Monday 5:30 p.m. - Was just told that Texas is doing an in-home with the nation's top tight end, Luke Ford, right now.
Uphill battle for the Longhorns on this one but the staff isn't giving up.
Sunday 10:10 p.m. update - JUCO OL Badara Traore tells me Texas will be out on Tuesday to visit with him. I'm assuming it will be OL coach Derek Warehime but didn't get specifics.
Todd Orlando will do an in-home with top LB target DaShaun White tomorrow. White remains committed to Texas A&M but Texas and Oklahoma continue to give chase.
Derek Warehime is going by UT commitment Rafiti Ghirmai's school tomorrow.
Also, it looks like next weekend will be UT's big weekend to bring in the committed players.
Al'Vonte Woodard, Rafiti Ghirmai, Jalen Green, Malcolm Epps and Reese Moore have all confirmed that they'll be taking their official visit to Texas next weekend.
Lastly, Donaldsonville (LA) DE Tahj Brown told another Rivals reporter that he'll be taking an official visit to Texas on the weekend of December 15. I've got a text out to confirm that visit, but it sounds like that one will happen.
Sunday 9:15 p.m. update - Spoke with UT quarterback commitment Cameron Rising tonight. Tim Beck did an in-home last week and will be back out in Cali tomorrow for another visit. Tom Herman is supposed to come out next Sunday, Rising said.
Rising is still set to sign in December and enroll in January. As always, he sounds to me like he's thrilled with his Texas commitment, but he did say a couple schools (LSU and Arizona State) continue to try to get him to take a last-minute visit. When I asked Rising if those visits were possible, he didn't completely rule it out, but said he really hasn't spent much time thinking about it either.
