I'm aware of Texas geography.

I'm not saying there isn't more talent in a five-six hour driving radius from Baylor campus. I'm saying if you use the same parameters you're now including parts of MD and OH.

Adding NE/NJ/NY/PA to parts of MD/OH gives you a correct view of what we are up against. If you just say NE/NJ/NY/PA then yeah it's a pretty big difference.

I'd also throw in the fact that if your Baylor, you're  selling the driving distance to player/families. Babers is doing that same thing to that 5-6 hour radius. But we play more away games or a wider range than Baylor does.

Is Briles selling that one away game to all those rare talents in West Virginia? Of course not, TX kids can fill out his team pretty easily.

But we play a fair amount of away games in FL, NC, VA, SC. We can and do sell that to kids from the south too.

All in all - I think the recruiting disadvantages for Syracuse are overblown to an extent. Our problem has been winning.
