Re: 2015 Recruiting List
You might have a point with our success with CA kids (though I think Dalton Douglas is going to be a gem), but I can't agree with AZ recruits. With the past success of Jimmy Rogers and Danny Batten, as well as the current success of JeRyan Butler and Dallas Brown (and more than likely Plote this year), Arizona has given us some solid players and not an abnormal amount of attrition, which happens with every class regardless of where they are from.
In terms of some of the misses you've pointed out, the majority of them were offered but chose to go else where. Marlette had an offer from SDSU but chose NDSU, Snyder, at least at one time, had an offer but ultimately felt walking on to a Big Ten School was his best option (good thing we didn't wait around for him), and honestly, I, and obviously many other people due to his lack offers, wasn't very high on Van Ginkel. He may turn out to be good, but I wouldn't put money on it.
In terms of Schmidt (and Reiff), we have to be realistic. If they get Big Ten offers, they are not coming to SDSU unless of some extenuating circumstance. Christon might be a tough get as well if he feels he has to take the highest offer he has (MAC > MVFC in general football thought).
Once again, we are on a lot of these kids, but there are a thousand different reasons they could chose another school over us. If we were ignoring these kids, I could see your point, but I just don't see that as the case.
