It appears that he is going to Lawrence Central. Do you think he will funnel any players our way? It seemed like Butch Jones recruited Indy a lot heavier than the golfer.

Based on his history he will likely funnel them to B10 schools.

Not to derail this into another Kerry Coombs thread, but the only reason Jones recruited Indy so well was because of KC. Coombs coached there for a stretch early in his career and had a lot of contacts at Warren Central, Pike and Ben Davis. Tuberville only recruited one scholarship player out of Indy (Gerrid Doaks- who ironically went to Lawrence Central).

I imagine if a player is good enough, this staff will be on it. They're big on recruiting within the 100 mile radius of campus. I also think they'll continue to recruit heavily in Illinois and in GA/FL/other parts of the South based on some connections coaches have in those regions.

Thanks for the insight. That's kind of surprising considering he is a UC grad.

According to Rivals, Rodenberg had 34 players commit to D-1 schools (32 at Moeller, 1 at CovCath, 1 at McNick). They went to:

5 - Michigan State
2 - Notre Dame, Ohio State, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Ohio U., Western Michigan, Miami (OH)
1 each - Air Force, Ball State, Boston College, Buffalo, Georgia State, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami (FL), Navy, Northwestern, ODU, Penn State, Pitt, Wisconsin

Of those, 18 had offers to UC:
4 - Michigan State (2 of these ended up in the NFL - Marcus Rush and Greg Jones)
2 - Notre Dame, Ohio State, Cincinnati,
1 - Air Force, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami (FL), Northwestern, Penn State, Pitt, Wisconsin

Of course, UC missed out on Rodenberg's first and arguably best recruit because we didn't offer him: Bryan Cupito (from McNick) ended up becoming Minnesota's all-time leading passer at QB.
