The difference this year in CA though is that outside of the top 10 or 12, there isn't anyone Texas would want IMO that they couldn't pull an equivalent or better from Texas. And look at the positions represented there. Domani Jackson is locked in at SC. Texas doesn't need RBs or DBs from CA, probably doesn't need OL from there, so its down to WR (maybe? Seems like we're locked in for a monster haul from Texas this year) or LBs. They got Murphy and that might be it unless they can pull Williams. I'll believe MacMillan in burnt orange when I see it. He's got Notre Dame, 'furd or SC written all over him. I dont think we'll pull Tuihalamaka and who knows what is going on with David Bailey.
So I just don't see Texas getting much more from California this year. He's right about AZ though. I don't know what ASU or Zona is doing in that state but they don't get ANY of the best players from there. Like EVER. And the talent base and quality of football is exploding there.
