Increasing "local" talent here is NOT a good thing unless they are B1G caliber players and we are not getting those. Even the MAC players of recent years have not been very good and don't pan out well in the MVFC. There was a Mooney safety that got picked on quite often over these past few years. YSU desparately needs national players, especially from Fla., Calif., and other Southern states and fewer from the Valley. This class looks awful so far. Another back to back poor recruiting class will bring Paladin to predicting losing seasons. That's how I first made the first predictions years ago of back to back losing seasons when everyone thought all was well and I was nuts.
BTW, in Wolf first few months here , he recruited , ALMOST alone, and brought in a top class. Pelini never carried a "recruiting" reputation and its showing.
