting that Taylor Doyle is in.

8:01 am CST: Mykkele Thompson is in, Quincy Russell pending in the next few minutes.

7:55 am CST: For the n00bs, here's some FAQs on LOIs from the mothership.

7:50 am CST: Sheroid Evans is in, per his coach via Hookem.com and Orangebloods.

7:30 am CST: Cedric Reed's LOI is in, earlier than expected. You can follow him on Twitter @Cedreed. You can follow me on Twitter @GhostofBigRoy, where I'll track any news as it develops throughout the day.

7:27 am CST: Should also note that David Ash, Quandre Diggs, MJ McFarland, and Chet Moss are already enrolled and on campus.

Star-divide

Consider this your open thread for the LOI as they come in throughout the morning. Garrett Greenlea (per Rivals' Brian Perroni on Twitter) and Miles Onyegbule have already faxed their signatures in. Cedric Reed said on Twitter last night that he won't have his in until around noon, so that's the timetable with him. Many of the DFW schools are cancelled this morning due to weather, but most coaches have reportedly gotten the kids their paperwork and they just have to fax it in from their local FedEx Office.

Also consider this your open thread for any commitments as they happen throughout the day, including Shreveport Evangel's Jermauria Rasco, who will commit at 2 pm CST at this school today. Depending on your report of choice, Rasco is down to LSU and Texas or LSU, Texas, and Florida. Florida State has apparently been eliminated.

Hook 'em and enjoy this 2011 class signing because it is a fantastic group of players and enjoy the content that will be rolling out throughout the day.

Must be

I have a good friend with whom I used to work at one of our three-letter intel agencies, and he’s still in the military working that job. When we had a big snow day, one of his civilian co-workers called in and said she was snowed in, which meant the office called him on his day off and asked if he could come in. He had just finished a night shift, and had also just cleared the 6" of snow from around his car. When they asked if he was snowed in, he could’ve had the same lazy mindset that made his co-worker not even try shoveling her snow, but he went in and worked. His co-worker, being a civilian, would’ve made special pay and all that, whereas a military worker like my friend isn’t eligible for anything extra, even if working 80hr. weeks.

Some people have a conscience that trumps laziness. Some don’t.

Just Harsin around.

Saw that rumor.

Hope it doesn’t happen and I’m not sure I believe that Texas is getting closer with Brown, especially with the news of Green and Bellard last night on top of Alexander. Tend to believe his teammate, although Recruitocosm has been nails with a lot of this stuff recently.

It will be interesting to see who was better at evaluating the talent. Who would have made the official call on not offering him-Coach Boom?

I noticed that his teamate TE Max Stevenson has risen on the charts since his OU commit. I watched some film on him and was not overly impressed and I saw an interview or posts from him and he seemed to be a bit of a showoff/smartass. So, I was not keen on offering Stevenson to get to Hughes like OU did.

On TE….anyword on Chris Barnett. He seems to have had a lot of issues but I hope he gets his act in order. His father, Coach Barnett, is a great guy.

Well, I doubt that any school could...

completely corral all their donors/alums, if one of the UT millionares wants to meet with Malcolm Brown #2 and give his parents 50K for a LOI, how are you supposed to stop it? Its very hard if not impossible, however the level of coersion with in the pay-for-play scheme that Miss St has accuased Auburn of would be extreme. Do I think all school including UT are innocent…No, but I do think that all school officals should steer clear of organizing and negotiating pay-for-play scheme between players and donors, that is what is at the root of the problem most fans have with the Auburn things, if it was done at all I’ll frown upon it (as I would with UT too), but if the school was directly invovled they should be severely punished.

De'Anthony Thomas is the one kid in the country

who may be faster than Sheroid Evans. At least in the 100m.

No word yet on when Mack's presser will be today.

Would expect some time in the afternoon.

That is unbelievable.

It really doesn’t take much to entertain people in Alabama.

What we have here is a failure to execute.

Like Westerman’s diamond studs? Those would make me happy.

So nice that Malcolm Brown is official-

The paranoia of him decommitting is over.

Texas Tech really have the 19th ranked class?

That’s impressive, Tommy Tooooberville doing some serious recruiting.

LIke Kenny Williams and especially Jace Amaro for them.

Castleman is a pretty big pick-up for them along the d-line, too. Tough to find big bodies, though he has a ways to go physically.

I think their biggest issue is keeping Tooooberville at Tech

I imagine he’s going to be on one of the first planes back to the SEC.

how the hell do they get the #1 and #2 OT's?

They had one! great season, and they reap the rewards immediately? When we won, it took at least a year to reap the benefits of a MNC. I can’t help but think that there’s something fishy going on.

by vy til i die on Feb 2, 2011 11:24 AM CST up reply actions  

I think its more on the ESPN hype

Remember the year we won we werent talked about near as much as USC while Bama and Auburn were talked about since what week 5 of their respective seasons.
