Or I should say lack thereof, which tells me he's having a tough time with his decision!
This is what I've read from Hookem.com... (or tidbit from their reports.) Cottrell's mom came with him to Austin. We know his GF will be going to Texas on a soccer scholarship. He 'reportedly' sent a text message to an Oregon recruiting publication saying he's still committed to Oregon... BUT it's all been silence since then. The Cottrell family are playing this close to the vest. I think if he was still SOLID to the Ducks, he'd already come out to say that! I'd say the longer this plays out, the better for Texas. His family is Pro Texas. More to come...

1/30 Update
The best way to put the situation with Bryce Cottrell is that he's "conflicted" with his decision! The Texas staff sent him home with a University of Texas LOI and of course, he has one from Oregon... Of the 3 recruits that visited last weekend, Cottrell was the least likely to change his commitment. But all that appears to have changed... obviously the Longhorns gave him a lot to think about. While he grew up a Longhorn fan & his girlfriend has signed a soccer (goalie) scholarship to Texas, it will be a tough decision to back out on his long standing commitment to Oregon who started recruiting him from day one... more to come!
