Did he visit just once the past few months or twice? I thought he visited twice, but I am only reading one visit in the Official/Unofficial visits thread.

His visit was originally planned for this last weekend, however he showed up earlier in the month. I believe he only visited once.

Knox decomitted on his own accord, but still has his offer to Texas. He's wide open with OSU, UCLA, and Miami leading. So much for Mack enforcing his own policy...

The story from the Texas boards is that Knox wanted to make more visits, Mack said no & Knox then decommitted.

Would love to get Knox and tOSU does look to have an advantage on the surface, but with all the drama so far and it's not even May, I'll be more ready to make a prediction once the fax comes thru on NSD.

Shaggy also has a quote from pay site that's attributed to Knox which doesn't suggest the wind is blowing in Ohio State's direction.

I mean Mack does have a point. He has a no visit policy and it seems he already allowed him one visit. He had no business committing if he planned to take these visits with the policy in place.

Report: Texas coaches thought 2014 OG Demetrius Knox ?was joking? when he told them he was decommitting, who could take Knox?s spot in Longhorns? recruiting class?

Five players, including blue-chippers Ricky Seals Jones, a wide receiver from Sealy, and Fort Worth Arlington Heights defensive tackle A?Shawn Robinson, decommitted from Texas last year, causing head coach Mack Brown to institute a no-visit policy for Longhorns commits.

Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal offensive tackle Demetrius Knox was the first Class of 2014 prospect to decommit from Texas earlier this month and, according to ESPN?s HornsNation, the Longhorns coaches didn?t believe Knox at first when informed that he was decomitting.

?The coaches were very surprised. They kind of thought I was joking at first,? Knox told HornsNation. ?I didn?t want to put it on social media or talk to anybody until they felt it was right to put it out there. They said they could keep me on their commit list until I openly told the public I was going to take visits somewhere else. I told them it was best to take me off.?

Knox may be the first casualty of Brown?s new no-visit policy for Texas commits but it?s not hurting the Longhorns? recruiting efforts as they boast the nation?s top recruiting class, according to ESPN, and have, by far, the most 2014 commits in the country (14), even after Knox?s decision.

His teammate, running back Daniel Gresham, is one of those 14 and says that he?s just as committed to Texas now as he was before Knox?s decommitment.

?[Knox said] that at the end of the day I have to do whatever is best for me,? said Knox, who also told HornsNation that he received derogatory comments in text messages from Longhorns fans who somehow got a hold of his phone number, further reaffirming his decision not to sign with Texas next February.

Dallas Skyline offensive tackle Ty Barrett, a three-star prospect, according to ESPN, told HornsNation that he was not surprised by Knox?s decommitment: ?I really talk to him a lot. I don?t know if he was comfortable? He really didn?t give off the vibe to me that he was very comfortable about what was going on.?

He likes the recruiting process and will take full advantage it looks like.

In the end, hopefully the relationships he has built with Ohio State's staff make him the most comfortable coming to Columbus.
