Gird Up Your Loins: Sunday recruiting update
OnTexasFootball provides the latest intel on a number of targets.
Defensive line ...
Texas has had quality phone calls with Myron Charlesand family in the last 24 hours. My gut being around this recruitment with two stops at Port Charlotte High during the process is that Myron prefers Texas. Myron texted the staff before and after the game Saturday night, while being in Tallahassee. These are rough and tumble battles late pulling on family members from the in-state and closer to home schools. Florida is pressing as hard as they possibly can.
Justus Terry is not likely to announce on December 4, but Friday the 6th. Texas continues to plug away with the understanding that a family member may just want closer to home at the end of the day - driving distance to Georgia, Auburn or Alabama. But there is another family member that is open to Justus at Texas. Texas is all in here.
There isn't a lot of confidence with Auburn 4-star++ DL commit Nathaniel Marshall (Oak Park, Il./Fenwick). The communication is ongoing, but it remains an uphill battle. Texas would have to overcome Auburn's long standing relationship with Marshall's mom (think in terms Brandon Brown's mom and Bo Davis). But Texas will plug away.
Texas feels good about Joseph Mbatchou, with the understanding that Florida will give it one more swing.
One final note, OTF was told that LSU 4-star commitment Zion Williams (Lufkin, Texas/High) sent Texas a congrats text after the game. Williams was a guest of Texas A&M Saturday night. For the recruiting is funny portion of the update.
Javion Hilson ...
Hilson and Texas have been in contact in the last 24 hours. Multiple times. Texas is staying in the fight against Texas A&M. All things equal, I believe Hilson prefers Texas ... but I've been wrong plenty in this business before. And that doesn't mean I believe he will pick Texas. Those on the 40 Acres are recruiting like they are behind right now.
Michael Fasusi...
Nothing new as of 11am Sunday with Oklahoma 5-star OT commit Michael Fasusi.
Wiley and Terry...
No change with either. Texas solidly leads.
