Texas Longhorns Recruiting: February 27 Junior Day

Scheduled to attend:

RB – Daniel Lasco, The Woodlands
Lasco looks like he would be a solid pickup as an all-purpose/3rd down back. Nice quickness and burst.

WR – Hakeem Flowers, Greenville (SC) Wade Hampton
Flowers has a nice offer list but one has to wonder why neither South Carolina or Clemson have pulled the trigger yet.

OL – Garrett Greenlea
Best in-state tackle.
Link to ESPN video.

OL – Matt Hegarty Aztec (NM)
Hegerty’s basketball commitment cleared up, allowing him to attend on Saturday.

Video from OU’s summer camp.

More video.

DT – James Castleman, Amarillo
Link to Texas Panhandle Sports video. Probably a backup plan if something goes wrong with Anderson.

DE – Lance Skyler, Lancaster
No video found. No offers listed either. If Hughes didn’t get offered, what chance does Lance have?

LB – Devon Hocutt, Killeen Ellison
Listed at 5′11″, 258. Only offer is from Texas Tech. I’ll take the Mossmonster and be done at the position, thank you. Coach Schuman is a fan , though.

LB – Kendall Thompson, Carthage
Another inside linebacker, another faux-hawk, another guy who lacks free video on the internets. Gerry Hamilton likes his versatility.

CB – Eric Agbaroji, Midlothian
Lacks offers and video. Has already listed Texas as his leader.

CB – Charles Jackson, Klein Collins
Listed at 5′11″, probably more like 5′9″. Again, no offers or video to speak of.

S – Franklin Shannon, Dallas Skyline
Attends D-1 factory Dallas Skyline.

S – Nick Shepard, Houston Cy Ridge
Word is he’s leaning to LSU because Lester has promised him he can play QB.

Rivals video from his freshman year.
This video only has a small bit of Nick.

ATH – LaDarius Brown, Waxahachie
ESPN video of Brown.

ATH – Quandre Diggs, Angleton
Prepare for a Barking Carnival meltdown if Diggs isn’t offered. Impressive offer list .

Espn video.

WR – Marquis Jackson, Ft. Worth Arlington Heights
No free video found.

Non-attendees : RB Herschel Sims won’t be attending, as he says he hasn’t been receiving much attention from the Texas coaches. Sounds OU-bound at this point. Brown or bust.

Who gets offered and who commits?

Texas already has 15 commitments, as well as offers out to guys like Brown, Westerman, Reed, and Anderson that they will definitely wait on. There isn’t much room left, which means there are going to be some disappointed kids at the end of the day Saturday.

I predict that Greenlea and Hegerty get offered at OT. Flowers’ commitment doesn’t effect either guy’s chance of getting an offer, as Flowers is a guard. Greenlea commits.

Lasco gets offered and commits at RB. Texas wants two RBs.

Possible LB offer.

Quandre Diggs is offered as a safety and commits.

Thoughts?
