Visitors Weekend Thread (Jan 29-31) - The Last Weekend!

[Godz40acres]

Five UT commits recently started following 247 Composite #1 player in the country, DT Rashan Gary.

So, I'm counting him as a lock! How 'bout you?

Done deal. Next.

Actually, I'm now reading A RUMOR that Gary was/is a secret visitor to the 40 this weekend; that Charlie has been the only one in contact with him, and even most of the staff didn't know.

Gary is uncommitted.

DJax there today with his mom
Chris Brown and his dad also there

Okay, according to RubbingTheRock, Rashan Gary and his mom took an OV to Clemson on Friday and Saturday. But, that still leaves today open as a possibility of a Texas UOV. Which still leaves Coffee-Chuggin' Charlie enough time to work his magic - especially if he's been working it for a few weeks.

I know, I know - it's all conjecture, speculation, and rumor.

BUT....

Horn247's EJ Holland swears that this is just a rumor, after checking with his sources. Gary is not on campus, was never offered and was never pursued by the coaches, he says. I don't think the #1 recruit in the nation would be doing stuff like this, so let us take it as just a wild rumor.

You know, I don't know what is going to happen Wednesday. A lot a good things appear to be lining up but I won't breathe easy until the letters are in Coach's hand. If Coach Strong pulls off the class that the signs seem to be pointing to, following a 5-7 disaster of a season, then Coach Strong won't be Coach February, he will be the King of February.

I can not get to the numbers on Rivals but believe they take only the top 20 recruits to come up with the average stars. If you plug in a few four stars and give us more than 20 it is easy to see we would wind up with a top 10 class with a average star of 3.50 or so.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that's how they calculated it. That makes more sense.

yeah he needs a bigger jersey

 

[rick mueller]

I'll settle for "neer errbody".

But aggy still runnin' the state, amirite?

Nah, just runnin' the slammer.
If we land the class we are hoping for, I will be able roast weenies here on the gulf coast by the heat of the mushroom cloud over dead dog field.

Didn't happen, unless there are pictures of Rashon and Strong doing the "Dabbin" together.

"It was a night meeting
Somewhere in a troubled land
They came with no greeting
Left without a shaken hand.

Nearby the town sleeping
Was unaware of what was done
No need for watchkeeping
They'll be gone before the sun.

It was a night meeting
They won't admit on either side
There'll be no press briefing
Information classified."

As of now, nobody is sure of Hudson, Jones, Fowler, and Dontavious Jackson. We could lose all four, or get all four. The chances are between 45 and 55% for all of them, it seems. At least nobody seems to be feeling a higher chance than that. I am hoping for 1 among the 4, and will be very happy with 2 of them.

Taylor Hamm of aggy247 and Liucci of texags are both predicting Jones to come to Texas. Hamm said that he has no info, and that it is because he is hearing nothing that he thinks it is Texas (though he is not hearing anything indicating it is Texas either). Hamm is never unbiased in what he says, so don't take him seriously on this.

The FSU247 mods (two of them) say they are increasingly confident this evening that D-Jax is going there. Not sure if they have heard anything...

Apparently nobody knows about Hudson either, but there seems to be some who get the feeling that there is higher than a 60% chance that Fowler may come to Texas.

DT Stephon Taylor has gone from high-probability to 50-50 as well. With DCG announcing now, and Chris Daniels and Marcel Southalls in the morning, and knowing that Jordan Elliott is a lock to us, Taylor may just decide to go to Muschamp and S.Car (or FSU, though, even some FSU guys think that S.Car is more probable). Muschamp may get lucky with the logjam we have at DT, and we may lose out on Taylor.

How will I sleep tonight?
