Today marks the first SEC matchup for Texas as a conference member, which is big in its own right. Both @Gerry Hamilton and @CJ Vogel have you covered on the football recruiting front, as Sark and Co. will host prospects this weekend.
They aren’t the only ones, however, as both the baseball and women’s basketball staff will use today to their advantage.
Baseball:
- Texas will host six recruits again this weekend. They’ve hosted a combined 13 over the previous two games, which went very well, and today will be no different.
- Don’t be surprised if this results in more commitments after the visit.
- Last weekend Schloss and staff hosted 7 total recruits. They already reeled in multiple commitments from that and I’m told they aren’t done with that group yet. The coaches feel really good about where things stand with a handful of those guys.
- The entire baseball staff is putting in extra hours between practice and recruiting. It’s basically full throttle right now for everyone, from the head coach all the way down to the support staff.
- On a related note, I’m told fall practice is going really well.
Women’s Basketball:
- By now everyone knows that the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Aaliyah Chavez, is on campus. I’m told that the visit is going GREAT. This isn’t just from the Texas side of things either. A source, who has no irons in the (recruiting) fire, said the Horns are knocking it out of the park.
- Chavez’s visit continues today and she will take in the Texas vs. Mississippi State game later this afternoon.
