Think WVU has struggled with this recently? Kevin Sumlin has 3 4* players on his son’s HS team 2.2 miles away from Arizona’s campus and none of them are going to play for Arizona.
“Not landing the top players in Arizona is a theme for the Wildcats, and it dates to before Sumlin was hired. In the past five recruiting classes (2015-19), there have been a total of 18 consensus four- and five-star prospects in the state. Arizona has signed one, four-star offensive tackle Keenan Walker in 2015; he never played a game with the Wildcats before transferring in 2017.”
Rough.
