I know that and you know that but would
Chris Wright ever had decided to come to the University of Dayton if we hadn't recruited him early and shown a sincere interest in him?
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.
