– Grayson Reed: Cy-Creek (TX) OL Grayson Reed recently released his Top 10, but most know it is likely a 3 team race between Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. There have been some rumblings that Reed could make a commitment this weekend, and if he does, I expect him to choose Texas A&M. Reed didn’t rule out a possible commitment this weekend but I’d be surprised.

Reed plans to visit Texas A&M this weekend for their spring game and plans to visit Texas on April 16th for their spring game. For Texas, they hope Reed leaves College Station uncommitted and visits Austin on the 16th. These situations change daily, but I just wanted to let everyone know what’s going on and regardless of what happens there is no doubt Texas will continue to recruit Reed hard and use his Texas connections to their advantage. – (Andrew)

– Baron Browning: In case you missed it, 2017 LB Baron Browning (Kennedale, TX) released his top 10 last night which included: Texas, TCU, Oklahoma, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC, UCLA, Michigan and Alabama.

I’ve talked to a few sources and get the sense that Baron’s favorites are not necessarily the schools many expect. I’m told that Ohio State, UCLA, Notre Dame are pretty high on Baron’s list. I’m also told that Baron has a really strong relationship with the UCLA position coach. In fact Baron has visited UCLA in the past and they are apparently one of his favorites. My sense, contrary to popular belief, is that the local schools like Oklahoma, Texas and TCU have some work to do (though I’m not sure how much more “work” TCU can do…Baron’s father played there and he visits there regularly). Fortunately for all of the local program they have the advantage of proximity and as time goes on that tends to matter more and more with a lot of players. – (Super K)

– Could Texas have their Kicker for 2016?: As most know, Texas HC Charlie Strong recently said they’re on the lookout for a kicker as the two they have on campus right now have under-performed this spring. A name to keep an eye on is Chris Naggar from Arlington (TX), who made the 6A All-State team in 2015. Naggar turned down some lower offers after he was accepted into UT and plans to walk-on in 2016. I was also told that Naggar works with now former Texas kicker, Nick Rose and they plan to be in Austin this weekend working out. The Texas coaches have been made aware of Naggar and it’ll be interesting to see if they check him out this weekend.

One thing to remember is this is the exact path Nick Rose went down before eventually earning a scholarship at Texas… – (Andrew)
