Biggest Takeaways from June 20th Official Visit Weekend Surprise, Surprise! You never quite know what recruiting can bring you on a day to day in 2025. That could not be emphasized more by the commitment of Sierra Canyon EDGE Richard Wesley who just wrapped up his official visit this afternoon. The lows of last weekend feel like a distance vision in the rear view mirror at the moment and that's just the beauty of the world of recruiting. Richard Wesley's commitment was not one of the outstanding "Hi's" and it was a surprising to me, at least, that a decision came as quickly as it did. The only other official visit that was scheduled by Wesley was to Oh…

Scherer (6-5, 285) and Walker (6-2, 215) were extended offers while on separate phone calls with Steve Sarkisian, bringing to a head two recruitments that went down different paths before the Longhorns pulled the trigger. Kyle Flood showed interest in Scherer while making the rounds during the spring eval…

With so much focus on wide receivers, I felt like it might be time to focus on the other positions and players left on the board TE, Nick Townsend, Spring Dekaney - announces July 15. With teammate Tanook Hines expected to choose USC on Monday, the Trojans have been attempting to make a late push. OL, Michael Fasusi, Lewisville - expected to announce a decision in August. Oklahoma is thought to be the leader with A&M also giving chase. Right or wrong, Fasusi seems convinced there's a quicker path to the field in Norman than Austin. OL, Nick Brooks, Cedar Rapids (Iowa) - expected to announce a decision in September. Texas and Georgia are the top two with…

Recruiting notes: Lunchtime juice This will go down extremely well with your Chick-Fil-A nuggets and waffle fries. Marcus Fakatou The Sierra Canyon 4-star++ DL is an “all in” recruit for Texas. One source feels like Texas and Ohio State are top two, with the negative for Ohio State being Larry Johnson is very long in the tooth and could retire after the 2026 season. There is more confidence in the Texas side this week. Oregon and Notre Dame are also key players. Kasi Currie The Texas staff loved his movement skills last week in person.

These notes are from Gerry, who is on the road today, and myself. * Melbourne, Fla., defensive tackle Brandon Brown, who committed to Texas many months ago, is expected to make a final decision this week, according to those in his inner circle.

Oklahoma has also entered the picture of late. * Nathan Tilmon, defensive back from Mansfield Timberview, is expected to announce a decision some time this week. Tilmon originally committed to SMU before backing out of that pledge a couple of weeks…
