Wells says the silent isn't Bryson Washington. Either it's Bijan or perhaps someone who didn't visit but is ready to pull the trigger.

So that means no Rodgers, Washington.  I'm assuming it has to be a player that was in Austin this weekend, I don't think Vernon called prior to his aggy visit to give us the good news nor Ransom.  Think this has to be Bijan.  My next bet would be Collins. (**it's WILSON, isn't it??!**)

Logan-Redding wouldn't surprise me if his offer is "committable." (I hate that shit) He's been to campus a bunch and Texas doesn't seem to have a lot of big competition judging by his offer list on 247. Could be that Lindberg was at aggy, not impressed, saw some other OL getting looks, and felt squeezed. Could even be a 2021. Bijan does seem most likely though.

I considered JLR but he wants to cut his list of top schools before making any decisions.

I think it's already been stated it's a 2020 prospect.  Supposedly we don't do non-committable offers.  Hoping it's Bijan for a million reasons... desperate need at the position and can only help with Ransom.

My understanding is that offers for in state players are commitable when the offer is made, but not in perpetuity

Just FYI they don't talk to kids that are on OV till after the visit is complete. We will know more later today when kids finish up their OV

Yep, just responding to a previous poster that supposedly our offers are all committable.  I'm sure that's not in perpetuity, but as PDM points out we're not full up at that position as yet, so the offer should be committable.  We'll find out soon enough as things are definitely heating up over the next 6 weeks or so.

Wells also said that he “really likes” Bijan, which is apparently his hint that he committed.

Anyone got this?
 

Bryson Washington is leaning Texas.

Bijan is having a good time and we've outdone Ohio State, Super K is still wary of USC and wants to talk to Bijan and his mother before offering any more sunshine.

No word on a Rogers decision but it's almost certainly going to be Texas whenever he announces.

Here’s something I saw on Facebook 

A few notes from today's Heat Wave recruiting event on the UT campus:

--- A lot of talk today about the #DallasToAustin movement, and the movement seems very real. 

"We talk about that a lot – keeping people inside [the state]," said recent Texas offer and 2021 DeSoto defensive lineman Shemar Turner. 

After leaving today's event, that's the thing that stood out the most: how much the Dallas-area prospects discussed playing together. 

"If you leave Texas, it’s like, why are leaving our town for another state? I want to stay home," said recent commitment Quay Davis. 

Turner referenced how in-state programs could be on top like Alabama is now if the talent didn't go out of state. 

"It’s going to pick up some momentum because we want people to stay in state instead of going out of state," Turner said. 

Speaking of him, the only school he mentioned today was Texas. He'll make a return trip on July 27th, which sounds like Texas's big summer camp night. 

And while we're on the subject of #DallasToAustin, I underestimated how big of a recruiting get Duncanville QB Ja'Quinden Jackson was for Texas. It seems he has the respect and attention of a lot of the state's top prospects, especially those players in Dallas, including 2021 five-star offensive lineman Savion Byrd. 

"Important. Like you need him," responded Davis when asked how big of a role Jackson's commitment played and what it means for Texas. "That’s a bad man right there."

Davis said a reason for a lot of discussion between some prospects in that area, notably the ones on campus today, is because they all know each other. It reminds me some of the Houston-area prospects in the 2018 class. 

"It’s building a lot because everyone is coming together. We grew up together. Like me and Ja’Quinden. We grew up together. Connections," Davis state. 

As for Jackson, he looks like a NFL player right now. My goodness. He is a specimen. Good luck to any high school defense trying to tackle him. 

--- After talking with recent 2021 QB offer Jalen Milroe, it's hard not to think Texas is in a really, really good spot with him. 

"I’ve been coming to Texas since I was in eighth grade. Now having that offer, and now the 2021 class is now on [the radar], it’s cool building relationships with the coaches," he said. "I’m more comfortable because I’ve been going back and forth coming for game and visit. It was nice building a relationship with the coaching staff and having an opportunity to talk to coach Herman when I first got here. The philosophy he has for Texas, talking to the coaching staff their relationship with the players because they are with the players and what they’re preaching to the players. And they have NFL guys they still talk to, and how loyal he is to them and how he is off the field. I liked talking to coach Herman and coach Beck."

It's not a surprise that Texas would be interested in Milroe because of his talent and skill set. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like the Texas offense is one Milroe likes and is familiar with. 

"I do," he responded when asked if he felt Texas's system was a good fit for him. "I’ve been looking at the offense Herman has run at Houston and Texas and I like the offense they run. The offense he’s been running I’ve been running at high school. I’d feel comfortable running the offense."

Milroe is currently taking summer school, and is a young man with a plan. He knows he wants to graduate early, and when he'd like to make a commitment decision. 

"I’m thinking about making my commitment earlier because I’m graduating early. Making a commitment before the season starts or in the middle of the season," he said. 

As for where Texas stands, again, it sounds like UT is in good shape. 

"Honestly, yeah," he said about growing up a Texas fan. "I grew up in Texas, so I know how big Texas football his. I grew up watching Texas. Now, I’m one of the recruits and I’m able to experience it, it’s awesome for me. Talking to my parents about it, I have top schools. Texas is definitely one of my top schools."

Milroe has a visit planned to Oregon on July 27th, but that's it. 

--- I have to admit I am very bummed I missed out on the wing-eating contest. I love wings. According to the recruits, the coaches defeated the players in the contest. It sounds like the coaches fed the players and recruits burgers early on before the contest. Smart, veteran move. 

