So Iowa gets to count Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago, St Louis and Kansas City? Good to know.
So, I created an excel file last fall where I tried to find the top 5-10 players from each state. Some states I couldn't quite fill. But, going through these lists, I'd say here's how the rosters from 2020 might turn out, by state:

I think you should cut it back to two hr drive from campus.If those are within a 4-5 hour drive from campus, then sure. At least by the standard I was using.
of course playing on a hip that needed surgery had absolutely no impact on that.Foster was in high school; this is for college basketball players in 2020. And Bohannon was wildly inefficient in the 10 games he played.

But Iowa can't claim Chicago when Illinois is, and we can't claim Minneapolis because Minnesota is, Nebraska with Omaha. Lets be realistic here, if all schools are subject to this rule.Ehh. Parents make 4-5 hour drives to see their kids play all the time. It’s a long day but it’s doable. 4 hours in the car, 2 hour game, 3 hours with kid after the game, 4 hours back.
That’s a 13 hour day. Easily done on a Saturday and something I see done a lot at FSU.
That Mashburn guy helped....I know Richie Farmer, Deron Feldhaus and John Pelphrey did ok against Duke with exception of "The Shot" that nixed it. Bunch of mountain boys from Eastern KY.
More heart than talent.
All you need to know as to why DePaul has been terrible..so does this mean we get ALL the local players and don't have to fight Northwestern and Loyola for them?

Florida's panhandle makes things weird for FSU.

I think Texas would be first in line (like football during the Mack brown days). None of the schools in Texas have done shit basketball wise (or football for that matter).But what about Baylor, TCU, Houston, etc.? Those teams would keep local talent too. It wouldn’t just all go to Texas.
G: Joe Girard (Glens Falls)I’m guessing Syracuse would not be allowed to get NYC or Philly kids and probably not Buffalo in this scenario. So that’s basically Rochester to Albany and maybe down to Binghamton? The roster would be ugly. Oddly, we’d still have our starting backcourt, Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard.

Gotcha.....We're terrible because of all your teams coming in and taking our players, but for this hypothetical scenario I only have to be concerned with Loyola, Northwestern and UIC doing that. In this scenario we only have to beat out those teams to get guys like Zeke and Eric Anderson as opposed to trying to ward off Bobby Knight.
that contradicts what you were saying earlier since there are other big schools closer to those players than Iowa is.
Is the Big East involved in this scenario?Illinois doesn't get Chicago. There are at least 2 schools in the Big10 closer to Chicago than Illinois. 3 if the traffic is better from Madison than Champaign. Illinois gets Peoria area and maybe even St. Louis.
I didn’t say the players would automatically go to the closer school. I still had MJ Walker going to FSU, even though he’s from ATL and ATL is closer to Auburn or GT.
What I said was, I wasn’t going to cherry pick the best players within 4-5 hours if that was already a person who FSU recruited and they chose to go to another school that was within the same range.
Ant Edwards, from Atlanta, was recruited by FSU, and he chose UGA. I can’t go back and magically assign him to FSU just because he’s within 4.5 hours. UGA, also within 4.5 hours, gets him.
However, CJ Walker went to Oregon. Which is not within 4.5 hours of Orlando. So in this scenario I assigned him to FSU (we recruited him), even though UCF, USF, and UF are closer.
not that it matters since this is just a fun little message board game, but I don't think FSU should get any players from ATL in this scenario. G Tech gets those players. FSU has to stick to the surrounding area which extends till they run into another big school's surrounding area.
At least that's how I interpret this thread.
