I can't wait to see what Leach does for our Texas recruiting. He's at least getting in the home & getting a visit with most of these kids that used to be a pipe dream
Leach's connection is every recruit knows that he is going to throw the ball 50 times a game and they're going to put up video game numbers.

It's really great for us because we traditionally have a hard time recruiting QB's and RB's because our image is that we run the ball all the time. Leach instantly changes that. And at the same time our reputation for developing good defensive players remains intact. Leach's o-line coach appears to be promising. I definitely agree with Leach's philosophy of bringing in five every year. It's just difficult to accurately assess offensive linemen and how they will develop over time. There's even risk with five star o-line recruits- albeit less than with a three star o-line prospect- relative to other positions.

The other thing I like about Leach is even if I'm way off here he has a reputation of taking guys that aren't blue chips and turning them into productive players at the QB and receiver position- also a big bonus for us.

With us being in the SEC and having the defensive reputation that we have the raw ingredients are there for Leach to take us- and him- to the next level.