The atmosphere today is something many recruits said they enjoyed. 

"When I first walked in here, it was laid back. Then when we got to the pool, it was like a whole different energy," said 2020 Temple prospect Quentin Johnson. "It just turned up a level. All the coaches were hyped. All the players and recruits were hyped. Had fun meeting new people. It’s just like electrifying. You almost get chills being here."

Johnson said he's looking for a family feel, and is interested in studying Business in college. He spent a lot of time talking with receivers coach Drew Mehringer about where he'd fit, and the UT receivers coach made it clear he'd have an opportunity to compete for a spot immediately. 

--- We saw Bijan Robinson zooming around on a golf cart multiple times getting the royal treatment. He had a big smile on his face. Since he was on his official visit, we were unable to talk with him. Also, Johnny Wilson used his speed to duck inside, and had yet to come outside when we left. From what we heard, he's not the recruit Bryan Carrington's tweet referred to. 

--- Spent some time talking with Marqez Bimage's father, who was one of the current players' parents that came down to speak with the recruits and their families. From covering these events since Tom Herman arrived, there's always some parents giving back and willing to use some of their free time to come speak on behalf of the program and answer questions. I think that speaks very well about the culture of the program. Even though he wasn't there today, I believe Hudson Card's mother was there helping out as well. 

--- We were dropping some notes in today's live thread, so check that out as well.

Per TFB 

The annual Texas Heat Wave has concluded and the talented group of youngsters on campus have dried off and headed home for the most part.

I’ll drop some of the biggest takeaways from the Heat Wave below. There wasn’t a ton of notes.

Disappointingly, Johnny Wilson and Bijan Robinson were unavailable to talk with the media.
Alfred Collins

I last saw Collins during the fall of 2018 for one of his games. He looked like a completely different person Saturday afternoon at the Heat Wave.

Collins is up to 280 pounds (!!) and has absolutely filled out. One of the biggest concerns I had about Collins after watching him was how long it would take him to get up to playable weight at a large Division 1 school, and it is safe to say he’s done that in about six months.

Collins will be taking all five official visits and will likely make a decision towards the end of senior season, if not after.

BIJAN ROBINSON 2020

We were unable to talk with Bijan, but it sure looked like he and his mother were enjoying their time on campus when they road by on a golf cart.

Quaydarius Davis 2021

The first commit in the 2021 class was back on campus. Quaydarius Davis said he had a great time with the staff and several recruits on campus.

Davis is firmly solid and said he was very happy to establish further relationships with the coaches and some 2020 commits.

Quentin Johnston 2020

Johnston made it in for the Heat Wave like expected. Unfortunately, I was unable to speak with him having just gotten there when he was being dropped off from the pool. Regardless, Johnston is still high on Texas.

Octavious Oxendine 2020

Coming in from Radcliffe, Kentucky, Oxendine didn’t speak with us this afternoon, but instead got a private ride to his car with DL Coach Oscar Giles.

A golf cart of Giles and Oxendine alone would struggle going up any hill as Oxendine is an absolute unit.

It truly appears the interest is high on both sides for a the pure defensive tackle. We’ll keep close tags on him moving forward.

Reuben Fatheree 2021

The massive 2021 OT from Richmond Foster HS made it in for the Heat Wave.

Fatheree talked most about potentially playing both basketball and football at the next level, a talk that stemmed from him dominating the pool basketball game during the Heat Wave. At the moment, it doesn’t sound like not being able to play basketball is a deal breaker for whichever school he picks.

Fatheree did hint at potentially taking 10 official visits, five for football and five for basketball, when the time comes, but that now is still a long ways away. Regardless it should be interesting to follow throughout the next 12 months.

Fatheree said he had not heard from Shaka Smart for those wondering.

Jalen Milroe 2021

After being offered at the last Texas camp of the spring, Jalen Milroe was back on campus for the second time in a month.

This time with the backing of an offer, Milroe was able to create and expand currently relationships with the Texas staff, one of them being Tom Herman, who he was unable to talk to during the last camp.

JD COFFEY 2021

Like Milroe, Coffey returned to campus for the first time since being offered by the Texas staff.

Coffey is looking to make a decision following his junior season per 247Sports.

Jalen Logan-Redding 2020

Logan-Redding made his third trip to Austin which certainly speaks for his interest in the Longhorns.

Coming in from Missouri, he’s been pegged early to the Tigers, but is still visiting schools heading into his senior season.

Juan Davis 2021

Add Everman ATH Juan Davis to the list of visitors making their first visit since obtaining a Texas offer.

Davis is intriguing no doubt. At 6-foot, 4-inches, Davis is currently listed as a tightend but has the body to make the move outside to wide receiver.

Any intel if Washington is headed back to ou before his decision on the 4th?

Wouldn't support Bijan being the latest "shhh"

Super K said he couldn't give anything else away without making it obvious, which probably means it's someone who's a known Texas lean.

Washington, Rogers, and Bijan have been ruled out

Lindberg - on his OV, unlikely he called up Herman in the middle of that

Johnston - could be, but it seems like we're just keeping him warm right now

Collins - he's not deciding until late

Broughton - on an OV elsewhere

Dorbah - strong Texas lean, unclear whether he's visiting anywhere this weekend, and there's a chance he announces in the next few weeks

Ransom - on an OV elsewhere

Alford - I think he's a Texas lean? But we probably wouldn't push for him until we get clarity on Washington and/or Ransom

 

I think it's between Johnston and Dorbah, and Dorbah seems more likely to announce in the near future.
