High School Recruiting Struggles in Texas

[BLUEDOVE3]

I know my friend DV is quite busy around this time so I thought it would be interesting to put a little pressure on him when he returns. DV, why aren't you guys keeping  Texas recruits in Texas???  8)

Here is a question for you Dickie-  When you are talking with a potential recruit, do you let them know that they are talking to basketball "royalty"?

I said nothing about them asking, I wanted to know if you made them aware that they were dealing with basketball royalty.

If you were in the room with greatness, would you have to ask who it is? Exactly! ;) ;D ;D

If I was in the room with LeBron, Kobe, MJ, Bird, Magic, Auberbach, Jackson, Krzyzewski, I wouldnt have to ask who it is.  Pretty sure you are not yet in that crowd.

YET is the key word in that statement, my good friend! 8)....Plus those coaches are MUCH older than me, so I am headed in the right direction to one day BE in such great company! ;)
