Texas is good to us.....but don't act like if you cut Texas off from us we will drop dead........Pay attention......our Focus is back on Louisiana.....We have just as much talent here as we was getting from TX
He always says that. But we just signed another player from Texas in basketball to go with Hyder and Miller who are also from Texas. The other kid that was supposed to come from Texas last year had grade issues. Not like we are not getting Texas kids anymore at all. Hell it is time for us to get some local kids. That is what helped Jobe and Pete win. Wasn't like we had kids from Texas as our key players doing the great SU run. LOL. In Football we had really 2 good players from Texas that helped us win SWAC titles. One was Ryan Lewis at RB who had to wait until his Sr year to even start. The other was the DeMarcus Miller kid who was a prop and had to sit out for a year before playing. Our success began with local talent like his Coach Heish Northern and his homeboys Eric Randall, Landry Green etc. Most of those early Pete teams were homegrown La kids with a sprinkle of kids from NC or somebody like Wofford from Cali etc. Same for the Jobe years in basketball. Texas kids never were on the basketball radar. Even Moreland at TxSU went to Ms with his connections to always fill his roster at TxSU. SU may be Texas heavy student body wise when it comes to out of state students but we have never just relied on getting Texas kids to win in the SWAC in sports. Hell the band has probably had more influx of Texas kids than the sports programs over the last 20-30 years.
