The Northeast strategy only works if you have elite recruiters and resources to go head to head with Penn State and win at least half of those battles.  That’s what will return this program to where it should be.

I can’t speak for others, but I personally was doubtful of a Northeast strategy because the university wasn’t hiring the level of recruiters necessary to be successful nor were they investing in the program at the level necessary to be successful. That worm has clearly turned. But it doesn’t happen without guys like Fran and ERob and significant levels of NIL money to land a guy like McCord.  If you employ a NE strategy without people and resources like that, you end up with the 2nd and 3rd tier which is limited in this region.  That’s why recruiting places like the Carolinas, GA and FL were so important to Babers staff because they couldn’t compete head to head with PSU for blue chip northeast recruits, and the 2nd and 3rd tier of recruits in those states are generally better than the 2nd and 3rd tier of the Northeast.
