LSU has dibs on Paris, Brown and Hardman

Florida offered a Safety out of the DFW area, Edward Paris. Doubt we will push that hard for him though.

He'll be a Tiger in March.

I believe Nick Watkins has Bama as his leader. Long way to NSD though

Certainly all indications are A&M and LSU split the gold with everyone else fighting for the scraps. Probably as many as 7 or 8 high quality DB's this year out of Texas and I would be surprised if more than 1 or 2 didn't go LSU/Texas. Of course I don't know how hard Saban has pushed yet. Texas is barely even in the conversation except with 1 or 2 of the lower rated ones.

A&M already has Nick Harvey and Cedric Collins.

That's fine. We'll just have to settle for the #1 ranked DB in the country, Marlon Humphrey.

That may be the way it will be for years to come, and not just for DB's either.

Does he have any interest in running track in college, b/c LSU has a pretty great track program... Just sayin'

A&M and LSU are literally going to own the Texas DB crop in 2014.

The top three are Paris, Harvey and Brown. All are national top-30 players. Harvey is committed to A&M, Paris is 95% LSU and Brown is 70/30 LSU/A&M now that his sister committed to the Tigers.

After that, the next tier is Hardeman (LSU), Johnson (Stiff-arming OU and Texas waiting for an A&M offer), Collins (A&M) and Watkins (likely A&M).

Texas could realistically produce seven national top 100 DB prospects this year and all will end up at A&M or LSU most likely. Texas gets our scraps.

DSG yes, but I'm not even sure Freeman has a commitable offer at this point. He's a bit of a tweener.

I was told our DB class will be 4 and our LB class will be 3. We have 2 of each right now and with the expected DSG commit, we have space for 1 more at both (top targets - LB Whitley, DB Brown). I know we have a plan of 1-2 flex spots for elite kids at any position but Freeman probably doesn't fit that.

We won't take Freeman, too many better DBs kicking in the door.

We'll probably take five. A class of Harvey, Collins, DSG, Watkins and Johnson would be amazing. Paris is a lost cause but we are still pishing hard for Brown despite his sister. Would count as an upset, though.

Ok ... who is Johnson that you guys are mentioning? I haven't heard the name mentioned from anyone.

Also, I am hearing the same as tmc94 as far as numbers, I was under the impression that was why we weren't taking a commit from Freeman right now. The dude is plenty talented.

It's almost going to be like Miles and Sumlin teaming up to shatter the dreams of the entire Big 12.
