They got an eight one with Aaron Williams a DB at Round Rock.

Others that came to UT Junior Day were:

Jarvis Humphrey - no offer, coaches are going to do more evaluating.

Stephen Good - offered but will probably take a few weeks to decide.

Darryl Stonum/Andrew Luck - didn't make it in but are planning on coming on February 24th.

Luck Poehlmann - offered but didn't commit.

Ryan Roberson offered - waiting to decide between UT and A&M.

Joseph Ibiloye - UT No. 1 on list but not offered but UT coaches are going to evaluate linebacker needs. (The fact that he wants to come to UT should be a big factor).

This is going to be another very good class for UT. Probably they are at about half of the scholarships they will be able to offer (I figure between 17 to 20). It is a good start. There is great risk that some will change their minds but also there is strong possibilities that others will take advantage if a recruit changes their mind such as John Brantley did.

Either way I expect as we have in the past to keep most of our verbals and this will be a good one.

Please post your information also so we can get updates not just on UT but how others are doing.

I guess it's good to know that the kicker has a little speed

[Phil C]

Word is that Ryan Roberson verbaled to UT. He is a FB/LB from Brenham.

Word also is that Emmanuel Acho (Sam's younger brother) has been offered. He is a linebacker from Dallas.

Also it is a rumor that Stephen Good from Paris (I think) is deciding between UT and Oklahoma.

Also word is out that Darryl Stonum is leaning toward Michigan.

Whiteside from Vernon signed a NLI with Abilene Christian.

Wow! I expect Whiteside to go D1 quick!! He'll be a starting player at ACU in no time.
