Major Burns

Been checking in with sources across the region throughout the afternoon to see what I could gather on a few of A&M's remaining targets. Here's what I've been able to gather...- Obviously, Major Burns trip to Athens this weekend was not ideal for A&M's efforts to land him down the final straightaway. I was able to gather a bit of intel on the in-home with the Aggie staff, and I do believe that, barring a public commitment on the other side of this OV to Georgia, Burns will choose between the Aggies and Bulldogs on Wednesday. In other words, I'd bet on him having an LOI from both universities. Like I said in the visitor thread, it sounds like the door has not completely shut on A&M just yet. I've been told Burns and his family have been in contact with Aggie coaching staff today. To sum it up though, I'd file this one in the doubtful category. - Heard today that Florida is gearing up for one last push at Dallas Jesuit RB EJ Smith. The Gator staff feels like they've got enough time and equity put into this one over the entire cycle that it could pay off in the end. It's a little bit of an odd strategy for Mullen in company, trying to make late surges in the final few days, but it's worth it if they land EJ or Donell Harris. - Still nothing of any strong value on either side of the ledger for Zach Evans based on the conversations I've had today. Evans met one on one with Ed Orgeron and Jimbo Fisher over the course of the week. The intel I got today would indicate that the reports coming out of LSU that the Tigers are moving on to other running back recruits were a bit misleading...perhaps purposefully so. Evans is still very much a priority for the Tigers, and I do not believe they've moved on. Now, they may be checking around on some other guys, but it sounds like Zach remains their top target.
