2015 Recruiting Season is in full swing

Burton

-- Says college baseball has little to do Murray's decision. If he goes to college, it's for football. Baseball is important to him.  College baseball isn't.
 
-- No presser next week.
 
--  As of this morning, no final decision. This recruitment is best described as "ongoing".

Apparently we are very serious about the JUCO WR Reed who will be in this weekend

According to Higs, our coaches watched his film and "immediately said we can't turn that guy down. This kid is REALLY REALLY GOOD."  

The idea is that we do not have a single WR on the team that can do what Reed can do.

Reed already has an existing with Norvell.

And at least one of our other coaches has a good relationship at his school

He will be a tough pull from his home state, but apparently we feel he is worth the effort

Even if it means he is taking a spot from someone else they like alot

The one hangup for us may be grades.  That wont deter Arkansas

Some more on Reed -- this from HD

Texas has a good short, Norvell big help there. Probably a two-team race - Texas v. Arkansas.
 
"He's very, very, very, very fast. That is not a rumor. That is fact. Blazer." 
 
6'3,175-180 pounds. Shooting for the 190s. 
 
"Dynamic playmaker on the outside. Legitimate deep threat. And dangerous w/ ball in his hands. Great body skills and body control. Won't see him going over the middle and he shies away a bit when asked to. But his size probably has a lot to do with that."

We need the Lincoln spokesman to weigh in too

I don't want to post the whole thing - but check out Billy Liucci on the Kyler Murray recruitment...  Holy crap...

"Brock Huard and Tom Luginbill should lose their job for what they did. To sit up there and explain why Kyler should flip to Texas and not offer any reason why he should stay was some of the most blatant, one sided journalism I have ever seen covering recruiting. Both of those guys have generally been negative towards A&M."

"They went down there a few days ago with Kevin Murray, that visit went well. This is what I know for a fact, Texas has promised Kyler Murray the starting job. I know that is not something A&M would do with Kyle Allen here. I also know that the Aggies did not do that a year ago when they recruited Kyle Allen. That was without an incumbent starter. That was after Johnny had left and it was Kenny and Matt Joeckel battling for a job. They did not guarantee Allen a starting job and I know they aren't going to do it to Kyler, in that regard. There's a difference right there, but I also wonder what Jerrod Heard and Tyrone Swoopes are thinking right now, not that Kyler would not beat them out.

"It's just the simple fact that that act reeks of desperation, it reeks of a coach that is rolling the dice for a total backfire if they don't get Kyler. But, they might end up getting him. There is too much smoke to ignore it. I said yesterday, if you did not think that was more than a courtesy visit or that he was trolling, you had your head buried in the sand. Jake Spavital will be there today and for me this thing is trending towards Texas, it could go either way, but by the day it gets more interesting but I think momentum is building in Texas' favor behind the scenes. But again, this is the same fan base and same people that covered thigns that thought Nick Saban was going to be the head coach a year ago.

"I would exercise caution and not jump off a cliff, but this is a serious battle and A&M is in a position right now where they are fighting to gain back momentum. That is insane when you think about, if it had been anybody but one of the most anemic, downtrodden offenses in college football. A coaching staff that seemed like they were getting nothing done on the recruiting front, a lack of skill players, offensive line problems, the whole deal.

Yea he mad......

Funny thing is Aggy is thinking flip more than Texas fans. 

I've said it once, twice, three times and I'll say it again.. Not flipping Murray is not the end of the world.

I'm more excited about the kids Murray potentially brings with him; Mack, Jamabo, Hill, Lodge, etc.

What if Murray gets drafted in Round 1 in the MLB Draft this coming June? He may never play a down of CFB. But, we'll already have his friends signed, sealed, and delivered!
