Friday Recruiting Notes
Let's jump right inFirst, I received word from a few sources that Clear Creek OL Chad Lindberg has a few visits coming up including a stop by Texas A&M to meet with Coach Henson. He will visit Clemson and Georgia over Spring Break and he plans to attend Texas' spring game. Notre Dame and Northwestern are a couple of other visit possibilities. Everything I have heard and continue to hear points to this being a Stanford/Texas recruiting battle, but getting him to College Station with Henson is a big step. I have to say I like the Aggies chances with recent offer Javion Cohen out of Phenix City (AL) Central. As he told us after receiving his offer, his dad is a Jimbo Fisher fan and he already knows coach Henson well. Henson offered when he was at Oklahoma State. He already has a good chemistry with coach Henson, and Cohen and his family have already started planning a visit to Texas A&M. Another OL to watch is Englewood (CO) Cherry Creek center Carson Lee. He is currently committed to Colorado, but he is another guy coach Henson offered when he was at Oklahoma State. Lee was at the Opening Regional in Dallas last weekend and had the most awesome mullet. On a serious note, he also whipped some butt at center and made the top OL group at the end. He is not a big guy at about 6-2, but he is stout and quick and strong. I would not be surprised if the Aggies take an interest, and from what I have heard from a few sources interest would be reciprocated.I caught up with Arik Gilbert earlier this week, and while he did not have a visit scheduled for Texas A&M, he did plan to take one this spring. After talking with a few different sources, early April seems like a good possibility. He also plans to attend spring games at Georgia and Tennessee. This one is going to be a tough pull with Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, and Tennessee all making him a priority, but getting him on campus would be a huge first step. I will say this, keep an eye on Tennessee, the Vols already have a commitment from his friend, teammate, and QB Harrison Bailey, and he said they are recruiting him the hardest out of anyone.Brauninger mentioned this the other day, but Little Elm cornerback Ryan Watts, who was initially planning to visit this week, will now visit next week. He is on spring break next week and he will likely take a visit during the week.
