If you could pick 5 Texas high schools for North Texas to get all of the talent out of them (we are guaranteed to get any player from these schools that we want) which would you choose?  

I'd pick Desoto, Cedar Hill, Katy, Cibolo Steele and either Guyer or Ryan for the Denton connection.

Not as well as the kid from a Desoto or Cedar Hill

But these silly kids these days don't like the triple option. Gunter, which is just north of Celina, with the 29-7 lead in the 2nd quarter over Boling in the 3A DII Championship.

Desoto and Cedar Hill are communities that are populated by the families who could afford to move out of Oak Cluff and South Dallas.  Their fathers (and fathers' fathers) were good to great athletes w

No brainer, DeSoto.

I'm an Arlington Martin guy, so I'd like to see a pipeline from there.  I don't even know if we're good.  I haven't kept up with HS football since I graduated.

Allow me to answer.

Your program isn't just good, it's damn good and had Emmitt allowed more options Martin would be my 7th pick right behind Austin Westlake.

Coach Wager has it going on for sure, and with the lax residential requirements that is the UIL and the AISD he has the pick of the litter of a massive district.  

And we do have a pipeline there.  Our RB Nick Smith is from there so we're doing good in that regard as well.

Don't forget Tyler Wilson he came from there as well. Wager was at the North Texas Clinic I went to and he was joined at the hip with Littrell and Perry.

So question because I don't really follow high school or recruiting and I honestly don't know.  

How well does the uber well funded high school athlete in an elite (cough..recruited semi-pro...cough) program like Allen tend to perform in college?

Can you expound on that a little?  And do I correctly derive that DeSoto and Cedar Hill aren't recipients of unlimited funding? 

Desoto and Cedar Hill are communities that are populated by the families who could afford to move out of Oak Cluff and South Dallas.  Their fathers (and fathers' fathers) were good to great athletes who didn't have the money or environment of an Allen.  

They're now middle class (so not recipients of unlimited funding) so their schools are better and they are coached better.  

Natural talent with moderate coaching beats money and personal trainers.  

Now, this isn't to say that places like Allen can't offer jobs (recruit) the parents of athletic kids...but look at the rivals and scout recruiting lists for Desoto and Cedar Hill; they just have athletes in greater abundance so they will stay on top unlike an Allen who you can now see slipping

If Desoto and Cedar Hill hadn't been put in the same division of 6A they might both be state champs this year.

Wasn't Cedar Hill the HS that had like 20 D1 guys sign a few years ago in one senior class? May have been Oak Cliff. 

Woodlands/Katy is Houston's version of Allen/SL.

No to Katy.  Many more school in greater Houston area schools with D1 talent.  Manvel, Alief Taylor, and North Shore are probably the biggest in the area.  Katy would be probably in the 15-20 range just in the Houston Area if u had to guess.

Money impacts high school in the following ways:

1. Better Coaching

2. More Coaching (camps)

3. More opportunities

Basically the 10,000 hours theory.

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.
