****Katy Seven Lakes OL Caleb Benenoch was invited into the coach's office to talk with Mack Brown and his response Sunday eve on being asked if he was offered...
"I can't release that info right now. I'll tell you in a few days." But he 'tweeted' at 6:15pm... "Was definitely worth the 2 and a half hour drive! ‪#HOOKEM" but has NOT de-commited from Mich. St. While he was at the camp, Benenoch apparently engaged in some epic battles with Texas commit Jake Raulerson, with whom he had apparently done battles in the past. In one rep, at least, Benenoch appeared to have the upper hand: (see below)

At the end, Benenoch generously offered to call the all-time series a draw.

We'll see what this leads to in the next day or two!

Updates will be posted as they come...

This is big considering who it is and deserved it's own update!

Regarding DT A'Shawn Robinson (Fort Worth/Arlington Heights) , the 6-foot-5, 300-pound four-star prospect didn't show up for Texas' camp on Sunday and missed the June 3 mini camp, telling Hookem.com he was at a graduation ceremony. Robinson hasn't been on the Texas campus in a football recruiting capacity since the Feb. 12 junior day.

Due to a NCAA quiet period on the recruiting calendar making it tough for the staff to directly contact with him, Texas cannot talk with Robinson and get a direct response. Courtesy of the guys at 247Sports/Hookem.com

I'm of the opinion that where there's smoke, there's fire... more on this as it develops!

DE Torrodney Prevot (Alief/Taylor) was a no-show as well, who apparently said he had to work! Don't have an other updates...

As noted above, Livingston athlete Chevoski Collins, who is being recruited by Texas as a safety, also did not make the trip and did not attend a summer camp in Austin. With the commitment from Erik Huhn starting limit numbers there and the ongoing evaluations of New Orleans (LA) Edna Karr cornerback Noel Ellis, who ran well at the Texas camp last week and was singled about by Jacorey Warrick on Saturday as a top performer, and Manvel cornerback Tavares Garner, the former Texas Tech pledge who camped at Texas on Monday, Collins could be running out of time in regards to Texas.

There were also some notable absences in the 2014 class. Dallas Skyline cornerback Cedric Collins never made it down to Austin for a camp and it appears that Texas has fallen completely off his radar. Other defensive backs who didn't make it include Lancaster safety Nick Harvey and Dallas Bishop Dunne cornerback Nick Watkins, though the latter prospect indicated on Twitter that he may take an unofficial visit to Texas this week. However, the Texas coaches place a great deal of emphasis on attending these camps because it's the only chance they will have to work these kids out before extending offers next February.

There was some positive news to emerge from the camp. Katy Seven Lakes offensive guard Caleb Benenoch seemingly had a great time, judging by his Twitter feed, and may well have received his offer. It's not out of the question that he could become a Longhorn in the coming days.

The rest of the positive news revolved around the 2014 class. Mount Pleasant wide receiver KD Cannon, perhaps the top player at his position in the state, made it in and Texas appears to have received a needed bump in his recruitment as a result. He was one of several prospects who were told that they were approved for an offer come February of 2013.

The other two players who were approved are Fort Worth All Saints offensive tackle Demetrius Knox, who has Texas and Alabama at the top of his list, and Beaumont Ozen cornerback Tony Brown, who also likes the Longhorns.

The top targets in the 2014 class are now staring to become known.
