Recruiting is often a complicated process! Sometimes, when you get in early on a recruit and show a sincere interest by following up regularly it builds a relationship which is honored late in the process. McKinley Wright, even though he did not eventually come to UD stated that he wanted to play for Archie Miller because we were the first to offer before no one else had heard of him and Tom Ostrum called him almost every day!

UD is never going to be able to get all of the local talent to stay home. Luke Kennard's parents had connections to other big time colleges but in the end he thought Duke was best for him.
Chris Wright and McKinley Wright were not top 10 recruits. I get all that you are saying, but unless the a kid grew up a UD fan his whole life and his dream was to play at UD, we are not going to keep local kids that are top 10 recruits. We aren't even the top school in our region of the state. While we may steal a few from OSU, X, and UC, right now all 3 are recruiting at a much higher level than we are and typically get the better Ohio recruits.
