The staff should recruit talent not focus on an area. Prohm and Kane are from the south and have strong connections to the coaches there which helps get them in the door and build relationships. Getting THT, Griffin and Conditt out of Illinois was a great haul but that has not been a traditional recruiting bed for ISU and will be more difficult with Underwood now recruiting at a high level. ISU has recruited Wisconsin well but a big reason for that was TJ prior to Haliburton. It is important to make connections in the Midwest as it is easier to recruit closer to home/ISU but they shouldn't focus on that if they have in's with better players in the Northeast, South or West.
