That area of the Metroplex...Hurst, Euless, Bedford and areas progressing W. from there, have had a growing community from the Samoan Islands and the central S. Pacific for nearly a decade now. I'm hoping this opens the floodgates of UT recruits from there.
Yeah, that would be nice. I was reading an article a couple of weeks ago, I meant to post it in here but forgot. I wished I had because now, I've forgotten what site it was on.
Anyway, the article was interesting because it was pointing out that schools, particularly Saban and Alabama, have started making offers and trying to schedule late on Texas commits. I.E., players that have aready committed to Texas, schools are starting to offer and schedule trips with after the commit process and not before. I thought this was interesting. Obviously, they are trying to work on these kinds and force Mack Brown to cut them lose or offer up an ultimatum that will color the attitudes of Texas commits. Not for recruits they think they can compete for but recruits that are specifically already committed.
Apparently there is some pattern for it. IDK, anyway it's something that Texas is going to have to figure out how to deal with because it is proving to be effective.
