According to Wiki the population in the NYC tri-state area is something like 22 million.  The population for NY State is something like 19 million with NYC and Long Island and the counties directly to the north of NYC comprising perhaps 55-60% or more of the total NY state population.  If recruiting is in any way a numbers game, then focusing on the NYC kids is a must. 
 
The NYC tri-state area is the most populous urban area in the US, and one of the largest in the world which is amazing if you consider the gigantic cities in China and other parts of the world. 
 
The city schools lack the funds and the space to run high school football programs where the kids are developed to the same degree as high schools in other parts of the country.  It's not even close to most schools in the South.  But the talent exists, and over time SU could become widely known for developing talent from NYC.  No one understands this better in my opinion than HCDM for obvious reasons beginning with his childhood home in the Bronx.
