Will be great to be getting more statewide support with local players. Back to Top L.C.

When the class isn't full, and they are still looking for good athletes, they widen the search, and end up with late acceptances from further away. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top shabamon General User Member Since: 11/17/2006 Location: Cincinnati Post Count: 6,418 Status: Offline     RE: What's with all the in-state recruits?    Posted: 7/11/2012 3:55:31 PM  I don't care where our athletes come from as long as they are good students and citizens and they can help us win.

Even if it makes a difference in support and attendence? I don't understand that reasoning.

The state has a wealth if talent, enough to stock 3 quality BCS level programs.

Ohio wants to win the instate game because if they can that forces the other schools go afar for talent and try and make it with non qualifiers.

It makes more sense for the BCS level guys to consider an Ohio over a Purdue or Boston College type program trying to sneak into this recruiting state. Brian Haines is helping.

With more kids that locals, ie ticket buyers identify with. Which should boost ticket sales. Than being said, a winning team will pull more in the end. everyone loves a winner no matter where the kids are from. USC fills the stadium because they win not because some kids are local. Shoot last year UCLA couldnt put 25k in a 100,000 seat stadium. Win and they will come Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 9  of 9 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football Recruiting' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 265 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 263 Guests 2 Registered Users:   Pataskala, Pete Chouteau There are no other users looking at this page.
