Josh Lair

The high school and college football seasons might be over, but recruiting never stops. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings on the Lone Star state recruiting front as the offseason ensues.

Things finally quieted down for Mike Elko with a not-as-busy weekend that still proved quite productive with the additions of Australian punter Keegan Andrew and OL Robert Bourdon. Still plenty of targets to pursue, the next couple of weeks promise to be chock-full of action.

Wedding schmedding. Recruiting doesn't take days off. I was able to come across a couple of pieces of interesting intel this evening in a pair of phone calls I got out of Houston. First, some of you may have seen that Ft Bend Marshall DB Josh Lair has been released from his LOI with Washington following the coaching changes. A source in Missouri City tells me the Aggies have followed up on him. While it isn't on the books just yet, don't be surprised if he sets up a visit between now and the first weekend in February. As with most kids coming out of that program, Lair is a phenomenal athlete that very much looks the part of a next level safety. He's also young in his development as he switched full time from quarterback to defensive back after his sophomore season. - As I've said before, don't expect the Aggies to slow down in their pursuit of 5 star North Shore CB Devin Sanchez. Even in the face of his recent commitment to Ohio State, Mike Elko and Ish Aristide are continuing their quest to build solid relationships with Devin and his inner circle. I'm told members of the coaching staff were at the school again today. That is their second trip to the North Shore campus since Elko was hired. He's solid with the Buckeyes currently, but the Aggies just plan on trying to chip away. Certainly a long way to go still, but I think they could end up being a problem for Ryan Day and company.
