Great finish by the coaching staff and players and support staff. They were short-handed. Jeff Traylor did great job in East Texas. Brick in Louisiana. BJ in D/FW, Norvell in D/FW. Vance in parts of Houston and Beaumont. Chris Vaughn also. Gilbert and Mattox were able to make their presence felt on in-homes.

Best salesmen were the players. Had workouts this morning, players were hanging out in the offices today. Formed a group message, had a bunch of recruits in the group message. Players were so involved.

Malik called Strong the other day, said Delance is out of group message. Malik thought something was up. Then Omenihu calls with the same issue. Elliott then hit Strong saying he's going to A&M. Strong called Delance's mom, Delance in background said he was only playing and the guys took it too seriously.

At the end of the day, it's about relationships. Had 32 players take official visits, signed 24 of them. Had one big weekend where 19 on campus. When they get them on campus, don't have to do much. Faculty and staff do great work helping recruit the kids.
