Yes they should. Question is why doesn't the current staff develop recruiting connections there? Seems a fertile ground and regionally it certainly makes sense.

Because RR and staff has no ties to the state texas.

Yates was co-DC at Texas A&M in 2012 and 2013. He recruited Texas during that stint. http://247sports.com/Coach/Marcel-Yates ... meRecruits" target="_blank There are 7 Texas commits on that list. Don't know anything about those Texas high schools, but it's a start. I don't suppose there are any leftover Texas connections from the Stoops era to be re-kindled.

They've been able to build a bit of a Louisiana pipeline. With Yates' help they might have some success expanding into Texas.

I forget about he was the Co. DC at Texas A&M.

Marcel's real connection is LA where he grew up. He and Donte were brought in to mine California.

Yeah that true but their just one freaky problem. How many recruiting classes do we need to get back on track.

RR has been able to bring in several decent JC but a lot them weren't really impact players.

If he wants to coach at AZ in 2018 that will need to change.

I disagree with that statement. He be the coach in 17 and 18 season if Byrnes doesn't come out with unrealistic expectation for the football program after a 3-9 season. Either next season we finish with yet another good Recruiting Class but fall too 5-7 or 6-6, Everyone else is already predicting that it going to follow like Mike Stoop final year. Byrnes has to understand that Arizona isn't a program that can just turnaround a bad season to good season at ease. 18 season is where it going to end with RR.

Arizona doesn't have enough in state talent that we have an excuse for not trying to recruit any state. There are schools (Floridas, TX, CA and LA) that can survive on local talent. Arizona is not that program. We need tentacles everywhere to offset the in state disadvantages.

RR and the staff are hitting TX pretty straight forward. 8 prospects from the state of TX.

• Miles Battle: Cypress Creek HS (Houston, TX)/WR/6-foot-4/182 pounds/3*
• Braeden Daniels: Hebron HS (Carrollton, TX)/OG/6-foot-4/275 pounds/3*
• Chasen Hines: Marshall HS (Marshall, TX)/C/6-foot-3/340 pounds/4*
• Tayland Humphrey: Klein Oak HS (Spring, TX)/DT/6-foot-6/365 pounds/0*/Hutch CC
• Starrland Baldwin Jr: Cypress Falls HS (Houston, TX)/CB/5-foot-10/160 pounds/3*
• D’Shawn Jamison: Lamar HS (Houston, TX)/CB/5-foot-10/173 pounds/4*
• Christian Young: Foster HS (Richmond, TX)/CB/6-foot-1/191 pounds/0*
• Taye Barber: Cypress Springs HS (Cypress, TX)/ATH/5-foot-10/175 pounds/3*

It probably too little too late but it a start.
