I don't believe that is true of the Florida and Georgia kids.
We could win the East for the next 5 years and Florida will simply start recruiting along the 'Bring the home front back to power' angle. We're not going to snipe key recruits from established football states with major universities.
We can, however, keep them in state.

I don't see a problem for us in attracting in-state 4* or 5* recruits. When we produce kids of that caliber, we sure seem to get our fair share of them, especially when we are playing well.
I am more down on the MO prep talent than others in this thread. We do poorly in St. Louis, yet I can't remember too many St. Louis "misses" (other than Montee Ball) that went on to do much of anything in college.
If anything, I think we need to focus more attention on Illinois. That state produces 5-8 4* kids a year. We should pick off a few of those kids every year.
