The hurry up/spread in Texas HS has ruined football
Nah, I don't think that is it.
The problem is all the money and focus at the high school level. Part of the whole recruiting game is factoring in what happens when a kid from a regular high school gets developed by top coaches in top facilities with top strength and conditioning. At a lot of high schools in Texas the players get developed better than they would get at mid-major colleges. So talent peaks early, and college coaches have to figure out which ones are already at their ceiling.
Nick Saban has done an amazing job identifying which Texas players still have room to grow. A lot of teams in Texas (including A&M) haven't, and I think that is because we are too happy to take Mr. Peaked Senior Year of High School because our recruiting rankings look better with more four stars.

This is what recruiters were saying about kids in Louisiana who attend West Monroe high. They have a college level S&C program with legit facilities. They also tend to hold their kids back when they're young, so they say a ton of the kids don't have a lot of upside because they're closer to being maxed out genetically before the next level.
