Houston, Texas A&M go all the way to Texas for new satellite camps

For some schools (ahem, Michigan), satellite camps mean traveling to other states, time zones and/or regions of the country globe to show off the brand and attract talent to the school.

For Texas programs, satellite camps are about keeping the in-state talent IN THE STATE.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the Houston area are the two biggest talent pools in the Lone Star State. It's no surprise that Texas A&M wants to recruit them both. And it's no surprise that the University of Houston wants to reel recruits from DFW.

The two schools have teamed up to add three camps to their summer lists, and Houston head coach Tom Herman's goal is clear:
