I looked at the upcoming DT prospects earlier in the year and found that Michigan had several. Notre Dame always used to "make a living" winning the recruiting battle in Michigan, New Jersey, and occasional sprinkling in of Chicago, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio as far as big tough guys were concerned. There's no reason in my mind that we cannot still win those fights. And typically none of those guys are afraid of weather.
The rest of the reporter's statistics point to four obvious [to me] things: 1]. we should continue to fight the hard fight in Florida and Georgia [I'm not sure the "Alabama fight" would be worth it]; 2]. we need to be as much a presence in the Carolinas as possible. Beamer has known this for years---not just on size and power, but blazers as well; 3]. Notice that the Texas graph is listing heavily to the East. That's HOUSTON! Houston produces more university football players and athletes in general than any location in the country. We need to muscle in there. 4]. Get the jet ready and get a plan, not only for Hawaii but Samoa as well. I've thought this for at least a decade now, watching the Polynesians, who seem to be made of a different form of massive protein, blast the goo out of everybody they run into without regard to race, color, or creed.
Obviously, one doesn't HAVE to dominate any of these areas [like OSU does in Ohio], but if one does NOT dominate one or two, you better be good in as many as possible. My ex-Virginia Tech brother has been regaling me with the richness of the coastal Carolina area for more than a decade, and my weight lifting coach brother has been wowing me about Houston equally long. Somehow we should wedge in there. And have a few Meli Kilikimaka celebrations each year in the islands as well.

Mike,
I would love for the Irish staff to come down each year and nab a stud or 2 from not only Hawaii but Samoa and Tonga as well. Go Irish
