Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 4093457, member: 2133"] define "recently" ... the last Philly core was in 2010. Rak's the only other recruit from there and that was ~10 years ago. I don't have a problem with recruiting the NE/MD/VA/PA area, it's rich in talent. And SU has missed on a lot of them. I think great recruiters build relationships and don't rely on them. If SU is a bigtime school, then it shouldn't be a big lift to recruit nationally. Nate Oats is from the upper midwest and Buffalo and he's got recruits from all over. Mick Cronin is from Ohio and he's got a pile of elite recruits from CA and NV as well as a former SU target from NY. Good coaches leverage their positives and get recruits wherever they are. They're not restricted by previously established connections. That's all. I don't worry about where a coach is from. [/QUOTE]
