It’s that time of year, where recruiting takes center stage and things can and do change in an instant.
Case in point, Buford defensive end Dre Quinn, as he was leaving Austin on Sunday, told reporters he would likely be foregoing his visit to Notre Dame that was scheduled for this upcoming weekend.
Well, he got home, consulted with family, and yesterday afternoon decided he would go ahead and take that visit to Notre Dame.
But…
A report late last night from a Notre Dame reporter said Quinn had ultimately decided against visiting South Bend this weeekend and will instead announce a commitment between Texas and Clemson.
If you feel like you’ve been on a Merry-Go-Round just reading that story, imagine how recruits and coaches feel. After all, they’re the ones actually living this reality.
I say all this for one reason:
Remember, things can change on a dime in recruiting, often multiple times and often within just hours.

While it’s a lot of fun to keep up with the skill position players in recruiting, it’s really the OL and DL where the rubber meets the road.
Texas has two commits on the OL and two on the DL.
All four are guys the Horns like a lot.
But I suspect that total number to double (or perhaps go to 10) by the first week or so of July.
In other words, decisions are starting to be made.
