Consensus seems to be that we currently recruit Ohio State's leftovers from Ohio, and similar ideas like that. I'll concede that it's tough to recruit to Iowa, and that we'll always be getting someone's leftovers, but what happened to the Florida pipeline from the early Ferentz years? Was that a Philbin thing? Here's a list of guys who were leftovers, but they were Florida, Florida State, and Miami's leftovers:
Mo Brown
Colin Cole
Fred Barr
C.J. Jones
Brad Banks
Antwan Allen
George Lewis
Abdul Hodge
Damian Sims
Marcus Paschal
Also, it appears Ferentz's teams used to get a good deal of Texas's leftovers (e.g.):
Jon Babineaux
Scott Chandler
Drew Tate
Ken Iwebema
Clinton Solomon
Looking at our current roster, there are still a few Texas guys, but only one from Florida. I know it's not easy to convince guys to come up here from down there, but I think I'd like our chances better scooping up guys destined for Sun Belt teams/Kentucky than destined for the MAC/Indiana. I was all on board for grabbing the top mid-Atlantic guys too, like we were a couple years ago, but our current play and the Coker fiasco may end that.
