We actually gave Mcbride an offer back in the Flanagan days. Then Wes got fired and the offer went nowhere since Mcbride got a P5 offer to Kansas. He's been hopping around ever since.

I wish I could answer this question more specifically given I grew up and went to school with some of these guys. My best guess, Home is not where they're trying to be, its where they're trying to move away from at this age. I could be more specific but basically some of these guys haven't explored much out of the state and strive to be away from home for awhile. Just how it is unfortunately.

Honestly, that view is more reasonable and is better than the possibility that 1. we didn't try to recruit them or 2. they don't want to play for us because of our coach, team, program, etc.
