Some 247 remarks about the recruit battles with ou (note, they are the home team this weekend so get the visitors)

Ryan Newsome (Aledo)
Position: Receiver
Crystal Ball: Texas (72-percent)
Newsome was at one point seen as a heavy Texas lean, but the struggles seen on offense from the Longhorns in the early part of 2014 have hurt the Longhorns’ chances moving forward. However, Newsome delayed his official visit to give more time to get the offense in order. Will it help? Newsome also has official visits set up to UCLA, Tennessee and Oklahoma and recently took his first official visit to Ole Miss.
Anthony Wheeler (Skyline)
Position: Linebacker
Crystal Ball: Texas (62-percent)
Wheeler’s recruitment was once seen as a true back-and-forth between the Longhorns and the Sooners, but Wheeler recently stated that Baylor had jumped the Longhorns for the second place team on his list with a recent push with Oklahoma remaining on top. However, many close to the recruitment feel that Wheeler will ultimately pick between Texas and Oklahoma with Oklahoma still being seen as the favorite for the time being.
Cameron Townsend (Ridge Point)
Position: Linebacker
Crystal Ball: Texas (100-percent)
Townsend is set for an official visit to Oklahoma later in October and recently took an official visit to Oregon State. He plans to have his final decision following his trip to Norman, but prior to his schedule official visit to Texas in the early part of November. He is expected to choose the Longhorns, but taking an official visit following his announcement raises some questions.
Darrion Daniels (Bishop Dunne)
Position: Defensive Tackle
Crystal Ball: Baylor (92-percent)
Texas is on the outside looking in for Daniels in his latest update with Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech sitting closer to the top. Texas, once an afterthought for Daniels, made a big impression on the defensive tackle during a junior day that catapulted the Longhorns close to the top of his list. Since that time, however, the Longhorns have not been able to maintain that place on his list.
Martinas Rankin (Perkinston, Miss./Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.)
Position: Offensive Line
Crystal Ball: Oklahoma (57-percent)
Texas recently saw the need for junior college offensive linemen and Rankin was one of two that were extended an offer. The Longhorns are getting in a little late, but there is still a chance that they receive an official visit from Rankin and have an opportunity to make an impression. Ole Miss and Oklahoma are the leaders at this time with Oklahoma recently receiving an official visit.
Malik Jefferson (Mesquite Poteet)
Position: Linebacker
Crystal Ball: Texas A&M (58-percent)
Jefferson’s recruitment looks to be an in-state battle, but Oklahoma was the first official offer for Jefferson during the process. It is expected Jefferson will take several out-of-state official visits mixed in with unofficial visits in-state before he is set to make his decision in December following his senior season. Jefferson will also graduate in December and be an early enrollee at the school of his choice.
