Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4621823, member: 5685"] The ACC move isn't why we stink the last 9 years. That is on JB and the assistants. If you are a Top 10 team, you can recruit anywhere. If you have a good HC, you can recruit anywhere. If you have a stud assistant, you can pull kids from their area. BTW both Red and GMac had ONE year of recruiting experience combined prior to SU. If you have a bunch of NIL money, you can recruit anywhere. But if your HC is average, you assistants aren't stud recruiters, you don't have an NIL war chest, and you haven't been ranked past XMas since 2014... it sure would help if you played a bunch of games locally to your recruiting base. The bigger issue IMO is being connected to our alumni. We play ONE game past XMas over a two year period within DC/Boston. These alumni used to fill arenas to see SU play. IMO that won't happen in the South as it requires real travel. Watching on TV isn't the same as being there. [/QUOTE]
