Will "Rita" hurt FB recruiting in Beaumont area?

[OldTimer]

At least one NT prospect from Beaumont is living in Lewisville...evacutated by hurrican Rita. Beaumont has yet to reopen its schools...he is not playing in Lewisville spending his time on video and weights. Beaumont schools are to open in the near future, but even then it will take a period of conditioning before they can play games.

I understand that Houston, Baytown and surrounding towns have reopened their schools.

The Interscholastic League has announced that the Beaumont School district may just select a team for the playoffs, because of this situation.

There was a nice article in the *Telegram yesterday on this kid.

Not only Rita but Katrina as well. It is something that may both help and hurt recruiting. Many players from NO had to move to schools here in TX. Therefore many low to mid-level players have been lost in the move. I know down here in Houston most 5A schools have had at least 1 transfer from NO. This maybe a apot where NT can come in and pick up a kid or two who now slip under the radar.

We need to focus on Dallas. We did not sign anyone from there last year.
