So, you're numbers are a bit off, though I get your point.  We recruit well.  But you've effectively supported my position.  What do all of those recruits, with the exception of Melo, have in common?  They are were all recruited in our sweet spot (NJ, NY, NEPSAC, Pbilly, B-More).  I know we recruit well in these areas and we get (sometimes) great (more often) good players that allow us to compete with and beat the blue bloods.  And as long as those areas keep pumping out great players, we'll be fine if we stick to our current strategy.

I'd just like it if the staff said, to h$ll where a kid lives, we're getting him.  Geography shouldn't matter if there is a fantastic player that has interest in the program and has made it known that he'd like to be recruited (see Porter, Michael).  Those are the kinds of players that I'd hope JB would target.  Just hasn't seemed to happen for whatever reason.

And Melo was recruited 8 years ago.  It's been awhile since we've extended our reach.
