Does any school other than Texas have a realistic shot at this guy?

Saw on a website that it's basically Texas vs. A&M and he is committing one of those soon.

Texas is one state we rarely get recruits. Just too much competition.

Combined with the fact that we haven't recruited there previously.

Looks like that part might be changing. We'll se if we can get some of them.

You are right.
Not just Texas and TAMU...but Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, and TCU in state.
Throw in Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, LSU, Arkansas and Mizzou and you are barking up a tall tree to get a kid to come to South Carolina.

Well if you have a staff member that has ties or a network to some coaches and schools in that state, you'd be a fool not to at least throw something out there and see what happens. That is exactly was USC is doing. Every year, they should be putting offers out in states like Texas, California, and Ohio because you can't get those players unless you at least try. I think eventually, they'll get a bite.

You are starting to see it this year. Thaddeus Snodgrass from Ohio is a great example. If USC gets him on campus, they got a shot.
