It should be IMPROVED. But I dont see how we can be in that position unless our program is the level of Ohio State. OSU is the flagship university of Ohio and they cannot even get all of the elite talent. There have been very many elite players from Ohio (NE Ohio as well) who have chosen schools like UM, MSU, ND, etc over OSU. The state of Ohio isn't just a competition between OSU and the MAC schools, its a national competition.
Agreed. I dont think GP1 realizes that Ohio is highly recruited nationally.They may not be top 5 per capita, but they are top 5 number wise. That is still pretty damn impressive. Like I said above, it's not just a race between OSU, Cinci, and the MAC schools.
A more realistic goal, IMO, would be to steal a few recruits a season that have offers to B1G schools, maybe even one or two from OSU or another elite school. As well as being the the #1 option in the MAC for kids to choose.
