how important is it these days?
If it's a place we should continue to fight top 10 talent in, wouldn't mind having Ohio-ties be one of the "preferred" criteria in a job posting should there be a staff shake up this off-season. Or get the Chris Partridge of Ohio and groom him. On paper, current staff has basically no recruiting ties south of the border.
Not surprisingly, current regime has landed 4 prospects from the state overall (Ulizio, Robbins, Honigford, Hudson). Kinnell would make 5 but he was a Hoke commit.
For comparison, MSU has 19 Ohio commits over that time frame, at least 5 of whom currently start (Bochie, Dowell twins, Campbell on OL, Scott)
Is the Stanford canvas-the-nation model the right approach or over the long term do you need to make hay in your talent-rich border state if you're Michigan?
