Sooner BBQ is today

Drumm Beat - ChamUBBQ Visitors.Possible offers.Secrets revealed 2 hours agoVIP - You want the secrets?!!!! You can't handle the secrets!? Seriously, was told another site named the visitor so, here it is.... 2019 Flower Mound (TX) four star LB Marcel Brooks. The odds of Brooks still visiting is slim, due to his ride falling through, but I was told there is still a chance- as I reported the same last night. Brooks is committed to LSU, but there is a growing sentiment that his mom may want him a little closer to home. Will that be the case when/if Brooks ever makes it to Norman? That is left to be seen, but OU and Brooks are real thing right now. The logistics of the visit just have to work out. I'll keep you up to date on if Brooks makes it down or not. - Speaking of ChampUBBQ visitors. I spoke with 2020 Bowling Green (KY) four star safety, Vito Tisdale, a bit today. If that name sounds familiar- it should. Tisdale is the relative of none other than the great Wayman Tisdale. Tisdale is also really close with 2019 DB commit, Woodi Washington, saying, "That's my big brother right there. He really wants me to join that Sooner family." Vito is really looking in forward to his visit to Norman, "With me being related to Wayman I know all about the Oklahoma." This is a kid that will see his offers really blow up over the next year or so. Oklahoma getting him on campus is a big deal and will allow them to really play off him being related to a Sooner great. I'm set to talk with Vito after the BBQ and should know much more then. -Sooners 2019 DB target, Jeffrey Carter, announced on Twitter that he is visiting Texas A&M today. He also says it is "100 percent certain" he will be in Norman tomorrow for the ChampUBBQ. Oklahoma is surging here, so this is really an effort by the Gigem to keep him from Norman, in my opinion. Plus, this really isn't an event being held by A&M, I'm told. It's the 2019 class getting together and doing some sort of pool party. I'll believe Carter to be in Norman when I see it- so this is one I'll follow all day tomorrow. If he does make it Norman it could very well be good news for OU. If not, I think the writing is on the wall for Gigem. - Oklahoma is hosting 2019 Tomball (TX) TE, Logan Compton, today. Compton says that he and Sooners TE coach Shane Beamer have gotten to know each other quite well, "I talk to Coach Beamer everyday. He is always checking up on me and seeing how I am doing. We have been building a great relationship and he is just a great guy." Compton says that OU and him haven't talked about an offer, but if they do they will be in his "top two, along with Baylor". I asked Compton about the offer and if he would commit on the spot if it happened, "I really have to see how the visit goes, you know?" Compton is slated to visit Oklahoma State tomorrow with no other visits planned until after the season starts up.

Brandon Drumm 184 posts 109 minutes ago - I will start with the secret visitor. I will refrain from using the name because there is a chance he still makes it up to Norman, but as of right now the odds of that have dropped significantly because of ride issues. The secret visitor had a ride set up with a trainer. A trainer I won't name, as well, because said trainer is now taking kids to A&M instead. Sadly, that ruins it for the Sooners secret visitor- at this time. Now, all is not lost because OU will still recruit and likely get the secret visitor- who is committed elsewhere- up for a visit at a later date, but the recruits mom is also someone that could make the visit happen if the logistics workout. I'll know more tomorrow evening and update you with one way or the other by mid day on Saturday. I know you Insiders will have your fingers crossed here. - I spoke with 2019 four star Carmichael (CA) Jesuit defensive back, Isaiah Rutherford, today. Rutherford visited Oklahoma back in April, unofficially, for the spring game. At the time Rutherford said the visit was his best one yet. Since then, Rutherford has visited only Alabama, according to his 247 timeline. During our conversation I asked Rutherford what he thinks of Sooners defensive backs coach Kerry Cooks and Oklahoma in general, "Coach Cooks is such a great recruiter and coach. He keeps it real with me and is so relatable. The whole staff at OU is that way." After all of that we got down to the real issue and that was his tweet earlier yesterday stating that there was big news coming soon. Rutherford said he does think he "might" commit in the coming weeks-possibly sometime next week. Rutherford did add that OU is "someone to watch" and stated, "I will be taking a visit to OU during the season, but I haven't set it up just yet." Rutherford went onto say, "I am unsure what officials I will take after I commit, though" when asked about if he will still take visits after his commitment. That got me to ask him further about OU. He stayed consistent in the fact he will visit OU, but as you all know with recruiting things change on a dime. With that in mind, I will have another phone interview set up with Rutherford, tomorrow afternoon, where I will get more in-depth where things stand with him. - Alright, I spoke with even more sources about 2019 Mansfield (TX) Legacy DB, Jeffrey Carter, today. In those conversations I got to really feeling good about where OU stands. It is now my belief that OU is the front runner