Easiest Place to Recruit

[BozoneCat]

I really think that we need to look at the states that are the largest feeder states into MSU as a whole (Washington, Minnesota, and Colorado). Montana seems to be a pretty good culture match for these kids, and the football recruits will more than likely already know people from their high school that are on campus as enrolled students.

I know for a fact that we do ZERO football recruiting in Colorado (Cerise was recomended by a coach, we didn't find him) and Minnesota. I think we pretty much focus on Cali, Washington, and (to a lesser extent) Oregon. I would love to see us hit the road a lot more in Colorado since UNC will be in the conference, and our recent game against CSU and next year's game against CU. I also think that the altitude network will help get the name out in Colorado.

With all of this exposure in Colorado, I have not a clue why we aren't recruiting there.

No doubt. Look at the grizzly roster, they have gotten some big-time studs out of Colorado over the last few years. Look at Wyoming's roster, they are full of Colorado kids. There is some big talent in Colorado, and I agree that Bozeman and Anywhere, CO is not too much of a culture shock other than the size. We need to find someone that has some ties to CO, and hit it hard.
