Yes. It is still very tight regarding numbers of available scholarships for 2012 but it always seems to work out. Quick count shows 82 on scholarship for 2011 season with 12 seniors. I am not clear on Trey Graham counts since he is on some kind of medical scholarship and is included in the 82. It has been announced he will not play again so I think he will not count against the 85 max. Also, the 12 seniors include Irby who might have another year (6th year in 2012, 2011 is his 5th year with only 2 previous years of participation) as a result of a medical hardship waiver (similar to Shipley). So that may mean only 11 senior scholarships will open up. The fuzzy math results in about 15 available scholarships for the 2012 class which already has 18 verbal commitments. The numbers are fun to play with but, as mentioned earlier, the scholarship count will work out.

As Bill has generously provided updates, you can see some offers are still out there making a tight situation potentially even tighter.

My disclaimer: I am not an NCAA scholarship expert. I just did a count based on SOME of the rules I think I understand. I don't have a law degree and one may be needed to accurately decipher the NCAA rules!
 
Did Dorial Green-Beckham have any comments about his visit to Austin a month or two ago? Or any kind of hint how things went?
 
Per Jesus on the Mainline:

Q: Any word out of Peat lately?

A: Holding steady at 65% we hear. He wants to play early and he’ll get his chance. He’s also going to love this offense as most of the offensive recruits will.


and

Q: Any movement on other OOS targets? I know DGB visited Arky last week and there were some rumors on the internets that his love for OU has cooled.

A: none as of 19 August 2011 1035CDT...

visit The Link and see if anything's come back yet - the bit about 0u is interesting, if true... would be a 2-horse race then? Us and Mizzou?
 
It has been a while since I updated and lots of develoments and interest going on.

As of today (December 7, 2011 at 6:45 P.M.) the update is a follows:

1. QB Connor Brewer of Arizona
2. LB Alex De La Torre of Denton Ryan
3. DT Alex Norman of Dallas Bishop
4. ATH Orlando Thomas of Copperas Cove
5. OL Curtis Riser of Desoto
6. DE Hassan Ridgeway of Mansfield (Recruited also as a TE)
7. WR Thomas Johson of Dallas Skyline
8. CB Byson Echols of DeSoto
9. LB Peter Jinkens of Dallas
10. DE Caleb Bluiett of Beaumont
11. DT Paul Boyette Jr. of Humble
12. OT Camrhon Hughes of Harker Heights
13. WR Cayleb Jones of Austin High
14. DT Malcom Brown of Brenham
15. LB Timothy Cole of Brenham
16. RB Johnathan Gray of Aledo
17. OL Kennedy Estelle of Pearland Dawson
18. K Nick Jordan of Coppell HS
19. ATH Jalen Overstreet of Tatum
20. ATH Kendall Sanders of Athens
21. WR Marcus Johnson of Clear Springs
22. OL Donald Hawkins of Mississippi (a Junior College Transfer)

We have 4 In State Offers and 8 as Out of State Offers for a total of 12 outstanding offers.

The 4 In State offers are as follows:

1. DT Javonte Magee of Sam Houston in San Antonio
2. DB Daniel Brooks of Port Lavaca
3. ATH Adrian Colbert of Mineral Wells (committed to Baylor but it must be a soft verbal)
4. DE Mario Edwards of Denton (committed to Florida State where I think he will go)


The following are the 8 Out of State offers:

1. OL Andrus Peat of Arizona
2. WR Dorial Green-Beckham of Missouri
3. DT Eddie Goldman of Washington D.C.
4. ATH Nelson Agholor of Tampa, FL (Probably will be WR or RB)
5. DE Torshiro Davis of Lousiana
6. OT Vadal Alexander of Georgia
7. DE Denico Autry of Mississippi
8. DE/OT Arik Armstead of California

There may be more especially after the December 9 visits. This class is almost filled up and whoever wants to come to UT better decide quick. I don't think we have a chance at any of the out of staters above and from what I have heard some of the in staters are low. Still this is going to be one great class and I look for more surprising news in the next few days.
 
bill,

thanks for the updated list. of the 12 outstanding offers, why so pessimistic about any of them signing (in-state or out-of state)?
 
tamster mostly from past results plus we now have no. 23 in Brandon Moore. This class is filling up fast so room is scare. It is a great class though.
 
I believe that Daniel Brooks is currently committed to OU but has received a subsequent offer from UT. It's possible that an offer to Corey Coleman or Daje Johnson may be contingent on whether or not Brooks changes his commitment to UT.
