From David Ubben at Fox Sports SW. Here's the link.
I particularly liked this one selection, because (for selfish reasons) it's something I've been stressing over and over about why Baylor's not recruiting top 20 classes now -- but probably will be in 3-5 years, or perhaps as soon as 2016.
"What I'm doing is recruiting 11-year-old males right now sitting in front of the TV every Saturday," Briles told Fox Sports Southwest. "They sit there and for six years, they see Baylor being a dominant football program and on the national scene. When they're 17, they're thinking that's the place I need to go."
"To me, to change perceptions and traditions, it's a 12-year process. We're certainly in the beginning stages of that, but that's where I want to see it go. I want to see it go to where in 15 years, they're talking about the best sustained football programs over the last 20 years, I want them to be saying Baylor."
