So what's the consensus overall? Are we recruiting kids at the top of the CAA level? For example, are we stealing recruits from JMU? There is WAY too many players to keep track of in FB, especially recruiting, so I don't go through each player and see their offers, etc...just asking for those in the know. Is GG getting the players he's supposed to be getting or are we whiffing on a bunch which is going to result in subpar CAA seasons to come?

If you look at JMU’s roster it’s overwhelmingly populated by players from VA, NC and MD. There’s a smattering of PA and NJ kids as well. UA has 37 kids from NY and has had some success in MD, PA and Ohio. Here’s the thing, and it’s just a theory and could be way off base. SBN did a study of top football prospects from 2013-2017...4 and 5 Star by state. The top three are as expected and the three largest states as well....CA, TX and FL. VA and NC are in the top 10 and MD is #12. I should think it follows that overall, the football talent in the top states provides a richer recruiting ground for local schools. Here’s the sad part, NY, the 4th largest state, ranks 35th! New England is bad too. If UA is going to competitive long term it has to pick off lots of top FCS talent in the Northeast and make strong inroads into the mid Atlantic states. I think they are doing what they can to improve. Unless UA establishes itself as a perennial playoff team I don’t see us stealing many recruits from JMU, Richmond or Elon.

Can't disagree! UA does make offers to kids from Va, NC, Fl  but they seldom come here.   Maybe too far north - I may be pounding salt here!!!!  Different climate.  JMU is right outside of Washington and gets some bad weather too but not like what we get.    PLus their success obviously make them a good choice for the top kids.  We have to have success to start getting top recruits I guess.  Very subject.

I have a thought though.  Check the rosters from schools in other conferences and other schools in ours.  CAA is the #1 Ranked FCS conference in the country this year going in.  Why are the ones from the South and the Midwestern states not tops??  Just wondering.  I really have not checked ANY rosters, just replying to the comment on JMU's and wondering.

Lots of offers out still for kids who have not committed.   They wait too long and there is no longer a need at their position.   Too bad because some of them look like studs.
