Ah no.  It's significant for BC because of their relationship with the Catholic schools.  And Hafley is a NJ native and worked NJ hard when he was at Pitt and Rutgers the first time.  RU fans if given the choice would want the guy on their staff.

I'd continue to focus efforts on PA, MD/DC/VA, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.  Our conference footprint where kids can leave home and still play in front of their family and friends.  I'd recruit NJ when kids showed genuine interest.  I wouldn't waste my time going up against any blue blood down there.  NJ kids are like NYC kids, they have stars in their eyes and their egos are way bigger than their actual talent.  If they think they can play at a bigger school that's where they'll go because it's all about the show.  We have zero % chance to beat OSU, Ped State, Michigan, Florida etc for any kid in NJ.  And after that top grouping why bother.  It makes little sense to battle a dozen or more schools for a kid who's no better than the same kid in Carolina where there's less competition.

*Now I will add, if we had a guy on our staff like Hafley then it would make sense but otherwise I truly don't care.
