"The Mustangs are one of the most consistent programs in the country when it comes to producing high major Division 1 talent. They have kids spread out throughout the country and they all have good futures ahead of them. It's interesting to watch so much talent play within the team concept because often times when you have players of that caliber they want to highlight their own game. They are very competitive and you’ll see the Mustangs go pretty deep in each tournament they play in. Dallas has a lot of talent and has really made a name for itself the last couple of years for developing and producing basketball talent and Tony Johnson does a good job of getting the kids in that area to play together. ”

"Tony Johnson and the Dallas Mustangs organization represents the D/FW metroplex the way most elite programs should. I have been knowing Tony and most of his staff for over seven years in the metroplex grinding from being a young AAU program to an elite nationally recognized program.Without Elite programs like the Mustangs in the metroplex,there would not be a Dallas Preps".
