  1. (Greg Biggins) Four-Star DB Larry Turner-Gooden talks recent visit to Texas, sets four official trips

    Spoiler

    Mission Hills (Calif.) Alemany athlete Larry Turner-Gooden said his commitment to Arizona State remains strong but he recently visited Texas and is planning to take all five official trips in the fall.

    Turner-Gooden, who recently transferred in to Alemany after playing at Playa Del Rey (Calif.) St. Bernard a year ago, committed to Arizona State back in late February and said

    “My commitment to ASU is still strong,” Turner-Gooden said. “Obviously I’m watching what’s going on over there right now but I still feel good about my commitment and I have a great relationship with the coaches.

    “I always wanted to take my trips though. That was always part of the plan, even when I committed, I wanted to take all my trips and they were totally fine with that.”

    Turner-Gooden said he loved his visit to Texas and plans to be back for an official.

    “It was a great trip, I really liked it there,” Turner-Gooden said. “I loved the atmosphere, it’s really family oriented and the coaches were great with me. I spent a lot of time with coach Gideon (DB coach) and talked with coach Sark as well.

    “I did a workout with coach Gideon and got some great feedback from him. They told me they love me as a player and would love to have as part of the team. It was cool to see and talk with those guys in person. I've been talking with coach Gideon for awhile now but it was good to actually meet him face to face and connect that way."

    Turner-Gooden said he didn’t get the full facility tour but still saw a lot of the campus.

    “They’re upgrading the facilities right now so there’s a lot of construction going on,” Turner-Gooden said. “I still loved what I saw and can only imagine how nice it will look when it’s all done.

    “I walked the campus though and I liked the city of Austin as well. I’m going back for my official when they play Oklahoma State (Oct. 16) and I’m definitely looking forward to it.”


    Turner-Gooden has three other official trips locked in as well.

    “ I’m going to Penn State when they play Auburn (Sept, 18),” Turner-Gooden said. “My visit to ASU will be when they host USC (Nov. 6) and I had Oregon set up but I have to move the date so I'll get that locked in soon here. 

    “For that last visit, I would love to check out LSU and they’re talking to me a little bit right now. Colorado and UCLA are in there too. Right now, I’m just building relationships with the coaches. After I got committed, a lot of the schools stopped recruiting me but Texas is still coming hard. They’re recruiting me the hardest right now outside of ASU so that’s why I have real interest in them.”

     

  2. Roach updates

    Spoiler

    Sunday 1:50 p.m. : Just spoke with Devon Campbell who is leaving campus now. He said the trip went great and he felt like a huge priority for Texas. He sat in on coaching meetings with Kyle Flood yesterday and got a feel for his coaching style and knowledge. He called Flood’s style unique and was impressed by his knowledge. He also hung out with former Bowie OL Tope Imade. He met once again with Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood this morning. Campbell will return in the fall for an official visit.

    Sunday, 2:03 p.m. : I haven’t yet connected with Duncanville OL Cam Williams, but a source near him told me the visit went extremely well for Texas. He will announce his decision this week and I think Texas benefitted from having the last trip.

    Sunday, 12 p.m. : Jaylon Guilbeau just left campus. The Texas commit said he had a good time and was hosted by D’Shawn Jamison. He said he did a little recruiting while on the trip talking to Bryce Anderson who will be the last person to leave. Guilbeau is standing firm that his commitment is solid but he also said he will keep his options open until he signs. With guys leaving campus, Nick and I will be reaching out and updating this thread.
