I think its great for the long term health of the program. Not so many years ago Ohio failed at recruiting top Ohio talent, and to get the talent they needed they recruited Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, California, etc. That's all fine as far as winning, but it does nothing for fan support.
Increasingly Ohio is made up of players from the city, state and region, meaning parents and friends can become fans, ticket purchasers, and attenders. The overall program continues to move in a positive direction.