here, but the BBQ will be where we really see what Carter has in mind. Carter has almost committed to A&M and Alabama over the last year, as well. So, him being high on OU, right now, could be just the flavor of the month type of deal. One source I spoke with doesn't think that is the case,"Scooby has been around OU commits all summer and has a great relationship with a lot of them. Those relationships seem to be paying off for the Sooners, so the idea that Scooby could commit to OU soon is as real as it gets." I'm not saying OU will get a pledge from Scooby this weekend. All I'm saying is that OU has put themselves in a great spot, at one of the biggest recruiting events of the year and if they play their cards right they could end up a part of NewWave19. This is all subject to change- like all things in recruiting. - A source told me that 2020 Colleyville (TX) Heritage TE/ATH commit, Drew Sanders, was at A&M on unofficial yesterday. In my opinion, it's nothing to worry about, but just thought I would report it before you heard elsewhere. Sanders will be at ChampUBBQ and that should really temper his visit to College Station

Perroni VIP notes Texas A&M has 22 commitments in the class of 2019 with very limited space left. Things could start to get interesting with a few players. -Though Texas A&M does not have an official recruiting event this coming weekend, a lot of prospects will be in town anyway. There is a pool party that has been organized by players on the team with a number of commits and targets planning to be there. You can bet that commits such as Bobby Wolfe and Erick Young will be in attendance. Marcus Stripling says he will be either there or at Alabama's barbecue this weekend. With it already being Monday and him not sure of which school, the trip that is much easier to make seems likely for the four-star defensive end from Katy Mayde Creek. Stripling has long said he plans to take all of his official visits and announce on Signing Day, or at least close to Signing Day, but I still do not believe he will wait nearly that long. He has seen a number of his good friends commit to the Aggies and spots are also at a premium. I believe the 6-foot-2.5, 260-pound defender will make a decision before the end of the summer and it would be very surprising if it were not A&M. As for this weekend's event, we will have more on the attendees throughout the week. -Speaking of the Alabama barbecue, there will be an interesting name in attendance in Tuscaloosa. Baton Rouge (La.) U-High linebacker Christian Harris is planning to make the trip. The 6-foot-1, 225-pound four-star prospect was once thought to be a heavy lean to the Tide before a recent unofficial visit to Aggieland. Alabama also did not seemingly have the room. However, with Harris receiving the invite and making the trip, it is an interesting development on both fronts. I still have my Crystal Ball for A&M and I believe he will be an Aggie, but I will definitely be keeping my eye on the situation over the weekend. -Things with Mansfield Legacy four-star cornerback Jeffery Carter are never easy to figure out. Again, I have my Crystal Ball for A&M and he has seemingly been very close to committing for some time, but there is a lot of optimism in the Oklahoma camp with him at the moment. As of now, Carter is expected to be in Norman this weekend for the Sooners' big recruiting event. He was once a very early Oklahoma pledge and the staff looks to have circled back to him. The one consistent throughout Carter's recruitment has been A&M. He has almost committed several times to several programs, but the Aggies have always been in the picture. They are the only ones where that has been the case. However, he is still a wild card and nothing with him would be too surprising. Oklahoma has passed Alabama as the other team that is in contention with A&M for Carter, though, so that situation this weekend will be one to watch as well. -I think it is a bit of a longshot but the current A&M commits have been working on four-star cornerback Devin Bush out of New Orleans Edna Karr quite a bit. The nation's No. 154 overall prospect has said he likes the Aggies, though, so it is a situation at least worth monitoring. Quite a few Crystal Ball predictions have come in for Tennessee as of late for the 6-foot, 190-pound defender and the Vols are definitely in good shape there. -A&M really needs one of the relatively similar players of David Ugwoegbu or Adisa Isaac. My Crystal Ball has long been on A&M for the former. The Katy Seven Lakes defensive end/linebacker is very high on the Aggies but also likes Alabama. However, with him not being on the visitor list for the Tide this coming weekend and not having camped in Tuscaloosa over the summer, there may not be a spot for him there. The 6-foot-4.5, 225-pound hybrid defender has pretty much only been to A&M throughout the process. It would not be too surprising to see the Aggies try and put some pressure on him. -If you are looking for a candidate to be the next commitment in the class of 2020, five-star cornerback Dwight McGlothern is as good a bet as any. McGlothern was in Aggieland over the weekend hanging out with current players. This is much like Stripling a year ago, where he makes it to town seemingly any chance he can get. Formerly at New Caney, the nation's No. 28 overall prospect will suit for Trinity Christian-Cedar Hill this fall.

