It seems like we take a long time to identify a qb for each class so I dont find this surprising. That is something we definitely should do better at because QB are usually the earliest of commits.

It seems we take a long time to identify MOST players from the DFW area. I thought this was going to change when JJ first got here but it seems to be the same ol', same ol' just like Bennett!

The lack of quality QB interest year in and year out really astounds me. I expected 2-3 4-stars interested every single year.

Again, June seems to make all his finds by word-of-mouth and happenstance...maybe we should be constantly emailing him video of DFW recruits...

We didn't sign a single DFW Top 50 in 2012-not a priority

We had a big time QB very interested in us but according to his words we didn't give him the time of day.
