Yeah, it is where the coaches have their contacts.
Also one of those chicken or egg situations. Do you need to be great before your allowed to go after the big recruits or do you go after big recruits to be great.
When you put your school on a list that includes Ohio State, OU and FSU, it is automatic marketing. Pull one or two relatively big names and it can snowball from there. Marion is capitalizing on grabbing Agiye Hall and the buzz it created along with the other 4 star recruits/transfers. Don't be shy now. Spotlight is on Sac State. Build on the momentum.
Agiye hasn’t signed yet. We’ll see on that one.
I submit that it isn’t even about the top recruits in those football rich states. Like CA, it’s about finding the overlooked and under-recruited gems — like Cam Skattebo.
Ohio State largely has Ohio on lockdown. The Florida and Texas schools largely have their states on lockdown. And the other P4 schools get their fair share from those football rich states.
But there is still more talent to be had. There’s no reason Sac State can’t compete for those other student-athletes. And if they get lucky and land a player considered way over their head — so much the better.
