Interesting Recruiting story

[tornado]

Sports Illustrated have the 50 states all logged in as to who has recruited them the best.
They look at the best players from each state over the past few years and who has landed them.

Bradley wins for doing the best job recruiting Minnesota!
(and they don't even account for Ray Brown)

That is really a strange way to break down recruiting. Aldrich and Dahlman were "elite" players in high school, and were recruited by the highest schools. O'Bryant simply was not an elite player in high school, and didn't become one until last March. So Bradley wins this designation as the best recruiters in Minnesota, even though they just got everyone else's leftovers, and 2 of the total of 3 recruits (Brown and Xavier Crawford are the other 2) never contirbuted at all! :lol:

Northern Iowa (Coleman, Crawford, Pedescleaux, Kwadzo) has done well in Minny, as has Marquette (Amoroso, Mbakwe, and others).
