Dooley and Joseph have more recruiting ties in Texas, Georgia, Louisiana and Virginia. We don't have a coach with a lot of ties in NC. The aforementioned states will compensate for NC. Also, I don't really think we have a coach with ties in SC as well, so I don't expect to get a lot of South Carolina recruits. On the other hand, Lance Thompson recruits the MS, GA, Bama areas well, so we will be looking at different areas than in the past.
I think recruits from NC are interested in Tennessee but they have more exposure to UGA, UF, Clemson and FSU because those schools have ties to the Charlotte areas due to past recruits. For example, Charlotte Independence has sent a lot of kids to UGA (Joe Cox, Massoqui off the top of my head(sic)). Independence also sent Chris Leak to UF.
