When I looked at the geography of Dave Doeren’s recruiting at NC State, I found a heavy reliance on in-state kids—nearly half of the prospects that his staff has signed (48%) are from North Carolina. And his staff has heavily mined both the triangle and the Charlotte area
Tom O’Brien and his staff also relied heavily on North Carolina prospects, but to a significantly lesser degree. In the same span of time (six recruiting cycles), TOB’s staff signed 43 North Carolina prospects, vs. 66 for Doeren.
If we compare the “NC State Backyard” bucket (as defined in the post linked up top), Doeren has signed 19 kids in the triangle against a mere nine for TOB.
