Dartmouth is Ivy League right?
So they’re also not going up there for athletic scholarships. While I think Holy Cross gives athletic scholarships, the Patriot League is almost as academically sound and rigorous as the Ivy League.
I’m not saying it’s an impossibility to get some kids from texas to come to T, but I am saying the examples of two private schools with tip-top notch academics may not be a fitting one for us to use.

Touche. Austin Pery has HAS 11 kids from Texas on the roster.. I'd like to point out that this side of the world is mostly POWER 5 and FBS. FCS schools are primarily east coast. Many kids in Texas are boarder line FBS/FCS players, but they end up D2 because of the limited number of FCS schools in this area with proper facilities. DFW Aggies has a significant alumni chapter here. Houston Kappa league goes to A&T every year with 30+ young men. I think the soil is perfect right now. Follow some of the best trainers in the nation. David Robinson - NFL WR coach - Son just committed to Boston College - @drobalwayzopen Flight - DB Coach - Trained christian gonzalez - @flightskillz

David Robinson - NFL WR coach - Son just committed to Boston College - @drobalwayzopen Flight - DB Coach - Trained christian gonzalez - @flightskillz that statement is not a true observation. A lot of kids in Texas will prefer staying close to home. Regionally Texas is in a prime location for FCS programs or programs at any level. FCS programs are within a 12 hour drive of the state of Texas in abundance. Has the saying goes you can't get them all and the ones that choose to stay closer to home choose to attend a lower level program if they are not picked up by the FCS program of their choice. There are too many variables to determine why a young athlete chooses to stay at home or drop down to a lower level program to stay at home. So our blanket statement like that it's not accurate. In closing I will say all recruitment of perspective athletes are mostly Regional. A program tries to acquire the best in their region and then Reach Out to other regions to recruit the of the needed pieces. Trust me Texas is being recruited.

Ok I wont make that statement even thought I know it's true. I'll let 247 make it for me. 247sports.com/article/college-football-recruiting-texas-texas-am-oklahoma-alabama-ohio-147476171/ (The 2018 class saw a momentary recovery for in-state schools at 62.0 percent, but as noted above, the out-of-state schools took control in 2019 and 2020. In-state programs signed only 44.7 percent in 2019, followed by 45.4 percent in 2020.) That's for 4 and 5 stars.. you don't think this FCS-caliber player following suit? You can hit more FCS school on one tank of gas on the east coast than a day of driving in Texas lol. It's gonna take four hours just to get from Dallas To Houston. There are 10 FCS programs in Dallas and 6 in LA. Most of them are anywhere between 4 to 10 hours apart from each other. There are 13 between NC and SC you could probably visit the majority of them in 9 hours.

This is about Transplanting Talent from Texas significant miles away from home. Where it would be almost impossible for there families and fans to be able to watch them play especially when there are numerous FCS programs with in there region . Also the next time you're over at TCU tell Major Everhart that Coach Ford said that he knew beforehand that he would be great and to tell his Father I said hello 👋 SMIB RESPECT

One of the things to consider when recruiting TX that is plus+… There are more people in Dallas & Houston Metros than the entire state of NC !

Personally I’d just leave it up to the coaches. If there’s a coach with contacts out that way and you feel comfortable recruiting there, then recruit there. If it’s outside your desired recruiting area or you don’t feel it would be a boost then leave it alone.

Truthfully this should not even be a conversation.

It's Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, El Paso, and the RGV. It's not just football. It's baseball, softball, volleyball, xc, basketball, soccer, and golf to name a few. I believe Texas is larger than Va, NC, and SC combined and may even be larger than VA, NC, and GA combined. I believe we could have this same discussion about California. Aggienumber4 that's a good map for reference. What's the link? At a minimum, I saw a football recruiting camp flyer online for the Dallas area. It was a major camp. I believe 50 to 100 schools were going to attend. A&T's logo was among the schools on the flyer.

Don't forget the Amarillo north Texas region which excludes Lubbock and Wichita Falls that is somewhat over looked even with in the state of Texas..i.e THE West Texas region . Tascosa High School along with Amarillo High have a number of talented athletes especially O and D lineman . Texas is fertile ground and Texas is being recruited.

Well WOFFORD JUST OFFERED *Shrug* Guess the coaches there read my email We need defensive linemen IMO it would be unwise for us not to recruit Texas, One of our Coaches' has experience recruiting Texas. personally, i don't believe texas should be high on our recruiting areas. i can see recruiting texas "remotely" via video and social media, but that's about it. "florida" has just as many top recruits as texas and probably "more" than texas. we already recruit florida, there's no need to emphasize texas too cuz texas is much further away than florida. i think our coaches already are recruiting the regions of the country that's most productive "for us". i believe our primary recruiting focus is first and foremost the carolinas, the dmv, and georgia. i think those are our recruiting hotbeds and rightfully so. no doubt texas is a fertile ground for recruiting football players, but that doesn't mean that we can't find just as many talented recruits closer to home. we already recruit "florida" which is even more fertile than texas. we don't need to go half across the country to texas to find talent. we've been very successful with the recruits we've brought in previously from the areas i mentioned above. if it ain't broke, don't fix it...
