Texas is a talent rich state, and Houston is a talent rich city. Being a school in the state of a Texas is a big recruiting advantage. But recruiting successfully in a small state can be done.
I agree. Kentucky does not have anywhere near the talent the state of Texas does. Houston by itself probably has more that Kentucky. That is why it is imperative we keep guys like Jackson, Young, Daniel, Hughes, and Robinson here to play. We need to keep the top 5-7 in state players home and steal a few from the surrounding states to be competitive.

Texas produces tons of P5 talent a year, always has, but it also has 8 D1 teams instate teams and I have no idea how many lower level schools. Add that to OU OSU both making a living by recruiting Texas and LSU and Arkansas occasionally pulling a big time kid from there the talent gets spread out. In the Early years of Mack Brown Texas got just about every kid they wanted, probably 20 of the top 25 instate kids and had them committed by June. But Texas slipping a little, A&M joining the SEC, Baylor and TCU becoming powers in the Big12 has put an end to that. In fact it is forcing Strong to head back into Florida to recruit. Texas is probably number 4 with the instate kids there now. HS football is huge in Texas, they have HS stadiums bigger than some D1 schools.
