With the 2006 essentially full, title should have an effect on ’07 class.

I think Deon Beasley probably earned himself a shot on offense if he wants it.

Mack Brown makes the list and his assistants are pretty darn good as well.

Texas commit Jevan Snead at number 8.

Defensive back from Schertz Clemens (just north of San Antonio) James Henry has switched his commit from Oklahoma to Texas this weekend according to Orangebloods.com. Henry is a 3-star safety prospect who has good size (6’2″ and 195 pounds) and speed (4.4 40 yard dash) and was rising on many recruiting rankings before he broke his leg in October. Henry, who had offers from half a dozen of the nation’s top programs, becomes the 25th member of the Longhorns’ 2006 recruiting class.

It’s an added bonus to steal a commit from the Sooners, add a great kid to your program and subtract one from your rival at the same time.

Horns pull in several of the state’s top players, let’s hope they end up in school.

Several future Horns including Eddie Jones, Sergio Kindle, and Emmanuel Moody.

Good overview on the recent recruiting events including Snead to Texas.
