How many people must be recruited from a state for it to be considered your pipeline?

[Frosty The Snowbuff]

I happened to catch some of the SIU / UMASS game and heard an announcer mention something about how SIU has this so-called pipeline in Louisiana.....

So I actually took the time to look up Louisiana players on SIU's roster expecting to see a bunch of Louisiana players only to see 5 on the roster (All from Southern Louisiana....of course)....

So this leads me to ask how many recruits must you recruit from an area / state for it to be considered your pipeline????

We asctually have more players from Florida than Louisiana this year. We have had several Louisiana players over the years, however. I remember there were quite a few on the 1983 championship team.

I don't think it's a certain number, it's the fact that over time you have players coming from that particular school or city.

GSU recruits heavily from FL and it shows on our roster but then again, all schools try to pull players from FL.

Montana is our pipeline!!!!

Along with WA, ID, OR, and CA
