You have to face hard facts - our beloved North Texas State turned UNT is not at the top of the football chain.  Therefore, we are not going to get the best players in the state.

Hence...

...your coaching staff must recruit with a small state mentality.  Nebraska, Oklahoma, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama...these are not high population states.  Their rosters are not filled with exclusively player from their states...for decades!

Peter's peppers, you all!  Joe Namath went to Beaver Falls High in Beaver Falls, PENNSYLVANIA.  Yet, he went to college at Alabama.  Do you understand how far ahead of the game some small state college coaches were thinking even in 1961?  Less than half of OU's Heisman winners were from Oklahoma. 

Come on! 

UNT must, must, must go out and get the best they can from any of the dadgum 50 states that they can.  The best players in Texas are going to the power schools - in and out of state! 

Boise State built by recruiting the snot out of California, not Montana and Idaho!  Our coaches are not going to outrecruit the SEC and Big 12 coaches that swarm the state of Texas. 

This "ties to Texas high school coaches" malarkley  has got to be put to bed by someone - Mason Fine, maybe?  No more coaches who fawn over Texas high school coaches and their pointless egos.  It's a damn numbers game.   

We've got to get who we can, when we can, and where we can!  And, we need a coach and coaching staff who knows how and why to do it!

 

Kinda like what La Tech does, right?

BTW, I was correct about La Tech’s OL from Burleson.

Kody Russey benched 465, squated 720, dead lifted 740 and had a total weight of 1926lbs at the state meet in 2016, which I believe set the state record at the time for his class.

Sorry, but your comment just doesn't make any sense.  I get what you are trying to say, but you are missing the mark.  For instance, you site Boise State.  Not much to recruit in Idaho so they hit California hard.  You think they were out recruiting USC, UCLA and the rest of the PAC 12?  No, they were getting the best of the rest.  The second tier players in Texas are usually better than the best in some other states.

I think that used to be true, but the glorified 7-on-7 we play now at our high schools in Texas is showing how little defense matters in this state. Look at our colleges (include OU and OSU ). All of them play spread offenses, all of them have bad defenses. Big XII, AAC, CUSA, and SBC—the Texas schools can score a lot but can’t match up with physical teams that play defense in other states. A&M barely competes in the SEC, the Big XII schools almost always get pummeled by the physical teams in the Southeast, none of the AAC, SBC, or CUSA schools from here can compete week-in and week-our with the teams in the Southeast, either.
