Kedrick James

Rapid-fire notes and I'll provide some follow-up and additional Monday snippets later tonight once I'm caught up on Game of Thrones:- Expect the Ags to move on 2017 DE/OLB Rahyme Johnson, a four-star prospect out of Los Angeles. The 6-4, 215-pound edge rusher attended the camp that Kevin Sumlin and a couple of other A&M assistants took part in yesterday at Long Beach Poly. The Bishop Mora Salesian defender competed in the camp and impressed, not resting on his laurels following a stellar showing at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta the day before. I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson end up as the only '17 offer from the event. Nebraska currently leads big for a player who one source told me was a Randy Gregory clone on the field but the Ags are set to enter the race and, by all accounts, look like a team capable of contending.- Speaking of California prospects, the Ags currently have one very big visitor in town. San Clemente QB Jack Sears is on campus spending time with Noel Mazzone and getting his first look at Aggieland and Texas A&M. While I'd still consider Sears a bit of a longshot and could definitely see him ending up at UCLA or perhaps even somewhere like Duke or Stanford, the fact that he's on campus and made the long journey from the West Coast gives the Ags a puncher's chance. More following Sears' visit.- One more quick note on an expected visitor: As I said early last week, Waco La Vega TE Kedrick James was going to try and make his way to the 'YESSIR!' BBQ on Saturday after taking the ACT but, if not, would re-schedule and be on campus shortly thereafter. Well, James ended up sitting the event out following a long morning but now plans to visit College Station this weekend on Saturday. Stay tuned at the tight end position, because there are three prime-time candidates for the final spot in the class and Saturday visitor Camron Horry of Katy Taylor is fully aware of the fact that James will be making the short drive from Waco on Saturday.

With the camp at Coppell High School and the Yessir BBQ behind the Aggies, Billy Liucci takes on a host of Texas A&M recruiting topics, analyzing the reaction and possible implications stemming from the weekend. Which prospects took notice?

Jim Turner's full-on charge back onto the Texas recruiting scene has resulted in Texas A&M identifying — and successfully pursuing — a clear set of targets on the O-line. Meanwhile, who will emerge from a plethora of uncertain options at tight end?
