I'm so so glad we finally got into east Texas to recruit.

Who was it that would always be on this foruim griping that Dodge was overlooking talent out there. Whoever it was, it is clear that he was right.

Could have been me or EastTexasEagle. Next, we need to be more active in Lufkin and down to the Orange, Tx. and Little Cypress areas. Louisiana Tech has three commitments from West Orange Stark, a perennial 3A power down there. UT and other programs like Houston constantly sign top recruits from down there.

We may not be overlooking the talent over there, but the fact that other schools do is what makes East Texas so good for us. The lack of exposure those kids get, compared to DFW kids, makes it a lot easier for us. Plus, a lot of out of state schools that recruit Texas focus on the big areas (DFW, Houston, SA).

Getting guys like Tee Goree and Sam Miller is huge. But could you imagine Tee Goree playing for a school like DeSoto or Southlake, or Sam Miller playing for a school like Coppell or Arlington Martin? They had about 10 offers each before committing to us. They would've easily had at or over 20 had they been playing for schools like that. Maybe we still would've landed them but it would've been a lot harder.

Still plenty of talent in DFW for us, but East Texas will be huge for us going forward.

One reason it is nice to have Tommy Perry here. He's a Lee grad from Tyler.

I hope we offer Ryan Cox. He is from my hometown of Jefferson, Texas. We are recruiting him as a guard. He does not have any offers yet, but there is interest from several big schools.

The three players are also included on the combined Tyler Morning Telegraph and Longview News-Journal's "Preseason Football Dream Team", just announced this morning.
