I don't think the areas that Mick would recruit would change, but UC in the Big 12 is much more attractive than UC in the AAC.

Oh, no doubt. But I'd have to think the B12 plays better in Houston and Dallas than it does in Queens or Brooklyn. Just speculation on my part.

I don't buy the regional stuff as much as other I guess. Sure I think recruits in NYC would rather play in the ACC than the Big 12, but that isn't a choice for UC. I do think a recruit in NYC, all other things being equal, would rather play in the Big 12 than the AAC. I'll expect a jump in Cronin's recruiting, which may be foolish on my part.
