In-State Recruiting
Okay, two things before I get to the point:
1. Zurp and I were talking about this during a Cleveland cornhole tournament today. This topic is mainly his idea, so he gets credit for the thread...
2. If this belongs in the main football forum, then please move it mods... and I apologize...
3. I can't count... Zurp and I did very well in the cornhole tournament. We won our entry fee and all of our beer money back. YAY!
Okay, so the question is, which college would benefit the most if high school players were required to go to an in-state school? And which would be hurt the most?
My thoughts on the most beneficial:
1. Penn State - they must lose a lot of high school talent each year. Look at Pryor!!!
2. Buckeyes!!! - After Texas, Florida, and California, Ohio must be the most rich state for high school talent. Although those other states have multiple Div 1 teams in each state, keeping Ohio kids in-state means keeping them at Ohio State for the most part. We would make out big.
3. Maybe USC??? They are definitely the place to be in California right now. They would have their pick at CA guys... although they basically do already.
My thoughts on the least beneficial:
1. Michigan - They would be crushed with no out-of-state recruiting. DEAD!
2. Louisville - Can Kentucky really have that much in-state talent?
3. WV - same as Louisville?
Granted, I'm no recruiting expert, so smash my theories if they're stupid. Go ahead!!! SMASH THEM!!! COME ON!!! DO IT!!!

I would think Notre Dame would top this list, given your scenario.

other states...
LSU would do very well!!! They are like OSU - the dominant instate team.
UGA would do very well. They would take the majority of the top recruits and GT would get the rest.
The states of Louisiana and Georgia put out a lot of football talent. |

You know, maybe I'm a bit biased, but Ohio seems so deep in HS talent that Kent State, Akron, Cincy, Toledo, and BG would benefit quite a bit too. I think their recruiting classes would go up if they got the in-state players that the Buckeyes missed.
