ULTRA MEGA BIG 12 RECRUITING WEEKEND WRAP-UP THREAD

It's been VERY busy in Big 12 land recruiting-wise over the past couple of days.  So much has happened and Big 12 Recruit has only covered a small portion of it.  Below is what has all happened (I think) with links to some of the stories.  Comment below for any discussion points or questions.
  • NEW UPDATE:  Texas landed 3-star WR Garret Gray who had offers from Iowa State, Iowa, Houston, Cal, and others.  At 6'5/205+, he's got nice size and great speed (4.45) with potential to play tight end in Austin.
  • NEW UPDATE:  Baylor picked up yet another commit in LB James David.  David, a 3-star prospect, chose the Bears over TCU, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Washington, and Houston.
  • Baylor's recruiting being hot is an understatement.  Art Briles picked up FOUR commitments over the weekend.  The headliner being 4-star OLB/S T'Kevian Rockwell with the others being ATH Jourdan Blake, DT Ira Lewis, and DT Andrew Morris.  Baylor now has the largest class in the country along with a top 10 nationally ranked class at the moment.
  • Texas gained three 2015 commitments over the weekend including now former TCU safety commit Johnny Shaw.  The other two are ATH Keke Coutee and OT Connor Lanfear.  That's now seven total commits for UT's 2015 class which is larger than TCU, Iowa State, Kansas, and West Virginia's 2014 classes.
  • Speaking of Texas stealing TCU commits, Emanuel Porter decommitted from the Frogs a day after receiving an offer from Texas.  Porter signing with Texas seems very likely right now.
  • Oklahoma State picked up a pair of commitments on Sunday at their camp.  Edna Karr teammates (New Orleans) DT Joyan Williams and CB Juwan Offray are the two new Cowboys.
  • Offensive tackle Justin Murphy is #13 for Kliff Kingsbury and Texas Tech.
  • Iowa State WR commit Allen Lazard and Texas QB Jerrod Heard competed this weekend at the Rivals 5-star Challenge.  Expect a post about that tomorrow.
