But the point is he's nearing 60 and why would he want to recruit kids hundred miles away for almost all of the recruits he gets. He had SOLID recruiting bases at Florida and OSU
The key is not so much where there from, but their ranking and quality......like 4 & 5 star kids. You're naming some states that have football factories in them - Texas, Texas A&M, Florida, FSU, Miami, USC. Georgia etc.....As for the B!G conference - OSU, Michigan, and PSU also hit some of those states hard......especially OSU who's pulled some phenominal talent out of Texas, Georgia and especially Florida in the last couple of decades. The difference - all of the schools mentioned have really solid HS football within a 300 to 400 mile radius to start with - and then they branch out. Nebraska is really at a big disadvantage starting out
