Port Arthur is 1.5 hrs highway driving east on the fucking border of Texas and Louisiana. How the fuck is that “Houston Area”?

Houston and it's surrounding areas are a giant shit hole. 

But occasionally it's nice to raid the area for football talents.

I don’t completely agree, but Houston is the least aesthetically pleasing of the big 5 cities in Texas.
 

That said, there’s a property off of 288 on the way to Pearland that’s flat as a table top with panoramic views of the Medical Center and the Downton Skyline to the north. It’s quite striking at any time of day. I’ll attempt to take a good picture next time I’m down there.

Houston is more of a concept than a place at this point.

Starting to produce?

The Houston area:

2005    Jamaal Charles, Memorial (Port Arthur, TX) 

2008    Ryan Roberson, Brenham (Brenham, TX)

Expand  

If Port Arthur is Houston area then shouldn't Brenham be in the Austin area?

If he's going to make his final decision "soon,"  I think that has got to bode well for Texas.  My thought is that he came in, Texas blew him away, he's gone home to think about it, and now is close to 98% certain that he knows where he wants to go: Texas. The problem he faces is having to let the FSU coaches know.  That's my homer take.  But each day that he waits to decide, though, is a chance for more and more FSU fans to get in his ear.

Primer on this OV weekend.  A long article like this, with Roach, would have been a total snooze fest.  These guys - Scruggs in particular - throw in a ton of specifics and make it very much worth reading.

 

A few of the positive notes:

Dakorien Moore:  Regardless of when the decision comes, Horns247 still expects Moore to end up signing with the Longhorns come December.

John Mills:  This still appears to be Texas' race to lose entering the weekend.

Lance Jackson:  Like Rickey Stewart, we're not nervous or cautious of a potential flip as Jackson is locked in with the Longhorns.

Smith-Orogbo:  I wrote about it in The Stampede on Monday, but don't find it super surprising if my crystal ball prediction ends up getting changed back to being in favor of the Longhorns.

Riley Pettijohn:  I like the chances of the decision coming down to the in-state rivals of Texas and Texas A&M with the Longhorns winning out. 

Jonathan Cunningham:  Regardless, depending on how things go this weekend, we could be firing up the crystal ball machine sooner or later.

Let’s get this going early!!!

June 14-16 (14)

Dakorien Moore, WR, Duncanville (Texas) High
OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star
Official visit schedule: Ohio State May 31-June 2, Texas June 14-16 and Oregon June 21-23
Where it stands: OTF still believes Texas is the team to beat with two OV's remaining. The only way Moore doesn't end up at Texas is if he truly just wants to be somewhere else. 

Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock (Texas) High
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Arkansas May 31-June 2, Texas A&M June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and USC June 21-23
Where it stands: OTF spoke with Johnson Monday evening. He and Sarkisian are scheduled to talk this week ahead of the visit to Texas. His mom and little sister will make the trip. Despite the chatter coming out of the visit to Texas A&M last weekend, the speedster says he will make OV's to Texas and USC the next two weeks. 

Andrew Marsh, WR, Katy (Texas) Jordan
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Penn State May 31-June 2, USC June 7-9, Texas June 14-16, Kentucky June 17-19 and Oklahoma June 21-23

OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: SMU May 10-12, Ohio State May 31-June 2, USC June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Florida State June 21-23
Where it stands: A popular prospect inside Moncrief Neuhaus, but there is just a log jam at wide receiver in the 2025 cycle. 

Nick Brooks, OT, Cedar Rapids (Ia.) John F. Kennedy
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Georgia May 31-June 2, USC June 7-9 and Texas June 14-16

OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Missouri May 31-June 2, Texas A&M June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Florida State June 21-23
Where it stands: If mom favors Texas after this weekend, this one will be tough for the competition. 

John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius 
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Nebraska April 26-28, California May 23-25, Washington May 31-June 2, Florida June 7-9 and Texas June 14-16
Where it stands: Texas has led for a while and Mills likes the idea of college in the south, but Washington does possess some family appeal. 

Brandon Brown, DL, Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie #AllGasNoBrakes
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: LSU May 31-June 2, Tennessee June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Miami June 21-23
Where it stands: Texas vs. LSU with this weekend's official visit looming very large. Big brother will be a key here this weekend.

OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Georgia May 31-June 2, South Carolina June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Florida State June 21-23
Where it stands: Texas is a sleeper here right now, and could emerge as a real threat if a small town kid isn't overwhelmed by Austin this weekend. 

Smith Orogbo, EDGE, Alief (Texas) Hastings
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Arizona State April 26-28, SMU May 17-19, Washington May 31-June 2, Texas Tech June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Oklahoma June 21-23

OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Michigan May 31-June 2, Texas A&M June 6-8, Texas June 14-16 and USC June 21-23

OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: Ohio State May 31-June 2, USC June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Texas A&M June 21-23
Where it stands: OTF remains the same - Texas' recruitment to lose with Ohio State and USC swinging away. 

Jonathan Cunningham, LB, Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
Official visit schedule: SMU May 3-5, Arizona State June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and Kansas June 21-23

We sure are going after a lot of top defensive ends. I wonder if we only want two. Even though it has been discounted, maybe Jackson allows some recruiting flexibility because he can move inside.

Marco Jones
Smith Orogbo
