Obviously teams like OSU and Penn State and even Michigan have the homefield advantage in each state but I also add the Noerth East as part of there recruiing grounds, the closer to home a student stay with a top notch program the better everybody feels, there are exceptions like the New Jersey to Nebraska pipeline, but I think if Rutgers is for real, and maintains program consistency we may soon see them become a top ten power, especially after JoePa leaves at PSU, Rutgers would be able to recruit heavily in the Philly area or most of Eastern Pennsylvania. Rutgers is on my programs to watch list this year, possible top twenty.
my god my spelling sucks, my 150 dollar keyboard is broken so I must use this 8.99 radio shack reject until its fixed, that and I dont proofread.
So apoligies to all.
oh yeah, especially for Penn State.
Penn State has or has had quite a few players from New Jersey and New York.
Ohio State tries, but they have a tendency to try to stay at home as much as possible.
