It is and it isn't. It really depends on who you are referring to. I would like to see us land more instate OL. Our starting OL the last couple of years was made up of guys from Illinois with the exception of Petitbon.
Marcus Harper was committed here and Kevo Wesley was close to committing to us. Guys like these are realistic gets for us and the kind of guys we need to start landing if we want to keep up with the rest of the conference in terms of recruiting.
Lovie himself has said that recruiting starts at home and they've clearly made an effort to land instate recruits. We'll see if that pays off this year.
I know 2021 kids like Justin Johnson, Markiese Irving, Willie Shaw, Pat Coogan, Dominic Lovett, Keontez Lewis, Tyler McLaurin, etc. have all been offered and they all have been on campus at least once. It's clear that the staff wants these guys and there is at least some interest from these recruits since they've taken the time to visit or camp with us. I don't think it's unrealistic to hope that we can close the deal with three or four of these guys.
