That looks like the Frogs in home visit which has been planned. That is not the same thing as an official visit to the school. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Daylon Mack canceling <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TCU?src=hash">#TCU</a> visit this weekend not indicative they r lagging.

This Daylon Mack dude lives for the attention way too much to go to some small school like TCU. I bet he's Aggie bound like originally in the end.
Well then it means that him canceling the visit doesn't mean **** if he is tweeting out himself throwing up the frogs sign.
It doesn't mean as much as you think. He did the same thing yesterday with Charlie Strong and also with Kevin Sumlin. It's standard procedure for the visiting coach to get get the recruit in some school paraphanalia throwing at that schools sign for a pic. It's aldo common practice for that recruit to tweet out something positive #gofrogs or #hookem or #gigem. TCU has a good shot at Mack but don't over sell the value of that tweet.
Oh I'm with you. I just saw that tweet and then read the post about him canceling his TCU visit. This is one of the most interesting NSD leadups in recent memory.
No kidding. Who would want to live in a small town like Fort Worth when you could live in the gleaming metropolisises that are Auburn or Starkville or Bryan or Tallatucky etc....
No offense, but Mike Farrell is a hack. I wouldn't trust what he says. I have found 247 Sports to be more reliable.

I think Murray made the wrong decision, but of course it's not my decision to make. Best of luck to him.
Damn that was tough to swallow, especially considering how close it seemed at the end. No worries though. Coach Strong was able to impact a top recruit in the nation with a 6-7 record in the Big 12. We still have a few prospects to look at and I'm excited for the future. In Strong we believe.
So has everyone here given up on Swoopes? What are the chances he improves a hell of a lot by the start of the season?
http://texas.247sports.com/Article/Texas-Longhorns-Kyler-Murray-Charlie-Strong-Jerrod-Heard-35192505 What's the worst-case scenario? It's the winner of a spring and summer battle between Swoopes and Heard as to who the starting quarterback will be in South Bend on Sept. 5. If Heard is the guy, the Longhorns will have no choice but to tweak the offense to implement more quarterback run game elements and simple route concepts to make the game easier for Heard when he plays early on. The staff isn't down on Heard, and he's not viewed as a lost cause. He simply had a tough time getting acclimated to what has been said to be a complex playbook of reads compared to what he had to deal with in high school. At this point, the Longhorns might have no other choice but do whatever is necessary to get Heard ready to roll. Barring something unforeseen at this point, he looks like the best option.
TCU is a small school, but Ft Worth a small town? It's like the 17th largest city in the U.S. with a population close to 800,000 and growing!
