Pitt and WVU has a leg up on UC in recruiting fertile recruiting grounds in NEO and Western PA. A kid from Cleveland like Gibson would be less than two hours away from home at Pitt, while going to UC is four hours away. UC really needs to do a better job of reeling in the local talent, kids from Dayton, Columbus, Indiana and KY. We have started a little with the local kids but I still feel we have a long way to go in that department. The better players from Dayton won't even talk to UC but we have made some in-roads in Columbus oddly enough.
Obviously we have done well Indy the past few seasons.
