its going to be TCU or UT. If TCU gets him-you'll find out what a Pied Piper recruit is.

Texas fans seem VERY confident he signs w/ the Longhorns.

check out his stats from the championship game last year in case you missed it. i hope tcu gets him, it will just make our rivalry a bigger stage locally and nationally. imagine people preferring to watch tcu/smu instead of UT vs fill in the blank

Then they would be referring to the very large margin of victory TCU would be obtaining. Talent gap is too wide, don't need it any wider. Need to step up, start capitalizing on tangible momentum, and land some more talented recruits.

If there is one reason he may choose UT over TCU is the fact that the frogs already have a very good RB commitment, LaDarius Anthony

From the way it sounds on Orangebloods (Texas Rivals site) it would be a pretty major upset if he didn't sign with the Longhorns.

although TCU is loaded at RB with about 5 great RBs and/or signess and commitments-Texas just signed one of the Nation's best RBs for 2011-so I guess he might-don't know -want to keep from sitting behind Malcolm Brown at Texas too. That's TCU's best hope I think-I'd agree Texas is favored

Gray and Brown are really good friends. Gray has stated in interviews that he wouldn't mind playing w/ Brown at all. Kid's not afraid of competition.

From what I have read his dad does not want him to be the only back in the offense. He wants him to split carries so he isn't run down by the time he can jump to the NFL.

Wild rumors are out there that the decision will go out at midnight via the social media (facebook, twitter, text, etc.).

I guess run all over orangebloods, purplemenace or killerfrogs if you're interested.
