Phat, you and I could recruit for Miami in Dade County.  That said, Golden can recruit, I realize that.
 
As for Golden recruiting NJ for BC, I think he would find things quite a bit different then they were when he was recruiting the snot out of NJ for UVA.  The main difference is Rutgers.  The State U was not an option for the best players in the state at that point.  Heck even the B-list players weren't an option for Rutgers.  We had just finished the worst stretch of any BCS program EVER under Terry Shea and Schiano was trying to put together a team that would eventually be built on the shoulders of two kids from NY, not NJ.
 
Now the culture in NJ is much different than it was in 2001.  Rutgers is a major player for the states top talent and that includes those kids who came through the Catholic school powerhouses.  On top of that, recruiting juggernauts such as Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State and North Carolina have never left NJ.
