Latest from 24/7 and Roach;
With the regular season over and the Longhorns waiting on a bowl bid, the Texas staff will hit the road to recruit. I’m told that the Longhorns will have a staff meeting on Sunday to organize their recruiting effort and hit the trail hard during the next few weeks.
As of now, the staff hasn’t really been told anything about their futures and will continue with business as usual until alerted otherwise. Expect the Texas staff to see their priority targets in order to lock guys down in the weeks leading up to signing day.
I would expect Stan Drayton to be dispatched to Tucson to meet with Bijan Robinson. The five-star back is probably tired of answering questions regarding his future, but he’s one of the most important commits in the class. There have been rumors regarding Robinson and USC, but sources I spoke with still feel good about where Robinson stands with the Longhorns.

I would expect Jason Washington to also head to Arizona at some point to see Kelee Ringo. As our Blair Angulo reported, Ringo was considering an official visit this weekend but needed to stay and practice for Saguaro’s state championship game. Ringo is still sending positive feedback to Texas, and I’ve been told the family is expressing an interest in making it to Texas before he makes his decision at the All-American Bowl. We’ll have more on this race in The Stampede.
I would expect Tim Beck to see every quarterback the Longhorns have committed. That would include Ja’Quinden Jackson who told Horns247 that he intends to sign in December and has no worries about his commitment to Texas.
I would also expect to see some new offers go out during the next few weeks. Defensive line is a likely spot for an offer with Texas commit Van Fillinger showing heavy interest in Utah. I could also see cornerback as a spot where Texas could make some new evaluations and offers.

Finally, I would expect the Texas coaches to show their face at as many games as possible. It would not be a surprise to see the staff represented at NRG Stadium next week for the 6A-D1 Region 3 final between North Shore and Atascocita, and I’d also expect to see them in Frisco where they will likely be able to take in a game between Duncanville and Southlake Carroll while also seeing Denton Ryan in the nightcap.
As Horns247 reported this week, there is a lot of belief that changes are coming, but for now, the staff is readying for the final recruiting push and will until they are told differently.
