Theoretically that is the case, but like Shab said there hasn't been a ton of talent in this area lately. The one big recruit I can think of in the past few years was the PG Bolden from Kentucky who went to WVU. Tony Campbell turned out alright too.
I can't think of too many from SW Ohio recently we have missed on. There was Isaiah Johnson, but we ended up with Antonio Campbell instead so I am very happy about that.
I remember we were interested in McCormick who ended up at Miami, but he busted pretty hard there. Also we offered Jalen Avery, but he ended up at Kent. He hasn't done anything spectacular there yet either.
