Around Texas: A round-up of recruiting news in the Lone Star State

Predicting the Finish: 2018 Texas A&M recruiting class projections

Note on Leon O'Neal & a few more quick hitters
Three different sources in the greater Houston area indicated to me that they believe CySprings S Leon O'Neal would be an Aggie if Signing Day were this week. Word is he has formed a really tight bond with commit Jordan Moore, and the two are now 7 on 7 teammates. For me, I had viewed O'Neal as being wide open and even mentioned to Jason a couple weeks ago that my gut felt like he was leaning out of state to an Alabama or Ohio St. I still think he'll take his visits and go through the process, but it was intriguing to hear different people offer the same opinion on where the Aggies stood. -I've been told 2018 Giddings WR and Texas Tech commit Treveon Johnson is very interested in A&M. The Aggies are currently in the cat bird's seat for a lot of top end WR, but I'm hearing Johnson would like to get to campus asap. -Still haven't heard any set plans for the second A&M Junior Day. I'd bet on Friday Night Light's being a big production/recruiting weekend. -Could A&M be close to moving on 2020 Southlake Carroll DB RJ Mickens? At least one source I talk to seems to think so. I asked his dad (Ray Mickens) a while back if RJ would have a choice if the Aggies offered, he smiled and jokingly said, "Yes and no."-Keep an eye on some more offers going out soon.
