ACC recruiting has been difficult for Pitt under both coaches.
I think it is time to recruit to the league and not our school.
I think we need to give up on going head to head with ACC schools in the ACC footprint.(unless this is some connection that might indicate a chance at success: family alum, close friends with high school or AAU coach, etc.)
I think we need to concentrate on recruiting kids that are impressed by the ACC (but not heavily recruited by the top tier ACC schools) in other leagues footprints: SEC territory, Big 12 territory, Pac 10 territory and Big East, American and Atlantic 10 territory.
We need to do this because we have no natural recruiting territory.
We need to pitch the best league in the country and best exposure in the country to draw from areas where that approach can work.
