I usually have nothing good to say about that state! However, I was thinking about it and I can't really think of too many flops we've had there in recruiting (note: my era is 2000 and newer):

Great players:

Harnish
Napalm
Spann
Onyebeagu

Good players:

Perez
Mcintosh (verdict out but I wouldn't call a talented backup at worst a bad player)
Lee (could move to great category in time)
Mosley (verdict still out but seems to be making contributions to a stacked D as a true frosh)

Am I missing some glaring ones?

I feel like you could probably do the same thing with Wisky and Mizzou guys as well. Illinois has produced a lot of great players for us but I think a lot of our misses have also been home state guys as well.

Southern guys are a different animal.

I'm not sure which perez you're referring to but perez ashford was from Ohio and perez ford is from Illinois.

NIU has done a good job from that state though. I think lee will be really solid as I've really liked him and Mario jones stuffing the middle. Great d tackle combo.

He means Marcus Perez, another WR who played for NIU from '04-'08.

He and Napalm went to the same high school.

My bad, a little before my time.

Well I followed from 03-05 so so i mean I was 12-14 then and we went to 1-2 games a year then I didn't go to another game until 08 so I fell off in that 05-08 span when we didn't go since my brothers werent there anymore.

But ya, you're old as hell.

Canada went to high school at Culver Academy in Indiana.

So we should be calling him Indianada or Candiana?

Candiana sounds pretty awesome.
