of course they will take a good player from anywhere if they feel the fit is right. we have always gotten a kid or two from FL and lately we get about the same from TX. seem to be doing a little more business in MO and have also always gotten kids here and there from WI. currently have at least one Canadian
but ultimately there are only so many coaches and so much time. in theory, if SD, MN, IA, NE, and AZ got 99% of the time and energy and we hired a new coach with ties to some other state, say?? virginia. and that coach now accounted for 10-15% of the staff time and energy going to virginia. it is not like there is still 99% for the previous areas of focus. point being if you have the same amount of staff, the same amount of hours in the day, the same recruiting budget, and you begin spending more recruiting capital in a new location it is almost impossible to NOT spend less capital in an old location
AGAIN i am not trying to say that the staff never considers doing something different. I believe they do a very good job of being open minded to new ideas and new choices that would improve the program and at the same time understanding the things that have made them successful and not going away from those without very good reasons
