I wonder if the pundits will adopt the truth that "we're not even trying" in replacement of the fiction "it's difficult to recruit to Manhattan".
I say fiction, because I don't think it's true and because the theory has clearly never been tested.
It is a fiction about recruiting due to location is that much of a detriment. Alabama is in freaking Tuscaloosa, Auburn is in tiny Auburn AL, Clemson is in an even tinier Clemson SC. Hell West Virginia has won tons of BCS bowls and while not doing hot right now has proven success in Morgantown. Heck even at the FCS level freaking North Dakota State has had immense success and it's in North Dakota. If location mattered that much than only the best locals would ever get the best recruits. It's mostly coaches, then somewhat tradition followed closely by facilities. That
lie those numbnuts at the phog somehow believe is that being only 1/2 hour outside of a somewhat larger city in KC but i still have to drive there is that much bigger of a pull for recruiting. It means virtually nothing to recruits and only for the fans who don't have to go as far to see their teams play.
