It boils down to time mgmt and being realistic.  Johnson is not from Waterbury and not attending a relatively modest private school in the center of the state.   I know nothing about Johnson's back story, but I had heard that Rudolph's family did like the idea of UConn at one point along the way and I do know from living down this way that Brunswick and all of their people (parents/admin/alumni) will be pushing and pulling Johnson to ND, Michigan or Stanford.  We will need a very unique set of circumstances to get a star Brunswick baller to UConn (basically the parents would have to be alumni and already major program boosters).   Much more likely for a unique set of circumstances to materialize from a private school kid mid state than Brunswick.

As for bigger picture, yes - we will need to start getting some of these top 20 instate kids to stay home.  Never going to build a winner with 100% out of state kids.  Also never going to build a winner with a roster of more than 50% instate kids either.   Need a blend.
