[H-D Rider]

With the 1st Junior day fast approaching, let's run down a list of invitees & attendees... the 2nd Jr. Day Feb. 25th) is below as well! The guys at Hookem.com expect at least 12 of the list below (qb, rb, ot, dt, & ath.) will be offered while they are in Austin. I will update this thread daily as changes are expected as the week progresses...

[H-D Rider]

A couple thoughts on the above lists...
*Expect 4 out of 5 OT/OL to be offered this coming weekend!
*1, probably 2 TE's will be taken this year if they get the ones they want.
*Expect the 2013 class to be 18-20... with continued attrition due to upper classmen being passed over or not buying in to Bennie Wylie's Boot Camp!
*This will be the year to shore up the depth on the OL & DL, specifically DE.
*DT Isaiah Golden of Elysian Fields was a recent ATM commitment and has apparently and not expected at any junior days. Then again, it should be noted that if Texas wants him, he probably will make a visit to Austin. But Texas is only expected to only take 1, maybe 2 DT's and they have zeroed in on Justin Manning, so the point may be mute.
*Expect as many as 6 verbal commits this time next week.
*RB, DE and DB/C are the positions are expected to be involved in Out of State recruiting at this time.
*Courtesy from the boys over at Hookem.com

Your thoughts???

This appears to be one of those off years for in-state at those 3 positions. The only two Texas DB's I have found are Antwaun Davis and George Baltimore. Ramping up OOS recruiting will be something critical this year at more positions than previous years.

 

[Knoxville-Horn]

George Baltimore? I thought he was being recruited by the polo team.

 

[DrRad]

George Baltimore? Is he related to the renowned Indian tracker known as "Lord Baltimore"?

Who are those guys ??

 

[IdahoanHorn]

SO ARE THEY NOT IMPRESSED WITH WHITE

And what about RB Keith Ford? I thought he was the best RB in the state for 13.

Do you think Swoopes will be offered at the time of his visit? Or will they wait until after Barrett? Will both be offered? What if Swoopes immediately accepts an offer? Does Barrett's visit become moot? Would we take both? Just wondering.

'only' 2 db's in the state of Texas.....

[accuratehorn]

Sounds like we have to be more selective for 2013 after the huge class for 2012. I read we may be limited to about 18 total. Is this correct?
Do we have a wish list yet, top 10 biggest wants?
Raulerson, already committed.
How about-
Dontre Wilson
Durham Smythe
Jake Oliver
Tyrone Swoopes

Don't know which linemen are considered the top recruits, besides Raulerson.

Swoopes is the guy we want... If we can get him, sure up the Oline, and we could be looking at one of the greatest backfields in college history, (Brown, Gray, Swoopes 2014 Champs)
