South Grand Prairie's Dewayne Peace has settled on Arizona after originally dropping Michigan -- the Wolverines were asking him to play cornerback, but Peace was looking to run at WR, and Arizona gave him that chance. Friendswood's Andre Gautreaux, after an earlier courtship with Wyoming, has chosen Rice -- his versatile talents will be a good fit for an Owls squad looking to fill in some offensive blanks. And Texarkana Texas High's Cobi Hamilton, despite offers from a number of other BCS programs (including UT) has chosen Arkansas -- I guess that's closer to home than an in-state school when you're out in Texarkana.
ROLLISON SETTLES ON AUBURN (1/27/09)
All season long, the eyes of Texas were cast on Lake Travis QB Garrett Gilbert; record-setter, state champ, Messiah. If you have an accolade, it's likely he's heard it. But fast on his heels was Sulphur Springs QB Tyrik Rollison, also a state champ and (in any other year) record-setter. Part of Gilbert's incredible media hype came from his early and decisive commitment to the University of Texas -- the hometown boy providing the face for his hometown school. Rollison, on the other hand, remained a mystery ... until now.
