Mario Edwards is number one in Texas and deservedly so. His issue is his weight and whether he will keep his speed. If he slows down and moves to DT - he then becomes the best DT in the country.

Danielle Hunter is number two in Texas - he's a physical beast and definately underrated.

Devonte fields is the best speed rusher in Texas.

Javontee Magee is good, but probably projects as at DT at the next level.

Univ of Texas DE Hassan Ridgeway is terribly overrated.

Michael Starts is a good Offensive Tackle and a piss-poor defensive end.

I got Tyrone Swoops #1
Jake Raulerston #2
Seals - Jones #3.

Check out the highlights of 16 year old beast mode offensive tackle - Jake Raulerson from Celena. And he's a long snapper to boot so you won't have to burn a scholly for a snapper - lol.

Did McFarland get an LSU offer?

Derek David is border-line retarded. He's illiterate. Its a joke that any major university in the country would offer this guy a scholarship - and yet he probably had 40 offers from SEC, Big 12 and everone else. Its an embarassment to tech that he is associated with them

Sweet shirt Johnny!

You got Trey going to Aub? How confident are you on that? Serious question, I know he's looking at them but you offer your statement with much confidence.

I guess dressing like Ryan Seacrest takes some confidence.

Huh? What is this? Are you some sort of clown?

Gary Patterson has been recruiting Johnathan Gray since he was playing Pop Warner football as a 7th grader. Johnathan's father partied with Patterson on the field in Pasadena after TCU won the Rose Bowl. Johnathan & his father routinely attend TCU practices as there home is only about ten miles from TCU's campus. Johnathan is a smart kid, with good grades, and is a winner on and off the field. He is not involved with any kind of street agent and the only person who matters (besides Johnathan) is his father, who was a running back at Texas Tech. Johnathan has allready ruled out Tech and everyone else except for TCU, Texas, and A&M.

The finalists for Gray are TCU / Texas in that order. A&M is not a serious contender and they have allready lowered their sites towards Trey Williams (Williams, by the way will end up in the SEC, so Aggie will whiff on both).

I would say that there is about a 60% chance of TCU / 40% for Texas.

Denzel Devall, the hybrid DE/OLB from Bastrop (La.) High School, added a recent offer from the Oklahoma Sooners. What are his thoughts on the OU offer? Which school might offer later tonight? Read further to get the details.

"Oklahoma offered me last week," said Denzel Devall. "They're looking at me for the hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker position, which is a great fit for me. I can drop (into coverage) and run, and I feel comfortable at that position.
"It feels great to get that offer. I wasn't expecting any more. I was ready to shut it down, but now I'm going to have to look at this new offer and then go from there. Every time I would think I was going to get a chance to sit back, evaluate the schools, and then commit - more offers would come."

Devall is currently busy with both baseball and track.

"Oklahoma wanted me to come to their Junior Day, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make any more Junior Days. I'm deep into baseball season now and we're doing good.

"I'm also throwing the discus. It's the track and field event that I'm dominant at...I have to make a choice on Friday, because we have a baseball tournament, as well as our first track meet. The coaches allow me to decide which one I'm going to do."

Last night, Devall received good news when former BHS offensive coordinator Thomas Bachman was named head coach of the Rams.

"He was my personal choice for the job," said Devall. "I had a great relationship with him when he was the OC, and we've continued to talk every other day after he left (Bachman took a job at Calvary Baptist a couple of months ago).

"He's an even better person than coach. It's a wonderful feeling to get him as the head coach. We're going to have a great season."

Any program that wants to land Devall will have to thwart the efforts of TCU.

"I love everything about TCU," he said. "It's a private school with a great education. The 15-to-1 student/teacher ratio is what really stands out to me. You can build a relationship with your teachers. That stuck out more to me than them being No. 2 in the nation in football."

TCU is concentrating hard on northeast Louisiana. The Frogs signed West Monroe DT Chuck Hunter last month and procured a commitment from Hunter's teammate, DE James McFarland, last week. What does Devall think about the idea of a TCU front four that's comprised of three players from northeast Louisiana?

"That sounds nice," he said. "James is a great player who I've seen at most of the camps I've been to...he's my buddy and a hard worker. We went to Alabama football camp last year, and that's the best camp there is...we got in shape and I'm going again this year. It will help me get sharp and in top shape."

Devall plans to call the staff at Illinois tonight, so it's likely that his next offer could arrive later this evening. He was planning to visit Arkansas last weekend, but that fell through when Bastrop's girls basketball team reached the state finals (which were held on the same day).

"The girls had a perfect season," said Devall. "They were 30-0 and then lost in the championship game by eight points. I went to support them. I'm very proud of them. They beat Jennings by 20 points in the regular season, but lost to them in the finals."
