Basically said that his top 4 (IF you include Oregon) are Texas, A&M, and LSU. He will be visiting LSU in July after having been there for JR day last year. He is talking to basketball staffs during his visit also and when asked by the interviewer if "is Texas still about 75% in your mind like you said before", he was vague. He said they are still high up there but didn't give a percentage and technically he didn't mention a favorite. Oregon came up since he is up there now and said "I might try to take a visit since I'm already up here but if I don't, it will be down to the other few."

Bottom line: Texas, A&M, and LSU in some order with Oregon out for sure I think unless he visits while in Oregon...doesn't sound like he would be going back for a visit. He also said he has no time frame for a committment.

I don't think he can visit Oregon, right now. Made it sound like he couldn't. Might be a rule or condition for having the Opening, there,but I don't know.

Great point! I was wondering about that. It would certainly seem that having a camp sponsored by Nike (whose founder happens to be an Oregon grad) would be clearly an unfair advantage having the deal in Portland? right. I have made that drive from Eugene to Portland and it is like 90 minutes I think.

That video makes me think he's leaning towards LSU. The most telling comment was the he's going to visit LSU in July and then come back and talk to his parents. If you're not really interested in a school why the need to come back and talk to your parents?

Yeah, that sounded good for LSU. The guy plays it close to the vest, and I never thought he would leave Texas, but I think it might just happen. My thing is it seems he trust Jones more than Barnes, and football might be a secondary issue, here...

Does indeed sound positive, but would be a lot more positive if the parents were there with him

Hard to say. To be fair, he has already been to Texas and A&M, so this is just giving LSU its visit...sounded like the other time he visited was on Junior Day in 2011. I would put Texas still in the lead (just a guess) but IF he decides not to go to Texas, I think LSU might have the lead over A&M. IMO, LSU is attracting good QBs again after the fiasco of the last few years (Kiel decommital, Liggins not qualifying, Zach Lee who I thought was going to be outstanding signs with the Dodgers, etc). Obviously that matters with WRs and TEs.

A&M is out of the picture. Texas leads but he is looking for some reason to jump ship... open to other possibilites. Hopefully LSU can give him a great reason to reconsider.

The interviewer said RSJ stated that a week ago. In the video clip linked to, RSJ did not say that again. He said something like "Texas is one of the few I'm considering and is still up there." He didn't really give or agree to a % in the video clip. Perhaps, we need a voice analysis done. Just kidding! I will say a week is an eternity in recruiting.

I'm sticking to he's leaning to LSU. Sounds crazy, but I really think Jones is in his head. I don't think he trusts Mack, and Barnes...Could be wrong, but thats what makes this fun.

You can tell he's not big on aTm or Oregon.

Looks like it's truly LSU vs UT.

That's how it sounded to me. If I had to put money on it, I would say Texas. A&M is out.

Just watched the UT QB Swoops that would be in his class, and he truly sucks at throwing the ball. Now he is raw, and you don't see his legs/speed in 7 on 7, But he is indecisive, and just threw 4 int's in the game I watched..LSU with their haul at QB for his class, will definately make a future TE/WR think.
