I think it's very important to pull guys in from the midwest period. Indiana is a no brainer, but pulling in guys from IL, OH, MI, etc. would be ideal.

Indiana was ground zero, but Illinois and Ohio were very much core areas. These are nowhere near complete lists, but just the first examples I thought of: IL: Buckner, Crews, Zeke, Grunwald, Wisman, Blab, Sloan OH: May, Carter, Eyl, and several guys that were good but transferred: Calloway, Collier, Funderburke (not sure what that says about Ohio, but Knight didn't ignore it) I think Giomi was from Ohio as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that include a certain former alum who also has a radio show in Indy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t all have to be Indiana kids, but even just focusing largely in the Midwest will pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
