Haven't we been hearing this for the last 11 years? I think we've been the youngest team in the nation for at least the last 5.

Interesting Tidbit from SID Report:
# of Players (All-in; includes walk-ons and scout team)

Texas - Greater DFW Area: 51
Other States (CA, NJ, VA, SC, HI, OH, IL, KS, FL, GA, MI, MS, AZ): 22
Texas- Greater Houston Area: 12
Other States (Contiguous - OK, ARK, LA): 9
Texas - East / NE: 8
Texas - South: 5
Texas - Central: 5
Texas - West: 2
Grand Total: 114

I wonder if the demographics will change significantly. I have the means to do this by year (FR, SR, etc.) to see if trends change. Wonder if they will.
