I guess my point is we develop athletes and a big part of what we do is "those who stay will be champions."
I think culturally it's safer to target kids from the midwest. A kid from Texas will experience a major culture shock in weather going from Texas to North Dakota. You don't see thst as much with kids from Nebraska, Wisconsin, or even Illinois. California to North Dakota is a different planet. I dont think we can ever make a pipeline from Texas. There are probably better athletes but to get a guy like DJ or Holloway, you need to increase the number of a Texas kids. Meanwhile we could be missing out on safer hidden gems like Emmanuel, Dudzik, Jensen, or Heagle. With the needed depth I think it's a safer route to get mostly midwest kids. Sometimes there isn't enough talent so you can target the southern kids but it cant be a primary source of athletes. Thats what lead to a 3-8 and 6-5 season. We got these so called studs while sdsu was winning many battles in our main recruiting area. Our attrition was through the roof while sdsu was super low. Is anyone concerned we don't have much activity in Nebraska?
I all goes in cycles. FYI we had guys on our team from TX in the early 70s.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
