Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

A breakdown of the 2010 football commits who will begin play in the playoffs this week. I believe that out of the 20 commits, only John Harris won't be participating, as Naaman Forest lost an elimination game last week. Also, keep an eye on the matchup between Plano West and Cedar Hill -- Jackson Jeffcoat plans on taking his official visit to Austin next weekend, but may not be able to make it if West manages to pull the upset on the undefeated Longhorns. [Update]:Reggie Wilson and the Haltom Buffaloes were eliminated Thursday night by Arlington Martin, 50-6, ending Wilson's high school career. The star defensive end will enroll at Texas for the spring semester. Taylor Bible's Denton Guyer squad beat Saginaw Boswell, 59-28. 2011 quarterback JW Walsh had a 34-yard touchdown run and finished with 12 carries for 115 yards and another rushing touchdown. Lake Travis beat Crocket 58-7 and may face Malcolm Brown's Steele squad if they win this week.

Earlier this week I posted a comment asking why all the noise about Taylor Bible. He committed so early that I haven't read much about him. This article shows why GoBR is so excited about this guy. "Taylor's always been a great character kid," Denton Guyer head coach John Walsh said. "I'd be lying if I said he came to us with an incredible work ethic, but that's something he's learned to do. Everything always came easy for him. He was the biggest kid on the football field and basketball court, but he's began playing against other big kids and realized he had to really work. His work ethic now is off the charts."

Darius White takes over the pole position, followed by Jeffcoat, Seastrunk, Reggie Wilson, and Taylor Bible. Unsurprisingly, a few Longhorn commits shot up: Tevin Jackson moved from 65 to 8, Chris Jones from NR to 12, Bryant Jackson from 50 to 13, Ashton Dorsey from NR to 23, Adrian Phillips from 81 to 24, and Greg Daniels from NR to 37. There's a lot of variance in these rankings, so take them for what you will. I'll let GoBR handle the rest of the heavy lifting.
