08:22 AM ET 06.11 | Wideout/tight end Ricky Ricky Seals-Jones provided but one shot heard 'round Longhorns nation last week. Not only did Texas have [Seals-Jones] decommit, but four-star wide receiver Robbie Rhodes (Fort Worth Southwest) committed to Baylor on Sunday. Texas has two solid wideout commits in Jake Oliver and Jacorey Warrick, and Statesman partner Hookem.com said Texas could be close to landing a couple of offensive linemen: Katy Seven Lakes' Caleb Benenoch and Waco High's Andrew Billings. Benenoch wouldn't say whether he got an offer from Texas on Sunday, but he might be able to play tackle. Billings, who is mulling a Longhorn offer, is a 6-1, 305-pound guard/center prospect who benches 470 pounds and squats over 700.

The dude sounds like he is essentially built in the shape of a half-chopped cinder block. How the heck would a nose tackle get him to move? Your only hope would be to tickle him, I suppose...

Mornin', y'all. What's doing in the Lone Star state? And has Bevo lost appeal to the blue chippers in Texas?

Hotter than Hades in TX.

And, FJJ, are the WR's afraid of the Bama/LSU-like offense and not being able to get the headlines that the spread O's bring them? Is this the downside of getting the top RB each year?

Thought about driving down for the final tonight.....typed Waco Texas in my GPS when I got in the truck this morning.....screen went blank and then spelled out "H_E-LL NO!!!!!

Damn thing won't start now......guess I'll just have to watch the game on TV

Caleb Benenoch is currently a Michigan State commit. It will be interesting if Dantonio can hold on to him. Sparty has made some inroads in FL, GA, NJ and MD. Benenoch is our first commit from TX.

He is gone for the whole week, yeah, he was sure they would win that one. Seems the only good chance we have is the Gators. I do not feel so bad about Kent State now, they moved on too.

Kent St not quite in yet. Play-in game today.

They've played well in the past 2-3 years, have a real solid team.

We were hoping to sneak him out of TX before y'all noticed him. Guess he was too big to overlook.

Well, at least LUS didn't get skunked in two games...grumble, grumble. Hope LUS enjoys his vacation.

He's hiding from that comment, ROFL!


Cinderella sure can play some ball, can't she? Love it when a LSOP team does well, just happy it wasn't MY team that got the indignity of the loss to them.
