Parkway quarterback Brandon Harris named his top schools after spring practice concluded. The four-star quarterback, who is ranked fifth nationally among 2014 dual-threat passers, wasted little time making that list public, doing so late Thursday night, just hours after Parkway's spring football game concluded. The Aggies were among the seven schools that made the cut for Harris, who has double-digit offers and has seen his stock soar this spring as schools like Alabama, LSU and Ohio State have thrown their hats in the ring.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post?id=7946 Fri, 17 May 2013 09:30:17 EDT 7946 "Introducing the class" is a series in which GigEmNation conducts a Q&A session with each of the incoming recruits in Texas A&M's 2013 class to give readers a closer look at each player individually.

And why should he? The 2015 safety has been committed to Alabama since February. He’s perfectly content with that pledge. Recruiters aren’t backing off, but that doesn’t bother Thompson. In fact, he’s taking a break from it all. Starting this week, Thompson said his sole focus from now until December is his football team.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post?id=7915 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:00:37 EDT 7915 ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. is rolling out his early top five rankings at each position this week.

He'll play in front of coaches from several major colleges. At the end of the scrimmage, sometime around 7 p.m, he'll announce which six schools he plans on visiting this summer.

He’d just won three silver medals at the UIL State Track and Field Meet in Austin. Sheffield placed second in the 4A 110-hurdles, 300-meters and 4x100-meter relay. “I was hoping to win [them] but I am still happy that I got second at state,” Sheffield said Saturday. “I can’t comprehend it right now.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/tamu/post?id=7927 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:00:46 EDT 7927 "Coach's take" is a series which allows GigEmNation to offer readers a closer look at the incoming recruits in Texas A&M's 2013 class by visiting with someone who coached the player or coached against him.

Koda Martin’s size alone makes him an attractive prospect, but couple it with his ability to play on either side of the ball and it’s easy to see why the four-star recruit from Manvel, Texas, has close to 20 offers.
