In-state recruiting strategy

Go hard after all the best players in the state, whether or not we think we have a chance with them (provided they are the type of individual we want). Build a relationship with them. Show them we would like to have them. Then, if anything happens and their first choice does not work out, we might catch them on the bounce-back, and then that bounce-back would not be a complete negative to them, but they are going someplace they know they are wanted.
