I would think if possible to go after more in state players. Especially around the Little Rock area. Keep those boys home. Additionally I would think maybe we could steal some higher caliber D2 players? Only other option would be to go the JUCO route, which would bring short term success. You are going to have to get players that want to play at UCA.
That is a HUGE problem Mulerider. I was told by a head coach at one of the Little Rock schools that he had only one coach from UCA to recruit his kids over a 12-15 year period and that was Pennell.
I inquired about that and it does appear we have completely stopped recruiting Little Rock and the state. The one's from Arkansas that do come usually are interested in the Honors College or something special pertaining to their major.
