I don't think he's talking about why Texas or Texas A&M isn't as successful as UA, LSU, or UGA. I think he's suggesting the elite high school players in Alabama, Lousisiana, and Georgia are more prepared than those from Texas
This is what I was asking. I wasn’t trolling, I just wondered why these kids from these states seemed more capable of of doing well on this level.
This was not an attack on anyone, just wanted to know from those who are more in the know than me thought or knew.
I hope we can pull more kids from these states, they seem tougher. We have plenty of kids in Arkansas who could make an impact mentally but they are too small or not fast enough. If we could grow them big and fast our program would be better, the want to is there. I guess that’s why we turn out coaches instead of players.
Thanks for the input.

Odd melt. Why does the state of Texas producing elite talent trigger you so much?

My theory is that kids growing up in areas with more built-out media coverage of HS football (Texas, the Midwest, even Atlanta) are more likely to get a lot of coverage, leading to a higher ranking. This, in turn, leads to more of them being “overrated,” through no real fault of their own.
Anecdotally, a 4* from South GA has seemed to me to be less likely to bust than a 4* from Atlanta.
