Yeah it did, Mac didn't recruit solely from "South Carolina and Florida" but he didn't focus majority on kids from EKY who can't even write their name. You'll get an exception every now and then, but you're out of your mind if you think Pikeville can win conference doing what it's doing now. It's all a money game at Pikeville. It's sort of sad, actually, you can't blame Dudley, but then again he is the face of the program.

It's a money game everywhere. UPike cashes in a lot of money off these local players (KEES, Pell Grants, Loans, etc.) and they know it is easier to bring them in, so I concur with you on that point. However, as far as recruiting tactics go, I like the EKY focus, sure, they still go outside of the area to get some players which I believe is a good idea, I would never suggest Pikeville be some sort of EKY all-star conglomerate, but as RIUTG stated earlier, you need to go outside of the area to get the speed you need to compete, and I agree with that. Also, the more local kids in the program and on the field playing will definitely build more excitement and interest in the program, meaning more butts in seats and more $$$ for the University, I don't see a problem there. I think Coach Hilton needs more time, he's a good coach.
