Recruiting about to get a little harder?

[El Paso Eagle]

Listening to several podcasts and going through Twitter, one thing that has been mentioned by several PAC 12 coaches moving to the Big 12 is that even though they recruited Texas before, this move will give them much more access and open more doors than ever before in Texas. One of the Arizona coaches who had been at Memphis) also mentioned that schools will soon find out there are hidden gems in the state of Oklahoma.

I don't think it will be that big of a differences. Schools like Colorado, Arizona State and Utah have already been having great success in Texas. They may grab a couple more kids a year. But I don't think it will be earth shattering.

The one comment made by a coach, I believe from Arizona, was that they had kids interested in the past, but in the end, the kids didn't want to play all of their games on the West Coast. He said now they can offer having games in the region yearly.

Out of the 4 schools Arizona has had the least amount of success. I am sure it will help a little.

if we can get some of the west coast schools in the AAC it might open up our recruiting in California.
