As the dead period has already hit, many SEC teams made a final push at landing summertime commitments from some of the top talents in the nation. Jason Howell examines the latest news and trends on the recruiting front.

The big question now that Ryan Watts is what will the Aggies do now. First, I do not expect the priorities to change much as Brauny pointed out on another thread. For one, the Aggies do have a commitment from the top CB in Texas, Jaylon Jones. I also look for Texas A&M to continue to pursue Watts. He has been a priority target for the coaches and there is still a long way to go before things are official. Blinn JC corner Marco Domio is also a high priority, and he has a shown a lot of interest in the Aggies since receiving his offer a couple of weeks ago. We have been saying this since his spring game visit, but I would put the Aggies at the top of his list. Aldine MacArthur CB Josh Eaton, Klein Oak DB Dwight McGlothern, and Broken Arrow (OK) DB Myles Slusher are a few other top targets to keep an eye on, as well as recently mentioned Christian Gonzalez of The Colony who should see the Aggies by his school in the near future. -On the running back front, I heard from a recent DFW source that Mesquite Poteet RB Seth McGowan continues to keep the Aggies high on his list and it looks like he will take a visit to College Station in the next few months. The Aggies were the only Texas team in his February top 8. -Phenix City (AL) Javion Cohen recently decommitted from South Carolina and he hit the road for stops at Georgia Tech and Auburn. Before committing to South Carolina, he had the Aggies high on his list and he has a strong bond with coach Henson. Since decommitting Henson and Cohen have been in touch and Cohen says the Aggies are definitely back in the mix. Now, the task will be getting him on campus, which Cohen says will likely have to be for an official visit and he is not planning to take those any time soon. Another OL to keep an eye on is Andrew Raym of Broken Arrow (OK). This is another prospect coach Henson has developed a good bond with dating back to before he was at A&M. I have heard from sources in Oklahoma there is mutual interest and I would not be surprised if the Aggies get an unofficial visit in the near future.-Tyler JC LB Maureese Wren is another intriguing prospect to watch. He visited this spring and he has stayed in touch with the Texas A&M staff. Look for the Aggies to be by TJC this week to check him out. He has official visits scheduled for Missouri (June 7) and Oregon State (June 21), and he will take an unofficial visit to Alabama on June 1.

It's time to take a look around at the biggest pick-ups on the recruiting front as well as some of the top recruiting news and notes from around the SEC. Jason Howell details just that and more in this week's Around the SEC.
