During The Opening Dallas regional this weekend, I spent time polling 16 recruits (all hold P5 offers) about a number of different topics ranging from why prospects are leaving the state to if players should be paid for appearing in video games.

We published Part 1 on Tuesday. The survey was completely anonymous. Check out the results below.

On a 1-5 scale, how much do academics really play a role in your recruitment?

5 - 62%

4 - 38%

1 - 0%

2 - 0%

3 - 0%

Quick Take: Fans always seem to complain when recruits say they chose a school because of academics. But recruits were honest throughout the survey and made it clear that strong academics can make a difference.

Interesting quote: "Definitely five. I care about life after football, too."

Would you mind having a gay/transgender player on your team?

Yes - 53%

No - 47%

Quick Take: Recruits really struggled to answer this question. While the numbers were close, it doesn't appear that gay/transgender players are fully accepted in the world of football.

Interesting quote: "Come on EJ, why are you asking me this? No just no. I don't want none of that on my team."

Which school spends the most time negative recruiting?

Baylor - 20%

TCU - 13%

Tulsa - 13%

Oklahoma State - 13%

Houston - 13%

Alabama - 13%

Ohio State - 7.5%

Illinois - 7.5%

Quick Take: There were some really random answers here. While a few did match up, it seems that most schools use negative recruiting as part of their arsenal of tactics.

Interesting quote: "I think all schools do their fair share of negative recruiting. Some just do it more than others."

What is the biggest reason recruits are leaving the state?

Better chance to win a title - 50%

Get away from home - 31%

Better opportunities outside of football - 19%

Quick Take: More and more top recruits are starting to leave the state. Right now, there are no true contenders, and recruits care about winning now. Alabama, Ohio State, etc. can offer that.

Interesting quote: "Because the teams in Texas suck. That's really it."

Should you be paid if your likeness is used in video games?

Yes - 88%

No - 12%

Quick Take: The overwhelming majority of recruits want the NCAA video games back, but they also want to be paid for appearing in them.

Interesting quote: "Yes. But I mean, we're going to get paid regardless."

Who is the most overrated recruit in the 2018 class?

Quick Take: Four-star IMG Academy (Fla.) wide receiver Joshua Moore didn't get much love from his peers. However, Moore dominated at the small-school level last season and earned an invitation to The Opening finals. (Some voted for both Moore brothers)

Interesting quote: "Joshua Moore. He's just not that good. He has way too much hype."

On a 1-5 scale, how accurate are 247Sports’ rankings?

3 - 44%

2 - 25%

1 - 19%

5 - 12%

4 - 0%

Quick Take: Ranking players is an inexact science and you can't please everybody. I was actually surprised that the answers weren't more negative. Three isn't too bad for us.

Interesting quote: "I don't feel like they're accurate at all. You're not doing the rankings. They don't even come see us in person. I mean, who does the rankings?"

Have you ever lied about having a concussion?

No - 88%

Yes - 12%

Quick Take: The most interesting takeaway from this question was the fact that most recruits said they hadn't lied because they've never had a concussion.

Interesting quote: "No. I've never had one in my life, and I've been playing football my whole life."

Which is the best program in Texas?

TCU 50%

Texas A&M 19%

Texas 19%

Baylor 12%

Quick Take: TCU won by a good margin and rightfully so. The Horned Frogs have been fairly consistent over the last decade. I was surprised that Texas A&M didn't get more votes and that Texas got as many votes as it did based on recent results.

Interesting quote: "It has to be TCU. They are winning the most."
