Alabama's recruitment went off the charts when the school started recruiting OOS students - particularly ones in Texas. With their top 10% only rule, many Texas students were left out. In stepped Alabama with scholarship money and multiple football National Championships. Football is a big deal in Texas. With their colleges tanking in football - Alabama thrashed UT in one NC game - the students were ripe for the picking.

Alabama colleges pluck a lot of students from Georgia as well. They offer scholarships and in state tuition to many.
Is Texas driving some of the giant numbers at Arkansas and Ole Miss, too? 160+ in a pledge class at Arkansas?! It would take me a whole semester to learn all their names.

Absolutely. and Georgia, I suspect.
Those lottery-funded educations are great, but a lot of good students get pushed out.
I know California students are surging to out-of-state colleges. There are scads at Alabama.

Yep. I know a kid who didn't get into UGA with a 3.8 GPA. He went to Bama. I swear, I know more people's kids who've gone out of state rather than stay. A lot of them go to Alabama schools.
