any thoughts about why it seems like we have to bring kids in from all over the country/world? it stood out to me that delaware's roster is mostly pa and md kids. davis is from right there in newark.

Even Bruiser had a tough time recruiting local kids, despite being local and having the connections. The players who want to stay local have so many choices of like minded mid-majors (Penn, SJU, LaSalle, and even throw Delaware into the mix). Spiker also isn't local and doesn't have the local connections that Ingelsby has, and that was clearly one of the criticisms of Drexel's choice to hire Spiker over Ingelsby. Drexel's staff has to work that much harder to recruit from around the world to get players who might not be familiar with the hierarchy of Philadelphia's college sports teams.
