We actually recruited players in Ohio when Rob Murphy was here. Murphy was suppose to have strong connections out there and in Michigan, but unfortunately it seemed like we could never land any of the top players from those places. I remember at one point we were in a strong position to land both David Lighty and Dallas Lauderdale. Lighty ended up tearing his ACL playing football and his family decided it would be best for him to stay closer to home and play at Ohio St. Lauderdale's mother became ill and he decided to stay close to home as well and play at Ohio St.

The current staff has their connects built in strongly on the northeast and when you want to touch into new grounds, it's all about building relationships with the HS, AAU, and handlers of these players and programs. Maybe since the staff has had plenty of success with their current recruiting grounds, they don't find the need to go into areas where they know it'll be a waste of time.
