We can agree to disagree on the talent level in the NE. I gave you a handful of examples.  I'd like them to keep improving in the NE (building the brand long-term), then leverage the brand and branch out more nationally.   I don't think you accept the status quo and try to go down South and hope it turns out differently.  That's a tough slog.  Why is it tough? Because there are lower-tier schools in the South that offer the same recruiting pitch as you suggest but with better weather and equivalent facilities.  I have no clue as to how much, if any effort they put in down there.   I would think if the South (for example) was a compelling opportunity they would be down there taking action. Penders doesn't strike me as the type who isn't open to course correction.  Seems open to change.  I would be surgical in the South. Recruit guys who show interest, have a coaching or family connection, etc.   Sans Ellisen and Simmons I think the rest of the roster is from NE.  Someone will correct me if that is wrong.  I just think that they can improve off that baseline as they spawn out nationally. I could be completely wrong here.
