OrangeBloods saying they've had a few reporters from different markets reach out to them recently regarding the commitment status of RB Camar Wheaton, and the smoke is getting real as far as him opening things back up or at least keeping an open mind with the drastic changes at Alabama.

They said it's difficult to confirm pretty much anything with Wheaton because he doesn't talk, but it may not be a coincidence that the behind-the-scenes chatter is getting louder due to RB LJ Johnson struggling to make a decision.

Would be hilarious if Gray fills what would have been Wheatons spot at ou and CW instead ends up at UT.
Unlikely....but delicious to think about
 
Kinda' ready for some commits. Lot's of talk and activity, but as John Wooden once said:

"Never mistake activity for accomplishment."

I agree, we need a splash. aggy was already ahead when Sark signed, and then kicked it up another notch almost immediately
 
Ibraheem also plans to sign this week
But we still have to decide whether to accept it, which is up to Del Conte & Hartzell
 
The preferred walk-on was one thing Herman got right. Let’s hope Sark continues it. Jett Bush and the Jacques Cort ? really helped us the last 2 years.

I like this kids game. He has jiggle ,quicks and speed.. Type of RB that tech always seems to have that gas always given Texas fits.
He would have received more division 1 offers if he was bigger. I think they are being generous by listing him at 5'10 180 lbs.
He needs to spend his RS year in the weight room. Hopefully by the time he hits the field out OL will be a top notch outfit.

OB saying that LJ Johnson made an under the radar visit to UT over the weekend. They are liking our chances.

I thought LJ was going to be an early admit. I guess he's missed that boat. So when is signing day? I'm getting nerrrvous about this.

Don't know why anyone would underestimate a undersized but powerful/explosive RB (with the jiggle as you say) after all the success stories we've seen in the NCAA.
We just saw one ourselves recently who gave us fits while not even playing behind a strong line or supporting cast and it seems like you see it all the time...

From Mike Roach on this

There seems to be some effort to try to slow Texas momentum before the staff can really get started. There’s already been a bit of negative recruiting that slowed down the momentum Texas was generating with four-star 2022 wide receiver Evan Stewart. The staff is aware of what happened and is addressing it, but between that and local schools pushing hard for commitments right now, it’s clear that other schools want to stymie any momentum that usually comes to a new staff in its first year. ​

What’s the talk on this? I’m out of the loop.

The implication is Stewart was about to commit to us, which would have been good since we need a splash, but aggy stepped in to prevent him from doing that. How did they do that? In a manner in which Roach is not comfortable putting into writing, other than using the type of generalities seen above. Or perhaps in a manner the company lawyer was not comfortable having put in writing and published.

Supposedly tOSU is also making an effort to prevent Sark from getting off to a hot start in recruiting. They like taking he best players from the state and don't want that to end. Go figure
