The Top 10 are committed to Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Georgia, NC State, NC State, Temple, Virginia. Other than maybe Temple, which of those recruiting wars should we be expected to win? Beyond that, there are a bunch of uncommitted kids and a few committed to the likes of Navy, Elon, and Georgia State. Should we pursue those players just because they are in the "Pilot Top 50" even if they don't fit our needs? I'd rather go out and get a player from outside the area that meets a need than take a local product who might not be good enough or might not fill a need just to say we have a "Pilot Top 20" player.

I know Liberty, ECU, JMU, and others have gotten some recruits in our area. We have needs all round and you always recruit every position especially if they are a top recruit in the area. Sorry but our goal should be to recruit over the existing players. No excuses we should have landed at least 2 of the top 25.