Perroni VIP notes After taking some much-deserved time off, as did every staff in the country, the A&M coaches are now back in College Station. The dead period ends next Tuesday night at midnight, meaning prospects can take unofficial visits again. However, official visits are not allowed until the beginning of the season. You can bet that A&M will work to get players on campus to check out fall camp. -At running back, four-star Isaiah Spiller of Klein Collins is still the main target. The nation’s No. 2 all-purpose back has said that he wants to announce prior to his senior season, which is different from what he had stated a few months back, and it’s still an A&M/OU battle. Spiller is an A&M legacy and has long been high on the Aggies, even when he was committed to the Sooners at one point. He likes the new staff a lot and has a good rapport with running backs coach Jay Graham. I am still quite confident in my A&M Crystal Ball prediction and I still think it could happen sooner rather than later. He is still my prediction to be the next commit. -At wide receiver, the main target left is Dylan Wright of West Mesquite. The four-star is an in-state battle between A&M and Texas with both schools feeling like they are in good position. Wright has visited Aggieland several times this summer, though, and is very close to the current commitments. There was a lot of talk at The Opening that there is a very good chance that he ends up a part of this class and nothing has really changed on that front. Wright still plans to wait until the Under Armour All-American Game on Jan. 4 to announce, though. It will be interesting to see if he actually signs early and asks whichever school to hold it until his announcement as several prospects across the country did in the 2018 class. This one is going to be a battle until the end, but I like my Crystal Ball prediction of A&M still. One other player to at least keep an eye on is Newton four-star athlete Tamauzia Brown, who wants to play wide receiver at the next level. There is a lot of talk around East Texas that he is quite high on A&M. However, in checking, the numbers likely aren’t there at the moment. -After talking through it, A&M wants another tight end in the class in addition to Baylor Cupp. There is a need as there is a severe lack of depth at the position currently on campus. Trevor Wood is a senior this year and Jace Sternberger a junior. Other than Cupp, that leaves incoming freshman Glenn Beal as the only other scholarship tight end that will be on campus in two years. While A&M wants another player, they are not going to take someone just to have a body. The target is Jalen Wydermyer of Dickinson. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound prospect is high on both A&M and Miami but the Aggies feel like they are in good shape with him. Wydermyer is close with incoming freshman Montel Parker. He wants to take some official visits, especially to Coral Gables, but it would not be a surprise to see some pressure put on him to make a decision. I have a Crystal Ball pick for the Aggies. -Katy Mayde Creek defensive end Marcus Stripling continues to say that he plans to take his visits but I also continue to hear that he is close to officially shutting things down. While it would not completely surprise me to see the 6-foot-3, 265-pound defender take a visit or two, I think this one will be done before the summer is over and I feel very, very good about the Aggies’ chances. -The other player that is the closest to making a commitment is Mansfield Legacy four-star cornerback Jeffery Carter. The Army All-American is ranked as the No. 80 overall prospect in the country and is an A&M/Alabama battle. Carter is a player that could pop at any point and some of the current Aggie pledges almost consider him to be a commitment already. Now, we’ve seen Carter change his mind with favorites numerous times in the past but A&M has been the one constant. I believe he will end up on the commitment list sooner rather than later. -At linebacker, Baton Rouge U-High four-star Christian Harris is one of the Aggies’ top overall remaining targets. He has a final four of A&M, Alabama, Auburn and LSU but A&M is in good shape with him as well. The Harris family really likes defensive coordinator Mike Elko, who coached Christian’s older brother at Wake Forest. The talk in Louisiana is still that it would not be a surprise if he made a decision in the relatively near future. Kevon Glenn and Nick Jackson out of Georgia are still in contact with the Aggies. So is Zach Edwards, who made an expected decommitment from LSU last week. The linebacker position is one that A&M will likely have to take a very close look at the numbers and figure out where to go from there, so it’s hard to predict outside of Harris at this point. I think five-star Nakobe Dean will take an official visit, but I don’t think he will end up an Aggie. Four-star Mohamoud Diabate wants to visit as well. The numbers may not be there with him but, because he is not in a hurry to make a decision, it would not be a surprise to see the Aggies bring him in this fall. -I believe A&M will sign one of Adisa Isaac out of New York or David Ugwoegbu of Katy Seven Lakes at the weakside defensive end spot and I think it will be the first of the two to decide. Isaac is an A&M/Penn State battle at this point while Ugwoegbu is very high on the Aggies, in addition to Alabama and Oklahoma. Both are being recruited to play the hybrid defensive end/linebacker spot and both have similar skill sets. The other player to watch at that position is junior college prospect Kuony Deng. A&M really likes him as well. He’s a December grad that would have two to play two. The Aggies are his biggest offer by far but there should be a lot more suitors once he has some game film. -Like Dean, I expect five-star defensive tackle Ishmael Sopsher to take an official visit to A&M but I don’t think he will end up in Aggieland. I believe it will be either Alabama or LSU for him. The same is true with his wide receiver teammate Devonta Lee, who A&M is recruiting as a linebacker. Defensive tackle Jaquaze Sorrells is set to commit just before the season and it will likely be to South Carolina. He says he still plans to officially visit Aggieland even after making his decision, but that may or may not end up happening

