Coach Kwiatkowski from a pre-Texas interview:
ON RECRUITING TEXAS AND THE PIPELINE ALREADY BEING THERE FROM THEIR TIME AT BSU"We recruited Texas, mainly the Houston and Dallas areas, when we were (at Boise State). We're going to stay in Dallas and the same areas. (Keith Bhonapha) got a running back from the Waco area and I know we're recruiting guys in other areas that aren't in those footprints, but it always comes back to your relationship with the (prep) coaches and then building those relationships with the players. We understand there's a lot of schools those guys have got to fly over (to get to Washington), so them having a relationship with us as coaches and us getting them the information about the type of education Washington can give those guys, the built in advantages that athletes, especially football players, have in getting a degree from Washington in regards to the business community and the Seattle area or across the country with all these big companies that are in Seattle. That's a big talking point with us in getting these guys interested in Washington. As everybody knows, Texas has got really good football, all of their coaches are on campus. If you coach in Texas, you have to be a certified teacher, so that's a big-time built-in advantage for those guys because every day they have eyes on their kids and they know what's going on with their kids and they can keep them on point and grounded and pointed in the right direction. Those relationships we build with those coaches are really important in the recruiting process with those guys."
