Strong's first impression was to tell a defensive coach he was coaching wrong. That coach had a player named Otaro Alaka.
Congrats on Alaka but your post is totally false. quote:
After pleasantries were exchanged, Eaton said Strong began with a question: Was Eaton an offensive or defensive coach? Defense, he said. Strong liked that answer.
So the new Longhorns coach extended an offer: Tell me what you need help with. What gave his Eagles trouble this season? The answer: Eaton hated defending the Diamond formation.
So Strong grabbed a marker and went to the whiteboard, delivering an impromptu seminar of X's and O's. Eaton had never seen that before. He'd later say it was one of the coolest visits he'd ever hosted.

So you're saying Strong impressed the hell out of the HS coach and still managed to lose an important LB recruit that had been committed to the longhorns for almost a year?

Oklahoma State's diamond formation is going to shred Strong's defense just like it shredded Mack Brown's.
