Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 1654423, member: 5685"] The core areas are important. The question is why do some feel that Conn and Mass are within the core? The majority of each of those states is outside a 200 mile radius from SU. There is no "local" advantage. Kids don't grow up wanting to go to SU there. Ohio, Maryland, and Northern VA are all within 400 miles. If you want to count Conn and Mass shouldn't those states be considered as well? SU's recruiting footprint should be areas we play games close by. Both home and away. Why should we hit Conn or Mass more than North Carolina when we play more games in North Carolina? And the talent in that state is much much better? SU's local core should be NY, NPA, and NNJ. That is it. [/QUOTE]
