Um, no. I agree with the premise of mandatory redshirting incoming frosh for acclimation purposes. BUT, ignoring local talent at skill positions in preference for recruiting out of state? Obviously you don't subscribe to the notion of protecting one's borders.
To take your theory a step further, does it still apply if UConn reinstates it's lacrosse team to varsity level? Would you advocate forsaking the quality local players in local lax hotbeds who currently must go out of state in lieu of mutually exclusive out of state recruitment? It's counterproductive on too many levels. You will thumb your nose at talent who may help, you are antagonizing prospective future recruits & drying up recruiting roots, & you won't increase your fan base with those fans who would want to see how their local heroes perform at the next level at State U.
One of MANY reasons that I chose to matriculate at UConn was to follow the career of Vin Clements, a Southington star who chose to play at UConn. Just sayin'. (In full disclosure, I would have chosen UConn anyway as many members of my family are alums.)
