In my decade long effort to get Texas Football to recruit the Left Coast with more fervor, I published this piece on Inside Texas. It outlines some of the basics for why Texas should focus its efforts on California, the Southwestern satellite cities (Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City) and, occasionally, Louisiana.
So, it’s not surprising that Texas already has 2019 commitments from two of the Top 26 composite ranked players in California (Adimora, Floyd) and two of the Top 3 in Arizona (Smith, Liebrock).
We should be doing even more.
In a pay feature, I quantify the opportunity further.
