Many of you may remember that last week Dan Wetzel at Yahoo wrote a column in which he asserted that the Pac-12 was falling behind its competition around the country by letting premium West Coast recruits leave the area. It includes quotes from Rivals’ national recruiting director Mike Farrell such as the following: “You have California kids going to Clemson. You have California kids looking at SEC schools. In all the time I’ve been doing this, I’ve never seen so many five-star players on the West Coast having no interest in staying home.”
Wetzel addresses the biggest flaw with the article.