VIP notes Here are a few Wednesday-morning recruiting updates. Is commit No. 22 coming soon for the Aggies? Texas A&M's recruiting is on fire after last week's haul of 4-star cornerbacks Bobby Wolfe and Erick Young. The Aggies remain in the No. 2 spot in the 247Sports recruiting composite team rankings. One position Texas A&M is hoping to land a stud is at running back, and Klein Collins 4-star Isaiah Spiller is one of the nation's best. The 4-star talent is ranked the No. 2 all-purpose back, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. The original word was that Spiller was planning on making a decision before the start of his senior season. The buzz now is that Spiller could make a decision as early as the end of this week -- emphasis on "could." If that happens, look for Spiller to choose between Texas A&M and Oklahoma. He's a one-time Oklahoma pledge who reopened his recruitment in April to explore all of his options. Spiller has 21 reported offers. Texas A&M is hoping to bring a legacy home. Spiller is the son of Fred Spiller, who played tight end for the Aggies. New York DE Isaac taking his time One of the big questions with the 2019 class involves Brooklyn, New York, defensive end Adisa Isaac and his interest in the program. The good news: He's interested. The better news: He claims no leaders at this time. Isaac, the top-ranked player from the state of New York and the nation's No. 10 weak-side defensive end per the 247Sports Composite, told 247Sports that Texas A&M, Penn State, Rutgers and Syracuse are among the schools he hears from the most. He said those are schools that intrigue him, but he reiterated that he currently doesn't have one to stand above the others. Isaac has only taken one official visit so far -- to Texas A&M -- and he doesn't have a set timeline for making a verbal commitment. "I want to take some of the visits in the fall that I didn't get to take in the summer," Isaac told 247Sports. "I don't know any of the official visit I will take yet. I want to try to take one in late July, if I can, and then the rest in the fall, probably." 2020 OL wants the '5-star' to block for GigEm247 spoke with 2020 offensive line commit Josh Bankhead earlier this week. While he's excited about the future of the program, he's also hoping to block for the best. When asked if there was one commit he'd love to see committed, North Shore's Zachary Evans was his answer. Evans is the top-ranked running back in the 2020 class and the No. 5 overall player in the 247Sports Composite. Texas A&M is one of the schools to watch in his recruitment, along with Alabama, LSU and Texas. "He's a 5-star. The dude is an animal," Bankhead said. "If you see his film, he'll hurdle one guy and truck the next. Him running behind us ... I couldn't think of a better offense." Bankhead added he and Evans are former select league teammates, so he's hoping to reunite that tandem. Evans was one of the few underclassmen selected to compete at The Opening Finals in Frisco, Texas. He played for Team Impact. "He's not a talker; he's a doer," Bankhead said of Evans. "He's a really big target for A&M, and I'm trying my best to get him to commit without forcing his hand." September visit for QB target Daniels? As 247Sports' Blair Angulo reported, San Bernadino, California, 4-star quarterback Jayden Daniels is interested in getting to College Station for an official visit. While the Aggies have a quarterback committed in 3-star Zach Calzada, Daniels said he's hoping to make it to Texas A&M in September. "I definitely want to get out to Texas A&M to see how it is," Daniels told Angulo. "I know they took a commit, too, but I want to get out there on an official for sure, hopefully early in the season when they play Clemson." Regardless of the quarterback position, you go after a talented player like Daniels. He's nationally ranked the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback, and he's a top-100 player overall, per the 247Sports Composite. At Cajon High School, Daniels threw for 5,139 yards and 62 touchdowns with only five interceptions in 16 games last season. He also rushed for 1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns. Daniels has official visits set to Cal (weekend of Sept. 1) and Utah (Sept. 15). The Texas A&M-Clemson game takes place on Sept. 8. A legitimate alternative for the WR class? Texas A&M appears to be set at wide receiver with 4-star Kam Brown and 3-stars Chase Lane and Kenyon Jackson committed. The Aggies are making a major push to land 4-star Dylan Wright, as well. But what if the Aggies don't get Wright, who has Texas, Alabama and a few others high on his list, as well? One name that has been lost in Aggie recruiting is California 4-star Darren Jones. He's a teammate of Daniels at Cajon; in fact, he was Daniels' favorite target, catching 102 passes for 2,094 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. Let it be known, also, that Jones stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 189 pounds
