Cal recruited nationally, as well as getting who he wanted from the city. Finch and Dana - different times, to be sure - but they recruited 99% locally. Their success depended upon how strong the city classes were. Fortunately, we had some strong city classes back then.

After we had fallen and were having trouble getting back up (sound familiar?), Cal managed to convince kids from Chicago, Detroit, Camden, Boston, etc. to come rebuild our program. And he did it going toe-to-toe with programs like Kansas and Kentucky for the players he wanted. He was a great recruiter.
