Inside Look At Texas Recruiting 
From someone who has lived in Texas and attended/coached at a powerhouse football high school, let me give my two cents.
This is how the game is played down here. Unfortunately, there are a lot of top prospects (football and basketball) with no positive male role models in their lives. No fathers, sometimes no mothers as well, and they are raised by grandparents or older family members. These kids are preyed upon by "uncles" like Will Lyles, who will tell you they are just trying to help the kid (and they do help in the short-run) but in the long-run, they have one motive--hope the kid hits it big and leach some of his money.
High school football coaches SHOULD be positive role models as well, but they too have their own agendas. Each of the major high schools in the state have coaching staffs loyal to certain programs. There are UT schools, A&M schools, OU schools etc. etc. My high school had a big-time prospect attend LSU and get kicked out because of his own stupid mistakes...but the coaches are too loyal to the kid and refuse to admit his wrong-doings....now LSU coaches are banned from the school's campus. Coaches handle the mail for many of the kids, and discard letters from schools they don't "trust"--not allowing the kids to make their own decisions.
