From ESPN...
Standout defensive end Mario Edwards (Denton, Texas/Ryan) didn’t hint one way or the other about leaning more to Oklahoma and less to Florida State after a huge weekend visit in Norman with multiple commits and top prospects on hand.
The five-star Seminoles commit and the nation’s top-ranked player did comment on how he enjoyed being in Norman and all that it had to offer.
“It was pretty good, a nice experience,” said Edwards, who attending the Sooners' team banquet weekend festivities. “I got to really get a feel for the place. It was a pretty good environment.”
Edwards said he had a chance to spend some time with uncommitted four-star athlete Nelson Agholor (Tampa, Fla./Berkeley Prep) and three-star defensive end Kyle Kelley (Irvine, Calif./Woodbridge). Agholor is ranked No. 41 in the ESPNU 150; Kelley recorded 23 sacks during his senior season.
“They are really good players,” Edwards said. "They are nice guys to get to know.”
Edwards verbally committed to Florida State in March. For months, though, he has been open about visiting other schools in an effort to make the right decision. Edwards has had interest in Oklahoma, LSU, Texas and USC.

From ESPN on Torshiro Davis:
ESPNU 150 defensive end Toshiro Davis (Shreveport, La./Woodlawn) got more than he anticipated on his official visit to see the Cornhuskers. In fact, he was blown away.
“It was way better than I expected,” Davis said. “The facilities and the coaches were the best part. The players were cool. I couldn’t believe some of the things I saw, especially their facilities. I didn’t expect the visit to be that good. It was eye-opening and gave me something to think about.”
Davis, who has been a longtime commitment to the top-ranked Tigers says he’s still committed to LSU. But he’s taking a few trips just to make sure. Last week he made an official visit to Texas.
“Yeah, last week I went to Texas and it was really cool,” Davis said. “My mom and I really liked it. We had a great time. They have nice facilities and the coaches are really cool. We got to spend a lot of time with Mack Brown and I know they need some defensive line help.
"It’s Texas and they have everything.”
Davis, 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, says he will now make his official visit to LSU (Jan. 6) next month. He’s ranked the No. 8 defensive end in the nation, No. 70 overall in the ESPNU 150 and the No. 2 player from the state of Louisiana.

Sounds a little different from his quotes following the Texas visit:
“They had a lot to offer, and I definitely had a good time down there,” Edwards said. “They’re definitely on my radar.”
“I think I really jumped the gun and didn’t get to see what other schools had to offer,”

I've got some Mario stuff coming this evening.
Not bad news in the Texas vs. Oklahoma visit category.

Those who can, do; those who can't, coach; those who never could, complain about the first two.

After all is said and done I believe he keeps his commitment to FSU. He and his daddy are just doing their due diligence, just doing it in reverse.
