Thursday night miscellaneous recruiting notes
-Spoke to a reputable source in Houston this evening that called A&M commit Luke Matthews "the most like Bruce" out of all the linemen that family has pumped out. Over the course of the past couple of weeks, I've had other trainers/football folks say similar things. I'm thinking he'll get a nice bump when we update our rankings in July. -Speaking of the OL, it seems as though the Aggies are currently in somewhat of a holding pattern. With Matthews and Colten Blanton in the boat, A&M has been working on Marshall big man Chasen Hines, but that LSU commit is very strong. I've talked to some folks that said A&M still remains very much at the forefront for Ft Bend Marshall's Barton Clement, who will be here for the BBQ on the 18th. Right now, I'd say that's the best bet to round out the OL haul should A&M take another guy. -When I asked about a decision timetable for Manvel OLB and recent Aggie offer Brian Johnson, I was told "this thing could wrap up in a matter of weeks." Should that be the case, I'd lay money on the Aggies or Baylor. He also tweeted this tonight:https://twitter.com/brianojohnson/status/870449916086067200-In 2019, the Aggies will welcome some prospects that have been on the evaluation sheet throughout the spring. These guys could see offers with a good camp performance: Crandall's Branson Bragg, SA O'Connor's Brannon Brown, and A&M Consolidated's Reid Francis. Additionally, A&M may get LSU commit Kenyon Green (Atascocita) and Oak Ridge's Tyler Johnson in camp, but that remains to be seen. -I was told tonight that the Fast Houston 7 on 7 team will make the trip up for camp on Sunday. There will be a couple of big names missing as Jaylen Waddle and D'Shawn Jamison will be competing in the Under Armour Speed event, but it'll still be an impressive group brought in by Ro Simon (Founder of Fast Houston). Some prospects that are expected to be in town are Houston Heights CB Jalen Green (he recently told me the Ags were out, but if he makes it to campus, who knows), CyFalls DB Starrland Baldwin (Oklahoma commit), and 2019 Cuero ATH Jordan Whittington. -I'm waiting to hear back for confirmation, but there's Talk that Conroe Oak Ridge DE Joseph Ossai could be making the quick trip to College Station on Sunday as well. ***Update*** Spoke to a source in north Houston who very much believes Ossai could make a decision in the near future. The word I got was that Joseph has been decked in A&M gear a whole bunch lately, and he will indeed make the trip up on Sunday. Keep an eye out here. There could be action.-It sounds like A&M is already planning a second BBQ in July where they'll host mostly top 2019 targets. A handful of front line guys have started to mention that as a future event they'll attend.
