It is mostly football. It’s pretty hard to track other sports. I think five of our thirteen outbound from football this year were southern kids who entered the portal plus a couple from Missouri. Almost all were kids from outside Southwest Ohio - which I am aware is now reflective of our team overall.
What I’m feeling, I guess, is that we are recruiting a lot of kids who have no emotional, social, geographical or familial attachment to Miami, Oxford or even to Ohio. Their patience threshold might be a bit lower than kids from the area.

I like his confidence and vision. Seems like he has the work ethic to back it up.
Hoping for an exciting season next year.
