By coincidence, we also offered Ohio State’s top 2018 OL target Jackson Carman today.

I wonder if an offer for 2018 OT Darrell Simpson could be coming soon. Saw on another site that Beck was his main recruiter for tOSU.

I expect one will come his way eventually.

2017 DE/RB Tyree Johnson -- St. John's (DC) -- aggy commit

Herman said at the presser today that they would recruit guys they already knew, but also swing for the fences.

Later the same day, we took some swings

 

[Earl Nobis Jefferson]

No kidding, UT hasn't swung at the national fences like this in a while

CB Chevin Calloway (Dallas Bishop Dunne) moved his OV back to Jan 13

His family will come with him -- often a good sign

http://www.burntorangenation.com/2016/12/31/14095444/chevin-calloway-texas-longhorns-tom-herman-official-visit

"..... There are several defensive backs still on the radar for the Longhorns, including Blinn College cornerback Kendall Sheffield and Port Arthur Memorial cornerback Kary Vincent, but there is only one secondary spot left in the class, according to Calloway.

Considering that the consensus four-star prospect was thought to be high on Texas before committing to Iowa, the Longhorns should have a chance to secure Calloway’s signature after his January XX official visit to Austin. 

When Calloway decides on National Signing Day, it will likely be between Texas and Arkansas, with the Razorbacks potentially holding a significant margin heading into the decisive month of January. In fact, 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions have been coming in since as early as August and continued into the last week, giving the Hogs 16 of 18 overall.

The Arkansas coaches also have a strong relationship with Calloway, who is originally from the Natural State....."

JUCO LB Gary Johnson --

-- had been in communication with Texas "for a while" and an offer was extended through his coaches, but he just heard about it on Wednesday. When he did find out about it, he immediately set up a UT visit.

"Texas has always been a power house. Texas in itself speaks a lot.  They're all about football there. To have an offer from a place that is going to turn it around in a year or two, that's huge for me. I had a couple places I had that I would like to take visits to, once I heard the Houston coaches were going there, I wanted to visit there. When they offered, I set it up."

(per OB)
