Chad knew to hit East Texas harder than anywhere else and he closed the most talented class we've had in 10+ yrs. It had like 10 or 11 4* prospects, including Catalon (a future 1st or 2nd Rd pick) and Burks (also a possible 1st or 2nd rounder, although his knees may drop him).

To say the man did not know where and how to recruit is just silly. He just had no idea how to run a program and what to do with the talent once it actually got to campus.

I'm just being objective here.

Only reason Chad got Catalon was Chad's sister is the Mansfield Legacy girls basketball coach where Jalen went to HS and Chad allowed his brother Kendall to transfer here from Southern. We all knew about Burks his entire HS career since 8th-9th grade.

Look deeper at those 10 or 11 4*'s.

Burks is from Arkansas and would have played for Jimmie Dykes coaching the team.

What does that have to do with East Texas?

Who else besides those two have even contributed at a significant level yet?
