The thing I don’t like about Dino’s recruiting is that he doesn’t seem to have a philosophy. We seem to recruit different regions of the country on different years. I think this article shows you the most that relationships matter. That’s why I firmly believe you have to plan to recruit a certain area and stick to it. It also hurts with the constant changes to the staff. Every time you bring in a new position coach there goes time the prior coach put into certain relationships.  I loved Marrone’s strategy. I’ve said it before but I think his staff was under rated as recruiters and most importantly great at identifying and developing talent. With the emergence of new recruiting territories close to us I feel we should target the following areas for most of our kids.

NYS
NJ
NE - lots of solid prep schools
Canada - CA has pumped out a ton of highly rated recruits the last 5 years. Montreal/Toronto
PA
Ohio
DMV
Fla

if you’re telling me you can’t find 80 solid players from those areas and another 5 or so from NC/SC/Mich then there is a problem. I don’t get all these offers from Arizona, California, Texas, Mississippi and Hawaii. These kids are the first to leave if they don’t play right away.
