Strong said some interesting things on LHN tonight about recruiting. 

1-That we only have 4-5 scholarships available. Hmmm, do we have silent commits or is he pressuring other recruits? 

2-Strong said he encourages visits even when committed. So you can pretty much rest assured that Lampkin/UCLA story is BS. That's why I never bought that story to begin with. Umm Strong encourages visits. Not to  mention that Lampkin visited OU. You're telling me Strong disallowed Lampkin to visit UCLA but allowed him to visit our rival, ok. 

3-Strong, "With these kids now, a commitment is nothing but a reservation." 

 That's the truth!

Word out of Grapevine today was Chrlie "knocked it out of the park" with Kyler.  It was better than he expected.

Most of the strongest buzz today was coming from the Allen side of things. 

There is some thought that the decision has already been made and that a press conference will be held next week to make the announcement. No hat game.  

In addition to that^ we also made a good impression on Lodge.  Source says we are in his top two with Mississippi. Thisis surprising folks who know Lodge personally, Thinks Ole Miss is "beatable"   The fam also seems to be pulling for us.

"Keep an eye on events in Austin tomorrow. There could be another big piece of the puzzle coming into play."

edit - i later edited these remarks to as draw less attention,  There was more but this was key parts

Juan I'm in Florida, an hour later than most here... I'm going to have a hard time sleeping now.

Pretend it's like Christmas..

Yeah, Ketchum isn't really hedging his bets on this one - he left himself a little bit of wiggle-room, but he pretty much just called Kyler to Texas with an announcement next week.

"The word going around the grapevine today was that strong knocked it out of the damn park yesterday on the visit. Knocked it out. Whatever kyler was expecting, it surpassed it in a big, big way. "

"It sounds like a decision has been made and that a press conference will be held next week to make the announcement. There won't be a hat game or anything remotely similar. From what i was told on thursday night, this will be done with the intention of highlighting who murray signs with and not the opposite. "

"In addition to all of the good news on the kyler murray front, the longhorns have made a huge move with cedar hill wide receiver damarkus lodge and once source with knowledge of his recruitment said that the longhorns were now in lodge's top two, along with mississippi. It's a rather stunning development in the minds of some that know lodge personally, but his interest in the longhorns was described today as "very real" and the rebels were described as "very beatable" per one person we spoke with on thursday night"

This was all in quotes, who is doing the speaking? If you tell us will you have to kill us?

helluva coincidence. the OB's WarRoom had these passages verbatim.

Hence the quotations.

Yep, no reason Kyler would need another press conference/announcement if he was staying committed to A&M.

And who exactly was recommending that this thread be terminated? This thread is great, my day starts and ends with all of the info and posts found here. Thanks to all who contribute, not sure how many of you (Juan I'm talking to you) have time to collate all of this information and still have time to eat, sleep, or use the facilities!

I see my edits were too late

OK, take it down if you want

I have never received any warning points, might improve my street cred

From another board...

Strong just said on LHN that we only have 4-5 ships left to handout. Accurate?

Higdon: Less than that lol.

 

[Topstarr]

man oh man....I will be dreaming in my sleep tonight

 

[utisdabomb12]

I know we are joking about the tie. But I haven't seen Kyler wearing the aggie wrist band he always wears in any of the pics. 

 

[Tejas fan]

Edits look good to me. MikeV73 hit the nail on the head. Thanks to all the guys that contribute in any way.

From another board...

If you heard what Strong said on Longhorn Extra about recruits taking visits, then we have some guys committed to us but they just want to enjoy the recruiting process.  Boyd and Hill are two that come to mind.  I would be shocked if Boyd went anywhere other than Texas.

Even his brother gives him grief about messing with these other schools.

I forgot to add:

Aggies love to troll.
