If im being honest, im surprised he didn’t do the clean flip once he de-committed from Oregon. I imagine it comes sooner rather than later.

Yeah it’s not a very well kept secret he loves Texas and they are favorite at this point. Like I said I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened.

In-state recruiting is a lot more competitive this year and the staff has experienced success with OOS recruits. Particularly out West.
The staff would rather chase some OOS targets over settling for an inferior in-state target. They want to maximize.

staff has gone OOS for DBs this cycle because of several reasons. 1) a couple of the main top ranked in-state guys were just not going to get recruited here for reasons I won't go into, 2) others shied away because of the loaded 2018 DB class.
Caldwell is an exception where Texas located someone in-state flying low and went after him.
There's not a lot to choose from in state on the RB front. Hence our interest in Cain, Sanders, others.
LB is thin this year with Gbenda being the one who was seemingly the exception. So we went out of state to get Gabriel.
OL was loaded with prospects this cycle and we've been able to nab a 5-star in-state guy at a need position. Shepard shouldn't be far behind him. I still hold hope for Bragg, call me crazy.
DL had Leal and then everyone else as far as in-state goes. Leal surprised many when he chose aggy. The battle continues and you don't stop until the whistle blows on this one. We've developed some other options on the DL that are promising.
Doesn't this hurt Herman and his relationship with Texas HS coaches – going OOS so much? I don't think so. Herman targeted the best the state had to offer and when that doesn't work out it doesn't mean Texas has to "settle" for a lesser in-state guy. At that point Herman has the right to go after the best player he can get, wherever that might be.
We're sitting at only 11 commits so it will be interesting to see how the rest of the class pans out.

Schools seemed to have cooled on him since the evaluation period. Texas is still recruiting him, but isn’t pressing.

Texas signee Byron Hobbs has some bounce in his step.

A 5-star Oklahoma commit says the Sooners will ‘bury’ Texas, and he might be right

Is Theo Wease related to O’neil? Sound like it...The Sooners at there best last your barely scraped by a few games in the Big 12. Texas at there worst had em beat. If Texas offense is halfway coherent this year the RRR could b ugly. Watch and see.

Everyone in the Big12 is replacing their QB except us. I really like our chances this year if we can get some consistency at OLine and RB. Rest will take care of itself. That and don't make stupid mistakes in over time.
